Oh. papa, did you see the Amboy
team play taps over Organs Rough
Neeks yesterday When the sun
went down in the west the score
stood FL in favor of Joe Mullins
chicks. Wowl 1t was some game.
Over $500 rabid, bowling fans wit
messed of the best attractions yet
staged on the Raritan Copper Works
diamond, and as one shirt-sleeved
rooter howled, What more can q
baseball team give 2"
oh, oh, Joe. why did you take the
rep away from the Rough Necks?
The Arabs, who are renowned for
folding their tents n stealing away
In silence, had nothing on the con-
tingent from New York. Now that's
baseball, boys, and If you could play
that way against Jawn McGraw,s
bunch of world heaters, for instance,
they'd have to keep awake every
minute to be at you.
h visitors secured more hits than
the home talent but could not seem
to make 'em come across for count
ers. Their only run was a home run
in the third by Hagen through center
and right field. He cleared the entire
circuit before the ball was retrieved.
John Kosh, the Jump, was a trihe
under the weather, pulling some
queer ones, but his fault eemed to
have been non-partial for both sides
suffered.
Eats" coley opened the battle by
striking put. Pop" Rodda played
Hagen for a free passage and later
stole second. Stretch" Burke flied
to first. Eddie "Blackie' Regain then
logged beamingly for the cudgels,
confidence high and courage good.
The crowd came up with a roar, CIV
ing "Blaekie" the swell hand. This
was Regan's first appearance in the
baseball circles hereabouts for many
moons. Did Blackie fully earn the
applause given him? Well, I should
tell. He tapped the first n on the
seam for a pretty single between first
and second, scoring Rodda for the
first tally. "Blackie" then performed
some of his old stunts on the bases,
stealing up the paths until he finally
roasted on third. Mike" 500 was at
the bal and Mike lived UP to his 500
average by cracking out a single, al
lowing Regan to ramble across with
another counter. Egan finally ended
the inning with a strikeout. But Who
cared?
Soo on the hill for Amboy had
himself well in hand and was never
in actual danger except in the third
and final innings. Mike had just
twirled the Ingots to victory Satur-
ddy, again PERFORMING Inc IRON hdi
stuff as of last Sabbath.

Necks retired without a score.
