The Naconca team from Hastings.
N. z, the combination booked to
brave the 'bull pen" with the Ingots
tomorrow afternoon at the Raritan
Copper Works diamond, have already
begun to round up their players prior
to their trip to this city.
If there Is any rank of players who
desire to take the scalp of the local
Ingots It is this crew that was so
Inundated by the Copper Works last
month when they defeated the Hast
ings town boys by 16-1. They have
promised their town folks they would
return to their burg only when the
bad men, are made to eat the
"cornwi1ly" in the same quantity as
they were forced to slide down their
throats in the first game on the back
lots in Hastings. They are coming
back with a pig initial "V" in front
of their John Hancock"
You know as soon as some one &C
complishes anything In this world OF
ours they place an initial or two In
front of their given monicker. The
Naconca are modest and are claiming
that they will but place one In the
foreground of their name. The Dig
initial "V' will stand for victory and
victory in its full sense of the word.
The Ingots, 1t Is almost needless
to say, will lever see the defeat nag
run up the pole to float lazily over
the field to denote to the public that
they were subdued. From what can
be learned from the plant the general
feeling hanging around there Is that
the Naconca are coming to a mo

Perth ANXIOUS
and WheelerS
Play Off Tie

The Perth Amboys oppose the
Wheeler C~ondensers here Sunday Just
picture you 'Tbleacher hounds" what
a leak in the roof up there in the
angels home would do to spoil all the
enjoyment sewed up in that Sunday
contest.
The break In the existing tie must
come to the surface On the Sabbath
when these two combinations clash
and just who will be the conquering
hero will have to be left until the
cohorts complete their diamond wrag-
Cling. OF curse we are abiding by
the old addage of "patronize your
home products" In his respect the
Wheelers too have many citizens, up
in Roosevelt, clambering after their
wares"
Last Sunday the Condensers took
the biggest share of the sweets when
they downed the Railway A. A. by a
score of 5-4. Early in the struggle,
to be precise, in the initial chapter,
the Wheelers secured five runs and
from then on were held s~coreless. The
boys from the Reformery Town nan
aged to come across for two in the
third and two more in the fifth. The
big Scratch allowed early in the
game was too much for the Railway
boys to overcome. lust such an early
lead is contemplated by the Wheelers
when they marched into this town
Sunday. Wen get to that Amboy
bunch right from the start" The
game, according to their prophecy,
will be just as safe as your gold teeth
are from some pickpocket.

up In the Wheeler's burg for any of
our local hackers. Betting is not al

there are many blind tigers and

in being placed.

and St. Anthony
Juniors Clash Sunday

Time well spent will be the verdict
OF the fans who throng to the Rar-
itan Copper Works field this Sunday
to see the Lehighs of North Amboy
make their third trial to snatch VIC
tory from the champion st. Anthony
Juniors. The game starts promptly
at 1 o'clock.

two teams met n it was not until
the ninth inning hat the Saints final
ly emerged victorious by a score of
As. About a month g the second
game was played n this was nip
and tuck throughout, the victor being
uncertain until the last man was
buried" in the tenth.
This Sunday will find Art Young,
the clever southpaw of the Saints,
1inging them up against the Lehigh
sluggers n judging from the brand
of ball pitched by him of late, the
Lehigh batters will do very little hit
ting. The Lehighs have secured
Hess. q South Amboy twirler, who
has been having a great season. He
has pitched against the Saints in
three games, winning one and losing
two.
Two umpires, Gus Kelly and
Jimmy O'NIara, will give the deci-
sions in this affair. Fans who travel
to a baseball diamond always hope
for good umpiring, and in this case
their wish has been complied with.
for it would be hard to find two bet
ter men in this section.

DAVENPORT GOOD AS ORATOR
Tall Pitcher Never Lost Opportunity
to Tell His Mates How to Win
Baseball Games.

Dave Davenport, besides being the
tallest man in baseball, possesses the
greatest line of chatter in diamond cir
cles. Dave is quite some talker. He
talks himself into the reputation OF be-
ing the greatest clubhouse pitcher In
the American league, according to one
Of his fellow players with the Browns.
1t was a habit with Fielder Jones to
hold a meeting in the clubhouse just
before going out on the field. Fielder
would talk over with his men about
the weak points of the opposition and
tell the pitcher he intended using
where to pitch to each man.
After Fielder had finished his ora
ton Dave would Immediately get on
the "old soap box" as the players say,
and tell how he baf!ed this and that
player with certain shoots. Dave sell

dom gave anyone else a chance to ut
ter a word, and the meeting generally
broke up with the tall boy still telling
how the game should be played on that
particular afternoon.
1t sometimes happened, however,
that Davenport would be sent to the
mound. The players on the bench
would eagerly watch the tall Texan.
He had a habit of tossing up a slow
ball quite often, and invariably some
player on the opposing side would on
meet for a terrific wallop to the fence.
The fact that Davenport was pounded
hard and yanked out of the game on a
number Of occasions caused the
big fellow to cease telling his team
mates how to play the game. Dave
meant well and his teammates enjoyed
the act Immensely.

KETCHIKAN NEWSPAPER
 TAKEN OVER BY STONE

A company composed of business men of Ketchikan has purchased the Ketchikan Progresive-M Miner from J. | E. Rivard, and arrangemnts have been concluded whereby B. M. Stone, formerly of Nome, Seward and Val dez, will be publisher of the new company. MT. Stone promises the | people of Ketchikan a wide-awake, modern newspaper.
 The purchase price of the Progress sive-Miner has not been given out.
 The Progressive-Miner has been under the management of J. B. Rivard since the consolidation of the Pro- ago. It is the heir of other daily and weekly papers of Ketchikan. The first paper at Ketchikan was established by Governor A. P. Swineford nearly twenty years ago, which he afterward sold to l.. R. Gillette and w. S.. Coutant. Governor Swineford later established another paper-the Miner. Later these papers were consolidatd and came under the management of Richard Bushnell. A few years ago Mr. Rivard moved his Petersburg Progressive to Ketchikan and after a short time he purchased the Miner. Since then he has published the Progressive Miner.
 Ketchikan papers started and oper- ated for short time, either to sus- pend or be taken over by the older line of newspapers which have been consolidated into the Progressive Miner The last of these was the Pioneer, first monthly, and after. wards weekly, established by T. R. Needham and the late Paul F. Stan hope. It suspended a short time ago.
 A short time ago, before the sus- pension of the Pioneer, a company was organized at Ketchikan, of which F. J. Furnival and others were the moving spirits, to establish another daily newspaper. The company absorbed, it is understood, the Need- ham plant and good will. It is this l company which has purchased the Progressive-Miner.
 Mr. Stone, it is understood, will have free hand in. the managemnt of the new daily paper, which will start with the entire Ketchikan field to itself.

 But Mother Ricaux was not dis couraged, only slightly inconveni enced by her wound for short time and soon the little canteen was trun ding trenchwards again with it's tempting array of sandwiches, cheese and biscuits, pots of mustard, salad eggs-and soap!
