1t is wondered if Jacobsen, the
boss blacksmith at the Raritan Cop
pei Works, will be present at he
Naconca game Saturday afternoon at
the Copper Works field? The fool
fshness of this question cannot be
appreciated until one gets acquaint-
ed with him and discovers just how
much of a fan he is.
Jacobsen walked down the gang
plank at Ellis Island just seven
years ago. He stayed only a few
days in the big city and then hoped
the train for Perth Amboy, finally
winding up at the Raritan Copper
Works, where he has been hanging
his hat ever since. From the very
first time he witnessed the great
American game Jacobsen took a
fancy to vt though at first he re-
manned silent from the fact that not
enough United States lingo had been
Scompree" to let people know what
he was yelling.
Still at times his feeling would
overcome his thoughts and an outlet
of a collection of foreign phrases
would pour forth. Many did not
know what they meant nor care but
somehow or other it could be felt
that they conveyed the impression Of
being encouragement. Later Jacob
en-, after many painful practices
every day, finally mastered enough
of our difficult tongue twisters to
make himself understood. Especial

A not a word common to the game
that "Jacobie' does not use.
Now any Saturday afternoon one
can hear him shouting When the at

moment of the game, especially when

ment, which though mixed with a
pronunciation given only to foreign

Now when the Ingots n the Ma

and listen for "Jacobie's" little shout.
that has all the individuality of
Diede's high strung coaching.
Big Game Saturday
Naconca vs. Raritan Copper
Works. That is the notice being plas-
tered up all about town. Just take
q slant at 1t, you fans Doesn't q
feeling of satisfaction come over you7
Another good attraction booked by
Manager Bergen is about what you
are thinking and will end up with
Twill have to be present"
The Ingots defeated the Naconca
no so many moons bach by a largo
score but that doesn't mean anything
Tor the coming struggle. Don't think
that the locals are going to have
such a cinch. The invaders are COM
ing down from New York State with
blood in the eyes and are even bring
ing the 'tin can" to stick on the In
gots.
The of the Naconca has
informed the local plant that their
boys have been holding practice ses-
sions. 1t can be seen that such hard
rehearsals are not for the sport of
the game only. 1t means they are
determined to meander back home
with the score even up. Wen leave
Perth Amboy only when we have de-
feated the Ingots is the general feel
ing expressed by the rank and file
OF the Hastings team.
A game like that, with the friendly
feeling mixed in, is just what the
fans are looking for. 1t gives many
Of us the opportunity of unloading
our lungs with a few good shouts and
again scamper around like in we
olde kid days" Even the officials OF
the Copper Works have been spot
