Athletics Established
 Lost Game Record

There is at least one record which the present day Athletics hold. Their claim to this record is not only undisputed, but it is one which no rival club would care to dispute In the last five years the club, which so to speak, represents Philadelphia in the American League has lost a total of 490 ball games, an average of 9S a year. In 1915. after Connie Mack had wrecked his great club, the Athletics lost 109 games. The following year they dropped 117 con- tests, and in 1917 were beaten 9S times. In 1918 they managed to finish the season with a record of only 76 defeats, but that was largely because the season was abbreviated. In the course of the campaign which wound up last month, they lost 90 games.

Perth Amboys viii Play
Paterson Independents

Ever since the time that the Rart-
tan Copper Works met defeat at the
hands Of the crack Paterson indie
pendents the baseball fans Of this
city have been aching for a chance
for some Amboy team to avenge this
defeat. Joe Mullen has secured the
game for this Sunday on the Raritan
Copper Works field and the fans are
assured of a classic If ever such a
game vas played here
During the early part Of July the
Paterson team came to Perth Amboy
with q string of victories a block
long. The Copper Works at the time
had quite a record themselves. The
Copper Works scored one run after
a few innings had passed while 500,
who was pitching for the Amboy
team, had the Paterson team guess
ing unsuccessfully at his slants and
curves. With the score 10 In favor
of Amboy, and both teams going
strong, many fans looked for a close
ending. and perhaps extra innings.
In the seventh inning Paterson Sc
cured its first chance to show what
kind of baseball they were capable Of
displaying, and in the last three in
nings scored nine runs. while their

pitcher held The Copper players
scoreless. Soo's wtldness. cratic
playing and the visiting teams abil-
tty to work the squeeze was the cause
Of Amboy's defeat.
With the baseball team that Joe
Mullen had on the diamond last Sun
day Amboy ought to be proud of the
fact that they have a representative
team as strong as some of the largest
cities in this section, and if they de-
feat the Paterson aggregation their
reputation will be widely spread.
Apologize or 500 win do the fiinging
for the Amboy team, Bader will be
on the receiving end. The infield will
be made UP of Coley, Egan, Stinson
and Christopherson, while in the out
field Loeser, Rodda, Regain, Ritter
and perhaps Dzurilla will cavort.
The Paterson team will pick their
finger from Mckenzie, Hubor or 7.
Bosmond; Romanello will do the
catching. In the infield will be found
Grossman, Boettcher, Fisher and
Baker. The outfield positions will
be guarded by Menegers, Buser and
