WILL DO our BEST
SAYS PAT MORAN
Manager Of Cincinnati Reds Not
BoaStfuI Of Teams Chances
BY FIRED
N. E. A. Soprts Writer.

When 1 asked Pat Moran what
he thought about 1.-THE Nation
nj League race-he said;
"Weu do best"
And that is the limit of his
bOasting. And neither will any
man On the team boast. The Reds,
however, are not lacking in the
old fighting spirit wen though
they do not boast of what they'll
do as the Giants take pleasure in
doing.
One of the Giants said the Reds
were iucky-that they'd n lot
OF games they had no business
winning. That dope hardly stands
up. The Reds have won their
games because they have played
bangup ball from the start Of the
season. They've been lucky in
one respcct-they've had no bad
slumps. Maybe they'll go on
through the Isl without a
slump and il they do they will in
deed be lucky for seldom docs n
cam play through n easOn with
out hitting a slump, either of bat
tiers. or pitchers, or both.
And IL they do have a serious
slump-good night TO pennant as
~pirations. For the Reds haven't
the reserve strength to pull them
up. Right now Pat Moran is bad
ly In need OF an outfielder. He
is using Rube Brcssler in the out
field when he'd rather have him
in the box. Sherwood Magee isn't
In shape to play the outficld regu-
larly. Rube is a nice outfielder,
though, and is hitting, too.
The Cincinnati team all around
Is a corkcr. The pitching staff is
perhaps the best in the league
even though 1t Is a small one. The
Giants have ten able fingers.
The Giants have had all the
best of assistance. They got Frank
Snyder, q corlcing catcher, from
the Cards, and Phil Douglass. a
first class slabman from the Cubs.
Looks as though the rest of the
league wanted the Giants to win.
Not so the fans and baseball
writer's. They're pulling for the
Reds in several cities. / heard the
Pittsburgh stands applaud Reds
generously. And when the Reds
beat the Pirates six in a row there
was consolation in knowing it was
helping them to the fore.
OF course, Pat Moran had
most OF his team when he took
the Job at Cincinnati but Just tho
same he should be credited with

presence In the ring.
Tonight's six-round battle should
also develop into a rea scrap as
Mickey Brown, of New York, one of
the principals, has made a name for
himself in this city by his intensive
mode of scrapping. Brown is well
known here and will have as his OPP
ponent tonight a Harrison fistic artist
who will make his initial appearance
at the Lotos Club. Tommy McMullin
is the lad selected by Promoter Joe
McNulty to mix things with Mickey
and If he is deserving of. the rep he
has earned for himself in and about
Harrison the New Yorker can be ex-
pected to be forced to the limit.
Three bouts, each of four rounds
duration, are also promised by Joe
McNulty to serve as prelims to the
big eight and six Stanza attractions.
The principals in two of these shorter
have been announced. In one
of these Young Murphy, Of South
Amboy, and Young FRANKIE, of Perth
Amboy will clash, while in another
Kid BaIint, another local scrapper
will meet Young Corona, of Staten
Island.
The fights, which are generally
held in Palace Hall on Friday nights
of each week, are being held tonight
instead because of the bout between
Jack Britton and Mike O'Dowd at the
Sportsmen's Club in Newark on FRI
day night. Kid Potty is scheduled to
fight Joe Forgione of Newark, in a
six round Bout at that boxing show.

Hubs And Herbert
Clash Here Tonight

When Teddy Hubbs, teh Pittsburgh
ring marvel, makes his ara
IN the Lotos Club ring here tonight
It will be the first time he has been
seen in action here since hi started
MS career in the squared circle sew
erai years ago-in the days of the old
auditorium and the Permo A. c..
Hubbs, at that time. won a big fol-
lowing by his ability to hand out
beatings and take punishment also,
II necessary, and the followers of the
game in the days when he was just
starting under Jimmy De Forests
guidance will most likely be on hand
tonight to see him scrap with Matty
Herbert, ex-amateur bantam cham
pion of the state. In the main eight
round bout.
Herbert has not fought here this
year, although he was in several
bouts at the Lotos fights last summer
and all. He is recognized as one of
the cleverest boys in his class and
one who can force Hubbs to show all
of the class n ability he possessed.
Since Hubbs left these diggings to
start out On his upward climb of the
pugilistic ladder to fame he has
been in fights against 200 or more of
the scrappers who are supposed to
be in his class. In most instances
Teddy has had the better of the
argument and in scraps in which he
has had to go up against heavy odds
In the form of bigger and heavier
opponents, he has always managed to
make his opponent well aware of his

which the boxers will be required to
protect themselves at all times, or
whether clean breaks will govern the
contest. Dan Morgan. Britton,s man.
ager, will hold out for the clean
break style of boxing, for this kind
of milling will be greatly to Britton's
advantage. Mullins, O'Dowd's man.
ager, unqu~estionably will insist on

conditions O'Dowd will be able to
use his greater strength and weight

JUNIORS
ANSWER SCOUTS
Local Team Says South AmbOy
Nine Has No Claim as Champs

Manager Edward Doyle of the Saint
Anthony Juniors takes exception to
the statement issued in yesterdays
sport column in which the Boy Scouts
of South Amboy, by defeating the
Saints Juniors, claim they are the
County Champions of the younger set.
Here is what Manager Doyle states:
sporting Editor,
Evening News:
II reference to the statement in
your paper in which the Boy Scouts
of South Amboy claim that by de-
feating us, they are the Junior Coun-
ty Champions. In reply beg to say
that we defeated the real Boy Scouts
on the Copper Works diamond by a
score of 81.
THE second struggle we played in
South Amboy and were forced to face
q far different team than that put
on the field by the Scouts in their
first contest, the most noticeable oc-
cupant of n of their positions being
Monaker, a star of the senior Y. M.
G. A. outfit, who was far out of our
class. His fielding Int batting, along
with the umpire's good decisions won
an 81 diamond fist to- for the
Scouts. which ended in the eighth, the
arbitrator being touched u~nthought-
fully by those above, by a drop of
ain
Time came for the third game and
we found hat they did not care to
play in Perth Amboy, although al,
clubs know that this Is a city where
quare deals are metered out to all
opponents. Manager Manien was fl
nally induced to stage the game but
not unit he had secured another star
in A. Lyons of the South Amboy Cath
Ollie Club, who is also from the senior
class. His performances were M of
the biggest assests in their winning.
While Offering no aIibi, must say that
my team was far off it's usual standard
of playing. We have defeated the best
combinations in the county.
What have the Scouts done; that
causes them to be classed as champs?
Many teams have beaten them, take
the Y. M. G.. A. Jrs, of South Amboy
whom we have defeated twice. The
Boy Scouts are not in the running,
for the county seat honors, but If they
are sports and wish to decide between
ourselves which is the strongest, we
are ready to play them on the Raritan
Copper Works field or Keasbey
diamond for my amount and the
game to be umpired by an out of
town official.
"The Scouts would have wanted
another If they lost. OF course we do
not want any ringers in their line
up which means that Mr.. A Lyons
will be out of the make up. Mr..
Manion my address is 500 Elm street,
and I am ready to make arrangements
at any time.
with reference to the box score.
1t is evident that the South Amboy
scorer counted error and bases on
balls, for hits, giving us three extra
hits and themselves six. a
Kindly give this statement a little
prominence in your sporting sheet
Inc oblige,
Yours in Sport,
EDWARD J.. DOYLE, Mgr.
Saint Junior, B. B. G."

At ROOSEVELT
Roosevelt Field Club And
Wheeler Condenser Teams Play
Ru Special Correspondent.

By Special correspondent.
ROOSEVELT, Aug. 20:-One of
the most exciting baseball games of
the season will be seen at Brady's
field next Sunday when the Wheeler
Condenser team meets the fast and
undefeated Roosevelt Field Club in
the first game for the championship
of the borough and perhaps of the
county.
The Field Club outfit is a young
team with good talent. If the Wheel
err team win they will AVE to play
a better brand of ball than they have
of late because these young cubs are
right out after their scalp and what
little they don't know will be quickly
instilled in them by the veteran Bill
Coughlin, who has all the fine points
of the game on the tips of his fingers.
Both sides have their rooters who
will be heard during the afternoon.
II the Field Club win then Zoe Null

cubs.
