The Raritan Copper Works repre-

county industrial honors, brought
their season to a close on Monday
night with a banquet at the Hotel
Madison and a theatre party. Their
regular diamond season closed on
September 20 with a victory over
the Dupont Powder workers, and
the Ingots were acclaimed the coun-
ty champions when the Michelin
nine refused to play the deciding
game. The team won twelve games
and lost five. and this record COM
pares favorably with any ever set up
by a representative Copper Works
team.

TWO SETS OF BROTHERS
PLAYING ON RUTGERS TEAM

NEW Observation-Disclosures has
two sets of brothers playing or its
football team and the father of two
otthe boys was a member of a Scar
let eleven before them.
Mortimore and Herbert Redmond.
Of Brooklyn, are regular varsity play
ers and will both graduate this year.
The former is taking good care Of
the fullback position, having won his
letter for the first time last season.
This year he has developed into an
excellent punter and drop kicker.
Herbert became a varsity player in
1918, and since then has always been
one of the regular wings. In the
event of injury to Captain Gardner
he becomes the teams leader.
John Scudder has been used as
both a tackle and a guard. He en-
tered college last year and prompt
ly made the team. His brother,
Dana, is in college for the first time
this season, and while playing with
Rutgers Prep last year. he was pick
ed as tackle on one Of the mythical
All-New Jersey State elevens. While
he is not a first string player with the
present Scarlet squad, he has been
used at tackle in several games.
These boys are sons of Walter Scud-
~ /, who played football at Rutgers
rthe early nineties and who is now
. missionary in India, where his fam
has been carrying on the work for
early a century.

when necessary. Although Apple
gate is far from being through with
the game of his life, he is of the
belief that both Hornsby and 500
have a chance to go higher in base
ball.
Marty j. Hurley, who started as
manager of the team, led the Ingot
outfit to six victories and three de-
feats during his reign in office. After
the team met defeat in two straight
contests he turned the position over
to Applegate. who was then captain
of the team. This move was made
by Hurley so as to give a winning
Saturday team to the fans, and al
though Apply" is loved by local
fans, the move was regretted.
Baron Levi. NJ. A. Harrigan and
Ray Mundy. president. treasurer
and secretary of the athletic asso-
citation. and all the members of the
association also deserve a great deal
of credit for their work.
Mike 500 and Austin Hornsby,
who divided the majority of the
pitching and at other times worked
in the outfeld, also aided materially
in the big victory Of the Ingots.
Tommy VanGilder and Leo Segar,
the catchers of the county cham
pfons, worked their pitchers in a
noticeable manner. and aided the
team with the stick. Tom Gargan,
a college player, was the big find
of the season, and his appearance
on the team was mainly responsible
for one Of the most successful years.

REGAIN BOOKS FAST NEGRO
TEAM FOR GAME SUNDAY

Manager Edward Regan, of the
Perth Amboy Baseball Club, has
cancelled the engagement with the
All Star nine of New Brunswick TO
be played at the Raritan Copper
Works field Sunday afternoon. be-
cause of the county sea- team not
having a strong club. The Amboy
manager has booked the Philadel-
phia Colored Giants. a better draw
ing attraction and a better playing
team. Sundays game will get under
way at $3.50 o'clock.
Inasmuch as this colored team is
about as strong as the Pennsylvania
Red Caps, it is likely that Manager
Regain will be forced to strengthen
his team somewhat for the game.
Regain eodeavored to secure the
Penn Red Caps before the Giants,
but the colored team defeated by
Mullen's nine earlier in the season
has already closed its season.
