AN ENCLOSED
BASEBALL FIELD HERE

A communication which is published
herewith, was received from a base
ball fan in this city who speaks in
favor of enclosing a diamond where
the representative Perth Amboy base
ball team can play their games for
the coming season. The letter follows:
Sporting Editor:
y" Dear Sir
''Today's brilliant sunshine and the
reports from Florida and Texas remind
us hat 1t is nearly time to dust off
the old mitt n take the faithful
hickory from it's winter resting place.
Very few towns of its size can boast
of a superior team to h one which
Joe Mullen put on the field last year
and the best of 1t all they are all
genuine locals making their living
here. There are no importations In
the bunch. The prospects for this
year are equally bright. But 1t takes
money to u a decent baseball team
and without support 1t is too much
to expect good sports like Mr.. Mullen
and others to dig in their pockets for
the enjoyment of hundreds of others.
The writer was present at many games
last year and was very much sur
prised at the smallness of the collec-
tions which were made to defray ex-
penses. Now what Is the solution?
An enclosed playing field. The Copper
Works field would be a splendid sport
ing center If there was a fence round
1t. The management of that company
have always shown the keenest sup
port to all sports and their Athletic
Association is one of the livliest In the
state. The merchants of this city are
putting forward herculean efforts to
boost Perth Amboy, we'll, one OF the
greatest advertisements o town can
have Is a first class baseball team.
Your columns have always pointed
out the necessity for a suitable play
ing field. We nave the manager.
we have the players the Raritan Cop
per Works have q first class diamond,
now oil we want Is a fence round 1t.
As I said before It Is asking too much
to expect a few live wires to bear
all the expense. l feel sure If a COM
mittee of representative and progress
sive citizens would call on Mr.. Clarke.
who has always evinced the greatest
interest in anything which was for the
boosting Of Perth Amboy. ways and
means could be devised for immedi-
ately enclosing the Copper Works field
and by so doing help to put a team
Of our own boys on the diamond
which would be only a step removed
from the big leagues.
Very truly yours,
A FAN"

SUGGESTS FORMING OF
COUNTY BASEBALL LEAGUE

The following communication was
received from a baseball fan VINO Is
interested in q county amateur pase-
ball league. A number of the recon-
mendations which are made In the
letter would no doubt be of great help
In boosting the game of baseball. b
letter follows:
Sporting Editor:
Do you not think the time is now
ripe for the organization of a strictly
amateur baseball league representing
the principal towns in MiddleseX
who have made good In adjoining
counties who would be only too glad
TO play on their home teams II put
given the chance and this proposed
league would tend to develop many
other players who never get a. chance.
What better circuit would one want
than Perth Amboy, New Brunswick,
Midtown, South River, South Amboy,
Sayreville, Jamesburg and Heimetta.
Ali are convenient to reach IN less
than one hour by auto and no doupt
much of the Did time rivalry would
be developed, and as in the past II
the league was conducted along busl-
ness lines a neat balance mouio 'e
found at the end of the season.
Look al Trenton. Almost a bali
taam on every spare lot. Perth Am
nov is not far behind. This affords
pleasure to the young men and pene-
Ats the industries. In direct CONTRAST
Is New Brunswick and South river
They are the cheapest towns in Mid
diesex county and speaks but little
for the business men who fall to see
the advantages gained by a repre-,
sentative ball team in their town ana
should be the chief beneficiaries by
such g. league.
Several of the towns would pay big
with Sunday games n with Satur.
day afternoons filled in the greatest
interest should be aroused.
AS a lover of sports would you not
try to interest the leaders in such a
project and call a meeting at an early
date to settle for all time whether
Middlesex county is ready to go PACK
to pre-war times when interest was

Move NOW On Foot To Promote
Baseball Factory League Here

John Bergen, secretary OF the
Perth Amboy Factory Baseball League
will shortly communicate with the
different factories in this city relative
to their attending the annual meeting
Of the league the early part of April
The attendance at these meetings
usually decides whether the city will
have a factory league during the sum-
mer. The Raritan Copper Works
the American Smelling and Refining
Company, the United Lead Works and
cal company should surely ave rep
r~esentative mines on the diamond this
year, as all four have a great deal of
material to pick from. II would also
be possible to choose at least two
other good factory teams. A factory
league containing six teams would be
a big boost for baseball in this city.
II a city factory league annot be
organized, 1t Is hoped that the differ
emit strong representative factory
teams in the county would get to-
gether and form a county factory
league.
Fire Companies to Have Teams.
A number of fire companies in this
city are planning on organizing dla-
mond teams for the coming season.
A league OF teams from the different
fire companies IN this city would
greatly interest baseball fans in this
section as did the games on Sunday
mornings last year. 1t Is hoped that
the seven companies in this city viii
organize teams. so that a fire depart
ment league can be formed.
Many Teams Being Formed.
Baseball teams In this section are
fast organizing for the coming sea-
son. A great many Junior and light
seniaor teams have already announc-
ed their organization, and 1t Is posi-
BILE that some teams will open their
season as early as April 1, II the
weather permits. The famous out
door sport is sure to enjoy one of its
best seasons this year. as the dia-
mond game Is steadily gaining greater
favor throughout the country.
Move to Organize Semi-Pros.
A movement to organize a. Fedora
ton OF semi-professional. Industrial.
commercial and amateur baseball
teams and leagues In the eastern sec
ton of the United States will be
launched at a conference of managers
OF teams and presidents of various
leagues, which will be held at the
Hotel Manhattan, New York city, on
Friday afternoon and evening, March
! 20.
Arrangements for the meeting are
being made by William II. Pfau. pres
ident of the New York marlborough

who was later secretary of the New
York and New Jersey and Atlantic
Professional Leagues. Baseball pro-
motors In cities as far west as Harris

GUS landlords are preparing to receive

Supreme Court ruling on the Texas

For many years dominoes have

Hoyle did 1t, the devotees have pat

But the problem of finding a sub
stitute for pool is more difficult. Thus
far no one has been brave enough to
suggest marbles. A few halls are said
to De negotiating to install bowling

probable duration of the anti-billiards
