F factory LEAGUE
ACTION TAKEN
Steps Taken Last Night to
Have City's Industries Join
in Permanent Organization

The cornerstone of the foundation
for a permanent industrial athletic
organization in this city was laid last
night when the representatives OF
several of the local factories met mt
the Y. NJ. c. A. and decided upon in
ter-plant competition along various
lines OF sports. 1t was decided to
arrange no schedule OF events at
present, but to book all contests
through Physical Director Schuyler
c. Pew. of the Y. M. C. A., who has
been instrumental in starting the or
ganization.
The idea of the plants issuing theh'
challenges to Director Pew and al
lowing him to arrange the dates was
acceptable to all. The Y. NJ. c. A.
will be used whenever available for
these contests although the intention
is TO play as many outdoor games as
possible.
1t was decided not to select any
particular sport and feature 1t, but
rather TO promote any sport which
plant employees might be interested
in and willing to play.
The various representatives gave
an outline of the sports which the
employees of their plant would be in
terested in and willing to compete
in. Baseball. bowling, basketball
and tug-of-ware seemed to be the
most popular of the sports, but con-
siderable interest was manifested In
the mass games outlined by Director
Pew which would permit of a large
number of men participating, such
as cage ball." in which as many as
200 players comprise a side. 1t was
generally decided to innovate this
game in Perth Amboy. the popular
belief being that it would take big"
with the industries.
The importance of keeping up the
interest of the industrial workers
through athletics was pointed out,
and the suggestion TO have some
kind of sport going continually the
year around was a popular one.
