GOOD GAMES ARE

Unusual Number of Close and
Extra Inning Attractions in

Unusual interest in baseball is
being caused by the many close and
extra inning games that are taking
place around this vicinity. Scores
of 80, al, or "a in either nine,
ten, or eleven innings are quite
common, and despite the pheno-
menal year OF smuggling in the big
leagues the local pitchers seem to
be able to hold opposing sluggers to
two, three, or four hits in many OF
the battles.
Crowds this rear are larger and
more enthusiastic than heretofore,
with many Of the smaller games not
lacking in this respect. The Copper
Works Field with it's stand and fence
is 10Y assuming the shape Of a pro-
fessional ball park and many are
taking advantage of the interesting
games that are taking place there
every week end. Should the Perth
Amboy team be victorious in their
battle with the Roosevelt F. c. there
this Sunday It may become the home
grounds OF the county champions.

Although there have been COM
paratively few Perth Amboyans
who have been fortunate enough to
see the actual races at Sandy Hook
between the Resolute, defending
the Americas cup, and the Sham
rock ", Sir Thomas Lipton's chal-
lenger. interest in the outcome Of
these contests has been at fever
heat in and about this city. Daily
the EVENING NEWS has been
swamped with telephone calls with
requests for Information as to how
the races are proceeding. Hundreds
and more likely thousands-of
queries have been answered.
Some of the questions asked by
inquirers who know but little about
yachting and nautical terms have
been unusually amusing and more
than repaid those who have been
busy giving out the race informa-
ton. One question came across the
wire: rs a sheet on a boat a piece
of canvas or a roper" When we
told the inquirer II was a rope he
seemed peeved. He said that a lit
tie bet was on and it was W to the

he lost out.

been arranged by Manager Charles
Doessereck, Of the Auditorium Sport
Club for next Tuesday night.

SHAMROCK ASKS

Lipton's Yacht Hauled Out
Today Next Race Tomor-
row; ResoIute's Allowance

Although the Shamrock Nv, Sir
Thomas Lipton's challenger, crossed
the finish line in yesterdays in
ternational yacht race off Sandy
Hook nineteen seconds ahead of the
defender, Resolute, the defender was
nineteen seconds late in getting over
the starting line at the beginning
of the race making the race a dead
heat" as far as the two yachts
elapsed time was concerned. The
shamrock, however, had to allow
the Resolute more than seven min
utes, owing to the difference in size
and sail area, and this gave the de-
fender the race-her first race out
of three starts-by a good sized mar
gin.
When the Shamrock goes to the
line tomorrow she will have to allow
the Resolute only s minutes and 40
seconds, according to present esti-
mates, because OF her intention to
use a smaller topsail in the TRAN
gular race.
The race yesterday was the first
one in which the yachts have had
any kind of a suitable sailing breeze
and with the wind blowing at twelve
knots they made excellent time, both
sloops having their leerails awash.
