any of the 1921 hurlers accomplish
ing the seemingly impossible task OF
pitching a world series no-hit game,
the highest ambition of them all.
Reulbach, pitching for the Cubs in
the Cub-White SoX series in 1906,
came the nearest to accomplishing
the impossible when in the second
game he let the Sox down with one
hit, a single by Donohue.
Four series pitchers have kept OPP
ponents to two hits; Walsh against
the Cubs in 1906. Brown against the
White Sox in the same series. Eddie
Plank against the Giants in 1913 and
James against the Athletics a year
later.
Sherrod Smith of Brooklyn and
Walter Mails of Cleveland allowed
only three hits apiece in the 1920
series.
Probably the worst exhibition of
world series pitching ever staged
was the sixth game of the Giant-Ath-
letic series in 1911. While CHIEF
Bender was pitching wonderful ball,
and holding the New York team TO
four hits, the Giant hurting squad
hivvered. Ames started 1t when he
made a wild throw to first with the
bases full. Wiltse and Marquard
were rushed out in quick succession,
but the damage was done. Philadel-
phia raped out IS hits for IT bases
and in six innings had piled up 10
| runs,

CONTESTS
At M|LLTOWN
Amboys and MicheIins En-
gage in Double Header on
Midtown Grounds Saturday

Two games will be played on the
Midtown grounds Saturday after
noon between the Michelin Tire
Company team and the Perth Am
boy representative baseball team.
The reason for the double bill, Man
ager Mullen announces, is the fact
that the Michelin team closes it's
season this week. One game, how
ever, is all that is necessary to decide
the Middlesex county championship
and should the visiting combination
cop this contest there will be no rea-
son for any real interest in the sec
Ond game. The first game Will start
at las o'clock.
With Harry App1egate pitching,
the Amboy team defeated the Mich
elm nine in the opening game of the
series by q score of SO. Wood and
Hornsby pitched for the Amboy team
in the second game of the series,
which ended in the eighth inning on
account of rain with the score ID.
Last Saturday afternoon the two
teams were scheduled to meet again
but rain prevented the playing of
the game.
Due to the fact that Harry Apple
gate, leading local hurler, will twirl
for the Pearls Of Elizabeth this Sun
day afternoon, Manager Mullen has
not decided on his pitching assign
ments for the four games over the
| Weekend, two on the local field
Sunday afternoon with the Local
Southern leaguers. Laurent and
Hornsby are the only pitchers avail
able at this time as Bill Flynn, who
t ,.irled last Sunday for Amboy, will
Ylay with the Southern leaguers this
Sunday afternoon.

In the first game Convey gave one
run, allowed five hits, struck out
three games and walked one. In the
third game he allowed n run, five
hits. famed four men and walked
one. In the seventh game he shut
out Brooklyn, allowed five hits,
struck out one man and walked

His record for the three games:
2 runs. is hits. s strikeouts and 2

And Coveleskie's record stands
high among the moderns.
What would happen were Matty
as he was In his heyday to face the
Bambino, the Meusels or the other
members of the homerun clan?
Mathewson has appeared in more
world series games than any other
pitcher. He has made IL starts, win
ming five of his games and dropping
four. Chief Bender of the old Mack
men had a better series record than
big Six" having won six and drop
ped four in 10 starts, while Jack
Coombs. also of the Athletics, took
part in six games. winning five and
dropping none, and thereby topping
all hurlers who have shown their
wares in the big mixup.

outfielders hopping all through the
summer precludes the possibility OF

SILVER JOINS
NEWARK PREP
Local Athlete Continues Stud
les at St. Benedict's- Out
for Athletics

A leading candidate for the back
stop position on the baseball team
representing ST. Benedict's Prep
School Of Newark next spring will
be James Silver, well known local
catcher. Likewise Silver will be a
candidate for the football, basket
ball and track representative teams
of the Newark school.
In Silver this city gives to the
Newark school one of her leading
all-around athletes, q fellow VINO Is
always on the spot working for the
good of his team. Silver proved his
ability as a backstop with represen-
tative teams of the Perth Amboy
High School during the past three
years. The Rector street athlete
| also performed with the Crimson
and White basketball team for two
| seasons. Inasmuch as the local high
| school has not had n track team or
football team during the last sew
eral years, Silver was not given a
chance to shoy his ability in these
branches of sport.
Silver graduated from the local
high school last June and enrolled
at the Newark school a short time
ago. During the month of August
he served with the Citizens army
at Plattsburg. Everyone acquainted
with this athlete can rest assured
that he will be successful in his eff
forts at the Newark institution.

ooh, for a Matty. a Bender, a
Coombs!"
It's a wall that fans around the
majors often repeated this season
when the fence-busting boys got
busy.
And with four teams OF heavy
artillerymen fighting it out for the
remnants and prospects sure for a
cloutfest world series, it sets n to
wondering what would happen were
the "old boys to step back.
There's big six" Mathewson, for
example. The greatest pitcher that
baseball ever knew, he was in his
zenith during the 1905 series between
Giants and Athletics.
Matty worked in three of the five
games-and won all his series by the
shutout route.
In the first game he allowed -four
hits, struck out six and passed none;
in the third game he allowed four
hits. struck out eight men ano
walked one; in the fifth game he al
lowed six hits, struck out four men
and passed none.
That's a total for three games of
no run. Is hits, IS strikeouts and
one pass.
