Polo Grounds Breeds FIuke Home
Runs
However it is possible to get more
fiuke home runs at the Polo grounds
than on any other major league
park / have ever worked.
Right here I want to say In be-
half of Babe" Ruth that he has
profited only slightly as a result of
such a condition. have it on the
very best of authority; that only
three home runs made by him at
the Polo grounds this year have
BEEN of a fiuky nature. That is
balls that just cleared the stand
at the shortest point in right field
hits that would have been outs on
the ordinary ball park.
These unusual conditions at the
Polo grounds very often result in a
game being decided other than on
its merits. AS a matter of fact a
rour-run lead is nothing to brag of
at the Polo grounds. have seen
such leads wiped out almost in a
twinkling of the eye by couple of
passes, an error, and then high
fly to right or left, which barely
cleared the stands, while the fielder
stood watching the course of the
ball, in a position to make an easy
catch, had he the room.
During the last few years l have
seen some of the most peculiar
home runs possible made at the Polo
grounds. Jack Quinn one day beat
Stanley Coveleskie, simply having
his bat where "Covey" happened to
pitch ball. Quinn started to swing
at. very deceptive spitball. which
broke rather low. He tried to stop
his swing at the halfway mark be-
lieving the ball would be low. I'm
able to do so, his extended bat came
into contact with the ball, a low
dropping liner that just cleared the
right field stand being the result.
That hit broke up the ball game.
once saw Ping Bodie drop to
the ground to avoid a wildly pitched
ball only to have his bat which was
extended high in the air, come into
contact with the ball and a lazy
high fly which just fell into the low
er stand was the result.
Back in 1911 I saw Frank Baker
crash a low liner into the right field
stands at the Polo grounds and tie
up a world series game with the
Giants. The hit came in the ninth
inning. The Athletics had been

of Representative Men for
Friday Night, Oct. IA

RELIEF IS EXPECTED

As a means of alleviating the un-
employment condition now existing
iI Perth Amboy, plans are now be-
ing made by Mayor William e. Will
son for a conference to be held in
city hall Friday night. Oct. IA. at 8
o'clock. Invitations to attend this
.oeeting will be sent to representa-
!, tives of local industries. wholesale
hand retail merchants, building
5lrades and material men. The idea
Is to discuss the serious existing
condition in an effort to form some
plan whereby the unemployed can
be given work and also by which
the cost of living essentials might be
lowered.
Cooperating with the mayor in
his efforts to assist the unemployed
Is Secretary Oliver r. Hatfield Of
the Perth Amboy Industrial Asso-
eaation who received yesterday a
telegram from the president of the
National Association of Manufac-
turers quoting the request of Sec
retary of Commerce Herbert Hoo
yer that every city take steps to
/. remedy the unemployment condi-
hon.
The telegram to Mr.. Hatfield reads
as follows:
October 8. 1921.
"At the request of Secretary
Hoover, all organizations affiliated
with the National Industrial Council
are strongly urged to take active
steps to see that their respective cit
les are Immediately organized and
the recommendations of unemploy-
ment conference be at o..ce put into
effect. Suggests support of public
works, proposals and recommend
your manufacturers. wholesalers and
retailers readjust prices to induce
buying resumption. Emphasize sug-
gested division if possible of avail
able jobs. part time rotation meth
ods in both public and private work.
Persuade local authorities to form
representative community emergen-
cy committee. Spare no effort to re-
vive construction industry by every
means reducing building cost to stim-
ulate building. Urge your manufac-
turers If possible to manufacture for
stock or do plant repairs at once. Do
constructive work in cooperation
with government.
JOHN E. EDGERTON,
"Pres. Natl. Assn. of Mfgrs."
Mayor Wilson this morning was
working on a list of representative
men to whom he will address let
ters urging them to attend this i'm
portant conference. Included in
the list of those to whom letters
will be sent will be industrial heads.
wholesale and retail dealers in
clothing. furniture. groceries. meat
milk and coal. building tradesmen.
Material men, members of the
Board of Aldermen.
sPerfh Amhov thuS far has haaD
much more fortunate than other
cities" Mayor Wilson said. "but
with the coming cold weather the
unemployed who hitherto have
managed to get enough to eat and
wear and if needs be. sleep out of
doors, will be up against a stiff
proposition. Something must be
done to alleviate these conditions.

held scoreless by the great Mathew
son up to that time. 1t was a ter
rife hit, but would have hardly been
more than two bagger on any park
other than the Polo grounds. The
Giants were later defeated in ex-
ira innings.
Grounds Games
1t is possible to say that neither
team will get any the worst of it.
since all the games are to be played
at the Polo grounds. That is all
very true, yet it is far from pleas
ing to have some tall fly, that on
the ordinary grounds would be an
easy out, turned into a Polo grounds
home run. That happens time and
time again during the summer.
I am OF the opinion that the
Yankees have a slight advantage in
that all the games are to be played
on the Polo grounds. Any man in
the New York American lineup is Ii
able to get a home run because all
of them take a free swing. The
Giants have a number of sluggers,
but I am sure the advantage on this
score will be decidedly in favor of
the Yankees.
The short confines of the stands
in right and left field goes directly
back at the pitching. When work
ing at the Polo grounds, pitcher
can never for a minute get careless
with men on and groove" ball. H"
is always working under restraint.
1t is simply murder" to pitch in
side to Ruth or Meusel.
1t Is my hope that if a home run
plays a part in the result of any
game, that it is legitimate homer
not some of the excuses l have
seen registered at the Polo grounds.
