BIC INTEREST
IN GIRLS GAME
Roosevelt and South Amboy
Teams Clash in PreIim.
Tomorrow Night

There is great interest being
shown in the girls game to be staged
as a preliminary attraction to the
Speedway-South Amboy Jr. o. U. A.
NJ. game on the Auditorium court
tomorrow night. The Roosevelt
Center girls and the crack South
Amboy Independents will be the
contestants in this game, one of the
most important contests to be play
ed by two girls teams this season.
The South Amboy team will take
the court with the Misses Forgotson,
Miller, Reddington. Toms and Ben
nett, practically the same team as
that which upheld the colors of
South Amboy among contenders for
the girls championship of the county
last season. Although this team has
not played before this season, the
players have been drilled in prepar-
alton for this game.
The Roosevelt Centers have par
ticipated in a number of contests or
the court this season, and on We'd
nesday night won a game by forfeit
from the strong Newark Bellies. This
contest, the Roosevelt representa-
tives claim, the Newark Bellies re-
fused to play, which resulted in the
referee FORGETTING to the Centers.
The game was scheduled to be play
ed on the st. Johns court, Newark.
There is great rivalry between the
Centers and the Wheeler Condenser
Girls, and it is likely that the latter
team will come out strong to root
for the opposition. The Wheelers
were recently defeated by the AM
boy Stars on the Auditorium court.
The Roosevelt-South Amboy game
will start promptly at s O'Clock.

BY BILLY EVANS

"Stuffy" McInnis. the brilliant first
baseman of the Boston Red Sox,
made a most remarkable record last
season.
Usually, when a player performs
some unheard of feat it is heralded
all over the states in big headlines.
In many way the record of Nc
Innis was one of the most extraordi-
nary feats ever performed in the ma
jor leagues, yet it has been given
only slight consideration.
Playing through the entire season,
McInnis made only n error Con-
slider all the play that centers around
first base. Recall the many diff
cult throws the first sacker has to
handle. Don't forget the many plays
the first baseman must make on
ground balls.
Think owe all those things and
then remember that during the en-
tire season McInnis made only one
error, and you will have a fairly
good idea of the magnitude of STUFF
fy's' performance.
1t was the irony of fate that Nc
Innis should have made his only err
ror in the city in which he made his
start. Philadelphia. 1t was also a
tough break that caused the official
scorer to record the play as an err
.ror. 1t was really a play that in
volved merely the judgment of the
scorer. Generous scoring would
have made 1t IN easy matter to have
entirely overlooked the play.
Play Was Unusual
Here is the play that was the only
blot on "Stuffy's" great record. Read
it over and form your w opinion.
No doubt you will express a regret
that the scorer decided to give Nc
Innis an error.
The scene was Philadelphia and
the date May 80, 1921. The error
was recorded or a thrown ball.
Perth Amboy evening news., 1921-12-02

Jimmy Dykes was on first base, no
body out and the score close. McIn-
mis- figured the batter going to
bunt, and went in an the pitch to
make a play at second If possible.
The batter missed the ball. Jimmy
Dykes, who had taken a big lead,
seemed to be a sur out either at
first or second. The moment the
batter missed, "Stuffy' ran back to
first, watching Catcher Walters all
the time. A perfect throw, properly
handled by him, would have gotten
Dykes a couple OF yards. Walters
started his throw and then hesitated
slightly.
Dykes Was Trapped
This rather threw McInnis off his
stride and he slipped slightly as he
neared the bag. When Walters final
ly threw the ball, he floated it down
to first. rather than with his usual
speed. A. trife off his balance. Nc
Innis was forced to stretch for the
ball and was unable to hold it. That
enabled Dykes to get back to first
in safety.
1t seems the official scorer was
of the opinion that Dykes was so far
off the base when the throw was
starred. Indt ne NOulu nave UeeH an
easy out, had the ball been perfect
ly handled. He failed to take into
consideration that Walters had once
made a false start and that McInnis
was off his balance when he received
the ball.
1t is a cinch the scorer would have
overlooked the play entirely had he
known it was to be the only thing
that anproacha1 a miSDl3y on the
part of McInnis all year.
To me no record has eve been
made in baseball that is more note
worthy than McInnis' stunt of
playing an entire season at first base
with only one error. And that was
a questionable one
