Two baseball mines made up of
members of the Marion | will

grounds Sunday morning at 3

winner will be treated to a shore
dinner at the expense of the losing
team.
The Yannigans lineup will be
chosen from the following players:

Dan Gallagher. p; Jimmy Gray, p;
Butch" Nation, p; Ed McKenna.
3b; "Pick" Mullen. 2b; Gene Bird,

z GAMES HERE
NEXT SUNDAY
Saints and MataWan in 1st--
Winner Plays Amboys--
Postponed Last Sunday

Rain prevented the st. Anthony
Matawan game or the Raritan Cop
per Works field last Sunday after
noon, the winning of which was to
play the Perth Amboy representative
nine in the second game of the
double header. The Saints and Mata-
vans have been re-booked for this
Sunday afternoon. and the winner
of the game will play Manager Null
lens team in the second game of the
afternoon.
There was a big turnout last Sum
day to see the two teams in action,
inasmuch as the contest was the de-
Gliding game of a series, and because
the followers of the respective teams
desired to see their favorites in ac-
ton against M of the strongest
teams in this section. Jeroff was on
the mound for the Saints last Sun
day. and succeeded in holding his
opponents away from the plate for
three innings. Haverman opposed
him, and held the Saints scoreless
for two innings. Jeroff will prob
ably be the choice of the home team
for mound service in Sundays game
while Haverman or Slocum will carry
the pitching burden for the Mata-
wan team.
1t is possible that there will be
changes in the lineup of both teams
in this game. Both the Matawan
nine and the st. Anthony's are desir-
Gus of getting a crack at the AM
boy combine. and this may be their
only chance. Young will pitch for
the Saints in the second contest, II
Matawan loses the first. while Haver-
man or Slocum will hurl for the
Monmouth county team. Milcnicl
will be Amboy's choice.

Sport Comment
IN All Fields

Catchers succeed as managers be-
cause they know the game better
than any other member of the team.
Every play pivots about a catcher.
He is more than a receiver and a
guardian of the base where runs are
scored. He runs the team.
Half of the big league managers
today have been backstops in their
day. Bill Killifer, newly appointed
skipper of the Cubs. makes the
eighth.
Other managers who have run
their teams from behind the bat are
Fred Mitchell of the Braves, Branch
Hickey OF the Cards, George Gibson
of the Pirates, Wilbert Robinson of
the Dodgers, Pat Moran of the Reds.
Connie Mack of the Athletics and
Lee Fohl of the Browns.
All but Mack, Fohl and Hickey
have won p%ennants. Killifer hasn't
had a chance yet.
Standpatters
Harvard will not change its foot
ball system this fall.
The old reliable style which has
brought honor to Cambridge is good
enough for them.

opposing teams.
These special departures did not
meet always with uccess
Harvard has always had weight,
g~eneralship and good coaching. and
methods that are traditional.
Habit
These two things are hard to har-
monte:
Ty Cobb is badly handicapped by
a partial cataract over his right eye.
Ty Cobb is r%unner-up for batting
honors in the American League.
1t is true hat Cobb's eye is af-
fected. The growth IS getting worse.
But he keeps right on cracking the
apple.
Ty would still be a slugger if he
only had n eye. He hits from force
of habit.
Good shooting eyes never go back
much.
r. P. Heikes, winner of the first
Grand American Handicap t%rapshoot
in 1900, is still a contender in big
shoots. He'll be in the blue ribbon
classic at Chicago the week of Aug
ust 22.
Heikes won the Grand American
with a score of 81 at 20 yards.
Voolfolk of Dayton, o., was the
only other man to win the big shoot
at this distance. He broke So targets
for high score in 1914.
Shooting is a knack, especially
with a shotgun at the traps.
Once you get it you keep it. But
the handicap in distances has so far
kept any champion from repeating.
Bitterness
Benny Leonard and Lew Tender
are farther apart today than they
eve were.
The old feeling of bitterness has
been revived and intensified since
the breakoff of the match.
Tenders supporters freely say
that Leonard found he could not do
1875 pounds and be strong enough for
the Philadelphia and purposely
sprained his thumb.
Leonard has nothing to say but
hat the accident was a lucky thing
for Tender.
If this fight ever does pop. it is
going to be good.

PIONEERS PLAY
CLOVER NINE
Light Senior Opponents Clash
on Lumber Field Grounds
Sunday Afternoon

The Pioneer and Glover baseball
teams, two local light senior organ
izations, will clash on the Lumber
field diamond Sunday afternoon.
Both of these teams have made good
records so far this year, and an in
teresting game is expected. Thi. con-
test will in all probability have some
thing to do with the deciding of the
light senior champions of this city,
as these two teams are leaders In
this class.
The Clover team has met many o.
the leading teams in this city n
vicinity, although the combination
has been organized only n season.
The Pioneers have made a good rec
>ord on the diamond this season.
Manager Bonalsky's team has been
organized for several seasons.
Oldenboom and II. Low will be in
the points for the Clovers team in
this contest, while Thorvie Olsen
and Let's will make up the battery
Of the Pioneer combination. Olden-
boom is a southpaw, and Olsen a
highlander. This game will start
promptly at 3 o'clock. and a big
crowd is expected to turn out.
There have been a number of
games played already this season be-
tween teams, contenders for the
light senior championship, and 1t is
possible that some OF these teams
will challenge the winner of sun
days game.

T|REMEN AFTER
COUNTY H0NORS
Having Hold on Industrial
Championship, Will Endeav-
or to Gain Semi-pro Title

The Michelin Tire Company nine
of Milltown, leading c~ontenders for
the Middlesex county industrial
championship as a result of their
victories over the Dupont Powder
Works team of Parlin and the
Roessler &c Hasslacher company team
of this city, will endeavor to get a
hold on the semi-pro championship
of this county, when they cross bats
with the Perth Amboy baseball club
on the Midtown grounds Saturday
afternoon. This contest is the first
of a series, between the Amboys and
the Michelins, to be staged on the
Midtown grounds.
The present holder of the county
industrial honors. the Raritan Cop
per works nine of this city. is not
considered as strong this year as in
former seasons, and inasmuch as
Manager Poulsen's team dropped a
contest to the Roessler & Hasslach-
er team, the Ingots might be con-
sidered out IF the running. How
ever, after the completion Of the
Amboy series, it is possible that the
Ingots and Michelin will engage In
their annual tussle.
Manager Mullen of the Amboys
will probobly use his best pitching
bet, Chunk" Applegate, against the
tiretown outfit in Saturdays game,
in an effort to get the jump in the
series. Tho remainder of the team
will be the same as represents this
city on the diamond in Sunday
games. Romer, Mazurek. Fullerton
and Larson played with the r. & H.
team in Midtown last Saturday, and
James performed with the former
powder workers against the Mill
town team.

Interest in an Interstate bowl

Barney Christensen, of T~ottenville,

be interested in starting such an

According to plans. a team from
Pleasant Plains, s. l., one or two
from Tottenville, one from South

each team desiring to enter the
league could be asked to attend.
There is a great deal of interest in
bowling. in the localities around
which the circuit would be formed,
and there is nc reason for expecting
failure. On Staten Island every year
a successful bowling league is run.
and in this vicinity in past seasons
leagues proved successful.
1t is believed that if a number of
leaders in bowling circles in this
vicinity would get together at this
time and interest bowlers in other
towns, all arrangements for a league
could be completed by the time the
bowling aso is here.
