PURITANS LOSE Big GAME
BY DEFAULT LAST NIGHT

Although the Puritans defeated
the Ditmas Juniors last night IN the
elimination series now being played
by the Rotary-Playgrounds Junior
Baseball League to the tune of Z to
6, the game has been given to the
Ditmas Juniors because the Puritans
failed to come within the REQUIRE
ments of the league. This means
that the final game to decide the city
championship will be played be-
tween the Ditmas Juniors and the
Robins on the Copper Works field
next Monday night.
Arthur (Doc) Emmons, director
of Fairgrounds and under whose
supervision the games were played,
declared today that the Puritans
yesterday failed to place the same
lineup in the field that they had,
given him when the series opened,
and which, according to the rules of
the league was to be used through.
out the series. The Puritan team, he
said, also had three players who are
over age and these two facts made
them lose the game by default.

BALL GAME FEATURES
ROTARY CLUB OUTING

A baseball game, that as far as
amusement went, probably had some
of the big league backed OF
the boards, was one of the
yesterday afternoon st the outing
and clambake of the Perth Amboy
Rotary Club, held at Soldiers Beach.
Cliffwood. The club members as
sembled at the New Packer House
at noon and left about 1915 O'Clock
in automobiles for the beach. The
arrival there was made about lis
and as the clambake was not quite
ready, it was suggested that tho time
BIS spent in playing a baseball game.
The minute the captains were
chosen it was a sure thing that the
game would be something out of the
ordinary. They were Andrew
Wight and Clancy D. Boynton. After
the teams had been selected. they
marched bravely out into the boil
ing hot sun and the game began.
Great beads of perspiration stood u
on the faces and heads of the play
ers. but they stuck to the game and
played several innings. Many runs
were made on both sides, but at the
end of the game, it was declared
they were all out of order and the
final score was declared a tie.
Aylin Pierson proved himself to
be the Babe Ruth of the game when
he knocked a home run the ball
going into the duck pond. This
swat by Pierson resulted in bring
ing in several runs.
The pitching of Doc FIthian ard a
slide to first base by Arthur Stern
were the features of the game that
will not soon be forgotten. For a
time it looked as if Commissioner
of Baseball X. NJ. Lands would have
to be called upon. when Ira Grouse
and the umpire got into an argu-
ment in the tirst inning. However.
the matter was Strengthened up when
Grouse was dismissed from the
game and Guy Weaver substituted
IN his place. Mr.. Weaver acted like
a gentleman and no more trouble
resulted. Although the game was
greatly enjoyed all welcomed the
ringing of the gong which summon
cd them to the feed.
During the clambake. President
Pierson tried to conduct some bush
ness, but the members refused to
listen and after several ate mpts he
save it up as a bad job.
Eddie Mccormick attended the
affair in a palm beach salt and ap-
peared $50 stunning that he Wa
voted tho haresomest man present.
