I'm Scoring Second Win
over Landing Combine

Four runs in the last half of the
eighth inning in the game between
the Perth Amboy Athletic Associa-
ton nine and the Landings of New
Brunswick on the Raritan Copper
Works field yesterday afternoon, de-
cided the contest in favor of Amboy
Al, and eliminated the New Bruins
wick representatives from any claim
to Middlesex county diamond hon
Crs.
Mickey 500 was on the mound for
the Amboys and was southpawing
them across in great style. The
Landings made their only run of the
contest in the third round as a re-
suit of two passes. a sacrifice hit
sandwiched in and a long single to
right. Throughout the game the
Keasbey pitcher was striking the OPP
posing batters down one after the
other and in all seventeen batters
whitfield the breeze, somewhat of a
record around these parts.
-Four hits were collected from the
delivery of 500, or two of which
were of the soratchy variety In the
first and fifth innings the Landings
were retired on strikes and in every
stanza except the ninth at least one
strikeout was registered. 500 is
sued three passes.
Opposed to $500, was Stuart, one
of the regular Landing twirlers.
Although the home players bit him
quite hard throughout, they were
not successful in punching their
safeties for runs until the eventful
eighth. Poor base running also
aided Staurt materially prior to the
rally.
