Art Young, local southpaw, pitch

Baseball's Prize
Bonehead Plays

Can you imagine a batter hitting
a terrific drive into the stands for a
home run and then being called out
for passing a preceding runner on
the base lines?
No! Well, that actually happened
several years ago in a game between
Chicago and Washington at Chica-
go.
Catcher Eddie Charity of the
Washington club was the player
who hit the ball. Frank Ellerbe,
then with Washington, now with
the st. Louis Browns, pulled the
bit of ivory on the bases, which hid
Charity as the victim.
Two were out and Ellerbe on first
with Charity up. The Washington
catcher, who hits them hard, got
one to his liking, and sent it sailing
into the left field bleachers.
AS is customary when some
player hits a mighty wallop good
for a home run, the crowd let out a
cheer when Gharrity's drive scared
into the bleachers.
Ellerbe. off with the pitch, had
rounded third when he got the i'm
preston that the ball had been
caught because of the cheering on
the part of the crowd.
Taking it for granted that the
side had been retired, after he
roundeG third he started for his
position in the infield. He was play
ing short in that particular game.
1t so happened that Ellerbe, on his
way back to short. vas passed by
Charity.
The umpire in charge Immediate
ly called Charity out for passing
a preceding base runner.
The Washington club yelled long
and loud, insisting such a decision
was not in keeping with fair play,
since the ball had passed out of the
playing field and no play possible
on the runners.
The umpires remained firm, how
ever, and the play on the part OF
Ellerbe must be given a rating In
the list of famous bones"

inning of the game between the
Perth Amboy Police Social Club and
the Elizabeth Police nine at Won
derland Park, Saturday afternoon

run which made the score Sd. The
hit was good for at least three bases
and Molly who was also on base,
could have scored if another run
had baen needed.
Molly, the Social Clubs star hurl-
err. pitched his usual brand of ball.
He held the hard hitting Union
county sluggers to four safeties, n
in the second and three in the fifth.
The local pitcher struck out eight
men,, walked one and hit M bat
ter. For the visitors Mega handled
the pitching assignment. His offer
ings were pasted for ten safeties and
he issued three passes. Six Amboy
batters whitfield the breeze.
The Elizabeth team is n of the
leading organizations in the state po-
lice league. Zanzalari and Molly
were the batting stars o the home
team in Saturdays game, the former
collecting three. hits while h pitch
er made four safetieS in as many
trips to the plate.
Amboy scored two runs in the
first, Elizabeth went into the lead by
scoring three runs in the fifth. but

the batting hero for the visitors.
The game yesterday, the first of
a series between the two teams,
was attended by over 1900 people.
1t was an interesting contest up to
the seventh.
On Thursday night Joe Jackson's
All Stars are scheduled to oppose
the Aquehongas on the T~ottenvilie
field, and the Harrison Hudsons are
scheduled for Sunday afternoon.
The Amboys will have the Bloom
field representative team, recent
conquerors of the Aquehongas, as
their opponents here next Sunday
afternoon. and it is probable that a
twilight game will be played this
week.
The Amboy team is in need of
four players at least, including a
pitcher and three infielders, and
the sooner these men are secured
the success of the local outfit will
be decided. The tryout season
should be over by this time.
