PERTH AMB0Ys PLACE ANOTHER GAME nv WI COL
Art Romer IS Hit Hard
And Staten Island E|ks
Bow To Aquehonga Nine

For the first time in his baseball
career of about twenty-five years,
Art Romer, T~ottenville, southpaw.
played his first game against a home
toWH team yesterday afternoon at
Aqnehonga field. The Aquehongas
scored an 81 victory over the Staten
Island Elks mainly through the sue
cess with which the Tottenville rep
resentatives hit Romer's offerings.
Fifteen safeties, including two
doubles, comprised the batting pro-
gram of the home players. 1t was
Romer's second bad day this season,
the Royal Colored Giants collecting
over twenty safeties from his deliv-
cry on A~quehonga field, Thursday
night.
Dunn TwirIs Well
Frank Dunn upon whom the fans
of Tottenville pin their hopes of a
second Aquehonga victory over the
Perth Amboys next Sunday, did the
twirling for the A~quehongas yester-
day. He had the Hello Bills at
his mercy except in the sixth inning
when some poor base running pre-
vented the visiting players from
scoring more than their only tally
of the contest.
A big asset to the former Collegian
southpaw, was the work of Lynch
who did the receiving in yesterdays
tilt. Lynch held up Dunn in great
style and the formers two hits aid
ed materially in the Aquehonga
scoring. Lynch recently caught
for the Amboy knights in Totem
Vile.
Aquehongas Scored In First
A base on balls, a sacrifice and
Pfeiffer's single gave the Aquehon-
gas a run in the first. Dunn's single,
Burke's sacrifice. A. Knots one base
blow. a double by Lynch and w.
Knott's safety tent three run across
in the fourth session and in the
sixth inning, a pass to A. Kuott,
Lunch's out and w. Knots single,
accounted for another tally.
The Aquehongas completed their
scoring in the seventh inning, when
hits by Lyons, Dunn, Pfeiffer, A.
Knott, Burke and Lynch accounted
for three runs The Elks only run
was made in the sixth inning. In

What You Are
Well, to drop metaphor, with Nc
Graw and his Giants, it isn't what
you were but what you are.
Thus it was that Arthur Fletcher
took his departure. in due season,
from the Polo Grounds, just as
many players had done before him.
Next we find him with the Phila-
delphia Nationals.
Unlike many men of his profess
sion, Fletcher neither sulked nor
loafed on the new team. He took
the change as a matter of course
ball player. And because he con-
tinued to play with the same snap
and dash with the tail-end Phillies
which had characterized him with
the Giants for a period of more than
ten years, he's still recognized as a
valuable major league asset, though
he's travelling on thin ice now. to the
extent of thirty-six years of age.
May be Manager
What's more, it is rumored in Ma
tional League circles today that he's
to become Philadelphia manager in
1923.

Fletcher's type is rapidly becom-
ing extinct in the major league cir
cult. A scholar of the McGraw
school, he believes in the choke-'em
tactics; never giving your opponent
an inch and winning the game in
front of you. He is using just such
tactics with the Phillies, trying to
win for them as he did for the
Giants, but of course the same quail
ity in the cast is got present.
Fletcher has not<reached the end
of his string. Far from it. He was
regarded SO highly by two major
league clubs during the past winter
that secret negotiations were alleged
to have been carried on, with
Fletcher receiving offers to turn
down the Phillies.
just Like Others
These cases attracted so much at
tention that the st. Louis and
Brooklyn clubs were called upon to
apologize to the owner of the Phil
lies and they escaped with a repri-
mand from President Heydler of
the National League.
Fletcher had to step aside for
youth just as did Matty. McGinnity,
Billy Gilbert. Dahlen, Devlin. Bres-
nahan, Donlin. Seymour. Bowerman.
Murray, Burns, Doyle. Herzog. Mer-
kle, Mertes, Marquard. Sallee, Chief
