The first game of the series be-
tween the Perth Amboy Dry Dock
combination and the National Pneu-
matte nine of Railway, which was
to have been played on the latter's
grounds last night, was postponed
or account of rain.
The managers of the respective

Railway in the near future, and the
second confess of this five game
series will be played on a local field.
These two teams are the winners of
twilight baseball leagues in their re-
spective towns.
Railway is represented by a strong
aggregation, consisting of four
members of the strong italian Am

county tossers. The recent victory
over the Somerville A. A. has con-
WINGED the Dry Dock players that
they should be able to hold their

Newark Professionals
To Play Here Sunday,
Amboy-R Red Bank Friday
The Newark Professional baseball

The Newark Professional baseball
team of Lew Bender will furnish
the opposition to the Perth Amboy
Athletic Association nine on the
Raritan Copper Works field Sunday
afternoon, Business Manager Ed
Poulsen of the local organization an
nounced this morning.
The Professionals are conceded to
be n of the leading semi-pro or
CARNATIONS. in the Eastern district
this season, and Manager Bender is
confident that the Amboys will not
continue the foundation for a win
ming streak at the expense Of his
outfit.
A victory over the Bloomfield
Elks is credited to the Newark COM
bination and the Professionals also
put up a good exhibition against the
Recreations of Plainfield, losing out
f-3. Many of the other leading teams
In this state have been played by
Bender's Professionals. 1
McEnroe, star third sacker of the
local outfit at the present time, play
ed with the Professionals early this
season so that the class of this COM
bination can be judged from the
work of the Newark player in this
city to date.
Manager Bender has agreed to
forward his lineup to Manager Poul-
sen Of the local team before Satur-
day Of this week. so that local fans
acquainted with Newark semi-pro
circles can see for themselves the

big chance for the balltossers of
Manager Harrington to deliver the
goods. The Perth Amboy represen-
tative baseball team YER to Totem
Vile recently and received a trim
ming at the hands of the Aquehon-
gas. Should the Caseys beat the
Aquehongas DR. make a good showing
against this team, they must be con-
sidered in the running for local
championship honors.
Collins, a Newark pitcher, will
occupy the mound for the Caseys in
the game tomorrow night and Lynch
will be stationed behind the bat.
While Collins has not done any
pitching in this vicinity, reports
from Newark are to the effect that
he has the goods and should succeed
In holding Charley Hilker's hitters.
Joe Coley will play the initial sack
for the Caseys, Tom Burke is sched-
uled to play second, white" Leahy
will be found at short and Andy
Mazurek at the difficult corner. In
the outfield the visitors will have
Jim Romer, Bill Dzurilla and Simon
Jacobs. This combination should be
capable of gathering a nice collec-
ton of hits, unless the offerings of
Art Romer BATTLE them.
Manager Harrington requests all
of his players to make the Sis ferry
from this city tomorrow night so as
to be on the field in uniform by 6
o'clock. A big delegation of fans
will go from this city to witness this
game.
Perth Amboy evening news., 1922-08-02

Art Romer. Veteran southpaw
pitching star of Tottenville, will re-
turn to the fold of the Aquehonga
baseball team tomorrow night to
pitch against the knights of Column
bus nine of this city in the weekly
twilight contest on the Tottenville
grounds. Romer will pitch Thurs
day night games for the Aquehonga
team for the remainder of the sea-
son.
Followers of Romer admit that in
John Harrington's knights of Col
umbus nine the veteran has a tough
task on his hands for his comeback.
The Caseys will place a hard hitting
combination on the field and Har-
rington's men showed last Saturday
afternoon hat they can hit south
paw pitching.
Romer has worked every Sunday
for the Staten Island Elk baseball
team this season., and his exhibit
tions have been in the same class rs
those he has been credited with
during his many years service on
the diamond. Knesel will do the reI
ceiving for Romer and inasmuch as
he has been a battery mate of the
copper" on former occasions, this
portion of the home team should
work in good style.
The remainder of the Aquehonga
team will be chosen from Aicer Jen-
sen, Burke, Griffin, A. Knott, w.
Knott. Lyons, Paugh, Tague and
Hallowell.

EMERALDS TO OPPOSE
METUCHEN BALL TEAM

On Saturday afternoon the Emer-
aid nine of this city will travel to
Metuchen to cross bats with the rep
resentative team of that place. The
Emeralds defeated this team last
season.
Manager Anderson is DESTROYS of
scoring another victory over the
boroughites and will place a strong
team on the field. For the remain
der of the season two men from this
section, we'll known in baseball cir
cles, will perform with this combina-
ton.
The Emerald manager would like
to arrange bookings with the Wood
bridge Caseys, Harmonies of Roose-
welt and teams of similar strength.

Red Bank Friday

Charley Shesler. the locals best
pitching bet, will get a good work
out Friday night when the Ambcys
cross bats with the Red Bank Orioles
on the latter's grounds in the Sec
ond game of a series. These teams
were scheduled to play a week &
Tuesday, but rain interfered with
the booking. This workout should
put Schesler in good form for Sun
days tussle with the Professionals.
Messrs. Poulsen and Apologize
are DESTROYS of avenging their early
season defeat at the hands of the
Orioles, and with Schesler. Smith
and McEnroe in the lineup the
chances are bright and rosy. Leedy
probably will be sent back against
the Amboys in this game. He twirl-
ed the first game and was hit hard,
but because of the fact that his own
team always had a big lead, the
Amboy hits were useless.
No decision has been reached on
Accepting or rejecting the Maurer
request for a game, inasmuch as
the local magnates are DESTROYS OF
letting the fans discuss the PROPOSE
ticn. If gossip of fandom is strong
enough in favor of a Maurer game,
this team will be booked for a game
on the Raritan Copper Works field
in the neal future.
1t is not likely that there will be
a preliminary game on the local field
this Sunday afternoon.

Lehigh Mgr. Resents

Another team has something to

sued by John Urbanski, manager of
tho Maurer Athletic Association
nine. Manager Frank Brown of the
Lehigh baseball team. one of the
leading combinations of North Am
boy, disagrees with statements
made by the Maurer manager and
practically intimates that the Maur-
er nine has been sidestepping the
Lehighs for the entire season.

Baseball's Prize
Bonehead Plays

In the 1917 world series between
the New York Giants and the
Chicago White Six, Heine thinner
man, then star third sacker of the
New York Giants, broke into the
"Bonehead Barry" class.
zimmerman was much PANIED for
his now-famous footrace with Eddie
Collins, which he lost, and which
practically decided the series. Yet
Heine was not alone to blame.
Eddie Collins vas on third. Also
there was a runner on second when
the batter, Joe Jackson. tapped the
ball to the pitcher. Rube Benton. At
the crack of the bat Collins dashed
for the plate.
Benton headed him off and a run
up ensued, with a number of the
New York players trying to retire
Collins. Eddie, who is a clever base
runner, kept them busy.
Zimmerman finally decided that
he was close enough to Collins to
touch him out. He started in pur-
suit.
1t so happened that Catcher Rari-
den was the only man between Col
Inns and the plate. After taking
several steps Zimmerman must have
decided that he. couldn't catch Col
Inns. But when he reached that
decision, Collins was so close 10
Rariden that it was impossible for
zimmerman to get the ball to him.
The only thing for Zimmerman to
do was to chase Collins. The two
were about fifty feet from the plate
at the time. 1t was humorous and
pathetic.
Collins was too fast for thinner
man. When he got within 10 feet
Of the plate Collins pulled a hook
slide. 1t was unexpected by Zim-
norman, and he continued running,
all the time holding the ball with a
M~ercury-like pose.
Failure to get Collins broke up
the ball game and the series. 1t was
a costly footrace for the Giants.
