In Preliminary Go On Raritan
Copper Works
Field.

Memories of the old grudge bat
ties of a few seasons back will BIO
recalled Sunday afternoon when the
representative baseball teams of
Fords and Keasbey hook up in the
first game of a three-game series
in the preliminary go on the Rar-
itan Copper Works field. This con-
test will precede the Amboy-All Col
leEian event.
Keasbey has a fairly strong rep
resentative team at the present
time, but Fords claims to have a
stronger team. This Is as it was a
few seasons back and the assertions
by the different managers regarding
the class of their respective teams
maze action necessary.
1t is not likely that either of these
teams will load up for this series,
but anything may happen. Both OF
these combinations have big follow
ings and plenty of roofing can be
expected when the teams clash on
Sunday afternoon.
The managers of the respective
teams have agreed to submit theii
lineups before game time on Sun
day.
