Players Weak
Against Recreations
TeuSCher Allows Hits

The Perth Amboy Athletic Asso-
citation baseball team made a miser-
able showing against the Recreation
nine Of Plainfield on the Raritan
Copper works field yesterday after
noon. Instead of a close game as
was expected. inasmuch as the Plain
field representative team m be
rated a great deal stronger than the
locals. the final score vas 11-2.
Afeld the poor work of the local
players was very much in evidence,
and although only -four errors are
chalked up against the Amboys. the
manner in which balls were PLAYED
that went for hits. was responsible
for a great many run credited TO
the visiting aggregation. In a num-
Der of cases easy fly balls were al

same.
On clean hits balls which entitled
the runner TO more than n base,
the slow work of the locals in one
case permitted a runner, the slowest
man on the visiting team, TO score
from first base. Art Teucher who
occupied the mound for the Recrea-
tions, twiried an efficient game but
the fact that he went on the mound

the Plainfield team.
The locals possess a habit Of stop

behind by a few runs. This was
evident yesterday after the Recrea-
tons had gained a slight lead and il
was possible for the locals to over

umpired this season. his showing
yesterday was perhaps the worst,
and although he may have given an
even break, the fact that the visitors

|BRENNAN-TUNNEY FIGHT
! ONDECEMBER 29L|KELY
By FAIR PLAY.

NEW YORK. December 6.-Looks
as if Harry Greb's misfortune is the
good fortune of the fans. For when
Harry sent word that he was in bed
with a bad cold in his eyes and would
not be useful to the Garden promo
ters on December 20 next. up gets
Matchmaker Flourney and makes a
bold proposition to Bill Brennan. Not
only that. he waved Gene Tunney's
acceptance in Lee F1ynn's face.
Brennan's manager blinked and
then expressed a desire to talk II
over. That is what they have been
doing ever since. There is no doub,
that Brennan and Tunney will meet
on the date originally planned for the
Tunuey-Greb battle. Then the win
ner will meet Greb later.
At least Greb will be seen in action
if Tunney wins. Brennan looks upon
Greb as clown who doesn't fight
fair and square. He has mingled with
the it.sburgh windmill couple OF
times and says he doesn't see and
profit in being slapped and cuffed
Some one ought to tell Bill that the
way to stop it is to hand over q
right hand wallop to Greb's Jaw
evidently in past meetings this idea
has not occurred to Bill.
