Stinson is one of Perth Amboy's

Perth Amboy are hard to please.

received a burden Of the fans at

This season he has been fielding
the shortstop position, difficult on
any field but most difficult on the
Raritan Copper works diamond, in
a most satisfactory manner. His
hitting, hover, has not been up to
the standard he has desired. Tues
day afternoon Stinson collected
three safeties, and one day like this
has been all that he needed in the
