BOWLING IS POPULAR At
SOUTH AMBOY Y. M. G.. A.

SOUTH AMBOY, Sept. 14:-The
bowling season opened officially on
the local p. r. r. Y. NJ. C. A. alleys
on Labor Day with much interest
manifested. Each of the alleys has
been completely o~verhauled ana
given that perfect smoothness essen
tial to good bowling, while all the
other equipment has been improved.
Although the alleys were opened to
the public a week ago and a num-
Der of enthusiasts are already en-
joying the pleasure afforded. the
league will not start until about
October J..
Bowling will probably reach its
peak of popularity here this season,
Secretary Nell thinks. and says that
the teams that will organize war
rants that belief. The bowling
league will be composed of six or
eight teams, five men each, each
will play seventy-five games during
the season on the Y. M. C. A. alleys.
Engagements have already been
made by teams for the reservation
Of the alleys, but a few more dates
may be reserved.
The "Y" has always taken the
lead in bowling activities in this city
according to Mr.. Nell and will strive
during the coming season to main
tain the excellent service they have
always provided.
Secretary Nell sends out a call
that a special meeting will be held
tomorrow night at 1880 o'clock at
the Y. M. c. A. for the organization
of the league, and all persons inter-
ested in bowling are invited to at
tend this meeting.

This Season

Manager Jerome Jacobowitz of :he
Roosevelt Separate basketball team
this morning announced the reor-
SANITATION of his combination for
the coming winter months. This
team will play home games in
Coughlin's auditorium, Roosevelt on
Sunday nights and will travel any
other night in the week.
Only two members or last years
team are with the Separates This
year, Freddy Glochau of this city
and Chip" Cutter, of Roosevet t.
According to the announcement of
Mgr. Jacobowitz, Jack CremmeLs,
"Jiggs" Donahue and Sam Denberg
of Newark will occupy positions
with the team, as will Ray Hander-
han, of this city. 1t is probable that
Paul Sutton also will be added to the
roster of the borough court team.
1t is the plan of the borough bas-
ketball magnates to open the season
on Sunday night, October 8, but the
opposition for the opening game has
not been announced. Last season
the Separate team was the leading
contender for court honors in this
section.
Just how the team will line up on
the floor has not been decided but
it is probable that. Glochau and
H~anderhan will team up in the ad-
vance; Cremens at center, and Den

FOrty-Eight Candidates
High School
First Outdoor Practice

A large crowd of students and
outsiders watched the proceedings
and were unanimous in their opin-
ion that there is not any room for
an ounce of pessimism.
Looking over the material it was
readily seen that the team will be
light but very fast. In Convery and
Wilmer the coach has a combination
of speed merchants on the flank,
while at a tackle berth there no
doubt will be found Boots" Cohen,
a good runner with a brainy head
and a deadly grip. These are out
standing candidates in the line up
to date.
In the backfield there will be
Fighting Don" Martin and Buddy"
Larson, who will head the quarter
back delegation. A friendly tilt for
the pivot position will be engaged in
by these men. Rasmussen and Carl
bon also size up well in the rear.
After the workout yesterday it is
probable some of the men will re-
port today with sore and itching
muscles. The coach wishes it to be
known that football practice begins
promptly at 4 o'clock daily until
further notice. Practice will be con-
tinued on the Raritan Copper
Works field today.
Doc" Emmons, line coach, was
rot present yesterday but surely will
be on deck today. Professor Victor
Wisner will also assist in the mould
ing of the representative eleven. He
will instruct the candidates on punt
ing and kicking. The name of an
other coach will be given out in a
day or two.
Manager johnson today an
nounced that he had booked two
high class opponents, they being
Metuchen and Railway high schools.
Metuchen will be played on October
II and Railway on October 2S. A
game with Rutherford is pending.
Asked as to his opinion concern
ing the material he has to deal with
Coach Waddell said:
THE majority of the men are
light which will result in the forma-
ton of a light, but unbeatable speed
team. I have hopes of producing
a steady winner. 1t should also be
taken into consideration that the
sport is being resumed after a seven
year layoff, which makes the task a
Herculean one"

clip. He hit better than 400 for the
first month of play. No one figured
he could keep up the terrific pace
but he has. From start to finish he
has maintained a gait that has kill
ed off all ~contenders, with the eX-
ception of the great Cobb.
Wonder I'm the Field
Aside from his remarkable hitting
he has played a wonderful game in
the field. The St Louis infielders
eve worry about their throws, if
they are able to get them within
striking distance of the bag. Sisler
goes into the air, digs them out OF
the ground or spears them with his
gloved hand with equal ease.
On the bases, in a year in which
base running has been a negative
quantity, Sisler has had a big sea-
son.
In batting in runs with timely hits
and scoring them himself, he has
played a big part in the success OF
the Browns.
Sisler during the season of 1922
has featured in every department OF
play. He is easily the outstanding
figure Of the American League in a
season of unusual happenings.

SER|ESF|NAL
Amboy With Railway and the
Aquehongas With Hoboken
Stars Changes Made

Games this Sunday afternoon to
be played by the Perth Amboy and
Tcttenville representative baseball
team, will tune up the combinations
for what is expected to be the final
contest of the interstate series on
the Raritan Copper Works field .
week from Sunday afternoon.
This Sunday, Amboy will have the
the Raritan A. A. as an opponent
and an interesting game is expected
while the Aquehongas will cross bats
with the Hoboken Stars. Amboy
will lineup the same as last sunday
with the exception that Mike 500
will do the pitching. but Aicer Jen-
sen, who starred against Totem
willie last Sunday, also will be in at
tendance. The Aquehongas will have
a new backstop in action against the
Stars on Sunday.
According to an announcement
made by the Aquehongas pilot this
morning, there will be four new men
in his lineup for the fourth game
of this series which will be played
in Amboy a week from Sunday. Two
of the four will be a pitcher and
catcher. 1t seems impossible for
Dunn to be effective against the Am
boys any longer.
Jensen will pitch the fourth game
against the Aquehongas and 1t Is pos,
sible that Charles (Pud) Stinson will
be back in an infield position.

High School Correspondent

A glimpse of the local high school
football material was obtained yes
terday afternoon when forty-eight
of the fifty-eight students who sign
ed UP on Tuesday reported for the
initial outdoor practice which was
held on the Raritan Copper Works
field.
As this is the first year of varsity
football at the local institution in a
good many years, no attempt will
be made to weed out the material
until the season gets under way.
Coach Robert S. Waddell was well
Spleased with the turnout yesterday
afternoon. Among those seen on
the field were Stern, Yarnell. Olces-
ky, Grieve. Suhar, Rasmussen. N.
Cohen. Martin, D'Andrea, Nolan,
Match" Wilmer, Convery. Jellinek
and Stepacoff. players who gained a
little experience in the class games
of last year and show promise of
developing into varsity stars.
In addition to the above inter-
class stars Ray Carbon. who re-
Gently returned TO school, and
George IAnoblock, a sophomore who
performed last year on the White
Plains, N. Y, eleven and the year
previous with the Peddie Institute
seconds. also reported for prelimi-
nary training.
The outdoor session got under
way with a brief talk by the coach.
In his address to the candidates the
instructor dwelt upon the necessity
of keeping in shape so as to produce
a winning brand of football. The
local gridiron mentor also declared
that a fraternal spirit must be kept
among the members of the squad if
internal troubles are to be avoided.
After the lecture the men were
sent through a series of c~alisthenics
to timber up the muscles. The
goose walk, that is, walking in a
de~ep-kneed position, was taught the
candidates. This is done to strength
en- the leg muscles.
The correct position on the line
of scrimmage was then demonstrat-
ed and individual attention was
given to the rockies by the 1nstruc-
tor. Running around the field then
closed the initial practice. The can
didates were warned not to extend
themselves in their running.

BRIEF BITS OF SPORTS
IN ALL FIELDS

Babe Ruth, it is understood
does not care whether he cops the
major league home run hittinis
championship this season or not. as
he would much rather see the Yam
KEGS get another crack at the
Giants In an annual classic.
Basketball doings in the county
are seemingly at a standstill. Two
teams have organized in this city,
Roosevelt and South Amboy are
hesitating in making organization
announcements, and New Bruins
wick is unsettled.
Judging from the class of bouts
carded, another big crowd should
be in attendance for the boxing
bouts in C%oughlin's auditorium,
Roosevelt. tomorrow night.
Charley "Pud" Stinson probably
will be back at his shortfield posi-
ton for the fourth game of the
present series between the Aque-
hongas and Perth Amboys, which
will be played here a week from
Sunday.
The Yankees will need consist
ent pitching and batting in order
to gain at least an even break in
their present tour of the west. st.
Louis epects little opposition from
the other Eastern teams.
Tom Barlow, former Trenton
Eastern league star, will play with
the Sea Bright Arrow basketball
team during the coming court sea-
son, 1t has been learned.
Tottenville baseball fans, it is un-
derstood, are making every etfor
to have several positions on the
Aquehonga team changed before
the fourth game of the Interstate
series which will be played here a
} week from Sunday.

BY Billy Evans

George Sisler of the st. Louis
Browns is certain to be selected as
the most valuable ball player in the
American League for the season of
1922.
Ty Cobb generally has been con-
sidered the greatest ball player that
ever lived. Cobb is nearing the end
of his remarkable career.
George Sisler stands out as a
worthy successor to Cobb's crown.
When the commission of experts,
selected to judge the American
Leagues most valuable player,
meets, Sisler is practically certain
to be the unanimous choice of the
all-wise jury.
Great as Twirler
Sisler came to the American
League direct from the University
of Michigan.
He made his debut as a pitcher.
He is a southpaw. Inside of a year
he was rated among the best left
handed pitchers in the American
League.H ad he continued to pitch
he would today be the sensation OF
the American League from a twirl-
ing standpoint. .
His hitting ability. plus his great
speed, made it seem that much OF
his talent was being wasted in
merely using him as a pitcher. The
st. Louis club finally decided thai
he would be much more
playing regularly rather thar pitch
ing every fourth day.
Sisler, because Of his great speed'
was first used in the outf1eld. lie
met with fair cce and seemed
destined TO develop into a great
fielder. Then it was decided to use
him at first. 1t took only a rev
lays for him to demonstrate that
first basing was his forte.
On First Base
Until Sisler reached the top of MS
game, Hal Chase was generally re-
garded as the greatest first baseman
of all time. Now that great honor
has been transferred to Sisler. Only
recently Connie Mack. who has nc
superior as a judge of players. told
me that Sisler was by far the great
est first baseman he had ever seen
