Downey Shipyard combination of
Port Richmond. Staten Island or the
Tottenville grounds last night. The
game was terminated at the end of

the Tottenville representatives for
the Staten Island Elks last Sunday
afternoon.
In addition to holding the visitors
to three safeties and registering
eleven strikeouts, the "eteran's two

LOCAL OUTFIT
IS CONFIDENT
Amboy Players Expect to
Beat Aquehonga Nine
This Time

Fairly confident are the Perth
Amboy Athletic Association forces of
their chances to beat the Aquehonga
nine of T~ottenville on the Raritan
Copper works field, Sunday after
noon. This is the second game of
an interstate series between the
two team and the biggest crowd
of the season is expected out.
By an So margin, the Tottenville
representatives COPIED the first game
of this series which was played on
the Aquehonga grounds. Harry APP
plegate pitched for the Amboys in
this contest, while Frank Dunn was
on the mound for the home team.
This Sunday afternoon there is
every indication that Dutch"
Schesler will work on the mound
for the home team, while Dunn will
receive the assignment for the Aque-
hongas. The Aquehongas have been
playing better ball than the Amboys
since the last meeting of these two
teams.
Dunn, in the opinion of a great
many, has the number of the Am
boy batters, while it is a question
lust how Schesler will hold the
Aouehonga players. Schesler has
been off and on in form, and Mick
ey Milchick will be on hand for
emergency purposes. Sunday. 1t is
probable Milchick may be started
against the 'Tottenville outfit.

Revocation OF the company's per-

for Pennsylvania, before whom
hearings were held i'm Philadelphia
upon charges of misuse Of their in

F1eischmanu agencies.
Grounds for the revocation Of the
permits were given by Mr.. Haynes
as follows:
Diversion of non-beverage alco--
hol for beverage purposes; disposed
of beverage alcohol on forged
permits and without permits 10 pur-
chase. kept and maintained false
records and at times no records
whatever of receipts and disposition

regulations in carrying on business
