occupy the mound for the South AM

the Raritan Copper Works outfit in
the rubber contest Of a three game
series on the Raritan Copper Works
field tomorrow afternoon.
ON the South Amboy grounds. the
railroad Y. NJ. c. A. team regis
tered a victory over the Ingots after
the visiting team had held the up
per hand for the first six innings.
Reed started on the mound for Man
ager Applegate's team. and he was
relieved by another man in the late
innings.
When the South Amboy outfit
came to this city, Manager Apple
gate took the mound and the In
gots scored a decisive victory over
the combination from across the
river. The forces of Manager
Thomas have not been going good
this season, because of the pilots
inability to get his best men togeth-
Ell, but for the game here tomorrow
afternoon he has recruited a real
roster of candidates.
Applegate's work on the mound
has been mainly responsible for the
recent victories of the local indus
trial team, and the home team
should succeed in capturing this rub

He has not decided on the pitch
ing choice for this game, but the
mound burden probably will fall up
on the shoulders of Brownmiller. In
former games at Metuchen, Brown

the Metuchen sluggers.
Bill Campbell will do the receiv-
ing. Tague will play second base.
Pellegrine, shortstop; Brown. third

assigned to Mazurek, Loeser, Chris

One of the latter collection will be
assigned to first base II Brownmlller

The Metuchen nine will line up In

strictly on a professional basis.
Some would draw the line one
place and some another. The direc-
tors, after years of study, have sug-
gested where the line shall be drawn.
These men know what is good for
our college athletics and the support
of the public is solicited in the en-
deavors which are being made to
place amateur athletics on a higher
plane.
Athletics on the whole in the
Western Conference are as free from
evil as are the athletics of any other
sectional group of colleges.
Always a Leader
In fact. this conference has always
been a leader in initiating changes
which were for the betterment of
athletics.
In accepting the Office Of commits
sioner of athletics of the Western
Conference, l realize that our games
will be just as clean as the men who
play them and that the standards OF
craftsmanship in the colleges will
largely be established by the mer
who coach the teams. 1t will be my
privilege and duty to labor to make
our athletics increasingly helpful
and beneficial to the nation.
