the Victorian Girls quintet of Sayre-
Vile. The final score OF this contest
was 1910, and Miss Thorn scored
the only field goals credited to the
home combination.
According to the ~sayreville man
ager an agreement was reached be-
tween the two managers after the
series had been tied at one all that
only Sayreville and Midtown girls
should be used in the deciding game.
The Midtown team used three South
Amboy Independent players in the
second game at Sayreville and was
defeated, and the Sayreville mana
ger had planned to use the Handler

city In the third game.

BRIEF BITS OF SPORTS

The Independent baseball team
has two games booked, one with the
st. Mary's nine and another with
local college boys. Bob St. Andrassy
is manager. and light junior teams
can address him at las Market

Boxing may be resumed in this
city shortly. There is great interest
In the fight game at the present
time, judging from the crowds At
the recent smokers. There will be =
smoker in Roosevelt shortly, and a
new fight club is scheduled to start
at South Amboy.

wick avenue, is manager and he can
be reached by calling Perth Amboy

Perth Amboy evening news., 1922-04-05

Some Of the experts are inclined
to think that Bob II through. /
don't share that opinion. Shawkey
is young. has always taken good
care of himself and should win a lot
of bali games for the Yankees this
summer.
Yankees Strong Combination
The Yankees were without . good
southpaw last year. A left handler,
who can deliver. Ia q very valuable
man to any ball club. It looks as II
Miller Higgins had acquired such a
player in Lefty. O'Doul.
O'Doul has been the property of
the New York Americans for several
years. Last season he was sent to
the San Francisco club for further
seasoning. With that club he won
twenty-five games in the Coast
League. He appears to have ar
rived.
Unless Judge lands relents the
Yankees are going to be minus much
Of their attack until May 20. That
Is the release date on the suspension
melted out to Babe Ruth and Bob
|Meusel.
The Yankees are certain to mis-
the timely swats Of these two great
batsmen. However, an OF the
opinion that the excellent pitching
the Yankees should get win tide
them over without having the club
suffer any great handicap.
The Yankees certainly ngure to
repeat.
Three Clubs Arc Dangerous
The other three berths in the first
division will In all probability be oc-
cupied by Cleveland. st. Louis and
Washington.
Cleveland is an If baseball club in
