BRIEF BITS OF SPORTS
IN ALL E l.

A. city bowling league, a team
entered in a state tourney and the
possibility OF a county league, are
being discussed in bowling circles
here at the present time,
Satisfied with their showing
against the Job Print employees,
members of the newspaper compos-
ing room baseball team are DESTROYS
of arranging a baseball match with
the news hounds"
Little has been heard regarding
basketball plans for Woodbridge
| during the coming season, since ii
was made known that the plan to
build a new hall had fallen
through.
1t Is probable that there will be
about a dozen more home baseball
games played by the Perth Amboy
Athletic Association nine before
the close of the present season.
Several may be with teams from
this section.
Saturday night boxing will not
draw well in Asbury Park, it Is the

Aquehongas And Caseys
Prepared For Clash
On TottenVine Field

I r%ington's outfit to a crack at the
Amboys for the city championship.
This is the second point of interest.
Romer will try to pitch better to-
night than ever before. to show
his opponents of early season that
he still has many a good game IN
the old southpaw, anu to satisfy tae
fans who worked 20 bling about his
return to the fold.
The Caseys with the crack at Am
boy in view, will try to accomplish
an undertaking the regular Amboy
| representative team slipped up on.
With both teams battling at their
pest, an interesting game Is assured
and both combinations expect to
have big followings in attendance.
The visiting team will have three
| men in the lineup tonight who per-
formed with the Amboys against the
AQIehongas several weeks ago. Jim
I,omer, Bill Dzuril.a and Andy Ma
zurek. Mazurek retired from base
bail several weeks ago OIL account
Of Illness. His heaitC has recovered
sufficiently to warrant mis- maktrg
another try and he will play his first
game tonight since his retirement.
Miller will oficiate in tonight's
game. He is the regular umpire OF
the Aquehonga team. Sunday after
noon the A~auehongas will play a
return game with the Bayonne Field
Club and expect to venge a set
in the season.
Saturday afternoon the Caseys
will play a return game with the
Mystics at Belmar. The Mystics
beat the Caseys, ST, earlier in the
season.

Baseball fans in throngs will head
for T%ottenville tonight, where the
Knights of Columbus baseball team
of this city and the Aquehongas
of Tottenvillc are scheduled to play.
The game will be played On Aque-
honga field AMI will get under way
about $3.50 o'clock.
The probable lineup of the teams:
Cascys
Leahy, IS; Burke, 2b; Romer, II;

Knott, 3b; Burke. 1b: Knesel, c;
Romer, p.
There are two points of interest
in connection with the game to-
night. Art Romer veteran Totem
vile southpaw, will pitch his first
game since his return to the Aque-
honga fold. Romer was a manager
OF the team at the start of the sea-
son and also the principal pitcher OF
the team. Gossip had it that he
could not agree on certain matters
with the athletic committee of the
club and his retirement from the
organization followed.
Several weeks ago the Perth AM

SACRED HEARTS TO Travel
Remainder OF SEASON

SOUTH AMBOY, Aug. 3:--The
Sacred Heart Baseball Club of this
city will travel for the balance Of
the summer s 1t is under
stood that lack of financial assist
ance was instrumental in bringing
1t about.
The local combination has been
playing first rate ball, having met
some of the strongest baseball con-
tenders in this section. They lost
but three games this season and
none since their reorganization.
They are anxious to meet the
Landings of New Brunswick on the
Landings own diamond. The Orioles
of Red Bank and the Tottenville
Aquehongas are among the number
the locals are anxious to meet.
An out-of-town game for this
Sunday is what is wanted at the
present time. Due to some misun-
derstanding a scheduled contest for
Sunday was cancelled late last night.

LEONARD TO DO NO BOXING
| IN PREPARING FOR HAMMER

MICHIGAN CITY, Ind, Aug. g.

of the danger of %reopening the cut

match with Lew Tender, Benny
Leonard, lightweight champion. will
do no boxing in preparation for
his ten round contest with Ever
Hammer, the challenger from Chi
cago, here next Saturday afternoon.

other cut is in the lid. This is a
ly healed. -
Both Hammer and Leonard will
virtually wind up their training to-
morrow.

Red Bank Combination.
NeWarkerS Have Record

There is every indication that a
biz throng will go from this city
tomorrow night to witness the sec
onG game of the series between the
Perth Amboy Athletic Association
nine and the Red Bank Orioles
which will be played on the lat
ter's grounds. The Orioles won the
first game of this set by a big mar
cir. and the Amboys are out tor
revenge.
A week ago the Amboys were
scheduled to play in Amboy. but
rair. prevented the game. On this
occasion 1t drizzled almost the en-
tire day in this city. seemingly not
enough to prevent a ball game,
while it poured in Red Bank the
entire afternoon. For this reason,
Business Manager Ed Poulsen re-
quests all persons who intend to
witness the game to pass his store
about 5 o'clock and at this time it
! will be definitely known whether or
not the game is on. Many autoIno-
biles are scheduled to leave from
this point as they did the first time
the locals played in Red Bank.
With Charley Schesler on the
mound. Smith at first and McEnroe
at third, there is every indication
that the Amboys should avenge the
iLltIal setback. semester already Ce-
| feated the Orioles, while pitching
for the Bloomfield Elks and is con-
fdent that he can repeat the stunt
with the Amboy team behind him
In Smith. the Amboy outfit has a
classy first sacker and a good stick
er. and McEnroe is a peppery worker.
Al, of the other regulars will be on
hand for tomorrow nights contest
Leddy, who twirled the first game
against the Amboys, Is scheduled to
b. sent back to the mound tomor-
row night. The Amboys would have
given him a lacing on this occasion,
but for the fact that the Orioles
hammered the pill and the fielding
of the visitors was not up to its
usual standard.

with ease, in the scheduled ten

From present indications the

have an idea of annexing the city
championship honor also sought by
the Perth Amboys.
The Michelin Tire Company base
ball team has finally hit it's stride.
In the near future the tiretown
team will have as it's opponent the
Perth Amboys in the first game of

baseball forces expect to avenge
another early season defeat when
they hook up with the Bayonne
representative baseball team Sun
day afternoon.
Since retiring from the boxing
game, Moe Koch has not advanced
far in championship fields. Re-
Gently however, he made up his
mind to enter for Cracker eating

strong contender for the champion
ship at the present time.

Roosevelt is expected to take an
active part in the sport activities

Perth Amboy evening news., 1922-08-03

A plan has been submitted by a
baseball fan of this city for a salts
factory settlement of the baseball
championship of this section. Roosa-
welt, Woodbridge, South Amboy and
local combinations are considered in
this plan which might be called an
elimination contest to decide the OPP
ponent for the Perth Amboys and
possibly the Landings of New Bruns-
wick in a Middlesex county cham
pionship series.
According to the plan advanced 1t
is brought out that the local repre-
sentative team engages in at least
one game every season with the
representative teams of Roosevelt
and Woodbridge, and this season
the Sacred Hearts of South Amboy
also are angling or a crack at the
locals. In addition to this, the
Maurer baseball team of this city
recently issued a def TO the Amboys,
aid the Speedway, Lehigh and Blue
Z Gray mines practically dispute the
claim of this team to a game with
the Amboys. When smoke that in
Dictated an elimination contest cloud
ed the sky the Dry Dock and Knights
of Columbus baseball teams desired
consideration in the event of such
an undertaking.
The baseball fan suggests that the
names of all teams interested, if
strong enough, be placed in a hat.
Possibly eight teams could be con-
sidered, Harmony of Roosevelt,
Woodbridge knights of Columbus,
Sacred Hearts of South Amboy. and
the Maurer, Lehigh, Blue & Gray,
knights of Columbus and Dry Dock
mines of this city.
Each team could be given a num-
Der from one to eight. and in the
first game, one and two would play

:A7HER UNSETTLED FOR BIG ALMOND GAM
Baseball's Prize
Bonehead Plays

Mistakes due to batting out of
orr err are always confusing.
AS a rule such plays are brought
about through carelessness.
In most cases, the blame rests en-
tirely with one or two players.
however, two of the most unusual
batting-out-of-order plays i n the
majors, had two of the games
brightest managers as the offenders.
Branch Hickey, now the manaSer
of the st. Louis Cardinals. pulled
one of the stunts while the great
ana only Tyrus Raymond Cobb was
responsible for the other.
Hickey offended when he was
leader of the St. Louis Browns in tue
American League. In the regular
lineup of the Browns, Wallace had
been hitting sixth and Austin
eighth. In this game, which was
piayed at Washington, Hickey de-
cided to shift his batting order,
sending Austin to sixth and drop
ping Wallace to eighth.
Hickey SO notified the umpires
and gave them his official lineup.
But he failed to tell the players of
the change. For eight innings
Wallace batted sixth and Austin
eighth, although the official batting
order called for just the reverse.
IE the ninth inning, Hickey de-
cided to send arpinch hitter in for
his catcher. who was batting sew
enth. Wallace led off with a double.
Then Hickey sent in his pinch hit
ter. At this stage, John Henry,
catching for Washington, noticed
that Wallace, who had hit sixth and
doubled. was listed eighth in the
official lineup.
The umpire's attention was called
to the fact, and he called out the
proper batsman. who was Austin.
| Wallace. who had doubled when he
batted out of order. was removed
from second. The pinch hitter then
hit for the catcher. Then Wallace,
who had previously doubled wnen
he batted out of order, hit in his
proper position, eighth.
1t is one of the few instances
where two players have batted out
of order a number of times with
| out being detected. Had not a pinch
| hitter been SEN in, the boot" prob
ably would have escaped notice.
Last season, Heilmann usually hit
third and Veach fourth, in the De-
troit lineup. On this day, Cobb de-
cided to reverse conditions, but
failed to tell the players after mott
| flying the umpire. The game also
was played at Washington.
In the opening inning, Heilmann
came up third. when the lineup call
| ed for him to hit fourth. 1t was the
irony of fate that he should drive
the ball into the old left-field bleach
! err at Washington. one of the long
est hits ever made in the park.
Immediately, Manager Milan OF
| Wa shington complained that he had
| batted out of order. There was
nothing for the umpire to do hut
call out the proper batsman, Veach
and erase Heilmann's home run.
