With one sweep Of his mighty hand,
he thrust her aside, and, whipping out

Nanny Hopkins to Polly's arm. Then,
in spite Of the girls frantic cries and
her desperate fighting against 1t, Os-

was going to kill Nannyopl Again she
flew at him, but he was tall and strong
and held the lamb aloft In the air,
high out of her reach. With a rough
oath he pushed the girl from him so
roughly that she fell. When Polly
scrambled up, he had the lamb in one
hand and large stone in the other.
"Oscar!" she shrIeked.
She dropped to her knees, clasped
Wee Jerry In her arms, and shrouded
his face and her own In her curls.
When she dared look up again, Oscar
had thrown the dead lamb on the
ground.

As he crossed to her, she tried to

weak, and she was sick over the Qulv-

into his arms.

DOUBLE BILL
FOR THIS CITY
Recreations and Brooklyn
Royal Giants Are to Clash
Again

Announcement has been made of
the booking of a baseball game be-
tween the Recreations of Plainfield
and the Brooklyn Royal Colored
Giants in a twin bill on the Raritan
Copper works field, Sunday after
noon. This field is made vacant on
this date by the departure of the
Perth Amboys for New Brunswick to
play the second game of their coun-
ty championship series with the
Landings of that place.
The Brooklynites and the Union
county combination have met three
times on the diamond this year, the
former having taken two of these
contests. 1t is probable that Teu-
scher and Gingras will take care of
the pitching for the Plainfield club
in these games. while Mountain"
Hubbard and "Speck" Starks appear
as the likely choice for mound duty
for the Brooklyn nine.
The Plainfield team vas originally
scheduled to play the Lincoln Giants
in New York, but this game was can
celled and inasmuch as the Recrea-
lions cannot play on their regular
field on Sunday, it was decided to
the double bill for the local
field. This is the third time the Am
BOYS have left their home field this
season, twice to go to Tottenville and
this time to New Brunswick.
A week from Sunday, weather
permitting, the Amboys will be back
on hand as the home team once
again.

YANKEES MISS CHANCE TO EVEN BIG DIAMOND sERIE,
Basketball Season VIII.

Here Tomorrow Night

A week previous to the date they
opened their home season last year,
the Speedway basketball team of
this city, will start on st. Stephens
auditorium court on State street,
near Buckingham avenue, tomorrow
night.
Last season the Michelin Tire
company of Midtown opened the
season with the Speedways, and an
effort was made against this sea- n
to get the old Amboy rivals to play
the opening contest on the State
street court, but Manager Dorm has
not completed his basketball ar
rangements.
In engaging To%ttenville, Manager
Poulsen has booked a team in which
Perth Amboy and vicinity is inter-
ested. Recently one of the greatest
baseball series in the history of this
section, closed with Amboy the VIC
tor in three out of four contests.
Last season the Speedways won three
out Of four games from the Totem
vile representative basketball team.
Manager Walters forces IRE of the
opinion that the start of the basket
ball season will be like another year
to the Tottenville representatives
and they are confident that they will
return to their home town with the
bacon tomorrow night. The usual
crowd of Tottenville fans will ac-
company the team : lorrow night.

/. NEW YORK, Oct. 6.-(By The
Associated Press)-The Giants and
Yankees having attempted to ap-
pease thousands of fans who weren't
a wit satisfied when the second world
series game was called by umpires
in the tenth inning with the 0
tied at 8 to g., by giving the entire
gate receipts to disabled soldiers ana
charity, returned today to the bust
ness of settling the championship.
The umpires said it vas too dark
to play when they called the halt.
but there were few fans who agreed
with them about the condition OF
daylight.
Some of the fans turned to Com
missioner Lands, the boss of all
major league baseball. Commission
err Lands had nothing to do with
calling the game, but he made a nice
target for their bombardment or
criticism.
The third game with the Giants
"at home" again is on today. NC

ing won the first game and today
they will play behind Pitcher "Dea-

The newest c~oncoction Of dope
has it that the Yankees, despite the

with the Giants to win the series.
The argument for this is that the
Giants have used two of their best
pitchers and have won one game,
while the Yanks have used two of
their best pitchers and lost n
game. This leaves the Yankees with
two pitchers rated among the top
notchers, Hoyt and Mays, while Nc
Quillan, Scott and Ryan, the remain
ing regulars of the Giants staff, are
not regarded so highly.

W0ODC0CK HUNTERS MUST.
HAVE SPECIAL LICENSES

Arrangements have been made
by the State Fish and Game Com
mission whereby sportsmen can
procure from state wardens the spe-
cial woodcock license required un-
der a new law for those who would
hunt woodcock before the opening
Of the upland game season or be-
tween October 1 and November 10.
This special license costing 50 in
addition to the regular hunting
Incense may be procured from the
office Of the commission at Trenton.
The game laws limit upland
hunting during the above period to
woodcock. AS there is no other ex-
cuse for carrying a gun in the fields
or woods during this period, an up
land hunter without a special wood
cock license makes himself liable
to arrest. A heavy penalty of 500
for each violation applies to the
killing of other protected game dur
ing this period. Six woodcock Is
the daily bag limit a hunter may
take. Reports from numerous parts
of the state indicate that early
flights of the birds are on and a
prospect for excellent sport.

H. s. PLAYERS
IN WORKOUT
Under Coach WaddeII Yester-
day-Start Season a Week
Today
fHigh school Correspondent

The Perth Amboy high school
football candidates went through a
signal drill under the direction of
Coach Robert s. Waddall on the
Raritan Copper Works fisld yester-
day afternoon.
Some of the signals of the team
are complicated and need to be re-
hearsed considerably before they
can be worked to perfection. A few
of the signals r patterned after
the Rutgers College system, that is
going through plays with swiftness
and without yelling out signals.
In addition to the signal drill
Coach Waddell advanced further in
his explanation of the gridiron rules
brought out at a meeting of the in
tercollegiate football rules commit
tee last January. A new rule con-
corning the substitution of players
Is that no nan can be returned to
the fray in any quarter or half, but
during an intermission between two
succeeding quarters.
A new addition to the rule on the
time of periods is that the referee
can now order as many minute
periods as he desires. Mutual agree
ment between representatives of
~contesting teams can also agree as
to the time of periods.
Unnecessary roughness is defined
more completely in the new rules
and severe penalties ranging from
fifteen yards to half the distance to
the goal line will be melted out for
offenses of this nature.
When a player has an opportuni-
ty to make a fair catch no opponent
shall interfere, also when the ball
is in the air on a forward pass no
opponent may bat same to prevent
an opponent from securing it. A
loss of fifteen yards is the punish
ment for these offenses.
Penalties that may lose a game
can be imposed for clipping, accord
ing to the 1922 rules. The main
feature of the new rules is the posi-
ton which a team may take after
scoring a touchdown. The ball is
brought to the five-yard line and a
try for the one point may be made
by mean Of scrimmage, pass, kick
OF rush.
The above rule was adopted by
the rules committee to eliminate
individual play. Prior to the MAX
ing of the new rule the ball was
brought to the twenty-yard line and
a kick over the bar was required
to tally a point.
The candidates will not practice
today but on Monday afternoon the
hard grind for the Metuchen game
a week from today will be started.

MANY RECORDS
WE'RE BROKEN
Past Year Was Most Excit-
ing One in Both the Big
Leagues
BY Billy Evans

The 1922 baseball season just
closed, stands out as one of the
knost remarkable in major league
history.
The unexpected has happened,
records have been broken, thrills
galore have been produced.
The American League pennant
winner was lot decided until a day
before the close Of the 5
Third place in the American
League race, which carries with it a
juicy cut In the world series, also
hung in the balance until a day be-
fore the close of the race.
Some idea of the battle for third
place which was won by Detroit can
be CLEANED from the fact that De-
troit finished one game ahead of
Cleveland, the fourth pace team
and the Indians were just one game
in advance of Chicago.
In the National League, second
and third place positions in the race
were not decided until the final day
of the season.
Cincinnati, by winning a double
header from Pittsburgh took second
place from that club. An even split
would have insured the Pittsburg
club the running-up position. st.
Louis, by defeating Chicago worked
itself into a tie with Pittsburg for
third place honors.
The home-run habit started two
years back, continued throughout
the 1922 season. AS a result, home
run totals were shattered.
Last season the American League
teams made ATT home runs, the Ma
tional 460, a total of 937 circuit
clouts.
In the campaign just closed the
National League made 52s homers
the American 525, a total of 1854.
