the Ku Klux Khan. was read to
Mr.. Clarke over the phone at mid
night Saturday.
He made this statement:
"That dispatch is an absolute
falsehood. Only one resolution has

the work Of Philip Hayes, a dis
charged kleagle, who got five or
six men together and framed up
line of propaganda.
1.-THE statement that klans in five
states are in rebellion is preposter

dying.

Cleveland Indians with Steve O'Neill
and with the st. Louis Browns with
Iron-Man Hank SEVERED wearing the
mask.
This one-man rule, however, does
not prevail with the Cincinnati Reds,
where Patrick Moran boasts of what
Is rated the best two-man catching
staff in the major league loop.
Here's the Cast
The cast reads: Ivy Wingo and
Eugene Hargrave, alias Bubbles"
The funny part about this combi-
nation is hat Moran and the pitcher
do not pick the catcher for the game.
Then how is it worked?
The pitcher on the other club.
Until Moran receives the name of
the opposing pitcher he does not Sc
lect his catcher. And for this rea-
son:
Wingo, a left handed batter,
catches when the Reds face a right
handed pitcher.
Hargrave, a right handed batter,
sits behind the mask when the Reds
go against a southpaw.
There is Branch Hickey of the st.
Louis Cardinals who shifts infielders
and outfielders according to the style
of pitching against the Cardinals,
and other managers also arrange
changes, but this is the only two
man catching staff in either big
league.
Wingo Is as spry today as he was
when he entered the National League
In the summer of 1911. He remained
with the st. Louis Cardinals until
1915 when he was traded to the Reds
for Miguel Gonzales. He was born
at Norcross, Ca, July s, 1890.
Hargrave had to tou around the
minor league circuit for a long per-
iod before convincing the majors
that he was ripe. He was given a
trial by the Cubs as a kid in 1913,
but Jimmy Archer was on that job
at that time, hence H'Bubbles" did
not have much of a chance to de-
velop.
Batting in the 800 class for three
seasons, starting in 1918 with st.
Paul, Hargrave was snatched by the
Reds for delivery in 1921.

Bill Seiboth's Police Social Club
baseball team was nosed out in q
free hitting game on the Raritan
Copper Works field yesterday after
noo by tho Single department nine
of the Raritan Copper Works. The
Shinglers won by a one run margin,
the final score being 1919.
Molly started on the mound for
the bluecoats and was relieved af-
ter several innings Of play by Fan
zalari. Art Solt occupied the mound
for the Shinglers throughout the en-
tire game. Both teams obtained
about the same number of hits, but
the Shinglers punched their safeties
to better advantage.
Solt featured at the bat for the
winning team, with five hits in as
many trips to the plate. The Shing-
lers have gained an even break in
two games played this season. losing
their first contest to the Machin-

STRONG c0LORED TEAM BATS WAY TO EASY VICTORY
Equals Record
Of 28 Years Standing
BY BILLY EVANS

Turn the spotlight on Ken VIII
liams once more.
The smuggling outfielder of the st.
Louis Browns has given Babe Ruth
something new to shoot at.
When Williams made two home
runs in the sixth inning of the game
with Washington on August Z he
equaled a batting record of rs years
standing.
In the inning that williams turned
in his remarkable feat. st. Louis
made nine runs and eight hits. Sew
eral misplays on the part of WASH
ington also figured in the scoring. st.
Louis won the game, 16 to 1.
= Only two other batsmen in the his
tory of major league baseball have
eve made two home runs in the
same inning which gives some idea
of the rarity of the performance.
On June 10, 1880, g. Jones. of Bos-
ton made two home runs in one in
ming, the first major league player
to perform such a-feat.
The record established by Jones
stood for IA years, when Bobby Lowe
of Boston equaled it.
Ken Williams stands out as the
first of the so-called modern play
ers to get two home runs in the
same inning.
Williams, who is a left handed hit
ter, made his first home run off
George Mogridge, a southpaw. On
his mex trip to the plate, Erickson,
a right handler, had been substituted
for Mogridge. Erickson, a fast ball
pitcher, uses a style in much favor
with Williams.
The season of 1922 has been a
record breaking affair as far as Will
iiams is concerned.
On April %. against Chicago, Will
liams made three home run in one
game. Only ten other players in the
history of major league baseball
have ever performed such a feat.
The making of three home runs in
me game on April % was the start
of a batting rampage by Williams
that lasted eight days.
In eight days Williams cracked out
nine home runs. Ever since Williams
has been hitting circuit clouts and
showing the way to Babe Ruth as
well as all the other %sluggers in the

Baseball Leaders
Deserve Achievement
Of Wednesday Evening

Messrs. Harry Applegate and Ed
Ioulsen o. the Perth Amboy Ath-
letic Association baseball team have
GoBo everything in their power to
Sive this city a winning team and
they have not let finances halt them
IL grabbing a player, if a good man
ives available. This has been proved
through the acquisition of some of
tho men or the team at the present
time.
Rut even though they had an or
~sanization of first class men. they
continued to lose ball games in
many cases after they had stepped
off with an early lead. Last Sunday
afternoon before the Newark Pro-
f~essional contest, Field Manager Au-
p.egate spoke to a majority of the
players and practically intimated
that every man would have to get
our and work for his job.
lE the game against the Profess
SIGNALS the locals played better ball
than in any previous contest this
year. They continued their good
work in Plainfield on Monday night
and then registered the achievement
OF a season by white-washing the
Recreations on the local diamond
Wednesday night by a 30 score.
Sunday afternoon the All Cole
CLANS. a strong combination from
Brooklyn, is slated to oppose the
locals, but judging from the present
gait of the Amboys, the Brooklyn
team will have to play an eXtraordi-
nary game in order to win.
Perth Amboy evening news., 1922-08-11

The lineup of Wednesday night
probably will be continued for the
remainder of the season, with the
exception that Romer maybe back
in the lineup on Sunday. Zalari,
however. will be kept by the AM
boys, Messrs. Apologize and Poul-
sen have decided.
Locser is Sticking
One of the features of the locals
work at the\present time Is the bat
ting of of Mickey Loeser. He bat
ted 500 against the Recreation
pitchers in the two-games this week
and his record for the season against
this team is 1856. Mickey batted
1873 in the last nine games, but will
have to continue his present gait
for a short time longer in order to
bring his average for the season
up to the 800 mark. Loeser got/of
to a hard luck start this season, but
is hitting the pill in old time form at
the present time.
The Amboy team has a heavier
batting outfit at the present time
than at any previous stage of h
present season. McEnroe Is a good
fielding and batting third baseman,
and Smith is just what the locals
have been wishing for as a first
baseman.
Schesler or Milchick will be sent
to the mound for the Amboys in
the game Sunday, while Bush will
draw the assignment for the visitors.

Aquehonga 9 Receives
Lacing At Hands Of
Crack Royal Giants

The Aquehonga baseball team of
Tottenville suffered it's worst setback
of the season in the weekly twilight
game on the Tottenville grounds
last night. The Royal Colored Giants
furnished the opposition to Manager
Hilker's combine and registered a
1874 victory.
Stark occupied the mound for the
Royal Giants and he succeeded in
holding the A~quehonga players to
three safeties well scattered
throughout the eight innings of
play. The Aq%uehongas started off
strong by sending three counters
across in the opening session, but
these runs were mainly the result
of errors by Stark's teammates.
Veteran Romer was on the hill
for the Aquehongas and his offerings
were pasted freely in the second and
third rounds when the Giants scored
thirteen of their runs. In the sec
ond inning Romer, who vas laboring
with a sore arm, was hit on the left
arm by a drive off one of the visi-
tors bats.
Twenty-three hits, including two
triples and two doubles. were cred
tied to the Royal Giants in this
game. Hill. Fall and Wagner made
thirteen hits between them. The
visitors apparently could hit safely
whenever they desired. They scored
in every session except the first and
fourth.
Paugh, Burke and w. Knott made
the safeties for the Aquehonga team.
Mickey Lyons vas passed in three
of his four trips to the plate. The
fourth Aquehonga run was scored
in the fifth inning.
The fielding feature for the visi-
tors in this game was a throw by
Brooks from deep centerfield to the
plate in the fourth inning, erasing
Tague who attempted to o from
second base on a single. Tague
would have easily made home but
for the fact that the ball came in
with shotlike speed.
A one-hand stop by Art Knott at
shortstop was the fielding feature
for the Aquehonga team. The next
twilight game on the Aquehonga
slate is a contest with the Downey
Shipyard team of Staten Island,
which is scheduled for next Thurs
day night.
This Sunday afternoon the Staten
Island Elks will furnish the opposi-
ton to the Aquehongas on the Tot
tenville grounds and Romer proba-
bly, will pitch for the visitors. Dunn
Is to receive the pitching assignment
for the home team. Meyer Larson
did the receiving for the Aquehongas
last night and did we'll considering
the fact that 1t was his first work
out with the team this season.
A week from this Sunday after
noon the second game Of the series
between the Perth Amboys and the
Aquehongas will be played on the
Raritan Copper Works field. Tot
tenville fans are confident that thu
Aquehongas will repeat their initia
sho' ing against the Amboys.

MANY THRILLS
IN BIC SHOOT
Those Who Possess Skill and
Endurance Will Shine on
Sept. IL.
BY GEO. S.

IfdpSikOOtl1S OAltIilpiou
Double target shooting has more
thrills for spectators than any
other style of smashing clay birds,
and therefore 1t is expected that the
gallery on the Absecon Boulevard,
Atlantic City. New Jersey, will be
very large on Tuesday, September IL
the second day of the 1922 Grand
American Clay Target championship.
On this day both the amateur and
professional championships at dou-
BILE targets will be contested.
Another feature event which is ex-
pected to interest the gallery is the
Junior Trapshooting championship.
In this event boys ranging in 6
from ten to eighteen years wilfshoot
at 100 single targets to determine
which of the youths Is entitled to
wear the trapshooting crown.
In double target shooting. two clay
birds are sprung from the trap sim
ul~taneously. One flies to the right
the other to the left, and the shoot
err is permitted two shots. one at
each Of the targets. This style of
shooting approximates more nearly
than any other the shooting at birds
in the field. A skilled performer
can provide a thrill for the specta-
tors every time he shoots at a pair,
for he must be constantly on the
alert to anticipate the varying flight
of the targets which may be caused
by wind conditions.
There are a number of ~trapshoot-
ers who, because of the difficulties
surrounding it, would rather win the
double target championship than
any other event on the Grand AM
erican Tournament program. At
Atlantic City the amateurs will be
shooting at a mark of SO out of 100.
C. B. Plat, Bridgeton, New Jersey,
holds his record. The present hold
err of the amateur double target
Championship is r. A. King of Del
ia, Colorado, who smashed "a put
of 100 at Chicago last year. This
year for the first time, the double
targets. This makes it a genuine
test of skill and endurance. The
doubles will be shot in eight events
four of ten pairs GO targets), and
four of fifteen pairs Gao ~targets), al
ternating. The winner will receive
the A. T. A. championship medal.
The professionals also will shoot at
100 pairs to determine the champion
in their division. Last year was h
first for the professional double tar
get race, and the winner was Mark
Arie, Champaign, His, who broke SO
out of 100.
For the tra%pshooters who nay not
care to compete for the double tar
get championship there will be a
contest at 100 single targets, Is
yards rise, known as the Atlantic
CITY Introductory. The Junior
Championship will be a part of the
Atlantic City Introductory, but the
boys will be placed in squads to-
gether so that the spectators may
follow them down the line.

Individual supremacy has prevail
ed for years in the department Of
catching, although the position is
more than a n mans job.
However, probably once upon a
time somebody told somebody else
that a catching staff should be COM
posed of one leader with two recruits
to fill in.
Such condition exists with many
major league clubs today. And for
years and years back, too.

BRIEF BITS OF SPORTS
IN ALL FIELDS

The defeat of the Recreations by
a 90 score on Wednesday night
surprised everyone interested and
the visitors endeavored to make a
farce of the contest after the locals
had gained the nine run lead.
1t is probable that Romer and
Knesel will not be in the points for
the Staten Island Elks when this
team plays the Aquehongas on the
Tottenyille diamond Sunday after
noon.
Charley Weinert, of Newark, has
been matched to meet Gene Tunney
of Red Bank in the main event at
the Broad A. c. in Newark next
Thursday night.
Rogers Hornsby and Ken Will
liams are sharing the honors this
season in breaking home run rec
ords in the American and National
leagues.
Zalari should prove to be a valu-
able man to the Perth Amboy team.
1t will take him a little time, how
ever, to get into his hitting stride.
Kid Sid, a local bantamweight,
re-entered the boxing ring last
night, taking part in n of the pre-
liminary bouts at the Asbury Park
Club.
OF interest to local diamond fans
is the apparent return of Mickey
Loeser, star left fielder of the Am
boys, to his old time batting form.
He laced out four hits in the last
two games with the Recreations of
Plainfield.
Woodbridge fans are wondering

Aliens Law VioIators

Thorough and careful work of
the New Jersey fish and game var
dens is shown by the annual report
of Chief Protector James M. STRAIT
ton, which records the fact that in
9S per cent. of the cases where vio-
latora were arrested, convictions
were procured. The total of arrests
was the largest for any year in the
history of the state fish and game
commission, with a record of 767
prosecutions, ISL of the defendants
being convicted. Twenty were sem
fenced to terms of ten to thirty days
in county iails for non-payment of
fines.

prove hat it is are for an American
to be other than law-abiding and a
good sportsman. Aliens were re-
sponsible for a large percentage Of
tho violations. Many foreigners, it
was shown. are still ignoring the

GREAT OUTDOORS

Watching a chick pick its way out
of an egg is one thing but watching
a fish egg hatch is quite a different
exploit. Where the human eye fails
however, the microscope and the
more patient eye of the moving pic
ture camera have triumphed and
the interesting results are shown in
film studies of fish life which the
state fish and game commission has
announced it is prepared to loan to
sEortsmen's associations, schools,
clubs, Oranges and other organiza-
items. The moving picture man has
caught fish life in its native element
a. every stage from the time it
leaves the egg until an angler lifts
the adult specimen. wriggling and
lighting, from a mountain stream.
Wild deer, wild game birds and
other studies of life at the state
game farm at FOrked River and on
tho branch farms and the game pre-
serves, make up the interesting film
series. The films are available with
out cost on application to the fish
and game commission at Trenton.
