Ed. Poulsen's Perth Amboy
baseball team will be represented on
the mound tomorrow afternoon b.
Murray Borlund, South Amboy
league twirler. In this tilt which
is to be played on Pearl Oval at
Elizabeth, the Amboys will lock
horns with the crack Recreation
nine of Plainfield.
A real effort has been made since
the start of the present season to
arrange a series between the Am
boys and the Plainfield represen-
tatives, because of the drawing pow
er last year of the Recreation nine.
Manager Poulsen, of the promo
ters of the local representative nine
last year, was unsuccessful in maxi
ing the booking.
The reason given by the Recrea-
ton management for not wanting a
series with the locals was the
presence of Pete Burnett, a former
Recreation player on the Amboy
roster. The Recreations have been
playing at Plainfield on Saturday,
and at Elizabeth on Sunday after
Moons. and the steady Sunday book

Manager Frank Seiboth was given
great confidence when "Wuja' Sci
both reached first on an error, and
Zalari drew a pass. Molly, the hard
working pitcher, stepped to the plate
and slammed one to right. The clout
looked good for a double as it was
expected to bounce off the fence,
but Mason started after the pill in
the same fashion IS he chases a
speeders, and made a brilliant catch.
He threw to Regit, doubling Zalari.
and the first sacker threw to Coplan,
retiring Seiboth, completing a triple
play.
Two errors, a pass and three hits,
gave the Elizabeth tossers five runs
in the second, and they added one
more in the third when a fly was
misjudged and went for a triple. An
outfield error following a hit, gave
the visitors their seventh run in
the fifth, and Mason's home in
the seventh brought in the eighth
tally.
Amboy scored m run in the first
on a walk, stolen base and a hit, and
added four more in the fourth on
four hits, including a double by ia
cobs and triple by Bill Peterson,
and one error. The locals lost two
real chances to score in the fifth
and seventh.
Molly and Mayor pitched good ball

of asking Madeline questions she iS-
