The question OF the Transsaharien

Recently 1t was announced that the
government would soon lay before
the parliament a project for the con-
struction of this railway.
The aim in building such line is
principally. to link the French pos
sessions of Black Africa to the Med

of northern Africa, probably from CO.

OF its construction would be 5000

Travel by sea from France to the
Sudan requires more than twenty
days, whereas by the way of the
proposed transsaharien railway the
journey would take scarcely a week

North Amboy Diamond Series
to be Continued Tomorrow
at Maurer

Unusual interest surrounds the
game between the Maurer A. A.
baseball team and the Hungarian
Catholic Club nine of this city to be
played tomorrow afternoon on the
formers diamond.
This will be the third contest of a
five game series between these two
outfits for the championship of
North Amboy, the Hungarian Club
team winning the first encounter,
while the Maurer team carried off
the honors in the second contest.
Pete Dametch, who hurled the
Maurer ball tossers to a no-hit, no.
run game for the second game of the
course, will in all probability occupy
the mound for that aggregation in
the contest tomorrow and will en-
Geavor to repeat his accomplishment
of last week. Faltisco will do the
for the Hungarian team and
expects to win the edge game Tor his
team. Several changes are expected
to be made in the lineups.
Both the Hungarian club and the
Maurer team are strong bidders for
the championship, being on an equal
par for the honors. A large crowd
is expected out to see the game as
the classic is the main topic of the
day in North Amboy circles.
The game will start about 8
o'clock and the next game will be
played on Sunday, October 20, on the
same diamond.

I'm GridIrOn Contest

The football team of Beauvais
Post No. 126, American Legion of
.Tottenville, S. l., will play their first
game tomorrow afternoon when they
stack forces against the United
eleven of Stapleton S. l., on the
Aquehonga field.
The Beauvais Post team this year
has about twenty-five candidates on
its roster and boasts OF being one of
the best teams in this section. Last
year Tottenville had a splendid team
as their record on the Aquehonga
Geli will show.
Almost a complete schedule of
games has been arranged by the
American Legion pigskinners, in
Guiding the real contenders for the
island championship. Games will be
played every Sunday afternoon and
the kickoff will be made about 8
o'clock.
Throughout the gridiron circles,
especially about Stapleton, the Unit
ed team which forms the first oppo-
sition of the Legion outfit is reported
to be a "crackerjack" combination.
Several stiff practice sessions have
been held by the Tottenville foot
ballers during the last few days
and the regular team including the
subs are said to be in Al shape for
the contest tomorrow. A good game
is expected.
On next Sunday afternoon October
Fl the Beauvais Post eleven will OPP
pose the R%ossville Field Club on the
Tottenville field. This is also ex-
pected to be an interesting conest.
The lineup in tomorrow's contest
will be picked from La Forge, Ham

Coach Stauffer's Perth Amboy
High School gridiron representa-

Buddy" Larson, backfield men.
4gain played a prominent part in the
victory registered by the Crimson
fand White tossers. Martin tailed
/ the visitors only touchdown shortly
after the start of the first quarter,
carrying the pigskin across after a
series of line plunges. Larson sue
ceeded in making good the one point
score after touchdown.
In the same quarter, SNEAKER sue

sistent plunging through the Am
boy line, also was responsible for
this score The score at the close of
the first quarter was 7-6, in favor
of Amboy.
Field Goals
Buddy Larson succeeded in
making good a goal from field in
the second quarter and this tally in
creased the Amboy lead to four
points. Larson scored another field
goal in the third quarter, and the
final o was 13-6.
Once again the Amboys were up
against heavier opponents and only
the fighting spirit imbued by Coach
Stauffer, enabled the Crimson and
White bearers 10 emerge the victor.
When the South River team sue
ceeded in preventing any real ad-
vances In the second and third quar-
tiers. Larson's drop-kicking was de-
pended on to place the game in a
safety zone for the visitors, and he
did his work well.
The most sensational play for the
victors is credited to Harold BONN
sack, who occupied an end position.
He caught a forward pass in the
third quarter and succeeded in
carrying the ball for quite a gain.
Throughout the four quarters, his
playing added real pep" to the
Amboy team. Jacobson, at center,
Fennessy, another end, and Spivack,
also played well. Considering that
it was the econd performance of
the Stauffer machine, all of the
players did exceptionally well.
South River has partaken in a
number of games so far this sea-
son, but the defeat of yesterday
was hard for the Fitzpatrick ma
chine to swallow. A victory yer
Amboy is worth a half dozen over
another school.

in the championship games as he
was not successful in beating out Cy
Williams of Philadelphia for the
home run hitting title, and was de-
feated by Harry Heilman of Detroit
in the American League batting race.
The Bambino is a nan of records,
and he will try hard to establish a
home run hitting record in this

other player to win honors of this
kind.
Ruth at First
Due to the fact that Pipp was in
jured again yesterday, it is probable
that the Bambino will play at first
in the remaining contests of the
series. He is not the least worried
over the plan of the Giant pitchers
to give him passes whenever a rally

There is a possibility that Stengel

remaining contests whether a south
paw or Highlander is sent to the

A battle between Casey Stengel
and Babe" Ruth, instead of McGraw
and Ruth, is the opinion gained as a
result of the three games played in
the 1928 worlds series to date. The
fourth game will be played at the
Polo Grounds this afternoon.
In the first contest of the series at
the Yankee stadium on Monday
Stengel's home run in the ninth in
ming gave the Giants a ga victory.
On Thursday at the Polo Grounds
the great Bambino clouted out two
home runs and these circuit clouts
were mainly responsible for the
Yankees first win over the Giants in
two years.
The two teams returned to the
Stadium for the third game yester-
day afternoon and Stengers circuit
clout in the seventh inning was the
only run scored in the game. Stengel
was not used at the start of Thurs
days game because of the fact that
he is considered weak against south
paw pitching.
