TWILIGHT co
Messrs. Enrich and RomeT
Should be Successful in
Running Aquehongas

Walter Enrich, business manager
of the Aquehonga baseball team OF
TottenvilIe, announced thia morning
that the Eagles. the strong colored
team of pleasant Plains, will cross
bats with the Tottenville represent
ative nine in a twilight encounter or
the Aquehonga field tomorrow even
ing.
The Eagles have been playing good
ball so far this season and with prac-
tically the same lineup, put up q
great game against the Aquehongas
last summer. 1t is said that an out
side battery will be hired for tomor-
row nights contest by the Pleasant
Plains negroes.
Last Sunday afternoon, the first
day of Messrs. Romer and Emrich's
reign, the weather man interfered
with what was expected to be an in
teresting contest. Two and half
Innings of scoreless ball were played
by the Aquehongas and Vikings OF
Port Richmond. and as a result OF
the successful showing made by the
Port Richmond representatives, this
team has been re-booked for next
Sunday.
Crate, former Huguenot pitcher,
probably will occupy the mound for
the home club in the twilight en-
counter, while Field Manager Romer
will handle the mound duties in
Sundays battle. The remainder OF
the lineup will be the same as was
used last Sunday.
There was a big turnout for sun
days tilt, possibly the biggest so far
this season. and the fans of old are
confident that the Aquehonga team
under the leadership OF Romer and
Enrich, will draw well for the bal
ance of the season.
Using good judgment the new Tot
tenville leaders called off the first
game Of the important series with
the Perth Amboys. which was sched-
uled for this Sunday, Field Manager
Romer wants to be sure that his
combination can hold its own with
the Amboys and this will be known
possibly in a week.
