Three-M baseball league contest, and
the opening engagement of the aft

HONAN RUNOR
Gossip in Boxing Circles is
That Waiter May Return
to Ring

Boxing fans in this vicinity are
talking a great deal of late in re-
gard to the report that Joe Honan,
the great conditioner of today, Is
planning a comeback.
The Fighting Waiter" as the
game little boxer was known during
his boxing days, made a great rec
ord in Staten Island and local rings.
During the great war. when he serv-
ed with the American forces in Eu-
rope, he continued his sensational
ring performances.
Honan, now a resident of Totem
Vile, spends the better part of his
time in the local Y. NJ. c. A. each
day, conditioning local business men.
BY conditioning others, he has been
successful in keeping, in the pinl9
of condition, and there are many OF
the opinion that the waiter" can
still hold his oWn with the best men
in his class, hereabouts.
The "waiter" was a big attraction
in this city and IN Staten Island
a good many years ago, and he has
been successful IN retaining his
great popularity since retiring from
the roped arena.
Two smokers are being planned for
this city during the next two months,
and local boxing enthusiasts are
working for the establishment of a
fight club here. 1t is probable that
Honan may be put on the card for
one of these shows.

An agreement was reached yes
tel Jay afternoon by Manager Cert
zen, of the Plainfield R~ecreations
and Manager Poulsen. of the Perth
Amboys, for a meeting of the two
great rivals at Pearl Oval Eliza
beth, this Sunday afternoon.
Earlier in the season an effort was
made to get the two teams together
for a series of five games, but the
Plainfield leaders used as an excuse
the presence of Pete Burnett, for
merly of the Recreations, on the
Amboy roster. Burnett recently de-
parted from the local ranks to lead
the Red Bank Orioles in the Mon
mouth county league but he plays
Saturday ball with the Poulsen club.
The R%ecreations were the great
est attraction for the local field last
summer, and the failure of Manager
Poulsen to book the team for this
season, has cost him a great deal.
This season the Recreations have
been playing at Elizabeth on Sunday
and in Plainfield on Saturday. A
carnival is in Plainfield this week
and this accounts for the decision
to play on the Betsytown diamond.
For Saturdays contest the Rec
reations will use Artie Teuscher on
the mound Frank Hand behind the
plate and Wiley, Shriner, Martin

work. That series earned for him a
big league trial with Cleveland.
Without any professional expert
ence, having seer no service in the
minor leagues, Uhle stepped right
into the big show and delivered. He
gave such promise in the spring
training and later in regular games,
that the Cleveland club never for a
minute considered farming him out.
George Uhle in one jump went
from the sandlots of Cleveland to the
big league and made good.
What is a young pitchers greatest
asset? was the query I recently put
to Uhle.
Control Is Greatest Asset
Control is any pitchers greatest
asset" he instantly replied.
Until a pitcher acquires control,
he cannot learn how to pitch"
There is a pitching sermon in that
statement of Uhle's.
without control the player who
aspires to pitch is merely a thrower.
No matter how much stuff a pitcher
has. it gets him nothing unless he
can get the ball over. It's worthless.
Control enables a pitcher 10 play
on a batter's weakness. 1t gives him
confidence to work on the batter,
knowing that in the pinch he can
get the fast one over
ITO any youngster who has pitch
Ing ambitions and a desire to make
the big show, I would say, get con-
troll first and the rest of the pitching
will come easy"

ARE {
To REORGAN|zE.
Crack Carteret Female Team
May Play Home Games
This Season

Plans are about complete for the
reorganization of the Roosevelt Gem
tiers girls basketball team of Car
teret. Miss Mabel King, who was
in charge of the team since organi-
cation, will have charge of bookings
during the 1923-24 season and it Is
tanned to take charge of practice
cnarSe while the team is in action.
according to present
ments the team will lineup in the
same fashion as last year-with the
possible exception of Miss Cecy
Brennan, who will cast her lot with
another quintet and e.. Bernhardt
who was married shortly after the
close of the 1929 campaign. The
present roster of the team is made
up of the Misses K. Robertson. e,
Shectman, 1. Schwartz, E. DunnsaHd
NJ. King. Another player will be OBJ
tanned before the season opens.
There is a possibility that the Gem
ters will have a home court during
the coming season and in addition
will play about the same number
OF travelling games as in former
years. The Centers were the female
representatives of the local Audi.oz
RUM court for two seasons.
During the past two years the
Centers put up a great battle for the
championship of the state being
nosed out twice by the Crack VII
mona team of Paterson. Miss Kings
cohorts will go out after the state
title again this winter.
Perth Amboy evening news., 1923-09-20

Seven years ago George Uhle was
pitching sandlot baseball in Cleve-
land.
Today George Uhle is the pitching
ace of the Cleveland Indians. He
leads the American League twirlers
in games won.
The rise of George Uhle to sud-
den fame in baseball outdoes the
diamond fiction of Frank Merriwell.
This hero of many a baseball yarn
became famous because of a So
called double twist. He did every
thing but make the ball talk.
While George Uhle lays claim to
no double twists in his pitching
repertory, American League batters
will tell you that he has something
on every ball he pitches. His stock
in trade consists of a puzzling fast
ball, a sharp-breaking curve, a teas
ing slow ball and a deceptive change
of pace.
That is enough for any pitcher,
say the leading batsmen of the
American League.
Began Career at is
Uhle is 25 years of age. While he
has been playing ball since a kid, he
figures that his career really started
at Is. He dopes it that way because
It was the first time he wore a regu-
lar uniform and played on a club in
which every athlete was arrayed in
the same kind of a suit. Prior to
that time his baseball outfit consisted
of little more than a glove and usual
ly not a very good one at that.
While the fact is not generally
known, Uhle as a y%oungster asplred
to be a catcher. He played h a posi-
ton as a kid. Not until nine years
ago did he ever pitch a ball. The pos
SCISSOR of a great arm, he was urged
to pitch a game one day when i'll
ness made it impossible for the regu-
lar twirler to do his stuff. He won
his game, did a good job of it and
has been pitching V e since.
Starred ON the Sandlots
For four years Uhle pitched for
any number of amateur clubs in and
around Cleveland. He was always
open for a pitching engagement. Soon
his good work in the box began to
receive favorable mention in the
press. Every now and then the
sandlotter Uhle would turn in some
pitching feat that got his name into
the headlines.
Then came the turning point ir
his baseball career. He was signed
for a tryout with the Standard Parts
| team of Cleveland, a fast semi-pro-
fessional club, representing a bis
manufacturing concern making autt
parts.
He made good in his very frs
start and throughout the season
pitched remarkable ball. On thi
team were several former big League
stars. They touted Uhle as a majo.
league possibility.
Made Good First Year
At the close of that season h
pitched several games for tn
Standard Parts against a team o
major league stars and did grea

HIGHLANDS STILL AFTER
CONTEST WITH ORIOLES

Anton Macy, manager of the High
lands baseball nine, of this city. in
a letter to the News today stated
that his team is deserving of a SER
les with the Orioles for the cham
pionship of the city.
The Highlands manager claims
that, although the Orioles defeated
the Highlands early in the season
by scores of 2O-6 and 1872, his team
has been reorganized since that time
and as the two teams have defeated
all the leading ~contenders, a series
should be arranged between them.
Macy also adds that since the reor-
ganization of MS team, the orioles
seem to be side stepping his chal-
.lenges.
