SCHOOL TEAMS
PLAT At HOME
Local Girls and Boys Teams
on State Street Court
Tomorrow

Two basketball games IRE carded
for the Perth Amboy High School
court on State street tomorrow, one
in the afternoon and the second at
night.
The Princeton High School girls
team will furnish the opposition to
the local lassies in the fourth game
on the schedule of Miss Helen
Schultz, manager of the State street
sextet. This game will be played
in the afternoon. The local girls
have won one and lost two contests
to date.
A big turnout Is expected for the
game on the State street court to-
morrow night between the Perth
Ambcy and South Amboy High
School teams. As a result of the fact
that this is the first time in the his
tory OF the local school, that the local
team played on the State street court
at night and the fact that there is
great rivalry between the two schools
matched, a big crowd is expected
out.
The boys being coached by Coach
Robert s. Waddell have a winning
streak of seven games at the present
time and there is every reason to
believe that the boys from across the
river will make it No. 8.

Walsh.
Upset All Predictions
How Schalk had upset those pre-
dictions as well as baseball prece-
dent is revealed by u glance at the
American League averages.
In the fall of 1912 Schatk broke
into the Sox lineup and caught 20
games. His brilliant work won him
the position of first string catcher,
at the start of the 1913 campaign.
Sehalk in his first s tart proved
that 1t was an easy matter for him
to handle Walsh's deceptive splitter.
No catcher ever handled Walsh's de-
livery in better style.
In 1918, Schalk, the midget catch
er, pronounced entirely too small to
make good, worked in 1875 games.
Ever since, or for 10 consecutive
games.
Last Year His Best
The remarkable feature about
Sohalk's performance is that last
season he had the best fielding aver

handled over 1000 chances and made
only 126 errors.
"TAe only way you can keep

when I felt that he needed a rest.

ORIGINAL TROYS NOSED
OUT BY AMBOY FIVE
IN CLOSE GAME, 25.22

In a game featured by close
guarding the Perth Amboy Five
nosed out the fast Original Troy
quintet of Hudson county at the
local Auditorium last night by a
score Of 25 to %. This victory is the
twenty-second and gives the local
orlbblers a winning streak OF even
consecutive games.
The Original Troys got the jump
upon the local representatives when
Eggers, their center, made good a
foul try. Field goals by every man
on the visiting outfit put that clan in
the van. At one time the Troys lead
by seven points. Dewey" Schwan-
kert came through with two double
deckers while Pete Hanson found
time to locate the basket once in this
canto. Consistent foul shooting by
Davis and .Estrin kept the locals in
the running during this session
which ended with the Hudson county
courtsters leading by a 1913 score.
The Perth Amboy Five opened the
second half in such whSrlwind fash
ion that before two minutes had
elapsed they had taken the lead
from their opponents for the first
time during the night by caging
three field goals in quick succession.
Pete Hanson contributing two while
Harry Davis parted the shreds for
the other. There YER no further
field goals scored by either team dur
ing the balance Of the game.
The Original Troys were held
scoreless from the field but managed
to make good seven out of eleven
foul tries. The passing and floor
work of the local combination was
their redeeming feature while the
guarding of the visitors was superb.

A catcher able to stand the big
strain must be a husky athlete.
Such an impression existed for
years in major league circles. Big
league scouts seldom paid any atten-
ton to catching recruits who were
slight of stature.
Ray Scha1k, famous catcher Of the
Chicago White Sox, has for all time
upset that baseball precedent.
Schalk was secured by the White
Sox from Milwaukee in the fall OF
1912. I car wildly recall his major
league debut.
When Schalk Joined the Sox he
was a much press-agented young
man. Comiskey had paid something
like $4,000 for him. a fancy figure
in those days. When he reported to
the Sox he was given a careful once
