LOOK
THRU RECORDS
Stunt of Making Three
Homers in Three COnsecu-
tive Innings Responsible

Critics are searching all baseball
books available to see if the record
set by George Kelly, first sacker of
the New York Giants, at Chicago on
Monday afternoon, when he clouted
out three home runs in three success
sive innings, was ever made before.
The nearest to 1t, according to
present records. was in 1921 when
Ken Williams, of the st. Louis
Browns, hit three home runs in a
single game against the Chicago
Americans. The circuit clouts were
divided through the contest and
were not made one inning after an
other as in Kelly's case.
Among the old time records 1t is
found that Bobby Lowe of Boston
and Ed Delehanty made home runs
each in a single contest. Lowe set
the record in 1894 and Delehanty
tied same two years later. 1t is not
probable that they were made in
consecutive innings.
As Kelly is a member of a rival
New York nine, Babe" Ruth, of the
New York Yankees, who has a desire
to beat all records, will try for
Kelly's mask before the present sea-
son ends. The Giant first sacker has
been hitting at a consistent pace all
summer, but is not in the running
for the major league home run hit
ting crown.
Many home runs have been made
in the Chicago park this season.

RARITAN COPPER WORKS
SEASON ENDS SATURDAY

The deciding game of the Raritan
Copper-Dupont baseball series will
be played on the Raritan Copper
Works field Saturday afternoon,
Manager Marty Hurley of the Rari-
tan Copper team announced this
morning.
Saturdays contest will close the
season for the Ingots, and Manager
Hurley is DESTROYS of taking the
measure of the Parlin representa-
tives. The Ingots won the first game
of this series from the Parlin tossers
on the local diamond, and Dupont
won a hard fought battle on their
home field in the second contest.
duty for 25 years in the majors and
who umpired the game, has this to
say about it:
IF ever a pitcher worked a no-hit
game, Ehmke did against New York.
If ever an infielder made an error,
Shanks did on Wits grounder. 1t
was a great pitching exhibition that
will fail to get it's proper place in the
hall of fame, because the scorer
erred"
Bill Dinneen, former star pitcher,
now American League umpire, who
officiated in the game with Connolly,
said:
az have made lots of bad decisions
but never one that compared with
scoring Wits grounder to Shanks a
base hit. 1t was a bad error on an
easy chance"

made his safety.
The Barber team is in second
place at the present time and has a
real chance of coping the secen1
half championship. Hightstown is
leading the league at the present
time, and the Bash nine of Trenton
carried off first honors.
Amba< has a game coming from
the Hightstown nine for the local
diamond. Inasmuch as the Rights
town team is leading the league and
is having a real battle for konors
with the Barber outfit, the Nights
town management is a wee bit afraid
of Amboy on the local lot.
Near Season End
The local team may play three or
four more games on the local lot
before drawing the curtain for the
season Tottenville should be play
ed here once again and the deciding
game of the Dublin Glee Club series
probably will be arranged.
Local fans are still waiting for a
game between the R~ecreations of
PlainfeId and the Amboys. Record
crowds turned out for each meeting
of the two teams last summer.

NATIONALS At
TOTTENVLLE
LinoIeumville Forces Play
EmriCh'S Charges this
Sunday Afternoon

Walter Enrich, manager of the
Aquehonga baseball team, of Tot
tenville, announced this morning
that his aggregation will cross bats
with the Nationals, of Linoleumville,
Staten Island, on the Tottenville
grounds this Sunday afternoon.
1t is probable that Jack Doyle.
the New York semi-pro hurler, will
be sent to the mound to pitch the
Aquehongas to a victory which will
eliminate the Linoleumville nine
from the running for the island
championship. The Aquehongas have
eliminated a majority of the con-
tenders TO date.
Tottenville fans are a~ilxiously
awaiting the second game of the
series between the Amboys and
Aquehongas, which is carded for
the T~ottenville diamond two weeks
from this Sunday afternoon. The
contest here last Sunday was far
more interesting than the score
would indicate and Messrs. Enrich
and Romer are planning to make
some additions to their roster for the
next tilt.
The turnout for last Sundays
game on the local diamond, has sat-
isfied the TottenviIle and local mag
mates that a mistake was made again
this summer in not starting the big
series Don There is enough in
terest in the meeting of the two
teams for a five game series.
For Sundays game, the Aquehonga
team will take the diamond in regu-
lar fashion.

lection of b~alltossers from which to
choose his team, including Bill Shee-

Flynn and Pete McHerbert. Hoffman
probably will pitch against the blue

cides to pitch the bowling star, the
game will be started about 6 o'clock
in the evening as "Hoff" pitches best
when the moo shines.
Several seasons in the past the two

Highlands and Freehold in
First Place of Monmouth !
County League :.

The Freehold and Atlantic High-
land baseball teams are tied for first
place in the Monmouth county base
ball series. Local fans are Interests
ed in the outcome of this race as
several locaF men and former local
players are performing with the four
teams entered in this circuit.
Mickey 500 started on the mound
for the Norwoods of Long Branch in
a game with the Highlands last Sun
day. The latter outfit carried off
honors in this tilt after a battle
which lasted eleven innings. The
local southpaw pitched nine innings
and the defeat was credited to his
successor, Jensen of Bradley Beach.
Pete Burnett and Eddie Einhorn,
formerly of the Amboys, perform
with the Red Bank Orioles. the COM
tination which dropped a 40 en-
gagement to the Freehold nine last
Sunday. O'Gurk, the Freehold twirl-
er, allowed only two hits, both being
credited to Manuel of Keyport. Fox
and Einhorn comprised the battery
for the vanquished team. Burnett
/ handled six chances at second base
| but failed to hit in two official trips
to the plate.
Aicer Jensen, local s~outhpaw, is
| also a member of the Freehold nine.
Freehold is entered in the Three
County League of which Ed Poul-
sens Perth Amboys is a member.
In former seasons annual games
between the Norwoods, Freehold

thinking the great managers are not
the leaders who stick to a set style
of play, rather they do the unexpect-
ed. The successful pitcher of today
must have a change Of pace. That
goes for the manager as well. He
NUT mix up his play.
"a little happening that came up
in a recent game with the Cleveland
club made me respect Speaker all
the more as a manager. The Sox
managed to tie up the game and
force it into extra innings. Thurs
ton, a very effective relief pitcher,
was working for the Sox. He is a
particularly hard man to bunt on.
'Tn the thirteenth inning Joe Sc
well, the first man to face Thurston,
doubled to right. Obviously one
wouJl expect the next batsman to
bunt in an effort to get the runner
TO third. Stephenson, the next bat
ter, is not a great bunter. but how
he can whale that ball! Speaker
crossed every one up by having
Stephenson hit. He doubled down
the right field line, scoring Sewell
with the run that won the game.
Speaker didn't want to waste so
great a hitter as Stephenson with a
mere bunt. The bunch won the ball
game for Cleveland. A manager
must have plenty of courage and be
willing to stand criticism to attempt
the unusual in baseball. That is
why l regard Speaker a great mana
ger.
while 1 have never played
against Kid leaso as of
the opposing team, I want to say
there are few shrewder leaders than
my present boss"

Who are the greatest managers
you have played against in major
league baseball? When that ques-
ton was put to Eddie Collins, worlds
greatest second baseman, he replied:
1.-THE four greatest managers l
have ever played against are Connie
Mack, John McGraw, Bill Carrigan
and Iris Speaker.
Under Mack l learned most OF
the baseball that l know. As a de-
veloper of ball players, Mack is with
out compare. Mack is like a father
to his players. He treats everybody
with the greatest consideration. A
ball player who cannot get along
with Connie Mack and progress I'M
der his direction is simply impossi-
BILE.
After leaving the Philadelphia
club and coming to Chicago, I have
studied Connie from a different
angle, that of an opponent. In con-
sidering the great managers l have
played against 1 do not hesitate in
having Mr.. Mack head the list.
At regard John McGraw of the
New York Giants as another of the
truly greats. | have played in a
number of worlS series against the
Giants and in a great many exhibit
ton games.
Systems Differ Widely
"McGraw's system might be called
the direct opposite of Mack's, but
equally effective. McGraw domi-
mates the player, his word is final.
On the other hand Mack allows for
a certain amount of initiative, and
with a great many of his players
permits them to shift the play if
they consider it advisable.
II have always had the greatest
admiration for Bill Carrigan. l was
mighty sorry when he quit baseball.

PERKINS FINALLY STOPS
FLEETFOOTED COLLINS
BY 10 SERVICE

PHILADELPHIA, Sept. 19.-Cy
Perkins of the Philadelphia Ath-
letics is considered one of the best
catchers in either major league. AS
a matter of fact a number of ex-
perts consider him the premier back
stop Of the big show.
Perkins does everything well, but
no one thing better than throw. He
has a wonderful arm and gets the
ball away with unerring accuracy.
A number of the Philadelphia pitch
ers permit opposing runners to get
a big lead, but despite this Perkins
turns most of them back.
Eddie Collins of the Chicago
White Sox and George Sisler of the
Browns. who had been out of the
game all season because of eye trou-
Bile, are two of the best base runners
in the American League. There is
little to choose between them, yet
Sisler has always been easy for Per-
kins to throw out, while Collins has
been correspondingly tough.
Recently in a game between Chi
cago and the Athletics which
Mack's club won 8 to 2, Collins in
the eighth inning hit safely and a
moment later tried to steal second.
Pitcher Harris permitted him to get
away to a flying start, and only a
remarkable throw by Perkins made
n possible to get Collins at second
That throw just about saved the
game.
After the contest Perkins re-
marked. "Although I have been In
fhe American League a number Of
Years that is the first time | car
aver remember throwing out Eddie
Collins. 1t has always seemed thai
every time he started to steal on me
something always happened to make
fhe attempt successful. Throwing
Collins out today Is the first time
il my career. II my memory serves
me correctly, and / have been try
inu to do it for over a half dozer
years"
