SURPRISE
CROWD BY HOLDING
PERTH AMBOYS CLOSE

Fans who went to Nielsen Field,
New Brunswick, yesterday afternoon
to see the first contest of the Middle
Sex county baseball championship
series between the Perth Amboys Of
this city and the Landings of New
Brunswick, witnessed as big an up
set as did the handful of fight ia s
at the Shelby, Mont. arena yesterday.
The Landings of New Brunswick,
a combination which barely nosed
out the Carteret Field club q short
time ago, held the Amboys u a 3-2
in this contest which was call
ed in the seventh inning on account of
rain. The visitors were on the long
end of the score !,
Cariello, a southpaw pitcher, said
to be from Lowell, Mass. did the
hurting for the New Brunswickers,
and Weller. "a shortstop, were the
only extra men in the Landing ranks
for this contest. Judging the records
of the two teams for the season., the
TENS played and the results, Amboy
should have won easily yesterday.
Reggie, of South Amboy, recently
with the Durham, N. c. team in the
Piedmont circuit, was on the hill for
the Amboys and held the home club
to three hits, one a home run by E.
Harkins. Bergen and L. Harkins
made the other safeties for the home
team.
1t was Mickey Losers bat which
enabled the Amboys to bring home
the bacon in this engagement, his
triple accounting for the winning
runs. The left gardener also count
ed a single. and the visitors made
four other hits, two by Rudy, one
for Burnett and the sixth by Rog-
gle.
Lynch was behind the bat for Ann
boy in place OF Lidgate, and showed
up in real fashion. The new back
stop made two running catches of

WET GROUNDS PREVENTS
MAURER- CATHOLIC CONTEST

Owing to wet grounds at the Rari-
tan Copper works field yesterday
afternoon Manager Urbanski's Maur-
er Athletic Association nine was un-
able to play the fast Plainfield
Catholic baseball combination. 1t
is probable that these two teams
will meet in this city at a later date.
O'Keefe, n of Georgetown coll
lege's first string twirlers was ex-
pected to be on the mound for the
Plainfield outfit, while Kyle was
scheduled to do the receiving. For
the Maurer team Max Wagonhoffer
was to do the mound work and
Johnny Parsler was to take care Of
the work behind the plate. A series
is likely to be arranged between the
two teams. Maurer was beaten by
Plainfieid recently.

tests But Pirates Beat

The New York Yankees gained
another game in the American
league race yesterday by coping
two contests from the Washington

that Pittsburgh likewise won two

gagements yesterday. Brooklyn won

Showing OF CHI
Gibbons Great SM
Receives Ret

Fistic circles are alive today with
gossip concerning the heavyweight
championship bout at Shelby yester-
day afternoon in which Tom Gibbons
managed to remain the full fifteen
rounds 18th the present champion,
Jack Dempsey. 1t was the first
time a boxer stayed the scheduled
number of rounds with Dempsey,
since he became champion. Referee
Dougherty awarded the bout to the
champion at the close of the final
session.
The fighting st. Paul battler SEEM
ingly took everything the champion
had and only once did Dempsey send
him away as a result OF punishment.
A number Of times Gibbons backed
away or danced around. but this is
believed to have been due to his de-
sire to have the champion miss
punches.
While Gibbons did not receive a
cent for his end, he left the ring with
a moral victory and most assuredly
will be given a second crack at the
crown Of the champion. The crowd

Only four of the scheduled ten
races were run off yesterday after
noon at the American Legion ac-
quatic meet. Lack of contestants
no doubt due to the ~unfavorable
weather conditions caused Allen to

full of pep and further brought out
that A. Clayton Clark, Jr., star Y.
