taken in the preliminary arrange
ments for the league. Local games
probably will be played on the Rar-
itan Copper Works field.

ARCONNE MATCH
Bill Douglass of Elizabeth to
Roll Howard Richards
Here Tonight

Bill Douglass, one of the strongest
opponents of frankie Seaton for the
Elizabeth city individual bowling
championship, will engage in a ten
game match with Howard Richards
on the Argonne alleys, Hobart street
tonight. Seaton was originally sched-
uled to roll here but failed to appear
for the first ter games on the Re-
creation alleys at Elizabeth on Tues
day night.
Richards went to the Elizabeth
alleys on Tuesday night in possession
of plenty of confidence for the first
ten games of his twenty game match
with the Elizabeth champion. Sea-
ton recently defended his title in a
match with Al. Weber. another Eliz-
abeth bowling star. Seaton failed to
put in an appearance for the first
half of his match with Richards and
no reason for his non-appearance
was given.
The Amboy bowling star there
fore took on Bert Brookett who is
| rolling Seaton at Elizabeth tonight.
and succeeded in defeating him by
, a margin of sixty seven pins. There
are some followers of the great in
door game in elizabeth who believe
! that Brookett will defeat Seaton in
the match tonight.
Douglass is n better ma than
Brookett and an int :es;lug battle
is looked for on the Hobart street
alleys 1t is proboble that the match
with Seaton will be rolled next week
the first ten games on the Elizabeth
alleys.

Is 1928 to see a new home-run
king crowned?
Is Rogers Hornsby, the man VINO
dethroned Babe Ruth, destined to
hold his Iaurels only n short year /.
Fred williams, better known as
Cv. who cavorts in the outfield Tor
the lowly Phillies, is the latest atm
lete to aspire to the slug title.
Babe Ruth in setting his marx OF
50 home runs in 1921 averaged a
home run a trifle better than every
third game. That in itself is a most
remarkable feat. I doubt IL II Is
eve equaled.
Williams, however, is hot on the
trail of the Ruth record, and IN the
first 81 games played he has I
done the remarkable performance OF
the Yankee star.
Thirteen home runs in % games Is
the record hung up by Williams oW-
ing the first three weeks of play.
Hot on Ruth's Trail
In compiling his first dozen nome
run clouts, Williams on May II, IN
the game with the st. Louis Car
dinais, jumped his mark from nine
by clouting out three home runs IN
five times at bat. In so doing ne
tied the modern record for home
runs in a major league game, first
made by Ken Williams Of the St
Louis Browns and later equaled by
Walter Henline of the Phillies.
It is rather singular that Cy VII
liams of the Phillies and Ken wal
liams of the Browns should now be
showing the way in the two majors
as far as home-run hitting is con-
cerned.
While always a hard hitter it was
not until last season that Williams
began to win fame as a fence-buster.
