Perth Amboy evening news., 1923-05-26

Conquerors of the Lincoln Giants,
the Richmond, Va. Colored Giants,
will combat the Perth Amboy Base
ball Association nine on the Raritan
Copper works field tomorrow after
noon. This is perhaps one of the
greatest baseball treats ever given
1.-The fans of this section of the. state.
Nm interesting diamond battle is
anticipated.
+ Fresh from a victory over the
Nativity Catholic Club of Philadel-
phia last Sunday, a combination
!. which holds a 14-4 victory over the
Meadowbrooks of Newark, the AM
Aoys are all set to prevent a defeat
which could be even more one sided
than the one dealt out by the Royal
Colored Giants, worlds colored
champions, several weeks ago. The
Richmonds are considered a shade
better than the Royals this season.
The probable line-ups:
Amboy Richmonds
Loeser, If. Perry. 3b.
Sosnow, SIS. Ramezas, CT.
Burnett, 3b. Womack, If.
McAuliffe, eff. North, ri.
Smith. lib. Pappetta, 1b.
Arthurs, 3b. Hobson, SIS.
Miller, IF. Giant, 2b.
Lidgate, c. Clark, c.
SDaugherty, p. Maynard, p.
Jensen, p. Moore, p.
This is the first time as far as can
be remembered. that a strong color
ed baseball nine vas brought from
the South to a field in this vicinity.
1t has always been said that the
greatest colored teams are in the
South and the Richmonds can be
depended on to give plenty of ac-
ton in the field and with the stick.
One of the features of a colored
booking is the exhibition given be-
fore the start of a game, the snappy
fielding performances keeping the
fans on the so for several minutes
before the start of a contest. The
Virginia nine is said to be II of the
best colored combinations in the way
Cd pre-game exhibitions.
Beat Lincoln Giants
\ The Richmonds hold a victory
poyer the Lincoln Giants, and also
? over the Norristown Professionals
and the Chester, Pa. combination.
The Lincoln Giants are one of the
strongest semi pro baseball teams in
this section of the country today and
play at home in New York City every
Sunday afternoon. The Norristown
and Chester teams are rated as two
of the strongest semi pro mines in
the East.
Daugherty is scheduled to start
against the negroes and Aicer Jen-
pen, well known local southpaw, will
nRlso be available for mound duties.
Jensen pitched great ball against the
Lincoln Giants, Royal Colored Giants
combinations of similar strength last
year and his acquisition by Business
Manager Ed Poulsen on this occa-
sion, is a wise move. Daugherty has
pitched great ball in two games
since coming to the local nine.
Maynard, the speed merchant of
the Richmond staff, probably will
start against Amboy with Carter,
Cooper, Moore or Gilroy ready for
relief work, and Clark or Smith
will do the receiving. The negroes
also will have at least one utility
.nielder and a utility outf1elder.
Lidgate To Catch
Behind the plate, the Amboys will
have hard hitting Gene Lidgate who
made a real impression on the fans
here last Sunday. He is a peppery
backstop and a good batter. The re-
mainder of the lineup will be the
same as last Sunday with the ex-
ception of Harold Arthurs of Eliza
beth, who will perform at third base.
Arthurs played here with the Wash
ington Americans two seasons ago
and last season with the Red Bank
