Brunswick venue auditorium.
Messrs. Lowenkopf and Levin, of the
Perth Amboys, have booked the Ma
tional Turner's. champions of New
ark, to engage their state cham
pions on this date.
Followers of the great pinewood
court sport are well aware that the
Bruce street representatives, always
one of the strongest quintets in New
ark, have been a leading contender
for state honors for many years.

Point Pleasant looked like win

a runner on third. Another error
by Norcross allowed the third run
ner to come over. This ended the
run getting for Point Pleasant.
Jamesburg put on their big rally
in then sixth inning that put the
game on the winning side. Singles
by j. Timberman and Breckwedel
put two on. Norcross was out when
he attempted to bunt safely on the
third strike. Holtz was hit by the

Conover, whose batting has featured
the game here, came across with a
double and scored three runs, reach
ing third on the hit. Morgan sir
gled and scored Conover. Brown
struck out and Morgan advanced
to third base. Wellman's timely
single put Morgan home for the
fifth run of the inning. Vincent
Timberman struck out, retiring the
side.
Jamesburg put in an inexperl-

Ed. "Blackie" Regain, of Water
street, added to his seasons laurels
oy playing a most important part in
he pennant series won by the Dan
vile, Va, nine. of the Piedmont
League. Danville beat Greensboro
Tour straight games in this post
season series, Greensboro having won
the first half title and Regan's ag-
gregation carried off the bacon in
he second half game.
The series was opened at GreenS-
boro in North Carolina and South
paw Wilson had an easy time tam
ing the home club. AT the conclu-
sion of nine innings of play, DAN
vile had thirteen runs as against
i've for the opposition. In this con-
test, Regain made a double, single
and a sacrifice in four official trips
to the plate, and stole three bases.
Regain, the speed demon of the
Piedmont circuit, actually won the
second game for the T-obacconists by
his sensational base-running. 1t
was necessary to play ten innings
in order to decide this tilt, which
also was played at Greensboro. The
Danville center fielder hit safely after
two men were down in the tenth,
stole second, and registered the win
ming run on Manager Murphy's
double. Regan's run made the score
SIS in favor of Danville.
The popular Water street athlete
had another hammer day in the third
game, the first of the series played

HUGMEN COUNT
ON MOUND ACES
Jones and Pennock Will Lead
Yankee Attack in
Series

Around the pitching of Sam Jones
and Herb Pennock, Miller Higgins
of the New York Yankees, is pinning
his hopes to defeat the New York
Giants in the coming worlds series.
The two moundsmen have estab-
lished a percentage for the aso
of about 700, a mark seldom set
since the pre-war days. Mound per-
formances of the right handler, ms
a no hit, no run contest, and the
following game, a two hit contest.
were a big help to the Hugmen in
their final drive for the pennant.
Pennock has been a consistent win
ner since the start of the season.
Jones probably will work against
the Giants in the series opener, and
Pennock may be called upon for the
second game. Boil Shawkey, Joe
Bush and Waite Hoyt have not pitch
ed up to their usual standard this
summer, and Carl Mays is about
ready to be discarded. If Jones and
Pennock work in the first and sec
ond games, they will be sent bacli
in the fifth and sixth games. Bush.
Is likely t work in the third con-
test, and Hoyt in the fourth, with
Shawkey ready for emergency duty.
Followers of the worlds cham
pion New York Giants, realize that
McGraw has little to boast of in the
way of pitchers, and the right end
of his infield is anything but strong.
Jack Scott, Jack Bentley and Artie
Nehf will bear the brunt of the
Giant pitching in the big series. The
McGrawmen are confident that they
will retain the worlds championship
title.

BILL ROPER


Coach of football, Princeton Uni
versity. In 1922 his indicated team
was victor over Yale, Harvard, and
Chicago.
There is a play in very commo
use sometimes called the drive off
tackle. Whenever this play is exc
cuted with even a remote degree of
precision and the offensive line gets
the charge on the defenders, even
for a moment, there will be a gain.
The play is so executed that two
men can be assigned to every de-
.ensive lineman involved, with two
nterferers left to take care of the
defensive end. This means that If
he play is to be stopped for less
han a two or three yard gain, n
inward must manage TO stop two.
This tackle thrust has in itsc-f an
Inherent strength not visible in any
-fther combination Of line plays, so
ong as the objective is rather a
nre, short gain than a possible long
me.
