Sunday the series will be ended.
Just what battery will represent

POLICE
IN SPECIAL co
Play for Convention DeIega-
ton at Elizabeth Tomorrow
Afternoon

As a special feature for their state
p. b. A. convention week program,
the Elizabeth police have decided on
staging another Amboy-Elizabeth
police contests at Pearl or Tabs oval
in Elizabeth, tomorrow afternoon.
The annual series between the two
teams was ended last Thursday aft
ernoon, Elizabeth again winning hon
ors. Three out of o contests were
COPIED b ythe Betsytown law n
forcers.
The convention program for this
wear is minus the annual parade, n
of the leading events. For the last
time, g. parade was held at Paterson,
the convention seat last year, as the
officials of the state association de-
cided to do away with it for good.
Today the delegates from every To-
cal in the state, meet at the armory
to make plans for the ensuing year,
and tomorrow they will have nothing
to do, so Manager Pete Buckley, OF
the Elizabeth police nine, has de-
cided to stage another police con-
test. Next year other departments
in the state will give more time 70
athletics, as the Elizabeth, Westtlela
and local departments are doing,
Athletic meetings of this KIND
through which the men of the dill
ferent departments become acquaint-
ed, aid the law enforcers consld-
erably.
For tomorrow's game, the two
teams are expected to line UP in reg
ular fashion. Amboy has a team
equally as good as Elizabeth, but in
this seasons games, the local blue
coats were too big-hearted to win
The last two contests should nave
been easy victories for Seiboth's men.

Nally was pitted against Bob Lake,

Messrs. Lowenkopf and Levin, of
the Perth Amboys, will put their
basketball tossers through a stiff
practice session on the New Bruins
wick avenu Auditorium court to-
morrow night in final preparation for
the opening of the basketball season
here on Saturday night.
In the opening tilt the state cham
pions are to take on the National
Turner's, Newark's strongest court
combination. The Turner's opened
their 1923-24 campaign last Sunday
by downing the colors of the strong
Original Crescents.
The Crescents have Freddy Dor

of the leading basketeers in the
metropolitan district in their lineup,

test gives an idea of the present con-
dition of the Bruce street courtsters.

Vile, Va, where he played with the
Piedmont league champions. Ed
Regain, of this city, also played with
the Danville diamond team.
For Saturday nights battle the
Amboy lineup will be chosen from
Hank Thomas, "Blackie" Regain,
Ray Handerhan, Pete Hansen, Pete
Eggers and dewey Schwankert.
All of these men will be out for to-
morrow nights practice.
Judging the games put up by the
Turner'S last year the local moguls
are taking quite a chance opening up
with the strong Newark team.

the refereeing in all Saturday night
games on the New Brunswick av"1He

Bob Shawkey, veteran red shirt
hurler of the New York Yankees,
has not enjoyed any too successful a
season with the Hugmen this sum-
mer, and if he does not succeed
Miller Higgins as the leader of the
New York Americans next spring
will pass to some other major league
club as a manager, in the opinion of
baseball critics.
Shawkey pitched good ball last
season and early this year but dur
ing the last month or o the old
confidence in the ability of the vet
eran was lacking. The former Ath-
letic pitcher has been a big help to
Higgins this season and last, and
some fans are of the opinion that
Shawkey is the real leader of the
American league champions.
AS Pennock, Jones, Bush and Hoyt
are considered the best bets on the
Yankee staff at the present time, it
is not likely that Bob, the Cob" will
be given a chance to start in the big
series which gets under way next
afternoon. One thing is
in Shawkey's favor, however, and

Hanks" court career started
back in 1911, when the dark haired
lad then hailing from North Am
boy, made the Freshman five at the
local High School. Since that day
about twelve years ago., the popular
basketeer has worked for the sue
cess of the pinewood floor sport, and
today he is recognized as one of the
leading basketball men in the East
ern section of this country.
His first start outside of school
was obtained with the crack Iroquois
team organized by Phil Payne, one
time local sport leader and today
connected with a leading metropoli-
tan newspaper. After the Iroquois,
Thomas played with the Ashlands
and the Puritans, and all the time
he was rapidly advancing to the
front.
With the Riversides, of this city,
and South Amboy, Thomas gained
his first semi pro court experience,
and then followed his sensational
year with the Auditorium five, of
Louis "PoX'' Booz.

 TIME WINNING IN GAME WITH CARDS
Cy Williams Hits His Thirty second Homer And Ties
 Ruth's Mark

Coming along with a rush in the ninth inning, the St. Louis Cardinals scored three runs, tied the giants and forced Fridays critical game into II innings before the Giants were able to score one more run and win the game, to 1. This hard d-earned winning of the champions on their own lot under Coogan's bluff, main tained their lead of three full games over the Cincinnati Reds, who like wise were winning, and with snuch less difficulty, in Brooklyn. Adolfo Luque, the Cuban pitcher of the Reds, held the Dodgers to four hits and shut them out, 4 to 0.
 The Pirates also hil1ed right along in pursuit of the world champions, beating the Braves in Boston, to 2. The Cubs lost to the Phi1lies in Phila- delphia, 6 to 5. Cy Williams of the Phillies spanked out his thirty-sec- tied Babe Ruth's standing in this line of work.
 The Yankees who had been having serious difficulty with the Tigers in Detroit, turned on the Cats Friday and beat them, to l. One of the largest scores of the year was rolled up against the Indians in Cleveland. The Senators beat them 20 to 8, scoring their runs in patches of three, four and five. The Athletics won from the White Sox in Chicago, 3 to 2.
 A sudden burst of speed in the last half of the ninth inning enabled the St. Louis Browns to score a pair of runs and win their game from the Red SoX, to 5.

COLE APPOINTED AS ASSISTANT TO
 PITTS AT AUBURN
Albion College Man Signed To Help Coach Plains
 men Teams

MONTGOMERY, Ala, August 24.- Following the announcement of Roy Dimmitt, director of student activ- ities at Auburn, of the appointment of H. R. Cole of Albion college, Mich igan, as assistant coach to head Coach "Boozer" Pitts, interest in the 1923 Plainsmen under a new regime took a decided jump among Tiger sup porters throughout the south.
 Coach Cole comes to Auburn from one of the best teams n the Michigan intercollegiate Athletic association. where he has been for the past few years assistant football and head baseball coach. Cole was selected after a thorough canvass of the field, and has been rated by Hurry Up" Yost, University of Michigan mentor, under whom he studied coaching, was the best in the entire lot of 150 under his tutelage. Yost was unstinting in his recommendation of Cole to the Auburn authorities.
 This appointment completed the Plainsmen coaching staff. In Head Coach Pitts, assistant to Mike Dona- hue the past three seasons. the Tigers claim to have one of the brainest coaches in the south. "Boozer' made his advent in coaching circles a num~ Der of years ago when he built up team at Tech High. Atlanta, that gained national notice. His friends say he has a sound, analytical mind that fastens upon and sizesup situ- alton in a flash, and that his past coaching experience eminently fits him to fill Mike Donahue's shoes.
 Cob" Wilson, line coach of the '22 Tigers, will report for his second season at Auburn on September l. Cob" entered a connubial agree ment with @ Lansing, Mich., girl on August 25, and the couple will make their permanent home in Auburn.
 "Kirk" Novel;, '22 freshhan coach. and Wilbur Hutselle, trainer of the '22 clan, will both be on hand when the first practice is called on Sep tember 10. Kirk" is one of the cleverest members of the coaching staff and last year developed four freshies who are expected to land varsity berths this season. He will resume his attention of the first year men and probably be called up 10 help Coach Cole with the varsity backs.
 Wilbur Hutselle, physical education director at the Alabama Polytechnic Institute. will do all of the training of the squad. His work last year was to a, large degree responsible for the good physical condition of the Plains men, few of them suffering injuries of long duration.
 The year 1923 is a crucial one for future athletics at Auburn, and her long standing prestige among soutn- ern football teams rests to a ial s1 evten+ upon what success the new coferie of coaches will have with an uncertain amount of gridiron maN terial,

Miss Bauer And Robert SkeIton Lower American
 Aquatic Records

INDIANAPOLIS, August 24.--IWo American records, the 100 yards back stroke for women and the 22O-yard breast stroke for men--were estaD- lished in the nauonal sWlAmihs championships here today, according to announcement made hy A. A. U. officials in charge of the contests.
 Application for recognition as a worlds record also will be made for the 22O yards breast stroke for women as a result of the performance of Miss Ruth Thomas of Atlantic City in that race, it also <Jas stated.
 The American records were set by Miss Sybil Bauer of Chicago, who clipped a fifth of a second off her own mark for the 100-yard back stroke, and Robert Skelton, also of Chicago, who bettered the old time for the 220-yards breast stroke by two seconds. Miss Bauer's time to- day was 1:15 4-5. Skeletons time was S:06 3-5. Officials indicated they might apply for recognition of Miss Bauer's performance as 8 world rec ord in a 110-yard still water tank. Miss Thomas, who came here as the national womens junior 220-yard breast stroke champion, won the like event for senior women hand1ly in 3:5O3-5. It was said there was no record posted for the distance for a pool having only one turn, and that application for recognition of the performance as worlds record would be filled. Miss Edna O,Donnell of Chicago was second. and Miss Eu- genie Heise, Uniontown, Pa, was third.
 Miss Bauer also showed such speed in her record breaking back stroke swim that her rivals found it hard to give her a contest. Aileen Riggin, New York, was second, and Ethel Me- Gary, also of New York, was third.
 Another sparkling performance was given by Miss Gertrude Ederle of New York, when she came within a fifth of a second of the worlds record for 50 yards, free style.

Miss Florence Moore, 13-year- old Indianapolis girl, won the contest from Miss Sybil Lytel of Leesburg, Ind, by a sprint in the final 100 yards, after having been in the rear from the start. The time was 42:47 2-5. There were no other starters.
