A button box is apt to be a great
nuisance, as II fills rapidly and it is
nard to find Just what you want. A
better way is to run the buttons on

1t Is easy to find what you want and

HIGGINS OUT
AFTER TITLE
VIII Lead Yankees to First
Worlds Championship in
Big Series

A victory for the New York Yam
KEGS in this years series with the
New York Giants, will make the po-
sition of Miller Higgins, as manager
of the American League team, Sc
cure for a good many years. If the
team is beaten for the worlds cham
pionship again, a different story may
be told.
The midget manager has given the
New York American League club
three pennantS in q row, the first
league victories ever credited to this
organization. Last year and the year
before, the Giants COPIED honors in
their league and defeated their fell
low townsmen in the October classic.
Everything has changed in the
Yankee camp this season. Babe
Ruth is in condition, Carl Mays is
about satisfied to remain with the
club and Higgins is the boss. Dur
ing 1921 and 1922, Higgins had a
hard time handling his high priced
athletes and several bosses helped
the team very little.
There was something wrong in the
worlds series of last year, especially
in the use of the pitchers. Higgins
will work his best men only this year
and in addition, will play the Nc
Graw brand of ball, working for one
run. The Yankees failed to do this
in the two former series and as a re-
suit, lost many one and two con-
tests.
Huggins has a better chance than
ever to bring a worlds champion
ship to the American League club
this season.
Perth Amboy evening news., 1923-10-03
VETERAN HURLER MAY
LEAD YANKEE TEAM
DURING NEXT SEASON

that is the fact that he held the
Giants to a 3-3 tie in the second
game of last seasons annual classic.
The veteran was not given a chance
to start in. any of the remaining
three games.
Bush, Hoyt, Shawkey, Jones and
Mays were the pitchers used by the
Hugmen in last years series, and
Pennock, a southpaw, was added to
the roster this season. In addition
the Yankees have one Or two de-
pendable relief hurlers.
There will be several changes in
the management of American league
baseball clubs for next season, and
baseball fans r well satisfied that
Shawkey deserves a managerial
berth. If Higgins fails in the coming
series he may pass from the Yankees
for winning a pennant is not all, in
the opinion of the magnates and
players.
Shawkey has been a big help to
the New York Americans during the
past several season. The Cob was
brought into the American league by
Connie Mack, of the Philadelphia
Athletics.

By a margin of forty points, the
team was beaten in a return shoot
with the Westfield five on the new
Convery place range yesterday af-
ternoon. The Westfield team also
copied honors on its own range two
weeks ago.
In the rapid fire shooting, the To-
cal representatives defeated the OPP
position. Amboy compiled a total
of 299 points, as against 2S4 for the
Union county pluecoats. Frank Sci

tain Barney G. Toolan, of the home
club, was third high, having shot rs.
Amboy vas somewhat off form in
the slow fire event, totalling 395
points as against 440 for Westfield.
Montrose made "a and Miller, SO
for the victors, while Toolan and
Seiboth tied for local honors with
So points apiece.
Inasmuch as Chief Tonnesen was
in Trenton on official business yes
terday, there was ne special shoot.
The local chief and police heads of
Westield and Crawford, battled for
honors at Westield two weeks ago,
and Chief Tonnesen won.
