ct Field Club, J. Donahue was chos-
en- field manager of the travelling
semi-pro combination of the borough
for the coming summer and T. Gin
da was named captain.
This team formerly known as the
Roosevelt Field Club will engage
all of the leading semi-pro outfits
in this state and also the Metropoli-
tan district. In former seasons the
borough baseball organization wal
one of the leading contenders for the
championship of Middlesex county
and the present leaders of the team
are confident it will regain its old
position this year.
Several neav faces will be seen in
the lineup of the Carteret Club,
Field Manager Donahue has an
nounced. The booking will be taken
care of by T. j. Donahue, who can
be reached by calling Roosevelt,
375-W.
1t is not known whether Carteret
will be represented in semi-pro cir
Giles by a team playing at home this
season but there is a possibility that
the Donahue nine will stage home
contests before the ciose of this base
ball term.
The Carteret Field Club would
like to encounter the Columbians OF

COUNTY HIGH SCHOOL TEAMS CLASH THIS EVENING
CeIticS Play AmbOyS
Return Game Here
TONIGHT

One week from tonight the Orig
inal Celtics, acknowledged worlds
champion basketball quintet, will
make their second appearance in
his city at the new. Auditorium
when they encounter the Perth Am
boy Five.
The local representatives lost the
initial clash, after putting up as
c.ever an exhibition during the first
nalf as has ever been witnessed on
2 local court. Jack Cremmins oe-
cupied the pivot position in this
lame, while Harry Davis, the locals
regular centerman performed at
guard, where he displayed consid-
trable class. The Anlboy outfit was
greatly crippled, due to the absence
vi Pete Hanson n Willie Marion.
Captain "Hank'' Thomas will
nave the assistance OF three six
Hfooters" against the Celtics; Jack
a ;remmins, who stands six feet three
inches teaming up with "Hank'' at
forward; Stretch" Meehan, a six
feet seyen-inch man, and reputed to
be the best center in the country,
will jump against Horse" Hagarty,
while Harry Davis, who also looms
up above the six-foot mark, will no
doubt preform at Guard with either
Pete Hanson or Dewey Schwankert.
Willie Marion will also be ready to
go in at forward, and with this ar
ray of speed and class the local
management expects to avenge it's
previous defeat.

STARF|SH HAVE
A REAL CHANCE
Can Beat Out IroncIadS for
Second Halt Honors in
League

There is little interest in the
National-Pacer bowling match on
the Elks alleys tonight because of
the fact that these two combinations
are out of the running for the sec-
ond half championship of the local
ElkL league. The result of to-
nights clash will, however, have
something to do with the final occu-
pan. of the cellar berth for which
the Sterlings and PAGERS are tied at
present.
Second half honors rests between
the Ironclad and Starfish teams, the
former leading by aSmargin of two
and a half games. On Friday night
of this week the Starfish engage the
PAGERS, and on Monday night of next
week the important match on the
second half schedule will be played,
This set will bring together the
Ironclad and Starfish combinations.
An idea of the interest In the
Elks bowling league can be obtai ned
from the scores rolled in the match
between the Madisons and Ironclads
on Monday night. The IroncIads
Won the final two games of this
match and in this way were enabled
TO Increase their lead a half game.
The first half championship of TINS
league was won by the Madisons
after a playoff set with the Sta,-
nsh. In two weeks time a pIayosf
match will be arranged between the
first and second half winners to de-
clde the championship for the sea-
son.
Perth Amboy evening news., 1923-04-04

The Original Celtics will take the
floor with its regular lineup. The
speedy forwards, Nat Holman and
Johnny Beckman, will be the scor-
ing aces for the CeItics; Horse"
Hagarty will occupy his usual pivot
position, while Chris Leonard and
Witty or Barry, will endeavor to
hold propensities of the local for
wards to nil. Moving pictures will
be taken of this tussle and dis
played at the Dituas and Crescent
THEATRES.
JUNTO BIG FIVE SATURDAY
The same lineup that will go into
action against the Celtics with the
probable exception of Meehan will
take the floor against the Junto
Big Five at the new Auditorium
court this Saturday night. The
Junto clan handed the locals a bad
trimming at New York City a few
weeks ago by a twelve point margin
and the Auditorium performers are
DESTROYS of evening matters up be-
fore they go against the Celtics.

been held back this season from
progressing into ranks of the "top-
notchers" by poor scheduling. Of
games. The record of the Amboy
high school team was not impressive
on account of the lack of suitable
opposition.
The players wished to vindicate
themselves and as a result took it
upon themselves to run an indie
pendent game. After looking
around for a real" team to hook
up with their attention was focused
to tho county seatefs by their splen-
did record in the state tournament
and against high schools herea-
bouts. The result of the evening"
encounter should clearly tell
whether or not Perth Amboy high
| school is ready to invade the ranks
of the so-called larger group schools

ty championship to the South River
| quintet in a two out of three games
%eeries, the county seat representa-
tives losing the deciding game by
one point. The stsong Clifton High
school team. which held the cham
pion Passaic team to q two-point win
and played Crosby High at Connecti-
cut, fell before the onslaught of the
strong Blue and White passers,

schools were among those defeated,
