Baseball critics are wondering why
the Giant leader failed to start Nehf
in the opening game so hat he could
work at least two other contests in
this series. According to the ar
rangements made Nehf cannot work
in more than two contests.
Special interest is conferred In the
present series because of the fact
that both contests have been decided
by home runs.
The returns given by the News

delegations, and at the completion of
each game a baseball extra is pub

Coach Houland Glass, of South
Amboy high school, will detail
eleven men to W~hitehead's field to-
day where they will stack forces
against the football team of Atlantic
Highlands high school in what is eX-
pected to be an interesting tussle.
The South Amboy team have play
ed two games to date, under the
able supervision of Coach Glass, hav-
ing won tho first encounter from
Freehold by a $50 score, and los
ing to Lakewood, only because they
were outweighed by every man, by
a 80 tally. Coach Glass expects
his second victory to come today at
the expense of the team from Allan
tic Highlands.
Handicapped as he is with several
bits of raw material, the coach has,
to the surprise of football fans in
this vicinity, grooved out a splendid
aggregation. Coach Glass was an
instructor at Munroe, N. Y, high
school, where he sifted out a foot
ball combination that was a credit to
the school in addition to having been
n leading contender for the state
title.

liked in the cross-river city and,
thTough\his earnest work and ability
to make a winning team, is receiving
the hearty cooperation of the foot
ball team as well as the people of
South Amboy. Coach Glass played
at the center position of Ursanus
College football eleven for four con-
secutive years.
Following today's game about six
scheduled contests will be played by
the cross-riyer team, after which
Coach Glass will take upon his
shoulders the basketball team of
the South Amboy high school. Here,
it is believed, the coach will have
little trouble, as practically the
same team will represent the John
street institution for the next two
seasons and, a look at the showing
made by the court team of last year,
speaks well for a successful season
this year.
In today's football game the coach
will pick his. lineup from Grant,
Romeo, Sheppard, Forgotson, James,
Keegan, Holman, Oliver, Lambert
son, Reed, Safran. and several utility
men. A good crowd is expected out

ZONES viii HurE
Against Arthur Nehf
I'm TOday'S

Sam Jones, of no hit fame, is ex-
pected to receive the pitching as
signment for the New York Yankees
in the third game of the worlds
series this afternoon and Artie Nehf,
the southpaw ace of the Giants staff,
probably | be sent against him.
For today's tilt the two teams re-
turn to the Yankee stadium. where
the Giants won the opening game of
this seasons classic on Wednesday
afternoon. The Yankees evened
matters mainly because Of Babe"
Ruth's home run hitting at the Polo
Grounds yesterday.
The McGraw clan has used four
pitchers in the two games to date,
Watson, Ryan, McQuillan and Bent
ley, while the opposition has started
three men, Waite Hoyt, Joe Bush
and Herb Pennock. Ryan is credit
ed with the Giant win, and Pennock
COPIED the contest for the Yankees
yesterday.
Today the two teams will start on
even terms again and if the McGraw
clan is beaten it will be safe to say
that the worlds champions are in a

The local high school pigskinners
travel to South River this afternoon
where under the direction of Flight
ing Don" Martin they expect to take
the measure of that team for the
second victory this season.
A practice session was held on
Garretson field on Amboy avenue
yesterday afternoon, after which
some 'speak easy instructions were
given the men in the action part of
the lineup, while the line was given
the last drill on defense and offense.
Forward passes were thrown to the
ends and drop-kicking and punting
completed the final workout.
Every regular was present at the
last going over" yesterday and in
addition several scrubs we're given a
tryout. The utility men worked well
in their positions and showed plenty
of form in breaking up forward
passes and recovering fumbles. 1t
is probable that, in the event that
the Amboy footballers are successful
in making a good Roadway on the
South River gridders in today's

Benny Hertz, popular Carteret
lightweight, started for Holyoke,
Mass, yesterday or receipt Of a tel
egram from his manager, Nanny
Seaman, trainer of Benny Leonard,
lightweight champion OF the world.
The telegram made known that
Hertz was to take part in a tour of
Massachusetts,, with the lightweight
champion and members of Leonard's
sparring staff. 1t is probable that
Leonard and his assistants, will APP
pear in the leading theatres of that
state. The tour will last for two
or three weeks.
Hertz has been training faithfully
under the direction of the crack con-
ditioner and Middlesex county fans
are anxiously awaiting his return to
a ring in this section. The Carteret
boy upon his first appearance in a
Middlesex ring, was recognized as a
future great, and through the effort
of the present lightweight champion
and Seaman, Hertz should be heard
from in metropolitan boxing circles
before long.
In the near future, Hertz may ap-
pear at a show under the auspices
of the National Sport Club in this city
and he probably will fight at one of
the shows put on by Ed Coughlin, in
Coughlin's auditorium, Carteret.
Hertz has had several bouts in this
city. Carteret and Long Branch.
Following the completion of the
tour, Hertz may obtain some ac-
ton IN rings in the New England
states,

this falls program, the Westerners
will face a bigger and faster eleven
than has represented West Point in
some time. Football critics~say the

WOODBRIDGE TEAMS TO
RESUME PLAYING SUNDAY

Great interest is centered in the
second game of the Woodbridge
diamond series to be played on the
Hungarian Catholic Club field,
Woodbridge on Sunday afternoon.
The Hungarian Catholic Club nine is
playing the Hungarian Reformed
Club in this set or games.
In the opening game two weeks

the stars of the Notre Dame eleven
this campaign, and the first real test
will be given the Westerners in
Brooklyn tomorrow afternoon.
Notre Dame hasn't been tripped
up by West Point in a number of
years, but the Westerners were held
to a scoreless tie a year ago. The
new boys from the West will have
to fight hard to uphold the record
of their predecessors.
Particular interest is centered in
Notre Dame because of the fact that
Jimmie Silver, a great athlete from
this city, is a student at the Western
institution.

III Credited
With Initial Victory
OF Yankee Ball Team

"Babe" Ruth, New York Yanke
slugger, is given the lions share o
the credit for winning the second
game OF the worlds series which was
played at the Polo Grounds yester-
day afternoon. The count Is now
one and one. The score yesterday
was AZ.
Casey Stengel, Giant veteran,
faded from the picture as a hero
yesterday, as Herb Pennock, a south
paw was on the mound for the Yam
KEGS and as a result, Cunningham
went into center field for the Nc
Graw clan. The thirty-four year
old center pasture man, who has
played on several clubs in the Hey
dler circuit, clouted a home run in
the ninth inning of the first game
at the Yankee stadium on Wednes-
day, and this run gave the worlds
champions a 5-4 victory.
Tho feat of the Bambino in clout-
ing out two home runs in consecu-
tive innings, has not been surpassed
as far as major league records show,
and the two home run trick is
greater than ever, inasmuch as it
was accomplished in a worlds series
contest.
The Bambino has put great fear
In the Giant pitchers, and 1t is prob
able that he will be passed often
in the remaining contests of this Sc
ries. He was given two passes yes
terday. His first circuit clout yes
terday gave the Hugmen a one run
lead and his second circuit clout the
following inning, made the lead of
the American league champs safe.
Aaron Ward, of the Yankees, also
clouted a home u yesterday, &C
contest and Irish" MeuseI of the
Giants made a four base smash in
the last half of the second inning,
tieing the score. There have been
five home runs made in the two
games to date.
