To Be ELECTED
Raritan Copper Athletic Asso-
citation Officials to be
Named This Week

In n day or two the officers for
the Raritan Copper works athletic
association of 1924 will be made
known, it has been announced by a
present official of the organization.
The officers for this year were not
elected until late and as a result
the award of the baseball field lease,
one of the most important factors in
the running of the association, was
not acted upon until near the time
for the opening of the diamond
campaign.
AS far as is known, the present
leader of the association, Augustus
Pierce, Is not a candidate for re-elec-
ton. 1t is rumored hat there is one
candidate for each office on h reg
ular ballot. but the members of the
association may enter a personal
choice for some of the offices.
Gossip about the baseball leader
for this city next summer Is already
heard, and the tearing down of the
eastern end of the baseball fence a
attracted some interest. The fence
work is a part of the W eXcava-
ton in connection with the railroad
elimination, and the ballfield will be
surrounded In regular fashion when
the seaso opens.
The athletic association of the
Raritan Copper works is one of the
leading factors In the promotion of
Industrial sports throughout this

spring training schedule of the
Philadelphia Nationals, managed BY
Arthur Fletcher, former Giant star.
The Phillies are to play nearly all
of the major league teams, both lea
and a city series has been ar
ranged with the Philadelphia Ath-
letics. The important spring sea-
son schedule is evidence that Fletch-
er has about awakened the Phila-

to the need of strengthening that
nine.
Major league baseball trades are
about done for this time and it is
not likely that Rogers Hornsby will
go from the st. Louis Cardinal roster
before next season anyway.

For eight hours and twenty min
utes, Fletcher and William Cowan,
of the South Amboy Y. M. Z. A,
bowled on Saturday afternoon for
the annual Christmas turkey award
ed by the association for the highest
average of ten out of twenty games
or more.
Gene Thomas, who recently rolled
the highest score ever made on the
cross river alley, on Saturday morn
ing was holding an average score of
about ZIG and then after bowling
about ten games raised his chances
for the prize to 223.
Hoffman and Cowan had ave ages
of about 210 and on Saturday after
noon when the turkey was to be
awarded set to work to bring their
averages above that of the top
notcher, Thomas. They started at

finished with a PIC average and
Cowan with 215, but Thomas drag

This time is about the longest ever
recorded in this section for endur-

SOUTH AMBOY, Dec. rs. The
one thought that probably rests in
the mind of every basketball fan in
this city is the first game OF h an
nual series, between the local high
school team and the St. Mary's high
school quintet, to be played on Fri
day night at the John street auditor
ium court.
The contest this week will mark
the beginning of the third series be-
w cen these two teams. In 1921-22,
st. Mary's COPIED the first series by
taking two out of three contests,
ard last year the John street rep

the rubber" series, according to
the opinion of followers of both out
fits. will be credited with having
o the most hard fought of the
three.
To date both teams have made ia
yorable records, the John street boys
won three out of four and the pa
rochial school courtsters won two
out of four. st. Mary's won over
Keyport and Atlantic Highlands, and
the public school basketeers defeat
ed Jamesburg, the Alumni, Manas-
guar and lost to Woodbridge by one
point.
A. look at the two combinations
will favor one no better than the
other. The John street squal re-
mains practically the same as last
year, while st. Mary's team has
changed but little. Both squads are
holding strenuous practice sessions
all this week and one of the biggest
crowds that ever attended a court
