AMBOY HIGH TRACK TEAM
WILL NOT PARTICIPATE
(High School Correspondentl

The local high school relay team
will not be the city's representative
in the Penn relays tomorrow after
noon at Philadelphia.
Announcement to the effect that
Amboy would not be represented was
made by Coach Robert s.. Waddell,
lack of funds being given as the r. l.
son for the action. The coach also
added that he had not found suitable
material at the local institution to
measure UP with the teams which
will take part in the games. There
fore Amboy would gain nothing and
there would be a needless expendi-
ture of athletic funds.
Manager Nat Cohen has arranged
a schedule of meets with some of
the leading schools in the state to
Offset the cancellation for tomorrow.
The track manager is expected to
announce his complete schedule
some time today.

The Royal Colored Giants, one of
the greatest semi-pro baseball teams
in the country, will play the Perth
Amboy Baseball Association nine on
the Raritan Copper Works field a
week from this Sunday afternoon.
The strong Jamaica nine will furnish
the opposition to the Amboys in the
latter's second encounter of the sea-
son this Sunday afternoon.
On April IL, 1921 the Royal
G nts defeated the Perth Amboy
cam of that season to the tune of a
~13-4 score and the crack colore |
baseball stars have not appeared in
This city since that time. In the 1921
game the Giants succeeded in max
ing at least one hit an inning.
Inasmuch as the Amboys- are label
ed as one of the strongest semi-pro
mines in this state, the Royal Giants
leader is counting on using his best
moundsman in this encounter. The
booking OF the Royals, Manager
Poulsen relates, is just the first step
in his plan to give this vicinity the
best attractions obtainable.
This booking probably will be fol-
lowed by the appearance of the
Cuban Stars, Paterson Silk Sox, Rec
reations of Piainield and attractions
of,a similar class. Several big league
appear here during the season.
For the Jamaica-Amboy game this
sunday the Amboys win have "Zub-

diamonds, but that was before the
great war. Last season an industrial
league formed by the Y. n. G. A.
staged twilight games.
A committee headed by Andrew
Hansen Of the New Jersey Terra
Gotta company has prepared D state
ment Of expenses for the running Of
this league, and the committee head
ed by j. w. Hixon Of the Atlantic
Terra Gotta company has arranged
a set of bylaws and constitution.
There is every indication that the
teams in the league this year will BE-
evenly matched as those in last
years circuit. The Dry Docks ON
bination which is not entered this
season, won the championship.
It is believed that a decision WIFI
be reached al tonight'e meeting
whereby the winner Of the local CIR
cult will be booked to play other
leading industrial nines in this coun-
ty for the county championship, ard
also the winner of city leagues outs
side of this county.

.TOTTENV|LLE
LACKS INTEREST
Baseball Team This Season
Not as Strong as
Last Year

Gossip in Tottenville. sporting cir
cles is to the effect that there is
not to be as much interest in the
Aquehonga baseball team this sea-
son as there was last year. The
Aquehonga Club team, representa-
tive of Tottenville, will open with the
All Collegians of New York City at
Aquehonga field a week from this
Sunday.
H. A. w. Kreischer was chosen
manager of the 1923 Tottenville
baseball team several weeks ago and
although he has not announced his
complete lineup, there is every rea-
son to believe that the combination
for this year will be far inferior to
the representative nine of last year.
Charley Hilker was the Aquehonga
manager last year.
Tottenville /. nd vicinity took a real
interest in the Aquehonga 1922 team
principally because of the fact that
hat a strong team was representing
the club. 1t is rumored at the pres
ent time that Frank Dunn the south
paw, who won many a game for the
Aquehongas last year will not be
on the roster this year. The pitch
ing duties are to be taken care of
Dy AuSLln f1OflSDy Oh THIS CITY anu
Herbert Hallowell of Tottenville, it
is said.
Art Romer. one OF the men who
made baseball in Tottenville, has
been left out in the cold this season
although a great many of the fans
and officers of the club, favored him
for field managers 1t is said he
passed up a position with the Staten
Island Elks because he had been
promised the berth with the Aque-
honga outfit.
The lineup planned for Totem
Vile will not stand a chance with
the Perth Amboy nine OF today. The
Tottenville-Amboy series of last year
| attracted real interest in this vi
entity.
