Tomorrow Afternoon
Only County Opponent
III. S. CORRESPONDENT

while the Perth AEnboy High
School boys are battling Freehold
on the local court tomorrow after
noon, the local girls team will open
their season against the South Am
boy High School lassies at South
Amboy.
Although little has been heard
about the strength of the local team,
Coach Miss Elizabeth Kirkpatrick
has been holding drills regularly
and she is confident that her court
sters will return with the bacon in
the opening encounter.
The list from which the sSxtet will
be chosen has not been announced
but the fans can rest assured that
the strongest collection of players
available, will be placed on the door.
There are but two veterans of last
years team, the Misses Schultz and
Bjork.
During the recent class series
many future stellar lights were I'M
covered and Miss Kirkpatrick will
no doubt place in the lineup for
tomerrow's game several OF the class
team stars.
The South Amboy game is the only
contest booked with a county gum
tet, but the outcome OF the home
series with the crosg-river girls will
have an important bearing on the
county championship of which tbs
lecal girls are the defenders.

straight strikes to finish his game at
217, starting in the eighth frame and
striking out. Bill Pemberton turned
in a triple in the last frame in an
effort to make up for the low scores
of the other pfnmen but although he
secured the maximum count it was
not sufficient to give his team a vic
tory, the visitors winning by one

. that Rommel attained in 1922?
Rommel boasts the most deceptive
knuckle ball in the American league.
Other pitchers have developed a
good knuck1e ball, but none that I
have ever seen compares with that
of Rommel.
1t is SO difficult to handle that Cy
Perkins, one of the best catchers in
the game, drops ball after ball with
Rommel working. Some of them
never hit his glove. Cy works on
the theory that the essential thing to
| do is stop the ball rather than catch
it.
With most pitchers, the knuckle
ball is a last resort, the delivery to
go to in the pinch. With Rommel
the knuckle ball is his chief stock in
trade. This is made possible because
of the great control that Rommel
has Of not only the knuckle ball but
also his fast one.
Has Great Control
Usually with a good hitter up,
Rommel goes to work on him with
the knuckle ball. He may waste
two or three knuckle balls without
| getting the batter to offer at them,
Then it is that his great control
proves its value. 1t never seems
any great trouble for Rommel to
come back with a couple OF fast ones
| to get on even terms with the bat
ter. With the call three balls and
two strikes, Rommel invariably slips
up the knuckle ball.
| A most unusual knuckle ball, good
control, plenty OF nerve and the
ability to field, explains Rommel's
| success. No infielder in the game
can handle ground balls more clev-
erly. When he is pitching, the Ath-
letics have FIVE infielders in the game.
Add to this a keen mind and you
] have the formula for Ed Rommel's

dictate that the bout tonight will be

Walker. The New York welter-

BY Billy Evans

Ed Romme1's feat in winning 27
games for a team finishing in
seventh in the American League race
was unQuestionably the outstanding
feat Of the American League last
season.
Rommel was probably as good a
pitcher in 1921 as he was last year,
yet few people were talking about
him then. The reason, Of course, is
that he didn't win 81 games In 1921.
Since the close of last season,
Rommel has been the most talked
about figure in baseball. Pitching
for the Athletics, a confirmed tall
ender for seven years, Rommel took
down 81 victories. In other words,
Rommel was the main reason why
the Athletics finished seventh instead
Of last in 1922.
What kind of a pitcher is this fell
low Rommel? Rommel certainly
must have a world of stuff? What
about that knuckle ball? Would
Rommel ever lose a game with a
first division club These and scores
Of other questions involving the
greatness of Romme1 have been fred
at me since the close of the season.
RommeI lis Peculiar Type
Ed Rommel is the peculiar type
Of a great pitcher. To the fan, sit
ting in a comfortable seat in the
stand, it is probably impossible for
him to figure why Rommel isn't hit
much harder. His speed appears to
be ordinary, and his control perfect
when he wants 1t to be.
Rommel has good-but not burn
ing-speed. I venture to say that 80
per cent OF the American League
pitchers have a better fast ball than
Rommel. His curve is snappy, but
not any better than most OF the
other good pitchers in the majors.
Why then the remarkable success
