FORDS COMBINE
PLAYS
Second Game of Series on
Union County Field To-
morrow Afternoon.

Manager Steve Anthony of the
Fords Field Club baseball team is
taking a strong combination to Lin
to even the series with the strong re-
preventative nine of that place. The
fourteen game winning streak of the
Linden combine was broken by the
Dixie Colored Giants last Sunday
afternoon.
Mickey Milchick will toe the
rubber for the visitors and Pollock
will receive him. In the infield,
Fords will have Johnson, Katransky,
Brown and logan, while Smalley,
Handerhan and Ritter or Rodner
will patrol the outer gardens.
Several weeks ago the Fords nine
was nosed out by the Linden re-
representatives. in a game which was
halted in the sixth inning on account
Of a rain storm. Ten Eyck, Metuchen
southpaw, was on the hill for the
Fords outfit in this tilt.
A victory for Fords tomorrow
afternoon may give Manager An
thongs forces a crack at the
Elizabeth Knights of Columbus. The
Caseys have of the strongest
teams in Elizabeth this season and
before the summer is over a series
will be arranged with the Plain
field Recreations for the Elizabeth
championship.
The Fords players will leave
Meyers barber shop promptly at
/ O'Clock tomrrow.

SACRED HEARTS
PLAY RED CAPS
Game to Be Played on South
Amboy Field Tomorrow
Afternoon.

After a lay of of two weeks ow-
ing to rain, the Sacred Hearts Of
South Amboy, will take the field to-
morrow afternoon against the fast
Newark Red Caps, on the cross
river diamond.
The game scheduled for last Sun
day was with the Eagles, a colored
team of Princes Bay, while the Sun
day before last the Sacred Hearts
were booked to play the same team.
As the Newark Red Caps already
hold claim to a ten inning contest
over the South Amboy aggregation,
and in view of the fact that the
cross-river ball tossers have at pre-
sent attained a steady winning stride,
a game of exceptional interest is ex-
pected.
Bucka1ew and Lagoda will form
the battery for the Sacred Hearts to-
morrow, while 1t is probable that
Comir will do the mound duty for
the Newark combination. French
Let's, Hyson, and Sam, will perform
in the field and Greed, Rickie, and
Clark will patrol the outer gardens
for the South Amboy team.

SHER|DANS IN
BIC CONTEST
GardeIIa Will Oppose Primka
In Game on South AM
boy Field.

The Keasbey Field Club will trav-
ell to South Amboy tomorrow after
noon where they will try to make it
seven straight at the expense OF the
Sheridans of that place.
While the two teams are about
evenly matched and a good game is
expected, a feature Of the engage
ment will probably be a pitching
duel between Primka of the Sheri-
dams and Gardella of the Keasbey
nine. Primka holds claim to a rec
ord of averaging fifteen strikeouts
a game for the present season, while
Archie" has won sever out of eight
games played by the Keasbeyites, al
lowing bur a six hit average in all
contests:
In spite of the fact that the South
Amboy twirler has a better record,
as far as pitching is concerned, still
the local mound ace is backed with
plenty of support. The handicaps
under which both teams are playing
is enough to insure plenty of inter
est in tomorrow's game.
The rest of the Keasbey lineup
will be j. Rorner, Levine, Jensen,
Parsler, w. Romer, Pelligrene, John
Parsler, Dolina, Gardella and Gal
liant. Joe Parsler will do the receiv-
ing for the Keasbey team, while
Hess is expected to play behind the
bat for the South Amboy nine.

Give The BOYS A Chance

Skill in sports and pastimes US
ually has its foundation laid in
youth. Golf, tennis, baseball, ten
mis- and some others have at times
produced a few exceptions, but
marked skill in any game usually
has its beginning at an early age.
This is especially true of the use of
a shot gun. Those who take up the
sport of bird hunting or trap shoot
ing early in life are likely to re-
tain their skill as long as they are
able to go afeld or shoot over a
range.
The southern states have many
experts in the hunting field due to
the abundance of game and length
of the season. William Elliott,
of South Carolina whose memoirs
entitled Carolina Sports by Land
and Water" is a classic, when SO
ears of age, shooting with a IA
gauge gun, made a record of SO
straight kills on mixed game, part
ridge (our Northern quail), pleas
ants and woodcock. This record was
made on unfavorable ground and in
the presence of witnesses. 1t is
worthy of note that he began the
use of firearms at is and the skill
acquired in his youth remained with
him to the end.
Give your boy a chance. Teach
him the proper use of firearms
early in life SO he will not miss the
pleasure and satisfaction that comes
from a day in the field or at the
traps.
All genuine sportsmen intend to
obey the laws relating to fishing and
hunting but unfortunately not all
lovers of these sports are familiar
with every legal restriction, and In
view of the fact that ignorance OF
the law cannot be accepted as an
alibi the necessity of obtaining Of
fetal information is apparent. The
Fish and Game Commission OF New
Jersey has ready for distribution g
little book entitled New Jersey Fish
and Game Laws, 1929, and Until
Repealed" One can be had for
the asking. Get yours now.
Fishing from the pier at Point
Pleasant, N. j., has been very good
during the past week or two. Many
weakfsh, some of them weighing
about four pounds each were taken
as we'll as fiuke and king fish In
large numbers.
Surf fishermen at Seaside Park
and other points along the Jersey
Coast were a sad lot over the last
week end. The storm on Saturday
night and the consequent heavy surf
on Sunday made fishing almost I'M
possible. Few fish were taken n
those only on Saturday evening early.
The unusually heavy undertow made
it impossible to keep the lines out
and those who tried ~squidding in
the heavy surf soon gave up in de-
SPAR.
Loheart Jensen and Alfred Lessen
went down early as usual IN their
fiivver. They got a king fish and
several weakfish on Saturday even
ing but although they worked hard
and consistently all the next day no
pass or blues were to be had.
D.. A. Shirley, John p. Johnson
and Charlie Mac" were also at Is
land Beach Light, but got there late
and because Of the conditions left
early without doing much fishing.

Play RecreationS.

John Urbanski's Maurer Athletic
Association baseball team will be
given a real chance tomorrow af-
ternoon to engage the Plainheld
Recreations on Pearl Oval in Eliz-
abeth. The Maurer team is carded
to play the P%lainfeld Catholic Club
in the first game of a double head
er, and the winner will take on the
Recreations.
The Philadelphia Athletics were
originally scheduled to play the
Recreations. but the condition of
the Mackmen at the present time
resulted in Connie Mack cancelling
al Exhibition contests. The Rec
reation manager was therefore
forced to arrange for a double
header and after considering num-
erous matches, the Maurer-Catholic
Club contest was decided on.
1t Is not known who will occupy
the mound for the Maurer team in
the first game, and in the second
half of the double bill if Urbanski's
boys carry off honors in the opening
tilt. The remainder the lineup will
be practically the same as has been
used In recent games.
About two weeks ago the Maurer
team played a thirteen inning game
with the Elizabeth Caseys, the lat
ter outfit finally winning out.
Mickey 500 pitched for Maurer in
this contest.

BOLSTERED
FOR COUNTY CONTEST
HERE TOMORROW P. N.

The Landings of New Brunswick
are coming here tomorrow after
Don with a special battery, Bush,
formerly of the Brooklyn Nationals
and the Cleveland Indians on the
mound, and Lee, formerly Of the
Southern League and the Plainf1eld
Recreations, behind the plate. In
addition to these two stars, the New
Brunswick representatives will be
bolstered in the infield and the out
field.
In the first contest Of the county
championship series which was play
ed at Nelson field, New Brunswick,
on the afternoon Of July Fourth,
the Landings were beaten, 81. The
New Brunswick representatives were
strengthened only the the acquis-
ltion of a pitcher in this contest
which was called at the end of the
sixth inning.
With the New York All Collegian
twirler on the mound and the hard
hitting backstop behind the plate,
New Brunswick fans are confident
that the Landings will be successful
In evening the county championship
series. An opponent of the Am
boys must have a good battery to
check the batting strength of the To-
Gals, aud a good batting team to
score against the locals.
Daugherty, the locals pitching star
was off form on Thursday night when
the Royal Colored Giants, OF
the leading colored baseball mines
in the world scored an S-5 victory
over the locals. He is expected to
redeem himself against the county
seat b~alltossers in tomorrow's game.

baseball contests between the rep
representative mines of New Bruins
wick and Perth Amboy. featured the
Middlesex county athletic program.

CHAMPIONSHIP GAME ON LOCAL BAL
Here and There
Trapshooting, Hunting, Fishing

Here and There
Want a good days sport deep sea
fishing? Consult the New York
Herald Rod and Gun notes; pick
out your boat and go to 1t. Ex-
celleat fishing is reported at all OF
the favorite grounds and got will
no doubt be amply repaid for your
trouble and expense.
Walter H. War; who, during the
month of August, spent his week
ends 1T Lake Popolo in New York
State, reports that he enjoyed some
excellent fishing. Beside the usual
small fry, several large bass and
pickerel were taken.
Tuna fish in unusually large num-
bers have been seen off the New
Jersey coast near Barnegat this
season. Two of exceptional size
have been caught by commercial
fishermen and a thirty pound one
was caught a few days-ago by an
angler who was jigging for weak
fish with a squid. A party from
Trenton landed eleven the smallest
going thirty pounds and the largest
sixty pounds. Off shore fishing in
that locality is now at its best and
will be good for the next month or
two.
Trout fishing has closed in New
Jersey but almost a month of legal
fishing may yet be had in New York
state, as the closing date there is
August 81. In the clear, cold lakes
and streams of the Catskill these fish
are in good condition through all
the torid months so far as firmness
of flesh and fighting vigor are con-
cerned, and great sport may be en-
loved by anyone who has the OPP
portunity to visit these places.

OUR ouTpooRMAN lays:

IN surf fishing. or any kind of salt
water fishing, If you get a hard
strike and do not hook your fish,
examine your bait at once. The
strike probably has forced the bait
UP the shank of the hook and smell
and If you should get another strike
on the bait in this condition you will
have little, IL any, chance Of hook
ing your fish.
When surf fishing after you have
hooked your fish do not back up
the beach with your prize in tow.
This is evidence of the amateur.
Play your fish with rod and line;
keep near the surf and be ready to
bring your catch in on the crest of
an opportune roller. Better to lose
your fish in a sportsman-like man
ner than to land 1t by main strength
and awkwardness.
