tenders for the individual bowling

The Junior varsity basketball team
representing the boys department or
the local Y. NJ. c. A. having com
pleted it's schedule for the season,
closes its season with a record OF
twelve victories out of sixteen starts.
The members of the team were
coached by Physical Director S. c.

ton Roth was captain of the outfit
Those who played in a majority OF
the games included Roth, Sharp, Ri
vellini, Evans, Gilsdorf, Torrell, Nor

All Stars. The varsity met defeat
at the hands of the South River
Spinning Company team, the Young
Mems Brotherhood of New Bruins
wick, the Livingstons of New Bruins
wick and lagos All Stars.
demonstrating the fact that the team
got a late start and the members OF
The cam had never played together
before, their record is an enviable
one. Next year the team expects to
get an early start and ave a sched-
uIe of thirty or forty games. Plans
are being made to give the team a

IS BEATEN
BY FULLERTON
Two Teams Now Tie for First
in Y. M. C. A. Bowling
League

Fullerton's five man OUTFIT last
night met and defeated in three
straight games Hopes quintet in the
Y. NJ. C. A. five-man team bowling
league. As a result of this match

pins. The first game vas won by
seventy-eight pins and The last by
148. Russell Hart was high score
and high average man for the night,
he turning in two high scores at 209
and 204 and averaging 1873. Carbon
averaged 1871 doing some CONSTANT
bowling. Hopes 17S average was
high for his team.
On Friday night the teams OF
Golden and Ryan clash. If Golden
wins two out of three games his
team will tie Ryan's. whereas a -hree
straight would put his men ahead of
Ryan's. Any other results would
only increase Ryan's present lead
over Golden.
Great interest is being shown in
this league, there having been fewer
blind scores, caused by players fall
ing to put in an appearance, than in
any other league this year. Most Of
the teams have had a perfect turn
out at every match.

GREAT FINISH
CAUSES REAL GOSSIP
BASEBALL CIRCLES

The baseball contest on the Rar-
itan Copper Works field Sunday at
rncon has attracted a great deal
of favorable comment for the local
nine The outcome of this contest
n2eant more to fans than did the
owing made by the "crackeriack"
Vmboy combination in the opening
>semipro contest of the season in
this city several weeks ago
1t was a feat we'll worth accom-
fishing. the defeat of the strongest
yeam brought here this summer and
after the visitors had succeeded IN
piling up a five run lead in the
opening session. The move by the
Wilmington manager in changing a
pitcher in the eighth inning with
the locals three runs behind. was ir
a way RESP. us1b e for the outcome
of this contest.
A great many fans, however. de-
clare that Ar1boy was dus for o
break in the 6 ?hth inning cspeci-
ally because of the name in which
the visiting outfielders had gathered
in everything hit over the infield in
the early innings. Tom McAuliffe
and Pete Burnett were each robbed
of a home run clout and the locals
Jpst hits which appeared to be good
least for two bases as a result Of
catches made by the right and CELL
ter fia ers.
in the seventh and eighth innings
the locals hit six pretty safeties,
five into le.s fed and onc rig t
ins.Js Of fret base. The catci by
M,AuligA in me eighth innin1 was a
bteis Ter the ! tals inasmuch ms the
next three batters hit safely. A
Perth Amboy evening news., 1923-05-22

pinch hitter made this clout which
surely would have rolled to the au-
tomobile gate.
No one could have handled sec
ond base better than did Billy
Flynn in this game. but the habit
of advertising players who T. not
going to appear, is not going to be
started this season. Future an
nouncements regarding the lineup
of the local team will be put d.
rectly to the local business manager
disappointments. McAvoy was
scheduled to play third base last
Sunday and when he did not appear.
Sosnow was moved to the difficult
corner and Burnett to the short
field.
Sosnow cannot show his reai class
at third base and Burnett a crecker
jack second baseman. cannot hold
down the shortfield berth.I
Next Sunday the Richmond. Va.
Colored Giants are carded to appear
here. 1t is enough to say that the
strength of this club a be old
through past performances and the
fact that it is even stronger than
the club here last Sunday.
When the jumps take the Held
next Sunday they will have their
work settled on so that the occur
renee similar to the one which
stopped the game in the fifth inning
last Sunday will not happen again.
AS far as the decisions of the UNI
pires in this game were concerned.
the visitors after the tussle said that
every man on the team must fight
for everything right or wrong, Or
they will be without a job.
