CALL GEORGE GRANTHAM
SECOND JOHNNY EvERS

CHICAGO.-The second edition of
Johnny Evers is George +. Gran
than.
When Evers, alias the keystone
King" and author of Touching Sec
ond," removed his uniform and de-
parted Chicago fans never expected
to see his equal again.
But Bill Killefer, who believes In
developing youth, found George
Grantham, a third baseman with the
Omaha club in the Western League
last season, on his squad this spring.
With two infield positions open
second and third Killefer asked his
recruit what he knew about the mid
die sack.
Lead me out to it and I'll show
you" was Grantham's reply.
Killefer did, with the result that
he claims he has the second addi-
ton of Johnny Eivers in his Young
product.
AT present Grantham Is startling
the National League by becoming the
leading base stealer. He has passed
Max Carey, who has held the honor
for years. He is a head of Sammy
Bohne, another artist at that line,
and he is regarded as the hardest
runner in the league to catch on q
steal.
Grantham does not take the big
lead of Carey or Cobb, Eut he gets
the jump on the pitcher. He breaks
away like a streak, uses a long slide
and hooks his loot to the bag per-
fectly.
In fielding Grantham already is
showing promise of making good
Killefer's boast. He has a big pair
of hands, scoops in a roller similar
to the inimitable Honus Wagner,
snaps the ball with an u~nderhand
shoot and does not give up Oh a
roller until it has passed him.
When Killefer succeeded Johnny
Evers as manager of the Cubs he
announced that he would rebuild
with youth. He did not want worm
out veterans. He was going to put
together a fast, snappy machine.
That's just what he has done GnI
Grantham is an important link in
the chain.
Grantham bats from both sides of
the plate, vas born May 20, 1900, at
Kingman, Ariz. stands 5 feet 10
inches and weighs 156 pounds.

The new trapshooting range of the
Perth Amboy Rod and Gun Club,
situated on what was formerly Gar
retson's aviation field at Spa Spring
on the opposite side of Amboy ave-
nue. from the Barber Asphalt Com
pany, will be formally christened to-
morrow afternoon. This new range
compares favorably with the best in
the state, boasting of four traps
which will make it possible for TWEEN
ty men to be shooting at the same
time.
The installation of the two addi-
Ational traps gives the local. range the
reputation of having as many traps
as the best in the state and the ac-
QUESTION of the new field will put
the local club on the map as far as
shooting grounds is concerned. The
Amboy Club has long been ION the
map as the result of the excellent
scores made by its members and
with the company of good shots and
a perfect range, the local club ex-
poets to enjoy a period of activity
before experienced here.
The traps r so arranged that the
Ngunners are shooting against the
clear sky with no dark background
to spoil their view of the elusive
targets. The four traps make it
possible for gunners to shoot their
matches without any delay waiting
for other squads to finish and a big
turnout is anticipated tomorrow.

TEAM FORMED
At JAMESBURG
But Nine Will Not Enter 3.M
League at This Time
Meeting is Held

JAMESBURG, July 21.-James-
burg fans and others interested in
baseball failed to arouse sufficient
enthusiasm or the promise of inan-
cial support to warrant the placing
of a team in the Three-M League
at the meeting held here Thursday
night. One thing was accomplished
however. A baseball team was or
ganized, committees appointed and
with enough enthusiasm to put a
team in the field at once. This COM
m.ttee will report back at another
at LeaaUa headquarters.
Joseph w. Timberman, one of the
sponsors of the movement, acted as
chairman of the meeting and was
later elected. H. A. Edwards was
named secretary.
Mr.. Timberman outlined the pur.
poses of the meeting and left same
open for a full discussion of the
proposed organization of a Three
M team.
Leading in the discussion against
the placing of a team in the field
of the strength of the Three-M
teams was the Rev. Weaver K. Eu-
bank, pastor of the Jamesburg
Presbyterian church, who was quite
some ball player in his college days,
Lincoln Hayes, a prime mover in the
movement; Fred Perrine, of the
Freehold team. and others. The
lack of financial guarantors at the
meeting, a suitable grounds and
equipment and the l~ateness of the
season added sufficient strength to
the movement fer a local team to
play teams for a season before
tackling larger problems won out
and the motion 10 organize a team
for the lesser. program, put by H.
A. Edwards was adopted.
Organization of the team was per-
fected by the election of Ernest
Breckwedel, as manager.
The committee who will make a
for the selection of grounds,
the raising of needed finances and
report back on Monday night, is:
Rev. Weaver K. Eubank, chairman;
Ralph Brown, Lincoln Hayes, Her
Rockenbach, John Waddy.
Already plans are under way for
the arranging of a series with the
George w. Helme Company team,
of Helmetta; the Freehold Rug Mills
and other nearby teams who have
failed to fill schedules owing to no
nearby teams being available.
A good representative of younger
fans was present and all were a unit
for the pushing of the team to a
successful organization.

AMBOYS OUT
OCHANCEL LUCK
viii Play Penn Red Caps To-
morroW--KeaSbey VS. FordS
in Fast Game

Just whether the Amboys' luck, as
far as colored teams are concerned,
has changed will be decided tomor-
row afternoon when the local out
fit takes the field against the crack
Penn Red Caps, on the Raritan Cop
per Works field.
Great interest is being conferred
in tomorrow's contest in as much as
colored teams on the local diamond
seem to be an i'll omen, and the fact
hat the Amboys have at present a
winning streak. Manager
Ed Poulsen says he is confident that
thi~ game will change the luck of
the locals, and that his present stride
will remain untarnished, while the
manager of the Red Caps also seem
to think his combination will carry
off tomorrow's honors.
An added feature of tomorrow's
affair will be a preliminary contest
between The Keasbey Field Club and
the Fords Field Club which is sched-
uled to get under way about 1
o'clock. Unlimited interest is also
being conferred about this engage
ment as this is the second game of
a series between the two teams.
The first game of the was
won by Fords Field Club by a So
score, and with extra practise SEES
sions and his team in fine condi-
ton, Manager Art Jensen of Keas-
hey feels confident of the second
game being awarded TO his warriors.
Gardella or Dolin will do the twirl-
ing for the Keasbey team.
The big game will start about $3.50
o'clock with either Reggie or Daugh-
eryt in the pitching stahl, and Lid
gate on Lynch behind the plate. In
the infield will be found Smith,
Burnett, Rudy and McEnroe, while
the positions in the outfield will be
filled by Loeser, McAuliffe, S%tinson.
The lineup for the Penn Red Caps
has not been announced, but from
the reputation and the showing made
by the combination in this city and
vicinity during past seasons, the
Amboys will have to do some tall
stepping to hold their own with the
co1ored tossers.
Harry Harper, who recently drew
his unconditional release from the
Brooklyn National League Club, will
have his team in this city on next
Sunday to oppose the locals. Word
received from the big league player
several days ago was to the effect
that he will positively do the twirl-
lng for the visiting team.

With the new Yankee stadium in
readiness, and both fighters to break
training camp today, everything is
set for the lightweight championship
battle, to take place on Monday at
the ball field of the New York
Americans, in which Z ,nny Leonard
and Lew Tender are scheduled %
fight fifteen rounds.
To some the fight on Monday
night is an easy matter to figure out,
and according TO many fans Leonard
will surely win. In New York the
present lightweight king is being
favored 2 to l, while Leonard him
self feels confident of the bout end
ing in the tenth frame with himself
the victor.
On the other hand Tender has
trained harder for this engagement
than for any other in his whole
career, and is said by fight experts
to have improved a great deal in
his style of hitting. The experts
also add that the last meeting be-
tween the two lightweights Lew
learned plenty. and this knowledge
win be used TO good advantage next
week.
If Leonard wins in Monday nights
contest he will find a new and
snappy opponent in Charley White
who scored a knockout Wednesday
night. Leonard was scheduled to
fight White last fall, but owing TO
an operation which White had
to undergo the fight was postponed.

They are not always ripe the mo-
ment they bounce off the minor
league tree.
Carson Lee Bigbee, left fielder with
the Pittsburgh Pirates, is regarded
as the Iris Speaker among the Ma
tional League outflelders. He didn't
hit the 800 trail until his sixth sea-
son.
Going through this development
course. covering five years. Bigbee
finally has established himself as
not only a brilliant fy-chaser but
one of the leading hitters in the
circuit.
Joining the Pirates in 1915, after
serving half a season with Tacoma
in the Northwestern League, Bigbee
was regarded as an excellent type
for the lead-off position in the
swat order. He was a choppy
swinger, a good judge of a pitched
ball, an artist in bunting, who did
not go in for the straight-away hit
ting.
Has Joined 300 Batters
His annual contribution to John
Heydler's average showed ESQ,
.239, .255, .276 and $50, when in
1921 he hoped to 1923 and in 1922
he turned in a mark OF $50.
When he became a powerful hit
ter he was removed from the top
position and now occupies the clean
up notch in the Pittsburgh lineup.
Bigbee has developed into one of
the most dangerous hitters in the
league for the reason that he hits
to all fields. There Is Cy Williams,
who poles exclusively to right field,
and George Kelly, who drives out
to left. Zach Wheat is another who

Bigbee is a reproduction Of the
Johnny Tobin style. American
League fans know what that means
He drops liners in back of the third
baseman and works perfectly on the
hit-and-run in hitting grounders
through vacated territory. He drags
between first and second base
