Will Work for Maurer Team in
Game This Sunday
Afternoon

mound the Maurer AthleIlc Assoc
iation baseball team will endeayor
20 break its two game losing streak
at the expense of tho Aquehonga
nine OF Tottenville on the latter's
field Sunday afternoon.
Due to the fact that Austin Horns
by, regular hurler of the T~ottenville
nine, is with the local Y. NJ. C. A.,
volley BALL team in Chicago, a new
moundsman will be Sent against
John Urbanski's b~alltossers. It is
probable that Herb EIallowell or a
local pitcher will occupy the mound
for the home team in this contet.
Last Sunday afternoon the Aque-
hongas downed the coIors of the All
~Collegians on the Tottenville field.
This was the opening of the semi
pro season in Tottenville and Mah-
ager kreischer's team showed up In
real style.
Two weeks ago the Maurer nine
was beaten in an extra inning con-
test by the Carteret Field Club and
last Sunday the Landings defeated
Urbanski's nine at New Brunswick.
Milchick did the pitching for the
Maurer team In these games. The re-
mainder of the Maurer lineup will

game of the season. McEnroe was
one of the leading stickers in the
Amboy lineup last season
Against the Bloomfields, the AM
boys will have,to play great ball on
Sunday afternoon. This outfit de-
feated the Amboys last summer with
Charles Dutch" Schesler of the
Newark Bears, "Dopey' Smith and
McEnroe in the local lineup. The
Bloomfields have been going good
this summer while the Amboys met
defeat at the hands of the Royal
Giants last Sunday after winning
their first two starts.
New Umpire
At the request of the fans, Bust
ness Manager Ed Poulsen has re-
leased Kiggle Coplan as umpire-in-
chief at the local hatfield and has

umpired here many seasons in the
past and his work has always salts
fled the fans. He will be assisted
by Charley Brownmiller.
Manager Poulsen of the Amboy
nine desires onc again to make
known his readiness to receive the
suggestion of any fan regarding the
running of the local ballfield. He is
we'll aware of the fact that the fan
must be given every consideration.

TWO BIC STARS
COMING HERE
Joe Lopchick and Dave Banks
to Play Against Perth Am
boy Five

Basketball fans OF this vicinity will
get another opportunity TO see Joe
Lopchick and Dave Banks in action
on the local Auditorium court this
Saturday night when the strong Mt.
Vernon team OF the Interboro League
furnishes the opposition for the
Perth Amboy Five.
Joe Lopchick, who made his mi
tial appearance in this city last Sat-
urday night in a Speedway uniform,
made more admirers by his superb
playing than any other basketeer
that has invaded this city this sea-
son. Iopchick was a tower Of
strength for the Speedways and It
was due mostly to his efforts that the
Speedways doEned the colors OF the
Amboy Five. Fandom Is still talking
about this versatile athlete and the
fans who failed to see him last Sat-
urday are lure TO flock to the Audi
forum this Saturday night TO see the
man Dame Rumor has slated for
Horse" Haggerty's Job at center on
the Original Celtics next season.
With Lopchick will be Dave Banks
who also played an important part
In the Anboy downfall by the Speed
ways and who Is recognized. by local
enthusiasts as one of the c~leverest
dribblers in the game. Teamed up
with Banks will be none other than
u own ~favorite Willie Marion who
assisted the locals In dow ming some
OF the classiest outfits during the
past season. Marion is a regular in
the Vernon lineup and with Lopchick
and Banks as teammates some clever
and speedy basketball should result.
Eddie White and Couch comprise
the balance of the visitors roster and
are dribhlers OF the highest calibre.
The Mt. Vernon combination annex
ed the championship OF the Inter-
boro Basketball League and only re-
Gently defeated the worlds cham
pions Original Celtics by an eight
point margin.
The Amboy Five will probably use
Leo Malone at center In this game
tc hold the wonderful Lopchick
even.

M'ENROE WITH LOCALS
AGAINST Bloomfield.
KELLY TO UMPIRE

Harry McEnroe of Newark, crack
third sacker of Perth Amboy Athletic
Asso. baseball team Of last sea-
son, has returned from Danville, Va.
and will be at the difficult corner
for the present semi pro nile against
the Bloomfield Field Club on the
Raritan Copper works field this
Sunday afternoon.
THE Essex county lad, a big favor
fte here last season, has been going
great with the Danville-Schoolfield
Aombination in the Piedmont league.
erb Murphy, one of the owners and
of the Danville combine,
went TO the third sack in a recent
contest when McI5nroe was laid up
and inasmuch as he hit two homers,
continued to play that position in flu
ture games. Murphy's original plan
was to manage the team from the
bench and when he elected to play
again, McEnroe decided 1t was better
10 obtain his release and return north
to play semi pro ball than to remain
idle on the minor league bench.
With Fred "Dopey" Smith at first
Field Manager Pete Burnett, at Sec
ond lack Sosnow or Joe Rudy at

This league will be started on Satur-

Manager Hanson OF the Catherine

stronger than the ore which was en-
tered in last years twilight tndust-

SCHOOL DRIVE
PROGRESSING
Expect to 0versubscribe Fig
ure Set for Laying Out Of
Track
6High School Correspondent

AAlASAl SSAlcOA
If the drive for funds to build a
suitable track for the local schools,
particularly the high school, is suc
cessful the city will witness several
interscholastie track meets, accord
ing to Manager Nat Cohen of the
local high school. He is considering
meets with several strong schools but
the thing that Is hating progress Is
the lack of a home field. Although
there are some meets scheduled
away from home there is not the
same spirit at the school as If there
were home meets. The track team
needs moral support and that Is alb
sent when the squad performs away
from home.
In the first day of the drive for
funds at the high school nearly $50
was collected. The monev is still
coming in and all indications point
toward an over-subscription. Frank
Mccormick ha5 yet to report about
the citizen contributions for the
fund. About 5000 is needed to round
out a suitable and s~erviceablt track.
City Engineer Booz has promised his
cooperation and Mr.. Mccormick is
giving his time and energy toward
the successful completion of the
drive. The latter Is at present coach
ing the track squad in preparation
for future dual meets.
The city will be greatly benefited
if a track is built. If the city take:
the proper interest a large play
ground can be constructed there at
nominal cost. The Wonderland tract
faces the waterfront and an idea
bathing beach could be : 1t up.

urOdy.
The ~cancellins of the game also
gives Coach Waddell a chance to rest
up his star hurler, Nuns Nedswic-
Xxi, for the clash with the seashore
aggregation. Had the game been
played this afternoon the local Iron
man" would have heaved them
across as Ray Carbon is still laid up
with his sprained ankle and the
Crimson and White mentor does not
wish to take a chance with his young
pitcher, Elliot Wilson. Nedswicki
should be in superb form on Satur-
day as he has had a weeks rest and
II properly supported another victory
should be recorded. Last year the
midget right-hander dropped an ST
eleven inning game to the Ocean
Grove school nine.
In the game on Saturday the locals
will be minus the services of Ras-
mussen and Larson, two outfielders
Of the Crimson nine. Their places
will be taken care Of by Macmillan
and Ceres, two capable performers.
The rest of the lineup on Saturday
Is expected to be the same as in the
previous contests. Westerfeld has
proven to be a capable mar on the
initial sack while in the outfield
hutton Is up We'll.
Next week the locals have two
games, n at home and one away.
Wednesday afternoon the Keyport
high nine will oppose the Amboys on
the r. c. w. field while on Friday
afternoon South River high school
nine will be opposed by the State
street boys at the cross river town.
The latter contest will have an i'm
p%ortant bearing on the county cham
pionship.

sion or bungalow?
Generosity is relative. You may be
able and perfectly willing to bestOw
any of the named gifts upon q friend
or relative and yet not be generous.
Any one Of them may represent to you
mere bauble, and to the recipient It
may be but a duplication of one al
ready possessed and of no particular
value or enjoyment. In fact, the
thought might be held that you should
have done better.
A generous gift represents some sac
rifice upon the part Of the giver. It
might Involve a sacrifice of money, or
time, or service, but often little sacrl.
flee of pride will make some one happy.
To suppress real or imaginary
wound to the feelings and sincerely
and frankly re-establish cordial rela-
lions with q friend would be one of
the most generous gifts one could be-
stow, even though that friend might
lack nothing In the way of wealth or
other apparent means to the normal
enjoyment of life.
There are cases where q sacrifice of
money would relieve real distress: a
little time and sympathy might give
new impetus to disordered existence:
a gift of utility might relieve physical
pain and Inconvenience; a gift Of beau
ty might bring happiness for the mo.
ment; a gift of food might save phys
ical life.
All of these undoubtedly would add
to the enjoyment Of the recipient. for
the time, at least and the giver would
have certain satisfaction In doing
something to that end.
But In the complexities Of the mod
ern life more people are hungry for
some ones heart-interest than for anv
other one thing.
To give of your heart is q generous
gift that will make every recipient
glad, and also the giver. Such a elf,
will enrich the life and soul of him who
receives 1t, and most of all, viii I'LL the
life of him who proffers 1t with the
music of the eternal symphonies.
