HuguenOt BdIItOSSerS
Clash WithAquehOngaS
I'm Twilight Encounter

Art Romer, field manager of tn
Aquehonga baseball nine of Totem
vile, probably will send Crate to
the mound tonight against the
Huguenot baseball nine of Hugue-
not, s. 1. One by one. the tossers
of Messrs. Enrich and Romer; hope
to eliminate contenders for the dia-
mond championship of Staten Island.
The veteran Tottenville south
paw pitcher has occupied the mound
for his team in the three contests
started since he became field man
ager of the Aquehonga aggregation.
The first Viking game was called in
the third inning on account of rain
and in a twilight contest last week,
the Eagles of Pleasant Plains, a col
ored nine, were beaten by Romer's
forces. The Vikings, who hail from
Port Richmond, were brought back
last Sunday and received a real
lacing. The cop ball-tosser showed
old time form in both engagements.
Inasmuch as a strong team has
been booked for this Sunday after
noon, the veteran probably will send
the former Huguenot twirler against
his old teammates in tonight's twi-
light affair. Ches Nesley of this city
will do the backstopping for the
home club, and the remainder of
the lineup will be practically the

Lightnings May Have Sever
al New Men for Coming
Season

With the court season of 1928
1924 near at hand the Lightnings of
South Amboy leading contenders for
the light senior championship last
season. are making extensive prep
arations for the opening of their bas-
ketball season at home and abroad.
The Lightning five lost but two
contests last season, one of which
was to the Jr. o. U. A. NJ. quintet
for the championship of the cross
river city. and the other to the EN-
ployed Boys Brotherhood of the
Perth Amboy Y. NJ. C. A. The lat
ter defeat came when the South
Amboy courtsters changed from two
hand to one-hand dribble for their
last game of the The Light
nings also scored a win over the
local team on the local high school
court.
Triggs, Mcdonnell, Barty, Alex
and Kennedy made up the lineup
last year. 1t is probable several
changes will be made in the arrange
ment of the players.
II no other team represents South
Amboy this season, the Lightnings
| will play at the high school auditor
jun on John street, while travelling
games will also be played. Joseph
Gereghty, of Stevens avenue, will
! again manage the team this season

Although Babe" Ruth increased
his lead over Harry Heilman in the
American league batting race, the
New York Yankees yesterday drop
ped the first contest of their series
with the Detroit Tigers. The final
score was 6-3, a close decision in
the sixth session turning the tide.

Heilman went hitless in three times
up.
The Giants and Cincinnati were

Prepared by George
the Greek

Another wrestling show has been
scheduled for Columbia Hall on
State street tomorrow night. George
the Greek, claimant of the middle
weight championship of this state
will take on Young Olsen, of Newark,
a contender for the title held by the
local resident. George is the pro-
moter of this show another card hav-
ing presented in the State street hall
several weeks ago.
George the Greek gave a sensation
al exhibition in his first appearance
here this season, throwing a strong
opponent in two straight falls after
having been downed in the first
bout. The Greek mailman, who is
well known in this city, South Am
boy. Elizabeth and Plainfield, claims
that he has never lost q match. In
Olsen the Greek will meet a worthy
opponent and 1t is probable that the
match tomorrow night will go three
falls, the same as the last bout.
In a semi-final match, Young Par
dello, of New York, will wrestle Joe
Markowitz the Polish light heavy
weight champion. This match also
will be the best two out of three falls

full showing at the last show, and
was placed on the card at the re-
quest of the wrestling fans OF this

will open the show. Men will be as
sessed for tomorrow nights event
and ladies will be admitted free.

pilot the local favorites, in addition
to which he will doubtless perform
with the Brooklyn Professionals in

baseball team dropped a 40 contest
to the F'raternal Order of Eagles
nine on the Bucceleuch Park
grounds, New Brunswick, last night.
The Eagles represent the county seat
in twilight contests.
The game last night was fast and
hard fought throughout, nine in
nings having been played. Haver-
man occupied the mound for the
Eagles and his speed was a real as
set in the dark. Joe Wood started
on the mound for the visitors, and
Mickey Milchick finished the game.
Six hits were collected by the New
Brunswick representatives as against
one for the visitors. The safety
was credited to "Bunt'' Pfeiffer. cen-

Huguenot has been travelling at a
fairly good pace and the players will
try their hardest tonight to down
Romer's forces. This team will take
the field in the regular fashion.
Amboy Series Coming
It is undertook that the Tottenville
baseball leaders are prepared for the
start of the Amboy series. Manager
Romer would like to play the AM
boys, the second Sunday in Septem-
Der, while the Amboys have offered

man in addition to pitching a great
game, welded a wicked bludgeon,
leading the victorious team at the
bat.
The Dublins took the field with
Wood and Jay Wallace in the points,
John Burke, Tom Burke, Gus Mes
ley and Benny Gloff in the infield
positions, and Zehrer, Pfeiffer and
Flynn in the outer gardens. Leahy
played a half game in right garden.
On Sunday afternoon the Dublins
will cross bats with the Amboys on
the local diamond and it is said,
that Manager Sheehan of the Glee

semi-pro twirler to the local dia-
mond for this contest. Several other

will be left when age finally gets
the best of Scotty.
Joe, a protege Of Jack Dunn.
veteran Oriole manager, is said to
possess the most wonderful hands
in baseball. He is a big Lacquer in
every respect and is ready to step
right in and deliver the goods, say
scouts who have seen him in action.
Dunn Spurns Other Offers
Several clubs in the majors have
tried to land him. Dunn admits he
recently turned down a 100000 Of
lfer from Brooklyn. But Jack has
been holding on to his speedy short
stop, for he realizes the position he
fills is the keystone of an inield.
The new inield at the Yankee
Stadium is chain lightning. 1t is
troubling Everett considerably. An
other year may be his limit.
Officials of the New York team
will neither deny nor confirm the
reported transaction with Dunn.
Neither will the Oriole pilot, accord
ing to word from Baltimore.

Tom Denny of Plainheld. will be
one Of the boxmen available for
service with the Amboys, in the lat
ter's first Three-M League contest
on Saturday afternoon. The Yard
vile, N. ]. nine will furnish the op-
position to the locals IN this encoun-
ter.
Manager Poulsen will have Daugh-
erty, Flynn, Denny, Johnson and a
Newark twirler, whose name has
not been announced, available for
service in the two weekend games
one with Yardville and the second
with the Dublin Glee Club on next
Sunday afternoon. johnson Is the
North Amboy lad, who made a sue
cessful showing on the mound for
the Amboys, against the Michelin
combination of Midtown last Sat
urday.
The Plainield boxman pitched the
Carteret Field Club to a victory over
the fast going Elizabeth Knights Of
Columbus nine on Casey field in
! Betsytown last Sunday. The Caseys
have been defeated only three time
in about twenty-five starts this sum-
mer. With the hard hitting Amboy
team behind him, he should go big
in the three county circuit.
Yardville last Saturday lost a hard
battle to the strong Freehold COM
bination. Freehold tailed nine runs
in the ninth inning, tieing the score,
and won out in the tenth. Aicer
Jensen started on the hill for Free
hold in this game, but was sent to
cover before the close Of the per-
game was postponed until a later
date. The contest will no doubt be
played on the Helmetta diamond and
will in all probability be holly con-
tested, as the two outfits are about
rated on even terms and intense rfv-
airy exists between them.
At Jamesburg tonight the South
Amboy team will have no easy mat
ter in disposing Of their opponents,
as it will be remembered the James
| burg team has been defeated only
once this season. This setback came
about on Tuesday night when the
Polish Giants scored an interesting
20 contest over the down county
team.
Just who will do the twirling for
the "Y" tonight has not been an
nounced, but it is expected that the
! rest of the regular lineup will be
used. Jamesburg will also take the
field in regular fashion. The South
Amboy manager requests that all
members of the association team be
present at the club rooms at 4 O'Clock
as the trip is to be made early in
order that nine innings may be
played.
