PERTH AMBOY OUTFIT
PLAYS ROYAL GIANTS
HERE THIS EVENING

A record crowd for a twilight IN
counter in this city is expected at
the Raritan Copper Works field to-
night to see the Royal Colored
Giants, one of the greatest colored
teams in the country today, in action
against Ed Poulsen's Perth Amboys.
In the third Sunday game on the
locals schedule this season, the
Giants were victorious, 7-3. To-
nights game will start at $3.50
o'clock.
"Stringbean'' Williams, who pitch
ed the first game against the locals,
probably will receive the assign
ment again tonight, while Daugh-
erty Is expected to do the twirling
for the home club. The Royals are
one of the leading contenders for
the co1ored championship of the
east, all of the strongest colored
teams in this section of the country
being represented in this circuit this
season.
Manager Poulsen IS working hard
to make twilight baseball go here,
and inasmuch as he is booking COM
binations in the class of the House
Of David, Royal Giants, Meadow
brooks of Newark, Doherty Silk Sox,
ETC., he should be given the proper
support. The crack Newark aggre-
cation has been carded for a week
from tomorrow night.
Since the start of the locals pres
ent streak and in fact since the start
of the season, the fans have been
yelling for the Royals, Cubans,
Meadowbrooks and teams of like
strength. When these teams appear
here, the fans should turn out in
proper numbers. Local magnates
dating back at least five years, have
tried to bring the Meadowbrooks to
this city and were unsuccessful.
The Royals will take the field
Perth Amboy evening news., 1923-08-03

Brooks, Cason, Wagner, Rector and
Hill behind the plate and in the in
field and outfield Positions, and the
pitcher will be chosen from Flour
noy. c. Rector, C%annonball Redding,
Stringbean Williams, Lefty Starks
and Mountain Hubbard.
Eddie Einhorn. the hard-hitting
all around balltosser, recently ac-
CURED by Manager Poulsen, will be
In right field tonight. Tom McAuliffe
and Mickey Loseer will occupy the
outield Positions, Lidgate will do
the receiving, and Smith, Burnett,
Ruddy and McEnroe will play the in
field. Einhorn will be here for the
balance of the season.
The Meadowbrooks at the present
time have Otto Rettig, Krunemaker
and Marty Cavanaugh, formerly of
league fame, and Nick Nance,
former Amboy balltosser. This team
was originally carded to appear here
Tuesday night, but the Newark
manager moved the date to next
Friday night SO as to bring his
strongest club here.
Manager Poulsen is negotiating
for the appearance of the Nebraska
Indians and the Doherty Silk Sox on
the local field. After making a sur
vey of conditions the local pilot
has decided not to enter the Three
county baseball league, to take the
place of Yardville. A travelling series
with teams in this circuit may be
arranged.
Landings Strong
Three or -four hundred fans will
accompany the Landing baseball
team of New Brunswick to this city

COLORED CHAMPS ON COPPER FIELD FOR ECON
ISLAND ELKS
EASILY WIN SECOND
CONTEST OF SERIES

Pitcher Wilson of the Staten Is
land Elk baseball team of Stapleton
had the Aquehonga b~alltossers of
Tottenville eating out of his hand in
a twilight contest on the Tottenville
diamond last night. AS a result of
his masterful pitching, and the abil-
ity of his teammates to get To the
offerings of Austin Bull" Hornsby
Of this city. the Elks evened their
annual Staten Island championship
series with Manager Kreischer's
outfit. The final score of last nights
game was IL.
The Aquehongas had an easy time
winning the first game of the series
which was played on Sisco field,
S~tapleton about two weeks ago. The
series opener was played on a Tues
day night and the Elks were schedu-
led to appear at Tottenville the fol-
lowing night. This contest was put
off until last night to enable the
Elks to bolster up.
The home team drew first blood
by tal1ying their only counter in the
second frame. A base on balls, an
out and two wild throws enabled
Abrogast to go over with the Aque-
hongas only run of the engagement.
In the third inning the opposition
took the lead by scoring two runs
and held the same for the balance OF
the game. Two doubles, with a stol-
en- base and a pass sandwiched in
sent the runner s~currying over with
the tying and winning runs. Two
more were added in the fifth as a
result of a single which was follow
| ed by Backstop Arlington's home rur
clout over the right field fence, the
ball hitting the house on the outside
of the fence.
An error by Abrogast and two
hits gave the Elks two more runs
in the eighth and their final rur
was made in the last session wher
a double and three singles rebound
ed off the visitors warclubs. Ont
man was caught at the plate in tht
ninth inning. Three of the Elk
rallies were put across after twt
men had been retired.

Five little ball games. all in row. have been stretched along the path of the past week by the Crackers like so many little wooden collins, telling their mute tale of disaster and woe in someone's life. Joe Dunn's men stand as much chance of wlning ball game from the Crackers as the ice cream cone man in Hades.
 Wal now. ah reckons this Is getting to be rediculous," a pious old farmer once said. when he stumped his toe after silently enduring loss of his COW, his chickens. his barn, his farm, his wife, his children and himself being reduced to the poorhouse in successive tragedies.
 That's the way the railbirds feel. A long suffering clan, they have about reached the limit of their endurance. and they are about willing to admit that It's getting ridiculous"
 The Barons don't seem able to respond to tinkering at all. and it doesn't seem that they are rounding into form at all-not winning form, at least.
 Atlanta Thursday won Its fifth straight game from the Barons, and when the Crackers-only a fair team at best-can so thor oughly trounce a team, then it's time to look into the 'ridicu- ous" situation
 It's n strange situation, even stranger than 1t appears on the outside. From all appearances. Birmingham has wonderful collection of ball players, all skilled, experienced men. They seem to be well placed by Joe Dunn, and yet they show no luck whatever when it comes to win- ming ball games.
 An absolutely unprejudiced ob- server would probably respond in answer to the eternal query, What's the matter with the Barons?" something like this: Reorganization
 Man for man, not much im- provement could be made on the team in Class A ball Also, there Is baseball brains enough back of the team, for Joe Dunn is recognized as a baseball strategist.
 Then something more subtle than a mere slump or lack of material must be the matter. Disorganization would seem to

 DfsorganiEatiOn could mean many things. For One-mOst dangerous of nll-there might be internal dissatisfaction, or strife among the players. The least bit of "crabbing" can throw n worlds championship tenn so thoroughly off it's game that Il bush leaguer would not be out chased. Mir. Joe Dunn, if there is internal strife among those boys, go the limit in stamping it out, ns you would in crushing the life from n many headed rep tile.
 It is not for the fans to tear into Joe Dunns team and find it's faults and point them out. Neith- CT is it the place of the sport scribe to pick to pieces and ad- wise those in charge on what to do and what not to do. But somebody is surely responsible, and something most surely ought to be done.
 Competition in the league Is not so stiff that a team of the Barons' class must founder around just above the cellar, Birmingham, with it's two hun dred thousand. won't stand for a seventh or eighth place team, and time is almost upon us when action is essential.
 That ragtime song, "DOn't Think You'll He Missed When You're Gone." doesn't apply ut all to the Barons' visit to At- Inntn, and the Crackers pleas as Joe Dunn's men threaten to wind up that disastrous series.
