SHEEHAN WRITES ON USING
OF STRATTON- -MONAKER

The following communication
concerning the move made by the
new baseball promoters, Messrs.
Loeser and Rogers, in singing Les
Stratton and Bob Monaker, of
South Amboy, for the new team,
was sent to the Sporting Editor of
the Evening News by Bill Sheehan,
former local baseball promoter:
Sporting Editor,
Evening News,
"Dear Sir:
"After reading in the columns of
your valuable paper last night in
regards to the signing by the local
baseball managers of Stratton and
Monaker, two South Amboy men, 1t
forces me to wonder If the new
managers are under the impression
that the Perth Amboy baseball fans
are dead.
when I was promoting baseball
in this city was subjected to num-
erous criticisms of the fans for the
calibre of some of my men, who by
far outranked such men as these.
and there is no douot that the fans
will also register their disapproval
of men of this calibre by not attend
ing games at the r. c. w. field.
There are plenty of men, the
calibre of Stinson, Pfeiffer. Kocheck.
etc, to be had and it is easy to be
seen that the new promoters are of
the opinion that such men as
Stratton and Monaker are the best
men obtainable for the money they
are getting, and they are.
Yours very truly,
(Signed)
W. F. sheehan.

With crippled lineup, the South
Amboy Y. M. G. A. baseball team will
take on the Du Pont diamonders this
afternoon on the cross river associa-
ton diamond.
Owing to the fact that several OF
the plant teams in this section have
taken a big part of the Y. Nj. c. AS
leading players, the South Amboy
team has been forced to use a
scrape-up team for the past few
weeks. Several of the ~" players
are now on the Du Pont roster.
At any rate the game today Is ex-
pected to be an interesting one. Both
teams have won over the Raritan
Copper Works nine of this city, and
have lost to the American Smelling
and Refining Company nine. These
two plant teams being about the
strongest in the county. the two
teams that clash today are about
evenly matched

In a recent contest Norman Ross,

had jumped overheard, balked the
angler and won the match. Despite
the anglers skill the human fish

It's strange how the big ones al
ways get away. Ask Bill Hilker
about the one that struck his plug at

Fishing is reported as excellent at
Fortescue. Judge Hommann and
William B. Pratt are enjoying the
game down there and will probably
get their share of fish.
Recently huge Tuna have been
taken off the Jersey coast. TWO were
taken off Bradley Beach a few days
ago, one weigfihing 900 pounds and
the other 500 pounds. Both were

OUR OUTDOoRsMAN SAYS

There are big differences in fishing
tackle. Fishing tackle differs as day
and night. You may pay the same
for two rods and find one much bet
ter than the other, and the same ap-
plies to reels and lines. The better
your tackle the more you will get out
of your fishing trips, and the surest
way to select the best is to pick those
that have earned a reputation. De-
eide what you want, pay a fair price
for it and after you get 1t take care
of it. There is a lot of satisfaction
in having good tackle and the only
way to keep it is to give it the care
and attention it deserves.
