FUR WILL FLY
IN ROTARY GAME
The Woodbridge and Amboy
Teams to Clash Wednesday
at Paddy Rocks Place

Paddy Rocks ball field, adjoining
his place in Old Bridge, will be the
battle-ground for the Perth Amboy
and Woodbridge Rotary Club base
ball teams when they clash next
Wednesday. Although Capt. John
Kreger has gone so far as to an
nounce his star lineup indications are
that the score will read like a PIN
ochle score at the end of the game.
The Amboy manager refuses to di-
vulge the names of the players for,
fear that the townshipites will bet
line on their curves, signals, system
of play. strategy, etc.
Speaking of strategy, there should
be plenty of it in this game in order
to save the effort and exertion of
tearing around the base and chasing
the spheroid in the outer gardens. It
is possible some of the header play
ers will try to- walk backwards to
third base instead of running to first.
thus saving the strength necessary
to run around all three sacks. The
members of the Amboy team will be
given a theoretical talk on how the
game should be played by Irving
Demarest before the battle starts, af-
ter which Aylin Pierson will con-
tribute a discourse on: "Play as
say. not as 1 do.''
Woodbridge is not in the least
worried over the outcome of the
game. They figure they don't have
to prove their ability-they admit
it already. Capt. John Kreger has
gone SO far as to not only announce
the lineup of his Woodbridge team
but has announced the positions
they will play-at the start of the
game. Some unexpected changes
are possible before the game ends.
Every members who does not start
the game will be held in reserve as
a pinch hittr or utility man.
Captain Kreger will be assisted
in handling the twirling assignment
by big Dave" Brown, who will
feel perfectly at home on a ball field
although it is quite a few years
since he swung at the offerings of
opposing pitchers. Judge Leon Nc
Elroy will don the cage and chest
protector and try to pick them off
the Amboy's bats. Andy Keyes Is
liable to find himself on the initial
sack as the other fellows must
blame somebody foi errors and the
first baseman has more chances
than any to muff the sball. Ray

Hargis ,Prall had 10 have a posi-
ton in the infield 30 that he could
give account of the game in his
newspaper and as a result he finds
himself assigned to the third sack

guards and try to keep the hard,

sisting of a shipbuilder, undertaken
