BOXER CANNOT
MEET NELSON ON MONDAY

Hobby williams, of Freehold,
could not be obtained for a return
bout with Tiger Nelson of the local
Pioneer Club, in the semi windup
event on the Arena Club card in
Trenton, on Monday night, so the
proposed rematch has been put off
for week or two. Nelson kayoed
williams in the second round of the
first contest and the fact that the To-
cal Dane was sent down for count
of eight in the first round OF the
bout, caused the move for the re-
match.
Tommy Sally, another PIONEER
Club battler, was scheduled to meet
the conqueror of Young Adams, of
this city, at Mondays show, but as
the Williams bout is off, 1t
has been decided to postpone this
match for the same length of time.
In the semi final contest on, Mon
days program, Carl Morris, of Car
teret, is to fight George Russell.
Morris made his debut in Trenton
last Monday night by registering a
one round knockout.

ON HOME FIELD
Carteret Field Club to Engage
CreScents of PIainfieId
at Brady's Oval

Two old rivals. the Crescents, of
Plainfield, and the Carteret Field
Club, of the borough, are to lock
horns on Brady's Oval. In the bor-
ough tomorrow afternoon.

formed by Messrs. O'Rorke and
Staubaci1, has taken part in two
contests to date, defeating the Har-
rison Hudsons, of Harrison, N. j.,
and the Belmonts, of Elizabeth.
Both games were decided by big
scores.
Dick Early, of Railway, is doing
the pitching for the borough ma
chine, and Field Manager Brady is
on the receiving end. The battery
work has been big help to the
opening victories.
In former seasons, the Crescents
and borough nine have played some
interesting contests. and NOT
fought battle is looked for tomor-
row. The Queen City team is COM
Ing down with it's strongest lineup
in an effort to start its 1924 cam
paign in Middlesex with a victory.

Interesting Game Carded for
Township Field Tomorrow
Good Pitching Expected

Alex Sabo's Woodbridge Hungar-
ian Reformed Club baseball nine ex-
poets another tough contest on the
home field tomorrow afternoon,
when the White Eagles, of Carteret,
come over to furnish the opposition.
This will be the initial tilt for the
borough ball team.
Sabo's representative team Of the
township has engaged such combina-
tions as the Pioneer and C1overs of
this city. and a creditable showing
has been made in every encounter.
Before the close OF the campaign a
bid may be made for county senior
honors.
For the home team tomorrow af-
ternoon, Kara, the strilScout king, of
the township, will handle the hurl-
ing assignment, and he will be sup
ported by his usual strong collection
of tossers. Kara is credited with
being one Of the leading pitchers in
county senior circles this campaign,
and he will turn in great many
victories before the end of the sum
mer.
Makwinski or Love will draw the
pitching assignment for the White
Eagle nine, and followers of the
Carteret team are of the opinion
that either one of these men will
give Kara an interesting duel for
honors. The remainder of the line
up will be filled by capable SEN
ior baseball men.
The contest will be called prompt
1y at $3.50 O'clock and q neutral Of
ffcial will be in charge. A record
crowd is expected out as their is a

1eft-neld hitter play much closer to

your batters. take into consideration

and shift accordingly.
Always Concentrate on Your Game
The part the pitcher plays-Very
often an infielder Is made to look
foolish by having a batter hit
through the spot that he has vacat-
ed. This slip can often be traced
back to the failure of the pitcher to
deliver the ball called for. Getting
crossed in signals often makes the
infielder look foolish.
Concentrrte-Keep your mind on
the ball game. Carry on no CONVEX

Worlds Greatest Second Baseman

Cover the bag-I offer that slo-
gan for every second baseman. On
every ball that Is hit always have
In mind the play that may arise at
your bag and be ready for it.
Work with your shortstop-There
should be a perfect understanding
between the second baseman and
shortstop. For smooth play 1t Is
necessary that the shortstop and sec
ond baseman know who IL to cover
the bag. This can be done by the
use Of a simple yet obvious sign.
Get the catcher's signs-The sec
ond baseman should be familiar
with the battery signs. so that he
knows just what style of ball is
going to be pitched. This enables
him to shift on his batters SO as to
be in the best possible position at
all times.
On an attempted steal-when
the understanding between short
stop and second baseman calls for
the second baseman to cover the

attempted steal he should make it
