PIONEERSPUY CLOVER NINE Light Senior Opponents Clash on Lumber Field Grounds Sunday Afternoon Tho Pioneer and Clover baseball teams, two local light senior organ izations, will clasli on the Lumber field diamond Sunday afternoon. Both of these teams have made good records so far this year, and an in teresting game is expected. Thi- con test will in all probability have some thing to do with the deciding of the light senior champions o£ this city, as these two teams are leaders in this class. The Clover team has met many of the leading teams in this city and vicinity, although the combination has been organized only one season. Tho Pioneers have made a good rec ord on tho diamond this season. Manager Bonalsky’s team has been organized for several seasons. Oldenboom and H. Lovd will be in the points fur the Clovers team in this contest, while Thorvie Olsen end Letts will make up the battery of the Pioneer combination. Olden boom is a southpaw, and Olsen a righthander. This game will start promptly at 3 o’clock, and a big crowd is expected to turn out. There have been a number of games played already this season be tween teams, contenders for the light senior championship, and It is possible that some of these teams will challenge the winner of Sun day’s game.

Sport Comment in All Fields Catchers succeed as managers be cause they know the game better than any other member of the team. Every play pivots about a catcher. He is more than a receiver and a guardian of the base where runs are scored. He runs the team. Half of the big league managers today have been backstops in their day. Bill Killifer, newly appointed skipper of the Cubs, makes the eighth. Other managers who have run their teams from behind the bat are Fred Mitchell of the Braves, Branch Rickey ot the Cards, George Gibson of the Pirates, Wilbert Robinson of the Dodgers, Pat Moran of the Reds. Connie Mack of the Athletics and Lee Fohl of the Browns. All but Mack, Fohl and Rickey have won pennants. Killifer hasn't had a chance yet. Standpatters Harvard will not change its foot ball system this fall. The old reliable style which has brought honor to Cambridge is good enough for them. Last year tho Crimson eleven de parted from the A. B. C. fundament als only to meet special attacks of opposing teams. These special departures did not meet always with success. Harvard has always had weight, generalship and good coaching, and methods that are traditional. Habit These two things are hard to har monize: Ty Cobb is badly handicapped by a partial cataract over his right eye. Ty Cobb is runner-up for batting It is true that Cobb's eye is af fected. The growth Is getting worse. But he keeps right on cracking the apple. Ty would still be a slugger if he only had one eye. He hits from force of habit. Knack Good shooting eyes never go back much. •t. P. Heikes, winner of the first Grand American Handicap trapshoot in 1900, is still a contender in big shoots. He'll be in the blue ribbon classic at Chicago the week of Aug ust 22. Heikes won the Grand American with a score of 91 at 22 yards. Woolfolk of Dayton, O., was the only other man to win the big shoot at this distance. He broke 98 targets for high score in 1914. Shooting is a knack, especially with a shotgun at the traps. Once you get it you keep it. But the handicap in distances ha# so far kept any champion from repeating. Bitterness Benny Leonard and Lew Tendler are farther apart today than they ever were. The old feeling of bitterness has been revived and intensified since the breakoff of the match. Tendler's supporters freely say that Leonard found he could not do 135 pounds and he strong enough for the Philadelphian and purposely sprained his thumb. Leonard has nothing to say but that the accident was a lucky thing for Tendler. If this tight ever does pop, it is going to be good. Violations of State Law Prove Costly for 749 Defendants During Year [By Evening News Correspondent.! TRENTON, Aug. 18.—Violations of the fish and game laws proved a costly practice as well as unsports manlike for 749 defendants in New Jersey for the year ending June 30, as shown by a report made public today by the State Fish and Game Commission. The total amount of fines collected was $18,296. State Game Protector James II. Stratton says this is the greatest number of prosecutions in one year in the his tory of the department. The fact that the acquittals numbered only twenty-four shows the efficiency with which the state wardens pro cured the evidence against the viola tors. The most important cases during the year were those convicted in the crusade of the commission to stop the taking of undersized lobsters. There were many such prosecutions in some of which flnp.s as high as $300 were imposed. The penalty is $20 for each lobster. Most of these violations occur in the Nerth Jersey shore section and the Shrewsbury river and most of the violators are non-residents. Determined to break up this tile gal business, the risn ana uame Commission has purchased a speedy power boat twenty-eight feet long to patrol those waters. The boat has been named the “Amos" after Con gressman Amos H. RadclifTe of Pat erson, for many years a member of the commission and still serving on it. There were during the year more than a dozen convictions on charges of catching fish with otter trawls, which is expressly prohibited. The penalty is $200. In many cases the guilty hunters' licenses were revoked and sixty-two guns were confiscated from aliens. HIGH TIDE TABLE A. M. P. M.

"I’ve been shooting at a .400 year ever since I came, up." Hornsby hit .370 in 1920, winning the National League swat crown. His eyes are extraordinarily large. And he has mastered the art of keep ing them focused on a whizzing base ball. He came up to the Cardinals from the Western Association in 191G. He was only a .250 hitter as a minor leaguer. Each year he has shown improve ment with the bat excepting in 191 S, when his average dropped to .281. Besides being a slugger, Hornsby 13 laicu na uic laoiooi uin.ii in mv National League. Some credit him with being: faster than any of the American Leaguers, also. Natural speed and ability; clean living, early to bed and a close study of the game have made him one of the game’s greatest stars. BI-STATE MY Interest in an inter-state bowl ing league to be formed during the coming winter is already being shown by followers of this game. Barney Christiansen, of Tottenville, and Clarence Hoffman and William Pemberton of this city, are said to be interested in starting such an organization. According to plans, a team from Pleasant Plains, S. I., one or two from Tottenville, one from South Amboy. Roosevelt, Parlin and New Brunswick, and one or more from this city, could make up the circuit. Interest in such a league is as keen on the island as in this city and ad joining towns, is is said. Plans could bo laid to hold a meeting at which a representative of each team desiring to enter the league could be asked to attend. There is a great deal of interest in bowling, in the localities around which the circuit would be formed, and there is no reason for expecting failure. On Staten Island every year a successful bowling league is run. and in this vicinity in past seasons leagues proved successful. It is believed that if a number of leaders in bowling circles in this vicinity would get together at this time and interest bowlers in other towns, all arrangements for a league could be completed by the time the bowling season is here. West Amboys Without Game Manager Bathe's West Amboy baseball team is without a game for this Sunday. This outfit would like to arrange a game with any semi pro nine in the state having home grounds.

The Saints and Mata wans have been re-booked for this Sunday afternoon, and the winner of the game will play Manager Mul len’s team in the second game of the afternoon. There was a big turnout last Sun day to see the two teams in action, inasmuch as the contest was the de ciding game of a series, and because :he followers of tho respective teams desired to see their favorites in ac tion against one of the strongest , teams in this section. Jeroff was on tho mound for the Saints last Sun day, and succeeded in holding his opponents away from the plate for three innings. Haverman opposed him, and held the Saints scoreless for two innings. Jeroff will prob ably he the choice of the home team for mound service in Sunday’s game while Haverman or Slocum will carry the pitching burden for the Mata wan team. It is possible that there will be changes in the lineup of both teams in this game. Both the Matawan nine and the St. Anthony’s ate desir ous of getting a crack at the Am boy combine, and this may be their only chance. Young will pitch for the Saints in the second contest, if • First Practice Sept. 14--Teb Coaches This Year, Led by Bill Roper _ 1 PRINCETON, Aug. 18.—Football practice will begin September 14, with the varsity coaching stall un* changed, according to an announce* ment by George R.
