TO PLAY HERE
Well Known Roosevelt Star
Will Play Initial Sack
This Sunday
William Scally of Roosevelt has
been signed to play first base for
the Perth Amboy Athletic Associa
tion nine and he will play hia first
game with the local team next Sun
day morning against the Red Bank
Orioles on the latter's field.
Scally. It will be remembered,
v.-as an Important link in the lineup
of the Roosevelt Field Club and
Wheeler Condenser teams of the
borough in former seasons. Both
of these teams were strong contend
ers for Middlesex county and indus
trial championship honors in former
seasons, with Perth Amboy repre
sentative teams as their strongest
opponents.
It is expected that Henshaw may
be shifted back to second base or
probably to shortstop through the
acquisition of Scally. Scally has
been playing the initial sack for
Connelly's Stars of Elizabeth, the
combination which is tied with the
Knights of Columbus for leadership
of the Union county league.
Another pitcher may be added to
the roster of the Perth Amboy
representative team because of the
fact that Shafnecker Injured his
arm In the game here last Sunday
afternoon. The opposition booked
for this Sunday on the local field Is
the Plalnflelds of New York. This
team defeated the Recreations of
Plainfield on the latter's field early
In the season.
ACMES PLAY
Amboy Team Hopes to Break
Winning Streak of This
Team
"Panny” Terio's Acme baseball
team will travel to Somerville this
Saturday afternoon, to cross bat*
with the Somerville A. A. baseball
team. The Somerville nine has an
nexed its last seven games and the
home players are confident of ex
tending their streak at the expense
of the Amboyans In this game.
Manager Terio’s forces made a fa
vorable showing against the Clover
nine on the Raritan Copper works
Held last Sunday afternoon, and the
New Brunswick avenue pilot is of
the opinion that but for a bad break
in the first inning, his team would
have carried off the bacon.
The lineup of the Acme team for
this game has not been announced,
but it is probable that several posi
tions will be strengthened. The
pitching choice has not been an
nounced. although Manager Terlo is
making every effort to secure the
services of Brownmiller who pitched
against the Clovers, Sunday.

title from him at Toledo.
"I am in dead earnest about
this.” he said. "I want to meet
Dempsey again becarase I believe I
can beat him. If I get another
chance I will try to prove It was only
a lucky punch that gave him the
victory over me before."

against the Royal Colored Giants.
Cuban Stars and teams of similar

Bakolite Garnet To Be 1
Ruled On Friday Night,
Rain Prevents Cnntest
The New Jersey Terra Cotta- i
Perth Amboy Dry Dock* baseball '
toirest »at postponed last night be
iai se of rail.. This game probably
will be Jlryetl in the near future,
inasmuch as the two combinations
are tied for leadership in the league
at the present time.
It is probable that the game be
tween the Bakelite-Perth Amboy
Hardware teams scheduled for to
night. will be played on the Won
derland Park grounds ar.d that .ail
future games in the industrial league
will be stag'd on this field.
At the meeting of the team rep
resentatives in the Y. M. C. A. on
Friday night, the playing field mat
ter probably w.ll be taken bp as well
a.t the recent performaocvr of the
Bakelite te-n Last Fridar night
the Bakelite outfit defeated the
Perth Amboy Dry Dock team by a
2-1 score in an eleven tuning con
test, and on Monday night the New
Jersej Te a Cclta team bowed -o
the BakeUtes to the tune cf a 3-4
score.
Both games, however, the only
victories gained by the Bakelite
team in this circuit were protested
before the start of the game be-1
cause of the tact that the B-ikelPe
team used unregistered players. For
the interest of the league It might
be a good Idea for fl.e re present. -
tlves to count these games :n lav >r
of the Bakelite tear/ U r with this
lineup the Bakelite outft can fur
nish interesting opposition to all
other organizations in tbe circuit.
With the Bakeiite team using its
present lineup, the Perth Amboy
iiardware combination is the only
team entered in the circuit which
might be considered outclassed by
the other entries, and If this team
could be strengthened in some way,
it would be for the good of the
league.
Previous to the recent perform
ances of the Bakelite team, when
ever the Hardware or Bakelite
teams were scheduled to play, llttls
interest was taken in the games be
cause the result was known before
the game was started.
Closer Junkirs Booking
Games with any light junior teams
are desired by the Clover juniors.
I. on Is Horner. 303 Washington
street, is manager. Teams averaging
from IS to 15 years are preferred.
