It has been announced that Doc Scanlon would oppose South River In tomorrow's tussle.

NATIONALS AND ACMES TO PLAY Local Squads to Battle on Pardee Field The Nationals and Acmes have hitched up and will battle on the Par dee diamond tomorrow afternoon. Early in the week the Nationals ex pected to meet the Woodbridge Tig ers but some misunderstanding caused a cancellation of that game. A good sized crowd is expected to at tend. Looking Ahead. A bnndsome young woman entered the office of a prominent lawyer. Im medintely the legal one rose to greet her. "I am glad to tell you, Miss Smith," be pleasantly remarked, "that your breach of promise suit bas been set tled. The defendant has expressed a desire to compromise the case by mar rying yon." "1 am very glad to hear that," was the smiling response of Miss Smith. *'It Is much better than taking a chance on losing the verdict Tou have managed the cas· very well. How much do I owe you?" "Let me see." thoughtfully mused the lawyer. "Shall we say $100?" "We shall not." wai the emphatic rejoinder of the fair plaintiff. "It li entirely too much." "Well, then, I will tell you what 1 ■will do. Mis* Smith," responded th« lawyer.

TO STAGE BATTLE ON COPPER WORKS FIELD; NOT IN SOUTH AMBOY St. Anthonys and Athletics to Clash Tomorrow in This Citv—Expected to Plav on Sheridan Diamond m PITCHER FOR ATHLETICS As the Franklins have announced that they will remain Idle tomorrow, the St. Anthonys and the South Atn boy Athletics will perform here in stead of playing on Sheridan field in South Amboy, where they orig inally Intended to stage the tussle between them tomorrow. The "Saints" will make provision to keep the crowd back at the copper works field tomorrow afternoon so that the players of either team will have no trouble in fielding their positions as they should. The game should prove to be a classy affair as both nines are anx ious to annex the honors. The "Saints" need the game to keep in the race for county honors and the Athletics want the decision for the same reason. Therefore, Managers O'Hara and Waters will present their strongest make-ups in tomor row's engagement. It is understood that Waters has a pitcher of strong calibre to oppose the locals on the copper works dia mond, because Murray Borlund will in all likelihood be used this after noon in the game at South Amboy against the Newark Colored Glans. The South Amboy team is raving about last Sunday's defeat at the hands of the Franklins and they want revenge in full measure which they claim can only come to them It their favorites return and trim both the "Saints" and the Franklins on the copper works diamond. Tomori row will be the ftrst chance for the Athletics to start on their expected clean-up tour. But local fans think they will have an awful time starting a winning streak against the "Saints," who are playing ia whirlwind fashion these days. BASEBALL.

FRANKLIN NINE PAYS TRIBUTE TO MAT ROOD A As a tribute to Matthew Rodda, ι the Franklin baseball team will re main Idle tomorrow afternoon. Man ager Frank Applegate has called off the scheduled game with the South Amboy Sherldans In respect to Rodda, who 1b one of the most pop ular members of the team. Rodda's bother-In-law died yesterday and ho Immediately notified the manage ment of the city champions that he would not be In their lineup eith er Saturday or Sunday. ,As the game with the T. A. C. had been widely advertised and there was practically no chance to cancel the engagement in Tottenviile, the Franklins will play there today. But the locals did have a game scheduled with the South Amboy Sheridans for tomorrow, which "Apple" cancelled so that the Frank lin tossers should lay-off as a trib ute to one of their members. Rodda Is one of the most experi enced, if not the most experienced of players in this city. Ills ab sence from the Franklin ranks will be felt at times when his kind words of advice are usually received. His "pep" and ginger will also be missed. He will be replaced by a good tosser, Eddie Regan. "Sir Edward" has been aching to get into that game and will no doubt give a good account of himself in this af ternoon's fray. TENNIS CRACKS IN 31A TCH HERE Lovers of the tennis sport in this vicinity will no doubt be pleased to learn that a match has been arranged for 10 o'clock tomorrow morning on the Perth Amboy Country Club courts in Lewis street between Ernst and Fisher, representing this city, and Duncan and Throckmorton, rep resenting Sewaren. Throckmorton has been playing on courts throughout the state and his showing has proven him to be a player of calibre. He was one of the member· of the Railway tennis team that won the championship of Union county. Hie performance with the racquet for Woodbridge high school last season put that Institution among those considered in the cham pionship class. "Teddy" Ernst and Kenneth Fish er are two of the best racquet weild ers who perform on local courts and is safe to say that the match tomor row morning will not be an easy af fair for either team whether they play singles or doubles. First Actress In London. It was a warm reception tbat was given to tbe first French players to appear In London In 1029. Tbelr vlsll was au litter failure. It was notable, however, for tbe Important Innovation wbicli was the chief cause of their unpopularity. * The luckless troupe Introduced ac tresse· for tbe tirst time on the Rug llsh stage—"thereby giving Just offence to all vertuous and well-disposed per song In thla town," wrote ·Thomas Brnnde, reflecting tbe spirit of the playgoer of that time, who wag used to seeing hoys take the female char acters. ι These "French women, or monster? rather," were "hissed, hooted and pip pin pelted from the stase." The flrsi move against this prejudice was not long delayed, however. Five years .later another French company came to London with women players, under royal patronage, and were received "with good approbation" at the Cock pit In Whitehall.—London Graphic. Roaring Wags. The Red Lion club was composed of great Englishmen, and Huxley was one of the members. The club used to meet during the session of the British association. To a certain meeting at Ipswich, England, which Huxley de scribed lu his "Letters," some foreign era were Invited, the I'rince of Cnnlno, Bonaparte's nephew, among thein, and greatly astonished they were at the exceedingly human behavior of the learned professors. The Ked Llou men had a custom of roaring instead of cheering and of wagging one coattail— the lion's tail—when applauding. The prince wag much Impressed by these proceedings, and when he stood up to respond to the toast of his health In stead of making a speech he gave three mighty roars and three wags. Brevity In Legislation, Old time Scotchmen realized that brevity is the goul of legislation. For Instance, King James I.'s parliament passed an act which said simply: "No man shall enter any place where there is hay with a candle 'unless it be in a lantern." This is probably the short est statute ever passed. In fact, one small volume is enough to hold more than two centuries of Scotch legisla tion. Diet For Elderly Persona. An English scientist In his book on "Diet In Helatlon to Age and Actlv tly" urges less meat, little or no milk and no highly concentrated foods for men and women past fifty. He pleads with wives not to urge elderly hus bands to eat more than their natural I appetites demand.

Roues, though generally adnilre<l an the most beautiful flower, are not uni versaily recognized as the profltable article of commerce that they really are. Trade roses are grow η in vari ons parts of Europe, but chiefly at Grasse, In France, and Kasanllk, in Bulgaria, where great stretches of rose gardens provide the chief supply of roses for the markets of the world. The highly cultivated roses are useless for commercial purposes, and both at Grasse and Kasanlik it is the cabbage rose that is chiefly grown—"the rose of a hundred petals," as they call It In southern France. The Grasse roses are used chiefly for pomades, soaps, rose water, and such commodities, and the demand made by the manufactur ers of such on the rose growers of Grasse can be partly gauged from the fact that more than 2,1500,000 pounds of roses are annnally gathered in the district Essence, or, as it Is called, attar of roses, is rarely tnade In France, on account of the expense of production, but nearly all the Bul garian roses are used for this purpose. History Mads by α Postage Stamp. A postage stamp which played a part in history Is told about by M. Buuau Varillu In bis book on the Panama canal. The Incident occurred when the discussion over the relative merits of the Panama and Nicaragua routes was at its height. Bunau-Varllla bad been working vigorously for the Pan ama route, making use of the two arguments of less cost and Immunity from active volcanoes. One day he recalled that Nicaragua bad Issued a handsome stamp, showing a volcano In full activity. He at once sent to the dealers in foreign stamps In Wash ington, and obtained ninety of these stamps, which he forwarded to the ninety senators, along with bits of paper bearing the words. "Postage stamp of the republic of Nicaragua; an officiai witness of the volcanic ac tivities of Nicaragua." The catastrophe at St. Pierre took place about this time, to deepen the impression of vol canic danger, and the Panama route was adopted by the narrow margin of four votes.—New V'ork Post A Sociologist.

Spotswood, Aug. 2:—After an ab·* sence of two Saturdays from the local field, the Spotswood A. C. will retura to its own stamping grounds this afternoon and endeavor to recover the old time winning form which made this team a contender for coun ty honors earlier in the season. The P. R. R. Y. M. C. Α., of South Amboy, will be the attraction this afternoon and should make the locals go some to win. The South Amboy nine re cently "hooked up" with Helmetta, but lost out in a well played game. That was their sole appearance in this vicinity this season. Next Saturday the big game with Helmetta will bo staged on the local field. It is expected that a banner crowd will be present, due to rivalry between the towns in baseball. Phil lips, a Spotswood boy. will pitch for Helmetta against his old team-mates, it is said. Manager Cornell Las hopes of winning this afternoon and next Saturday with h!a regular lineup, which consists of seven Spotswood fellows and two out-of-town men.
