A meeting may be held tonight by the players to act In regard to this matter. · A Candy Kid, So to Speak. In the station at St. Margaret Styria (on the frontier between Germany and Austria), au elegantly dressed couple passed through the customs office, the man carrying a child In swaddling clothes, a very elaborate outfit. Only when the pair had taken the train for Bregenz did any doubts as to the gen uineness of the child come into the customs official's mind. He immedi ately instituted search and discovered that the infant was a carefully con cealed receptable containing a large quantity of saccharin.

BALK AT OFFER OF TIGER TEAM FOR BIG GAMES Woodbridge Field Club Management Wants to Play on Basis of Winner Take All Instead of Sixty Percent to Winner and Forty to Loser-Think Walsh's Terms Fair Leaders of the Woodbridge Field Club baseball team in a communica tion to the Sporting Editor accept the challenge Issued to them for a series of games with tho Tiger team, of Woodbridge. But the Field Club management balks at the terms offer ed by Manager Walsh, of the Tigers. In a letter which was published in the columns Saturday, Walsh offers to play any time at all on a basis of 60 per cent to the winner and 40 per cent to the loser. The Woodbridge F. C. crowd want to play on basis of winner take all. Followers <Jf the Tigers believe that Walsh's offer is unquestionably [ a fair one. It has been reported | that Manager Walsh, at a great ex- j pense, has placed the Recreation j Park diamond in good condition and j that he has also built a dressing room j in the park. Baseball in Woodbridge according to Walsh, has been a fail ure financially. He starts that the money spent i» making the grounds and accommodations suitable for good baseball has not yet been re turned to the Tigers by the fans. He adds that by offering the use of the diamond for the games of the series and by offering 60 per cent to the Field Club if they win and 4 0 per cent if they lose, he is doing as much as ought to be expected. Walsh call ed the Sporting Editor on the tele phone this a. m. and stated that he had been Informed by the Field Club management that they would not ac cept his terms. The leader ot the Tigers opined that Belafsky ought to reconsider his action as he felt cer tain that he was offering reasonable terms. Following is the communication from the management of the Wood bridge Field Club: Sporting Editor NEWS: A very amusing article apçeared in your paper, Saturday over the sig nature of Joe Walsh, manager of the Woodbrldge Tigers, referring to a series of games between thu Tigers and Woodbridge F. C. "on a renum erative basis of GO per cent to the winner and 40 per cent to the loser." Joe takes exception to the state ment that the Feld Club is the better nine and still insists that the receipts be divided as stated above rather than play on a "winner take all" basis. If the Tigers mean business and want to arrange a series of baseball games (not newspaper articles) inn a sportsmanlike manner, we will play them "winner to take all." Joe seems to emphasize the fact that hts sole purpose is to satisfy the "wishes and desires of the local fans" Then why not make the series as in teresting as possible for all concern ed? We can not think of any better way titan by playing "winner take all." With full consideration of the at titude of the fans. Yours in sport, Ο. Ε. BELAFSKY, Manager. J. II. CONCANNON, Secretary. φ IN THE FACTORIES I„ They say that Herman Jeroski, of the Lead Works, la the equal of any of the mound artists performing in the league. Jeroski has been the strongest factor in the makeup of O'Mara's favorites. While the Lead Works does not command first place In the race, the fault can not bo traced to Jeroski. In every game, with possibly one or two exceptions, he has outpitched the twirler of the opposing team. In the last fray with the Barber Asphalt, the lead ers, Jeroski struck out sixteen men. However, his team did not hold him up as they should have and a bad decision by the umpire turned vic tory's tide away from the Lead handlers. Eddie O'Hara, the short stop of the Lead Works, is gaining consider able recognition because of his work in the factory league series. Eddie, who, by the way, is a brother of the St. Anthony manager, is a very young player, being a "future great." His admirers think that another year of experience will find Ed with some of the fast company in these dig gings. Members of the Chesebrough team attribute several of their losses to the fact that Tommy Smith disap pointed them by not playing after he had promised to perform in their ranks. When the league started, Tommy, it is understood, volunteered to play with the vaseline crowd. But Smith only worked once or twice with the Brain pets. The Chese brough players do not want Smith back in their ranks because of the "deal" he handed them. It is said. Jimmy Carroll has been elected cap tain in place of the Franklin war rior, who at first had that honor. Pitcher Henry Dickson has been showing flashy form in the rank and file of the Chesebrough nine. An example of Dickson's great work in the series was given last Saturday, when the Chesebrough o-pposed the Lead Works. Dickson, besides twirl ing in strong style, was the star batter of the day. He poled out two homers and one triple. But there was no one else in his team's line up that could do as well, and the Lead Works defeated him, 5 to 4. - The Churoh Dog Whipper. In the little village of Quadring, In Lincolnshire, England, some interest lug customs are still in existence. One Is the employment of a dog whipper at the church. It was customary at one time in most villages to have a dog whipper, whose duty It was to drive away the dogs that yelped around or tried to enter the church. The Quad ring sextou still receives a salary of 10 shillings η year in respect of this Important function. It is also the cus tom to present the oldest widow in the village with a brand new gown every other year. Some kind hearted old soul left a sum of money for this pur pose. A very modest investment in class ified advertising will keep any cap able private teacher busy. See page eight. Morris Was Explosive. On one occasion when William Mor ris was painting un Italiau model, in Red Lion street, London, some one called at the door. Morris left his painting, and presently his model heard him furiously anathematising. When he returned he was lu a tremendous rage, rushing about the room like a madman. In a moment he took a flying kick at the door and smashed in a panel. The model, in fright, started to flee, but Morris turned toward him, the rage suddenly evaporating, and said genially: "It's all right—it's all right! Something had to give way!" The painting was then resumed.— "William Morris—A Study In Person ality." eituatlon Sized Up. The young girl had been engaged as an amanuensis by a society woman.

Subscribe for the jSTRWH SHERIDANS TO OPPOSE TIGERS IN WOODBRIOGE Walsh to Treat Woodbridge Fans to Some Fine Attrac tions Hereafter. FOR SECTIONAL RIVALRY In an effort to finish up the season with the best possible attractions. Manager Joseph Walsh, of the Wood bridge Tigers, has begun to book games with all strong teams in" this vicinity bo that not only good games are assured but intersectional rival ry and interest will bo aroused. Next Sunday the Tigers will oppose the South Amboy Sheridans on the Re creation Park diamond ill Wood bridge. This game should draw ene of the largest crowds of the season. South Amboy is expected to send over a large delegation while the fans In Woodbridge are expected to turn out in great numbers. Since the great showing made by the Sheridans against the South Amboy Athletics several weeks ago, Delan ey and his squad have been rated as one of the strong nines of the county. The Tigers, by their per formance against the St. Anthonys, of Perth Amboy, have also won a good berth In the esteem of fandom. Therefore, a clash between these seemingly evenly matched aggrega tions should result in a fine exhi bition. It is the Intention of Manager Walsh to book the rest of the dates of the season with such crews as the St. Anthonys and Franklins, of Perth Amboy, the South Amboy Athletics, and other nines of similar calibre. If Walsh succeeds in book ing according to his intentions, his efforts will no doubt be rewarded by the fans.

KIN SULLA MAY PITCH AGAINST FRANKLIN NINE St. Anthony Management Trying to Procure Services Of Lanky Staten island Twirler for Battle on Copper Works Diamond Sunday-Was With Locals Early in Season Is in Great Form Now When the third battle of the seriea for the city championship is staged Sunday afternoon on the copper works diamond, a pleasant surprise may be sprung on the thousand or more fans who will gather to witness I the warfare. This surprise Is expect ed to be none other than the lanky ι .Tack Kinsulla in Saint Anthony togs. Kinsulla was on the mound for the j "Saints" last year and during the j early part of the present seaBon.j Through a disagreement he left the j ranks of the locals and since that time has been doing mound duty 1'or tho Stapleton crowd. It is understood that the St. An thony leaders are anxious to procure I Jack to rejoin the ranks of the locals. 1 The "Saint" players have much con fidence in Kinsulla and always play good ball behind him. in the St. An thony camps, it is the general opin ion that with Kinsulla in the box, the State street crowd will annex the honors in Sunday's battle against the Franklins. This game is one of vit al Importance to the O'Hara aggrega tion. The city champions have two games to their credit In the seriea while the "Saints" have none. The third tussle, Sunday, as a victory for the Franklins, would cut a deep gasli lu the reputation or the St. Anthony team. It seems that the State street war riors have played their poorest against the Franklins. In some games this season, they have shown brilliant form. But the jink was on hand both times when they lined up against the city champions. It is be lieved that the "Saints" are due to make themselves heard and Sunday is the time to do it if they expect to do it at all. Jack Kinsulla twirled four innings against the Franklins this season. In that time he held them hitless and scoreless. There will be much more interest connected with the tussl Sunday if Uie lanky Island er does the heaving for the State street pets as he has been the main stay of the O'Hara team In the box for the last two seasons. Pudney Stinson and Pete Tooliu, who were on the hospital list two weeks ago, are ready for warfare, having recuperated in prompt order. The Franklins as well as the "Saints" will present their regular line-up». STUNTS PULLED AT SPOTSWOOD Attribute Loss to Many Err ors-Fine Pitching On Saturday afternoon Delaney, of Spotswood, allowed only three hits and fanned fourteen men. Aus tin Hornsby dropped a third strike and allowed the batter to reach first In safety, which was one of the nine errors. This man eventually Scored. Neither side scored an earned run, but the Spotswood lads were chief offenders in the ileld. Errors which did not appear in the box score, helped to fatten Helmetta's score. * * * Phillips, the Spotswood boy who pitched for Helmetta fanned the iirst eight men to face him. R. Ap pleby, who batted ninth on the or der broke the spell with a clean sin gle to right center. He stole sec ond, but was left when G. Appleby fanned. Phillips weakened in the las| three innings, while Delaney continued to pitch out the Helmetta batters almost at will. His support gave him trouble continually, how ever. * * * Hornsby, of Perth Amboy, the Spotswood catcher, pulled something new in the seventh, when he stole second. D. Delaney, who is a broth er of the Spotswood pitcher, hnd the ball awaiting Hornsby's arrival, but the latter tricked the Helmetta's sec ond baseman by vaulting the player. Delaney evidently expected Hornsby to "get down," but the catcher show ed his jumping prowess and landed safely on the bag. NEW YORK STATE LEAGUE.

"I have believed In magnetism from that day.'1 Balzac continued, "and have myself become a powerful mag netizer. Such is my force that few people can resist me. Almost every one who enters my house becomes hypno tized. and I can make them reveal their most secret thoughts." Balzac boasted that he could even hypnotize at a dis tance. Factory Longue. W. L.

IROQUOIS JUNIORS IN PRELIMINARY BATTLE As a preliminary affair to the St. Anthony-Franklin battle, the Iro quois Jre. will battle the Hartford F. , C. nine on the copper works dia mond Sunday afternoon for a side bet of five "seeds." Karly in the season, the wee Hedskins dropped five "plunks" to the Acme Juniors and1 they expect to get tlieir coin to u> Γ. nn this occasion. The Injuns trimmed" the Hartfords once this season. Discipline. The rigor of discipline seems unde sirable to many in the present genera tion. They are unaware that obedi ence is strengthening and peace giv ing. A military regime, with ite iron clad discipline, do^s not break spirit It makes men ready for forced march es and to meet death. If discipline hurt the human spirit, then soldiers would never win battles. Battles would be won by mobs. Discipline does nol diminish life. It enhances life, and so confers a senee of peace.—Collier's Weekly. The Place That Pleases Everybody The First and Only Rathskeller in Perth Amboy, N. J.
