On Account of Numerous Injuries to
Men on His Team Manager Herr
Wants an Increase.
Eddie Herr of the Salt Lake Bees Is
one manager who absolutely does not
believe in the 16-player limit. Eddie
has had several cripples on his team
during the past few weeks, and has
been haudicapped in that respect so
badly that he Is overanxious to see an
increase in the player limit. At the
present time the Bees are in a rather
crippled condition, and Eddie claims
that, with the great attendance going
on, there must be real playing as a
return to the fans for their generosity
in turning out to the games. Eddie
says that the league Is drawing big
enough crowds to lift the ban.

FOOT PLUNGE
Newark Auto Plunges into
Ravine—Is Only Slightly
Damaged
By Special Correspondent.
JAMESBURG,' July 5:—In an at
tempt to allow a horse-drawn vehicle
to pass him, Antonio Baunerba, aged
twenty-four, of 370 Chestnut street.,
Newark, lost control of a large auto
truck on Thursday afternoon while
coming to this place with a load of
machinery, and the truck, with Bau
nerba and contents, plunged through
a flimsy guard-rail to a ravine twenty
feet below with but slight injury to
himself or the machine. With great
presence of mind Baunerba clamber
ed to the top of the embankment and
afjer making known his plight suffer
ed a nervous attack and for a time
it was thought by passerby that he
was fatally injured. Ur. J. C. Shinn
was notified by Christopher Quinn, of
this place, who happened along at
this time and after an examination
decided to send the man to the Mid
dlesex General Hospital, New Bruns
wick, where he is a patient.
Inquiry at the hospital today was
rewarded with the information that
Baunerba was suffering from shock
and many bad bruises and that he j
would probably be sent home Sun
day.
On'the machine at the time of the
accident was a load of heavy ma
chinery consigned to the Jamesburg
Slipper Company, who were moving
their plant from Newark and this
consignment was badly damaged in
j the plunge. At this point the road
way is very sandy and runs close to
the dilapidated guard-railing and
1 only several months ago County
Physician John L. Suydam was
; thrown down the opposite side of the
roadway many feet and with but
1 slight injury.
I A wrecking crew from Newark
1 came here yesterday and soon ha 1
the auto and the machinery on the
roadway and the trip was resumed.
Baunerba, who has just been dis
charged from the English army aftpr
four years of active service, was veiy
pessimistic about remaining in clvi
; lian employment as
through all the heavy camp. * s in
France and never received a scratch
and said this was his first position
since his discharge from the service.

Wove Likely to Make Publlio
Service Pave Between
Tracks
hj Special Correspondent.
NEW BRUNSWICK, July 5.— Leg
kl action may be required to compel'
he Tublic Service street railway com
Jany to pave between and at each
lide of their tracks on Amboy ave
tue, Metuchen, in a manner satis
'actory to th county board of free
roklers and the council of the bor
>ugh of Metuchen.
Plans were approved by the free
holders last week, for the paving of
kmboy avenue. The improvement is
to be made under a joint contract, the
county to pay for the paving of the
center of the road with Warrenite, the
borough to pay for paving from thei
edge of the Warrenite to the curb line
with bituminous macadam and the
trolley company to pave in a way
satisfactory to both municipalities.
The formal approval of the plane
has not yet been made by the borough
but will be at the next council meet
ing, which is to be held next Monday
night, according to Frederick M. P.
Pierce the borough attorney.
Mr, Pierce with a delegation from
Metuchen met with the Freeholders
Thursday and assured the board of
their Intentions to approve the plans
for the much needed improvement
and expressed their willingness to en
ter into a contract to have the work
done.
Wither ronfrotp nr otnne mrha urA
to be laid at the expense of the bor
ough along both sides of Amboy
avenue from the Lehigh Valley rail
road to the easterly borough line.
Representatives from the Public
Service company also were present
and informed the freeholdrs that the
company was financially unable to.
lay a permanent surface between and
at either side of their tracks at this
time. While the two feet at each;
side of the tracks might be paved
the center would have to be unpaved
for a year or so at least, according
to Mr. Stevenson.
the Public Service legal department.
Superintendent of maintainance of
way Wight., estimated that it would
cost company 338,500 to pave with
Belgian block and lay the new railst
that would be required.
While the Public Service company
apparently wants to "get away” with
a cheap and unsatisfactory repair job,
It is very unlikely that it will be per
mitted.
The franchise given the company
by the borough about twenty years
ago provides that in; the event of any
road repairs or r/placements by the
municipality, the same type shall also
