Those who love sport for sports
SAX particularly amateur sport
must revile at the handout OF the
Leeds Point team last Saturday to
the local boys. Prior to this game
o1easautville has had no reason to
complain OF anything. but have re
ceived courteous, manly and sports
manlike treatment from their oppo-
nents. Leeds Point baseball players
are cf the material that fails to
recognize the usages Of clean sport
They prefer to disregard the golden
rule of society and OF mankind; they
have stopped to the level OF trying
to win q game at any cost.
1t can be safely said that base ball
connections bet ween Leeds Point and
Pleasantvjlie are at an end Besides
refusing to pay their guarantee they
furnished such an umpire as TO dis
courage any good team Of base ball
players. An umpire who roasts Wis
itors in every inning main roast
being to allow man to go to first
base on foul-should not be toler-
ated The above incident happened
In the eighth inning at Leeds Point
on Saturday.
P'ville had tied a big lead made by
the L. P.'s and were playing A l ball
After the second inning Wallace
struck out two sor@tb7ee men each
inning. In the eighth Wallace, al
though knowing his team was play
ing better ball, decided to show he
would not stand for such treatment
and called to the boys to stop the
game. This they were glad to do. AZ
they were tired oi being called cot on
four balls, The score st the eighth
was SO. Wal. Adams had fifteen
stYike-outs to his credit. Ryop, VII
son and Sanders were very handy
with the stick.
Don't forget the game Saturday.
June 29th, with Trinity, of Merchant
vile Howard North. son OF our
Mayor, plays with this team.
July 4th Tuckerton WIN be on hand
for two games.

ONE WHO IS WISE

EDITOR THE PRESS Your editorial
ln last weeks paper deserves recog-
nition In spite of the fact that you
delivered roast to the young men
who tore Frank Risley's home inside
out. / was present at the fire, and
am the man who tossed Miss Ethel
Risley's new spring headgear to the
ground from an upper window. !
vas excited and 80 were others, in
cluding the firemen. You may know
the extent of my excitement when
tell you how carefully carried Archie
Risley's dress shirt down stairs, care
fully laying 1t on top of heap of
articles. / don't mind your roast
half as bad as do your omission to
give credit to the helpers at the fire
and to the onloOkers for the fact
nothing was stolen. I think that
this Is news that should be spread
broadcast. 1t shows how honest we
Jerseymen really are, Ia spite OF the
prejudice existing against us. Per-
haps you are a little bit ruffled be-
cause have jumped on you at times
II you are, forget 1t.
Members of the fire company arr
thin skinned. They think you throw
hot shot into them, and the way
they are roasting you Is worth your
knowing. Your writing at one tirne
made me mad, bnt [ soon got used to
your style and now l am with you
and wish you success, es you are
surely trying to do the town good
But the firemen-they are too thin
skinned. They don't want to under
stand that yon are working in q
quiet way to bnild up their company
They will not listen to your real
friends who see that you want the
town to give more support to the
company. Many Of us see the object
pf your expressions, and we pity the
nan who cannot stand friendly and
just criticism.
Let me congratulate you. Your
critics would like to see you apollo
gize. Don't do It; you have not so
lar, and don't do it. Yours truly.

ATTEND COUNCIL

It Is important that every friend OF
the cause uf good pavements for this
Borough be present at Monday even
ing's session of Council. at which
time the ordinance relating thereto
comes up for third and final reading.
These persons should not only be
present, they should do more-they
should be there to support the move
ment by voicing their opinions on
the floor of the room. The time Is
ripe for striking the iron and no one
should remain away from the session
with the idea In his head that the
question will be handled properly
without his presence. The cause of
good pavements has it's supporters

citizenship, and 1t is to each and

appeal is objected. DON'T FORGET

No MORE TICKETS ON CARS

painted and otherwise disgrseeful
looking West Jersey Railroad sta
on. The announcement is In linz
with the new order of events which
has abolished the sale OF tickets to
passengers on the cars by the con
lluctors.
The fact that tickets are no longer
sold on the cars makes little differ
ance to travellers, but the incouveni-
snce OF walking out Of the way to
purchase the cent trip savers
arouses rebellfous feelings In many
hearts. Inquiries at the West Jersey
station are not enlightening In the
least regarding the duration of the
practice. Unless the riders purchase
tickets at the stations they must pay
straight fares aboard cars.

HAVE YOU SEEN /?

"Where did you get that tie?" is
the song of the acquaintance of the
erstvhile modestly dressed real estate
assessor, who is better known as
"Japh.'' The latter smiles as he
proudly wears a bright red necktie.
The story OF the tie follows:
The tie is the fruit OF bet and was
won by Japhet from a lady. Earl!
In March Mrs. Price wanted to have
her sweet peas planted. Japhet re
fused to plant, saying there " ould be
more snow. Womanlike, Mrs. Price
bet a tie sgainst box OF candy for
every snow We might have until the
first day of June. When Mrs. Price
had the sixth tie TO buy she becam
desperate and purchased a bright red
one. Japhet wears it and we hev.
not had snow since-not even cool
