be a big surprise to Jack johnson

Instead of the old-time one, two
business, Jeffries says he has a one,
two, three, four, five series of blows
that even the shifty negro cannot
avoid, and he says that any one of the
blows will win the battle. He develop

CORONER'S JURY SENDS LETTER
TO BOROUGH COUNCILMEN

A coroner's jury in the case of William
Prescott, who was killed by train at
the Franklin avenue, Reading Railroad
crossing. last Wednesday returned a
verdict Tuesday evening. The jury held
the railroad company responsible. Wit
nesses of the accident agreed on the
story of the mans death as printed in
the newspapers. According to those who
had actually witnessed the smashup
prescott drove directly in front of the
train. but whether he had heard the
warning signal bell or not was a ques-
tion.
Michael Rattigan, the engineer of the
train which struck Prescott was cont
pletely exonerated by the Coroner, it be
ing proven that he had blown his whistle
both for the crossing and as a warning
to the man when he saw him on the
tracks but had no chance of stopping
the train. The absence of safety gates
at what is considered a dangerous cross
ing is held directly accountable, the YER
dict in full being as follows:
I'VE find that William Prescott
came to his death by being struck
by an Atlantic City Railroad train.
We believe that had there been safe
ty gates at the road crossing at
Franklin avenue the death of Will
lam J. Prescott could have been pre-
vented. We recommend that copy
of this verdict shall be sent to the
Town Council Of Pleasantville and
also to the Atlantic County Grand
jury at its next session."

A PLEA FOR THE BOYS
IN BASE BALL TOGS
They Do Not Deserve the Unfair Criti-
cisms-They Are Without
Props or Guides.

At recent meeting Of the base ball
team a change of officers took place. The
following were elected: J. L. Sooy, man
ager: Cliff Wilson, captain; Gerald Smith,
treasurer; Earl Saunders, secetary. This
change, together with schedule of good
games, has put new life into the team.
Every fellow is doing his very best~to
get what practice he can on the back
lots of the town. Any one who knows
base ball at all certainly knows that
team cannot get into shape for such
teams as Hammonton, Egg Harbor, Ocean
City and Mays Landing by practicing
on any old vacant lot or pile of refuse
Yet such is fact. The lads are whip
teams who are scheduled for the next
two weeks.
Now, if the boys lose a game, or all Of
them by close scores, as the case may be.
who is going to blame them? There are
! certain people who maintain that it is
pure accident when we win and, on the
other hand, there are others who say,
We'll. told you So" when we lose 1t
is doubtful if such people know base ball
or ever will Let it be understood that
a person who measures a team of any
Kind Of games won or games lost, when
a team is playing first in and then out
Of its class is no Judge of that team.
We may 90 against HammontoD and lose,
and according to the carpers our team
is no good. But suppose we play team
far inferior to MS and win by large
score, why, we are considered fit for the
worlds champions by the same token.
Every one should know where he
stands. Are you in this class or are you
with the boys in every game, giving
your heart felt support and wishing for
their victory?
Saturday the boys go to Hammonton.
What praise are they going to get for
good game if they don't win? If back
lot practice makes perfect we are going
to win Oftentimes this is not the rule.
Let's all wish for the big end of the
game and help the homeless base ball
team with few secret feelings of pride.
We all desire that game above all Ii
the boys fail now, let us hope they shall
land a game or two next Labor Day.

GEORGIA AVE. CLOSED
Railroad Company Has Placed a Sign That
Is the Result Of One Questionable
Piece Of Legislation

| There is no-trespassing sign at the
intersection of Georgia avenue and the
right of way of the West Jersey rail
road company that portends future
trouble. The sign indicates that the
railroad company considers itself in
| possession of private property and that
/, the people are law breakers if they at
tempt to drive or walk on the ground
Three years ago grade crossing at
Franklin avenue was deemed most eX-
| pedient by the borough administration.
After an extended correspondence be-
tween local authorities and the railroad
| company the crossing was established,
but this did not come to pass without
making great sacrifice, for the upshot
of the whole matter was that the borough
council and mayor agreed to waive all
rights to crossing at Georgia avenue.
Whether they did the proper thing is an
open and mooted question They were
confronted with dilemma and between
the choice of two undesirable alterna
tives they chose what then seemed to be
the best arrangement. The railroad COM
pany maintained strategic position.
The company We're and are trying to
of vital Importance to this borough-at
Franklin and Georgia avenues, and ii
was made evident that the company did
not expect to install two new grade cross
ings i'll this borough The company
made proposition that the borough
should waive its right to the Georgia
avenue crossing, provided that death
trap should be established at the inter
section of Franklin avenue. and this was
accepted by the mayor and counclmen
The milennial stage has not been reached,
therefore it is impossible for borough
authorities to please all of the people
all of the time AT the time this con
cession was made there was very little
unfavorable comment made, but as the
town wakes in population the people
are bound to see the value of the grant
to the railroad company and the neces-
sity of crossing at Georgia avenue.
The mayor has called councils atten-
tion to the mo -trespassing' sign, but
no action has as yet been taken. 1t is
never too late to find out if a sieve will
hold water and it is not in this case
too late to appeal to the Railroad Com
missison. If the MAYOR wants to use
his prerogative in order to gain the adj
miration of hundreds of citizens, he
should at once present this case before
the State Commission and not even wait
until the councilmen have begun mastica
tion of the morsel.
