The game should have been a shut
out, but Hoptown managed to push
one across the pan in the seventh, on
a pass, two errors, and a single.
Feldman and Schlemmer,a youngster
from Cannelton, starred at the bat
for Greensboro, each securing a two,
Dagger and a single.
The Grays scored one run in the
second. Buster was hit by pitched
ball, stole second, and went to third
when the catcher's throw went
through the second baseman. Chap.
pie popped a short. Allison lifted a
long fly to right, and Richardson
scored before the fielder could re-
turn the ball to the plate. Cox
knocked an easy short fly to Ander-
son.
Greensboro added one score in the
fifth. Schlemmer poled a hot one
down the third base line, was safe at
second when the catcher threw a
bad one to Anderson, stole third
while the pitcher was asleep, and
scored when Wesley made another
wild throw. The next three were
easy outs.
Three hits and a sacrifice counted
three more TALES in the sixth, and in

sacrifice and asingle added two more

Newark.
Small thanks is due these people that
our city is advancing so RAPIDLY; per-
haps without them We would be doing
even better Newark needs no curfew
law or se~lf-appointea boerG of moral
censors; any city whose people can
bring their town to the attainment OF
the position occupied by Newark can
be regarded as in small need of Puri-
tanical reform movements.
Every city is called upon to endure
d certain proportion Of people VINO
never work, people who think they are
working and people who work unneces-
sarilly. Newark has its share of each.
While the existence Of these various
classes can be tolerated our indulgence
should not be mistaken for an indorse-
ment of their principles.
1t should not he forgotten that the
people who arc responsible for this
city's prosperity are the people n

Of them live in narrow quarters anu
the sunshine of life only occasionally

Their pleasures are few and neccs-

are contented or that they have no
ambition; they are merely children OF
circumstances, who are forced to the
conclusion. howeve bitter it may be,
that what can't be cured must be
endured And Yet on the n day
