LONG SWIM IS !
MADE BY BOOB
Out to Lighthouse and Return
--Good Time.

Louis Booz swan from BayardSs-
Beach yesterday morning to the
lighthouse and back before many
eager spectators who watched him
throughout his course. "Pox" In
vited Joe Honan, better known here
abouts as the Fighting Waiter, to
accompany him on the swim. Honan,
who was once employed as a life
saver, would gladly have accepted
the bid, he states, but he had no
time and so Booz made the trip him
self.
"Pox" loves the water and the
sports it affords. July A he travelled
to Keansburg Heights, where he ex-
pected to compete in a five mile mar
athon modified rae but was disap-
pointed as the vents were run on
before he arrived. Yesterday was
his first long swim of the year and
he showed class In his marathon
to the lighthouse and return, which
Is q distance OF about three miles.
Booz left for Vineland after bidding
all farewell here yesterday and the
boys who dwell along the river. front

fore "PoX' returns. However, IL
there will be any swimming races
you can count on his appearance.

WHY NOT FIELD
MEET BY SOME
CLUB OFAMBOY

With Tottenville and Woodbridge
having field and track meets each
year, it has finally dawned upon
many athletes in this burg that Perth
Amboy's many clubs ought to have
one of these events. This town has
very many active athletic clubs and
also has as many track men, in fact
more, than any of the neighboring
towns, but still something is lacking
when a field and track meet is pro-
posed. Several members Of alumni
high school track men were speaking
seriously of trying to further plans
for a field day but they concluded
that the only way to do so vas to
interest some of the clubs in this
city.
1t now appears that the D. A. A.
G. would be the organization most fit
to have such events as they have
many athletes who are interested in

track and field. They also are not
so actively engaged in other outdoor
sports. The Young Mems Hebrew
Association would also be a club
which has good chances of holding a
successful field meet. This club
could easily influence man. of its
branches to compete as we'll as the
local sports. The support for events
of this kind would not be lacking,
there is no doubt about that. So
why not show that we are not asleep?
While at present there are no
fields which you can call real good
plots for a track and field meet, still
there are many which can be made
suitable to the occasion If the ath-
letes would only start something. It
Is a certainty that If the boys will
do nothing in this line this year
there will be plenty of doings along
this branch next season.

BASEBALL TENNIS
PUOILISM ATHLETICS
PURITANS MAY
BREAK RANKS.
Practice Has Not Been Call
ed--Reasons Rumorsd.

According to information gathered
from n of the Puritan baseball
players that popular nine will dis
band for the rest of the season. No
official announcement has been made
of the breaking up Of the aggrega-
ton but it was stated that Manager
Vincent Reidy has not called practice
for his men in many moons which
practically means that the team will
cease being active.
The reason for this action Is prob
ably that the players who have been
asked to play with the Puritans have
asked for money for their services.
This money cannot be forthcoming
as the guarantees offered do not al
low for any such payment. So 1t is
that players who deem themselves
worthy Of coin for playing have put
an end to a team which was begin
ming to come strong.

thoughts in the Joy of the games,

 In view of this, his agreement to speak here is given much significance as smany believe it marks a direct change in his plans. Recently. he has declined all invitations to make pub lie speeches, including more than score for today at Lincoln birthday

MEDICAL EXAMINER LOOKS INTO DEATH
 OF MRS. POWERS
Expires Suddenly This Morning From Unknown Cause-Might Have Been Poison Case.

Medical Examiner S. M Garlick has been called to examine into the strange death of Mrs. Julia Powers, a woman who expired suddenly about 8 o'clock this morning at her home at S39 Broad street At press hour today pr. Garlick had not yet signed the death certificate but was looking into the circumstances of the case.
 But little is known of the history of the woman's illness. and it might have been due to poison, although the authorities have no direct evidence to that effect.
 When physician was first called Mrs. Powers was apparently very sick and was pulSeleSS. Shortly afterward she died. Owing to the unknown na- ture of her illness the case was at once reported to the medical examiner and an autopsy may be performed later.
 Mrs. Powers remains were remov- ed t1 the undertaking parlors of Rourke x Rourke. She is survived by her husband and a three year old child. The family are in somewhat destitute circumstances and are new corners in town.
