APPLICABLE TO
JOIN SAINTS"
May Pitch Saturday Against
Fast Linden Crew.

Once more and again that big and
most important question of will
Applegate twirl for the St. An
%thonys?" jumps to the attention of
the baseball bugs" In all likeli-
hood Harry will twirl for the Saints
Saturday afternoon against the Lin
den nine. The locals are very eager
to annex this battle as it not only
means great glory but also big
spoils. Thirty iron men is the prize
the bunch managed by marty"
O'Hara will get if they romp home
the v~ictors. And they would not use
K1nsulla If they got fifty bones, be-
cause they want to make Sundays
game sure. That Stapleton battle Is
a tussle they can to get as much
depends on it.
If Apologize twirls Saturday for
the Saints 1t Is a cinch the locals
will bring home the bacon. But If
any one else twirls for the State
street boys it will not be cas- by any
means. The Linden bunch walloped
the D. A. A. G.. one time this year,
and the st. Anthonys remember this.
If Applegate will consent to do the
heaving a mighty baseball squad will
travel out of this city on the 2:30
p. m. p. R. r. train for Railway,
where changes will be made for
Linden.

Vessel Wins on Track.

'sh' ch Ah.n
John Vesci, the little athlete who
second place in one of the heats
of the 300" at Woodbridge Satur-
day, was the star performer in the
games held in the afternoon. The
Keasbey lad took best honors in the
100 yard dash as well as the "220."
The first race was done in eleven
seconds while no official time was
given for the "220" because the dis
stance was not the full length. w.
Smith was Vesci's only rival, taking
second place in both events. The
Keasbey representative won the mile
relay. Vesci was also a member of
this team. Harry Nelson took first
place in the standing and running
won by a leap of ten feet while the
last named he won with a leap of
nineteen feet six Inches.
There was a large field of Compel
itors In the dashes but the expert
enced form of Vesci easily foated
away from the bunch and it was no
surprise to see him in the lead.
"Smithy" put up game races but the
best he could do was to come sec
ond best to the Keasbey boy. In the
broad jump, Nelson had his own
way.
Several events were called off due
to lack of interest, The 440 yards
dash wos not held because of the
great number OF other track events
for the boys. The girls baked on
giving an exhibition on the track.
The fifty yards dash, potato race,
and ~tug-of-war, which were looked
forward to as the best and most in
teresting, were not held by the girls.

Speaking of delightful automobile
trips, the New York Evening Mail
gives the following, of special inter-
est to everyone in this vicinity:
There is, perhaps, no more his
toric section in this country than
that part Of the state of New Jersey
lying between this city and Philadel-
phia. Many of the bitterest fights Of
the revolutionary war were fought
here, including the victorious one
which ended that great struggle. 1t
is not strange then that the central
section of New Jersey was made
famous by both historic and fiction
Writers.
1.-The roads through this section.
owe which the barefooted troops of
Washington dragged their cannon by
night, are now among the finest
macadam highways in the world,
This, coupled with its historic inter
est, makes central New Jersey an
ideal touring ground for the week
end trip, and the tour which we out
line this week has been arranged by
the touring bureau Of the Automo-
bile Club Of America.
The route runs via the municipal
ferry to Staten Island and through
ST. George, along the eastern drive
to T~ottenville. Here another ferry
is taken to Perth Amboy, thence
~facross to lowlands, over a very long
bridge, to South Amboy, and instead
of following the conventional line
through the Jersey seashore resort.
it turns 10 the right and goes to Old
Bridge, over good roads and through
a very pretty country.

Macan Boys Stirring Up Interest
Among the Football Warriors Along
South Shore--Od Time Players.
ARE AFTER DExTER'S TITLE

Bobby" and "Da" Macan are of the
best In these parts and so 1t looks
like a strong eleven for the River
sides.
But what about the DeGters?
The Dexters will still live. But
the "RiVies'' will try to wrench the
county championship title from
them. 1t appears that no other team
in the county can make things inter
esting enough for the locals and 30
the e squad Of gridiron men will
try to turn the trick. There's no
doubt but that a lineup Of such men
as ANDY" Schantz, "Bill" Hornsby,
Harry and Bobby" Macan, Luke"
Oliver, Johnny" McCreery, and the
like, will be able to make things
warm for the champions.
No marked changes will be e
in the lineup Of the Dexter eleven
this year. Bunk" Allen, the River
side basketball player, will probably
oppose the "R1vies' in football.
Bunk" plays quarter back for the
county Champs" John Anderson,
Byrne Toolan, Sophus Greisen and
rest Of the crew will be on the Job
again. The DexteTs highly
pleased because they now know they
will have some interest and rivalry
If the Rlversides begin work. John
Toolan will manage the Dexters for
the coming season. Some of the
members say hal Thomas Hanson,
last years coach, will again be on
the Job. But there are others who
say otherwise. Hanson has been
away for months and the question
of whether he will return or not In
time for football cannot be an
swered at yet. His appearance will
mean much to the DeXters.

Another football squad will prob
ably be seen on the gridiron when
the season for this sport rolls
around. The boys from along the
shore, who were the old time Riv-
ersides are arousing interest among
their bunch and it Is probable that
the new eleven will play for Perth
Amboy under the name of the "Riv-
ersides." Harry Macan, better
known as "Da," Is behind the move
ment and he will try to get together

Fish Tales.

Walter T. Smith, of Elizabeth, re-
turned to that city Monday morning
with as fine a mess of weakfish as
ever came out of the water. He
fshed Friday and Saturday in Bar
negat Bay, near the inlet, and was
one of the fortunate ones to get his
hooks into the big tide-runners that
were feeding there last week.
One who Is very interested in fish,
ing has attempted to find out why
fishing is 80 poor on this side OF
Sandy Hook, and after studying the
food question, giving much time to
considering the small live bait that
is in the water and dissecting weak
fish and bluehsh, he has gone back
to his old thoughts, and that Is pol
'luting. Say what we will, there is
no getting past the fact that millions
of gallons of polluted water, from
coal oil and tar to copperas, are
being emptied in the Staten Island
Sound and the Arthur Kill every
day. 1t can be seen from the trains,
Is well as from the water, and If it
Is allowed to continue there won't be
a fish in the bay. Hundreds of
bushels of fish are caught every day
in the nets, but they won't take a
piece of bait. Make a cast with a
light lead and in a few minutes the
fish can be felt as they shove the
bait about. They seem to want 1t,
but it is contaminated and they cam
not get it down. There are many
ways of stopping this pollution with
out injurying any industry, and il the
owners of them insist on making a
sewer of the river, then 1T is time
some action be taken. In order to
start something, the writer Is willing
to join with other fishermen and by
a small contribution engage a COM
petent lawyer and through him OBJ
tain an injunction restraining the
plant owners from continuing the
'~pollusion of Staten Island Sound and
the Arthur Kill. There is>a State
law that prevents the pollution of
waters that cover beds on which
oysters are planted under lease from
the State, and there is at least a
half million dollars of oysters plant
ed in the bay, into which the pollut-
ed water mepties. 1t appears that
action a be taken under this law
Immediately.

time on himself close enough TO know
that he can cut materially under the

seconds. Whttlers friends say It would
not surprise them II Whittier should cut
the time for his mile TO an even forty

that the track at Wandamere was never
faster than at present. The black streak
