ten-strike made by James A.
Houchin in his campaign for the
Democratic nomination for Gov
ernor. That he will, see that the
suggestion is carried out is known
to the resident of rural communi-
ties. AS farmer and stockman
the candidate has been known all
over Missouri for many years.
His interest in agriculture in gen.
eral and stock horses in particular
will remain while he is the Chief
Executive and the farmer feels
that Houchin is the man for the
place. That they expect to put
him in the Governors mansion is
shown by the close attention the
large crowds pay to his intellect-
ual speeches which are going to
mean the ultimate defeat Of all his
opponents. They are not capable
of meeting his claims because they
are not proficient in any business
save that of a professional nature
while Houchin is practical farm

Hon. Champ Clark.

WASHINGTON, d. c., July 9th.
1t is my earnest wish that my
friends in Missouri and elsewhere
shall give their loyal and enthusias-
tic support to the Democratic tick
ct nominated at Baltimore. II
have already pledged my person.
al support to Governor Wilson and
Marshall. l want my friends to
devote themselves from now until
election day to the success of the
Democratic Ticket, county, state,
Congressional and National. A
triumph of the progressive princi-
pies of Democracy for which we
have fought 80 long will result in
the highest good to our country
and will crown with success my
own labors in behalf of the party.
Four years ago under the leader
ship of Col. Bryan the party suf-
fered a crushing defoat. My COL
leagues in the House OF Repre-
sentatives called me to the leader
ship of the broken and discouraged
Democratic minority. We then
took upon ourselvas vow of har-
mony and the subordination of
personal interests to party princi-
Piles. With an united and ag-
gressive party we aroused public
opinion, exposed the iniquitius
Payne Aldrich Tariff Bill, over
threw Cannonism, and elected in
1910 a Democratic House of Rep
resentatives-the first national
victory in twenty years.
In the Sixty-seoond Congress
my colleagues further honored me
by elevation to the highest office
in the gift of the party, the Speak
ership of the House. am proud
of the record of that Congress and
of the part which have been able
| to contribute to it's work. Tt has
| written a brilliant page in Amer
ican political history and COM
manded the confidence of all good
citizens. 1t has reduced expendi-
lures, curbed Republican extrav-
agance, restored freedom of de-
bate in Congress, admitted Ari-
zona and New Mexico, revised the
tariff downward, provided for the
direct election of Senators, pro-
posed an income tax, compelled
the publication of campaign con-
tributions before elections, un-
shackled labor, removed the gag
from federal employees, extended
the principle Of an eight hour day
and rebuked Russia in vindication
of American citizenship.
1t is a glorious record OF pro-
gressive achievements before
which the empty words of dis
appointed demogogue fall mean
ingless to the ground. call up
on my friends everywhere to rally
to Governor Wilson and insure the
continuance OF this splendid pro-

Admirers of Frank Mccormick,
the former crimson and white speed

Mac finished third in the 900"

pitted against a field of brilliant

still Haywood won his race with
ease. So it appears that both boys
can hit the same pace and that is
why a match is desired.
If Haywood will enter the United
Scottish Clans meet at Celtic Park
Saturday the supremacy will proba-

There's another Apologize in this

of the mighty hurler of that mon
de plume in this city. The Gran
bury baseball nine boasts of the
possession of this slab artist, who IS
striking out from ten to twenty men.
Sunday the up-county Apple made
eighteen men drop the willow and

was so effective that he held a one

two base hit in the first inning which
brought in the only run of the game.

cation Selected as Good R%epresen-
tative Team for Perth Amboy.
''APPIE" AND YENk BATTERY

Yenk's closest rival, performs well

on the throws to the bases. And
one of the necessities for a teams
success is a catcher who a nail the
runners that try to p1lfer bases.
ment of the game that he has at
times thrown to catch a baseman ad-
vancing to second base while a run
ner was stationed on third base.
Thus Yenk's claim as the premier
backstop of the city looks good.
Billy Christopherson has, in the
last few seasons, been recognized as
the best shortstop in the town. His
batting was never of much account,
but his wonderful fielding has given
him a right to claim a berth on an
all star team. Fullerton, Of the
Franklins, is a good mar but he has
not proven his calibre in as many
seasons as Billy Peter Toolin,
the midway sacker Of the Saint An
thongs, seems to have a small field
to compete against. Eddy" Regan
has not been in senior circles long
enough to class with Pete The
other teams have no regular second
basemen.
Third base is a position which
Eyerkuss and tom" Smith may
both Justly claim. 1t appears that
while "Tom' Smith is not exactly
the equal of Eyerkuss in fielding, he
has begun to clout the pellet at a
speedy clip. The only way that the
fan who submitted the list OF all
star mel wants to settle the third
base question is to have both men
on the lineup and as Tom Is a
good slugger and also a utility man,
he can be used either as a pinch hit
ter or a utility player. Oscar wilson,
the speedy left fielder of the Mar
ions, Is given the choice for the fav-
orite position in the outer garden.
Charles Loeser, better known as
"Micky," would be given a berth IN
right field, not only because of his
good fielding, but also for his ability
to swing the willow. Peter Peterson.
the husky D. A. A. c. man, has been
considered the best man for center
field. pete" backs up the midway
station, fields fast, and is a slugger.
While there are many to pick from
for an outfeld, the choice made by
the fan referred to seems to be a
fair one because the out1elders are
sluggers. one quality required OF
good outer gardeners. They are also
speedy lelders and runners. So 1t
Is that the choice Of our obliging fan
seems to be about right and will
probably be endorsed by fandom
throughout the city.

Fish Tales.

Fishing in Morgan, Newark and
Sewaren waters is reported poor
these days, but Grabbing seems to be
the specially in these parts. The
reports from Acker's in Sewaren
seem to be the most prosperous,
showing catches of $50 II more. Mr..
Acker requests grabbing parties to
bring their W bait.
Eddie Bloodgood, the Morgan
guide, and Raymond O'Donnell, oil
Philadelphia, fished near the monu
ment in Raritan Bay Monday and
caught three bluefish and eight
weakfish. They seemed to be able to
locate the blueflsh, but could not
hold them around the boat.
Arthur Smith, Lester Pollock,
Percy Pollock and Fred Smith, of
Newark. went out from Willett'a
boathouse at Morgan Sunday and
rowed to the gill net stakes, a dis
lance of 800 yards and caught eight
fine weakfsh. Fred said they would
have caught twice that number if he
had q rod, but his visitors held on
to the three he had In stock and he
had to cut bait and put it on their
hooks, so that accounts for the poor
catch.
Grabbing parties are popular with
the residents of Morgan Heights
these days. One parry left the sum-
mer home of Mrs. Joseph Crawford
Tuesday and flshed from the e. B.
C. near the oyster boat stakes. In
the party were Mrs. John Tyler, Mrs.
William Lawrence, Mrs. Crawford,
Fred Kubach of 81 South Four
teenth street; Henry Tyler, of Ninth
avenue, Newark. and John Scully, of
South Amboy. They caught a bushel
of big blue-claw crabs In less than
two hours fishing.
While there is very little doing
in the fishing line at Morgan there
is no better Grabbing to be found
than can be had in Cheesequake
Greek. The crabs are big and fat
and the creek and bay close to the
~jetties are covered with them. The
fishing is perfectly safe, as the
creek is sheltered from the winds.
1t Is five miles long and, while a
stone can be thrown across it, there
is no better stream in the country.
Willett's boathouse is at the mouth
of the creek and he has rowboats to
hire. Try it and see the difference
in the taste between the Cheese
quake creek crabs and those of
Newark Bay.

WILL MORGAN
TURN TABLES?

FrankIins- August &.

Manager Happy" Apologize has
decided to give the Morgan balltoss-
ers another chance at his squad. A
game will be played between these
two mines August 4 on the Morgan
grounds. If the Franklins are de-
feated matters will be evened up in
the big book of baseball history be-
tween these two aggregations. But
the Morgan crew will have to do
some tall hustling to get away with
the game if Apple" the right hand
singer of the locals, is in his usual
state of mind.
There was a large crowd of local
fans who accompanied the Franks
on their trip to Morgan when the
last battle was waged and none
were disappointed as there two star
aggregations coupled up into a fray
lively enough for any fan. Maxwell
will probably be pitted against
Apologize.
