Congratulate Dick Manchester.

We should say congratulate Nj
Richard Clayton Manchester fo.'.
yesterday Dick" came into his
own, and he is now "free,
white and twenty-one' Today he is
his own boss and can walk up to the
polls and go the suffragettes one bet
ter by casting his vote all the way
from county coroner to president.
But in spite of the new dignity that
clusters around the boy we are going
to continue to call him just plain oil
everyday Dick. This syoungster be-
gan playing baseball as kid at the
High school in DAYTON, Ohio, his
home town. He played for a year on
the Miami Commercial school nine,
and then entered the semi-pro. ranks
in his home town. One season with
the championship team of the city
league he rolled up a neat batting av-
erage of .666 and as a result was sign
ed up by Ludington, Michigan, of the
Michigan State league as catcher.
Dick continued to sting the ball with
the Michigan bunch and the sporting
guide credits him with a batting az,
erage of 271,
Alban., of the South Atlantic, heard
of the Ohio kid and signed him UP
sinericus was lucky to get the PAL
artist for the season from them, even
though the lads down the road kept
strong string tied to the youngster.
Dick is sure to be in faster company
next year.
With the locals he has managed to
ring up an average of 2S2 with the
willow and his work behind the plate
has been spectacular. His chief as
set is a whip that gets the best base
runners in the league. The man that
steals on Manchester has to get :,
good lead on the pitcher to do it.
Tipping the scales at 100 lbs. AMI
standing SIT. s IL inches in his
stockings Manchester possesses 4
splendid physique. His work with
Americas has attracted attention all
over the circuit, and he is now in
the lead for the silver loving cup of
fered by the Georgian for the most
popular player in the league. 1t q
up to the Americas sfans to get busy
and clip coupons for the boy as there
are but more days in which to vote
Manchester has one weak point The
ladies. He manages to attract the at
tention of the fair sex in many ways.
1t is a common occurrence to hear
some grandstand goddess exclaim:
isn't Dick the cutest thing or words
tc. that effect. But with 1t all I'll
doesn't turn the lads head. His fame
has even reached other league. The
people of Albany are sending in votes
for him right along. =

The following from the Saturda7
Evening Post is one of the best ever
At the beginning of the season Con-
ME Mack, manager of the Philadelphia
Athletics, got letter from an ambi.
tious youth in small town in Texas,
who modestly stated that he was the
best ball player in his native STATE,
and that he desired to join Mack g
team without loss of time.
Mack wrote him polite note, ask
ing what position the youth played--a
small detail the young man failed to
mention in his letter.
In week or so there came back an
answer from the Texan, inclosing a
photograph showing him in uniform,
crouched just back of second base,
with his hands upon his knees, and a
set, determined expression upon his
face There was note also. 1t read
as follows:

BOYS Who LIKED
' CAKE ARE JAILED
No Mercy for Amboy Lads Who
Took Biscuits from Freight

For the alleged stealing of a few
packages OF. "Uneeda Biscuits and "a

freight cars at South Amboy, and it
is declared they broke into one of the
cars and carried away,a few crackers.
Tt appears that the lads broke an

efftrt to have a cake feast.
Now they must remain in jail until
the Federal grand jury disposes of
their cases unless William G. Me-
Tague, who represents them, can
secure their release from Judge Joseph
Cross here on Monday.
An interesting point arose when At
torney McTague asked Commissioner
Stockton If he represented the gov
eminent at the hearing, as neither
the United States district attorney,
J. Warren Davis. or his assistant,
Charles f. Lynch, of Paterson, were
present.

missioner replied, for me to repre-
sent the government when neither the
district attorney nor his assistant is
present It's happened quite OFTEN re-
Gently. and I have had to question the
witnesses
Thereupon Attorney MeTague ap-
piled for the release of the defendants
on the ground that no prosecution was
presented by the government. COM
missioner Stockton oTerruled the mo
ton and Attorney McTague suggested
that perhaps the district attorney did
not intend to press the charges. Inc
commissioner admitted that copy OIL
