Newark evening star and Newark advertiser., 1915-04-14

The celebration in honor Of the in
auguration of a Federal League Clup
In this city is going to he big thing
in every way. The Dollar Dinner
tomorrow night at the Kruger Audi
torium should furnish a delightful
appetizer for the opening game on the
following day. The dinner is to be a
big love feast, with the big men in
Federal League baseball present, and
the entertainment committee declares
that they have secured the greatest
list of attractions ever presented at
such an affair. The tickets are limit
ed to 1000, and 1t looks as If there
will be plenty of room. However,
those who attend will have a dandy
time, so why worry about the molly
coddles who are always crying about
poor Newark and who never do any
thing for the good of the town? The
dinner in reality ought to be the big
gest thing ever, but 1t seems that
some of our noble citizens feel as II
they would be doing somebody favor
| IL they attended the banquet.
Perish the thought as Chairman Gil
len so ably explained to the MEM
bers of the general committee the
other night.
I'VE are doing this work to boost
Newark, and not to be rewarded for
efforts"
That's the idea-boost Newark.
C
But the dollar Dinner" will be
big and the parade will be monster
affair The parade committee reports
that more than $50 uniformed anna
teur and semi-pro teams will be in
line and the prize committee has
twenty-six trophies to be awarded by
the judges to the teams for various
merits About 800 tickets have been
sold for the dinner and perhaps q I
few more stragglers will come along
before the books are closed. Caterer
Lederer says that he will have to
know the full number of diners by
tonight, so it behooves the fans who
want to go to the banquet to get
a gait on right away. Germany
schaefer alone will be worth the price
of admission and all the players will
be on hand to greet the fans.
o
The coming OF the Feds is a great
thing for Newark and the citizens
should not fail to realize it and
appreciate it. Mayor Raymond and
other big citizens are showing the
proper spirit, but there are always
just so many who will sit back and
complain no matter what is being
done. The Feds will give Newark
more publicity and do the city more
good than any other one thing In
the world, and Messrs. Powers and
Sinclair, who are spending the
money to give UP a big league ball
club should be given all due credit
for their efforts in our behalf. They
have also given us a great ball team
and we have won all three games
played. Let us go over to the DOL
lor Dinner and to the opening game
and let us thank our lucky stars we
have a big league team to watch and
to root for.
Automobiles will be In demand Tor
the parade, and 1t is believed there
will be a shortage of cars. A large
number of autos has been promised
and Frank Briggs, president of the
urhn q n
ardent booster of the Feds, said he
would furnish a sufficient number of
1915 Oakland cars to take care of
the Newark and Baltimore players In
the march from Lincoln Park to the
grounds In Harrison on Friday. Mr..
Briggs said he would place the autos
at the disposal of p. T. Powers.
William j. Haggerty, the acting
chairman of the parade committee,
will get in communication with Mr..
Briggs at once, for the cars will be
badly needed.

A says that slavery was the main
cause of the Civil War, and that
secession started the war. claims
that secession was the main cause Of
the war. Who Is correct? H. J.
1t is generally accepted that the
Civil War broke out over the prin-
clpal of States right to secede from
| from the Union, and in that light
secession was the direct cause of the
war. However, 1t was over the ques-
ton of slavery that any desire to
| secede arose in the South.
