WILLIAM C. WESTON SAYS IN CASE OF FIRE IT MIGHT MEAN CATASTROPHE = MOVING PIG TURF DANGERS

Some of the leading architects of Bir- mingham are of the opinion that the dome of the city hall building should be recon strueted in order that what they contend is an omnipresent danger to life might he obviated. In the event of fire, the dome. which is constructed of wood sur rounded by concrete, would collapse, they say. and might in its fall kill many people.

 The Pending Legislation
 While it is generally thought that the local delegation would oppose the city manager plan in the legislative e, end thus make its defeat certain, the subject is interesting in view of leg islation pending before the general as sembly and Legislation in course of preparation. As reported in The ASe- Herald sunday, Representative Etc of Tuscaloosa will introduce a bill i'll July providing for the adoption of the city marager plan for tho municipalities. Senator Judge of Jefferson has a bIll before the legislature increasing the number of Birmingham commissioners from three to five There is little danger, as pointed ont above, of the success of the F'ite bill inasmueh as il will affect Birmingham. It is consid- cred a foregone conclusion that unless the people in referendum election say nay to the Judge bill, that measure will be put through the lower ho1se with the ease It passed the senate.
 Will the commission call refer endUm election for June 2? The com missioners oppose the plan to increase the number of commissioners. It is understood that Mr Weatherly favors q referendum.

one side then the other forging ahead
When Palisade had taken it's fifth
inning and Cliffside had hers, the
score stood 10 to against her. Then
the sixth came, and Cliffside added
two, Palisade three. In the seventh,
Cliffside got one, Palisade four, max
ing it again a tie at thirteen ALL
Palisade got five more in the eighth
and ninth, making her score 10 to
10 for Cliffside Then Cliffside went
into her half of the ninth and came
pretty nearly smashing the big five
run lead. She got four of them back
by almost miracle, because if Logan
had not thrown wild to first, that
would have made two out, and Beck
mann who got the next roller could
have stepped on the bag and retired
the side without run. Instead, he
and let all hands remain safe on their
perches. This started the racket,
and Cliffside may never have another
scene like it. 1t is to be hoped not.
The fact that Palisade got % hits
to 9, showed the batting strength,
but it did not show the luck of he
game, which was wabbly in spots to
desperation. AS game of spec
tacular dimensions, this contest de-
serves to go down in history, for it
had a thrill in it at every jump.
Manager Cadien has a corking good
team this season, and it will meet
the P;.lisadians again on the latter's
grounds later in the season, when an
other sharp encounter may be looked
for. The only thing needed to in
dictate real war last Monday was the
shrapnel and smell of powder.

CHfside Oxfords
Against Palisade

There was some game in the
afternoon of Decoration Day at
the Cliffside Fairgrounds. The
visitors were the well-known Pail
was worth going miles to see. Pail
SADIE B. B. C. team, and the fray
SADIE won by the close score of Is to
II, and then only after almost riot
of expressive yelling in the ninth
inning, when the Oxfords, as is their
wont, went in and banged out rally
that came within one of tieing the
thing up. This was all because
Logan, of Palisade, with one down,
allowed himself to throw high to
Beckmann at first, letting Goemann
go to second. Then Brady, who had
relieved Logan in the box in the
seventh, hit E. Delaney, and to make
matters worse than mixed for the
visitors, Place let high fly drop sent
to his garden by Ininger, Goemann
moving up to third on the play. Then
j. Delaney got a life on a fielders
choice, Goemann scoring amid the
wild hurrahs of the crowd that was
now crowding the first base line, and
Manager Logan went over and ap-
pealed to them to stand back. He
got his thanks for his pains, for the
crowd guyed him all the more. Then
Perraud got to first on a fielder's
choice again, E. Delaney scoring
Ininger having gotten to third.
Wellbank then singled, bunt, to
short infield, which Logan could not
get his hands on because the ball
bounced thirty feet in the air, and
when it came down it was too late,
and the hit counted safe. This let in
Ininger and in the mixup, j. Delany,
also scored, making four tallies,
within one of tie, and the crowd
fairly mad with excitement. The next
man up, Griffin, hit liner to Cadien,
in center, who made a pippin throw
to the plate, retiring Perraud, and
when this was done, Wellbank, who
had gone capering around the bags,
was caught by Logan on Woolcott's
return via Brady thus completing a
double play and ending the game with
Pallsade one run to the good. Just
why there were not score of peo-
pie picked up on the field of battle
from heart trouble, was surprising,
in view of the tremendous strain
everybody was in. The yelling done
by Cliffside was never before sur
passed on any diamond, and there
was the usual partisan feeling on the
result of the game. All through the
contest it was a whipsaw affair, first

POLITENESS.

Life is not so short but that there
is always time for courtesy" said
Emerson.
And "the very pineapple of polite
ness" to use Sheridan's phrase, con-
sists, according to Pope, Gin being
easy ones self, and in making every
one about one as easy as one can"
Sir Walter Raleigh, we are told,
was "the mirror of all courtesy" and
it was his act of polite gallantry, the
spreading of his cloak over a mud
puddle for Queen Elizabeth, that es-
tablished him so highly in royel
favor.
Politeness pays. It's dividends may
not be Immediately definite, but they
are certain, nevertheless. Politeness
is one of the hallmarks of gentility.
1t was one of the little Characters
tics which the true man and woman
costs absolutely nothing and yet pays
returns. 1t is a splendid investment,

Notes of the Game

Manager Cadien has reason to be
proud of his team. They are all
good players, but did not hit the Pail
SADIE pitchers very hard, getting most
of their runs on battery and field
ing errors. Mr.. Cadien handles him
self well on the field, and has the
full sympathy Of his home crowd.
The Palisade boys simply swamped
Perraud with hits, and but for the
rank errors that let in so many runs,
would have won by a much larger
score, measured, by their hitting
strength.
That boy Mitchell is going to
make a star player if he keeps up
his present stride.
1t did not matter to Perraud that
he was hit hard He kept right on
at it just as though nothing was hap
pening. He surely did stand some
pounding. And yet he almost won
his game at that.
Palisade is still bit weak in the
catching department. Woolcott has
done amazingly well for his first time
out with big pitchers, and deserves
a great deal of credit.

PaHsade Defeats
Bogota Club

Palisade again had the doubtful
pleasure of playing with the Bogota
Boat Club on Decoration Day, Win
ming by the also doubtful score of IA
to 9. 1t was some game, and Bogata
is some town for real sport Every
body has it in for the visitors, no
matter who is winning, but more
especially if the latters happens to
be ahead And as for the home team
scoring, whenever they make a run
or even a hit, the heavens fall. 1t
is all over then but the rest of the
shouting. Up in the grand stand,
the rooters say real things. Discon-
certing players is their strong suit,
and at this branch of the game as
played in Bogota, they are past
masters. Just why, deponent sayeth
not.
The Palisades tried Beckmann in
the box for the first time, and he did
not do very well, owing to lack of
control. Logan relieved him in the
fifth, after two were down, four bases

Englewood High Wins
mterschoIastic Base
Ball Championship

The Englewood High School base
ball team won the interscholastic
championship for Northern New Jer-
sey last Tuesday by defeating it's
ancient enemy, Rutherford High in a
thriller of game, the score being 2
to l, ten innings. Brady pitched for
Englewood and had eighteen strike
outs. He allowed only four hits to
eight for Englewood. Brady should
have won by larger margin, but
claims the umpiring was against
them. One of the Passaic team de-
liberately hit an Englewood boy in
the ribs with his fist in order to in
jure him, and was called down savage
ly by Paul Brady. For his share with
Englewood High, Brady had twelve

Palisade B. B. Club
Runs In Another
Victory Over Clouers

The Palisade B. B. C. scored an
other clean cut victory last Saturday
over the Clover A. G. team, of Hack
ensack, Little Ferry, or somewhere
over in that direction. The Palisade
boys were in clover, not so much at
the victory, as at the fact that 1T
kept up their string OF victories, and
because it developed fine new player
in George Beckmann, who slugged
the ball every time he went to bat,
and caught star game IN left Held.
OF the seven hits, George got nearly
all of them, except one by Paul
Brady and another lucky one through
short by Logan. The game played
by Beckmann verfes the confidence
'"rhe Palisadian" has always had in
this promising young player. His
performance in his game last Sat
urday should entitle him to considera-
ton at all times, and he should
never be left out.
The Glover pitcher was a bit wild,
and in the first inning Dick Ansell
got beaned by the ball, falling to the
ground in front of the plate, it
being necessary to carry him to the
side lines when he was resusitated,
but forced to retire from the
game with broken jaw. lie
got hit by the ball on the right
cheek bone, fearful blow indeed.
Jenec kept hitting players, getting
four in all, and giving four bases
on balls. He is good pitcher, with
lots of speed and a wide outcurve.
If he had better control he would
make the teams of northern New
Jersey stand from under. The Pail
SADIE game was his first loss of the
season.
Paul Brady pitched a good game
for six innings, retiring for Logan
to get little practice for one Of the
Monday games. Two runs were
scored on both the Palisade pitchers,
though Logan's support was not SO
good as Brady's Goemann, allowing
the visitors to start rally IN the
ninth that might have been serious.
AS it was, the Clovers took advan-
tage of the error and a wild pitch
and got two runs over, leaving the
score 6 to A, and it might have been
worse but for magnificent catch by
Beckmann of long, hard drive to left
bv Nichols in the last inning which
would have been an excusable miss,
for the ball went away over to his
right, and he had to run like
quarter horse to get it, and far over
his head at that.
AS game fit to watch it was all
good clean ball, with a minimum of
errors. The field looked good and
clean, and was also very fast-too
fast in fact. The new backstop was
up. and was much admired. The

on balls had been given, and four
runs IN. BOgota scored one on Logan
in that inning, on two bases on balls
and two wild pitches, and their last
IN the sixth on Goemann's error at
first of Wolcott's throw of dropped
third strike, Goemann, failing to hold
the ball. This error cost a run, as
the next batter sacrificed, and Goe-
mann's missed man mosied around to
third on wild pitch, coming home
on Texas Lacquer by Keegan over
second. The Bogatas scored five runs
in the fifth on Beckmann's wildness.
The game stood 8 to 7 in favor of
Bogota, until the sixth, when Palisade
went in and knocked the hide off the
ball, getting seven hits and seven
runs, twelve men being up at bat.
II the management of the Bogota
team will only try and make the
home crowd curb themselves a bit,
it will add much to the pleasure of
everybody, and a great deal Of good
to the game. There is nothing to
be made by wearing crouch every
minute. Baseball deterioates in view
of such practices. 1t means simply
that the crowd is going to defeat all
visitors no matter what the cost.
Mere ethics cut no figure whatever.
For Palisade there was little choice
in the quality of the playing. All the
members did well and their full part.
Bradys and Reuhmann's batting
were features, each getting three
hits, the latter having 1000 per cent.
average for the day. Brady had
.750.
The score:

work on both sides, and was game
worth going miles to see. Harry

thing. The partial score is appended:
