Leonia Fortnighters
Annual Banquet
With Speeches

That popular social organization,
the "Fortnighters," of Leonia, held
it's annual banquet March 6, at the
Hotel Breslin, New York. All of the
twenty-siX members were present,
and each one managed to get home
safely the same night, none being
lost in the mazes of the great city
over the way The menu was pre-
sentation of real joy to a coming ap-
petite, and was served as only the
Breslin can do up task of that kind,
which is saying all that need be said.
1t was the limit of culinary art, ac-
cording to one of the members pres
ent. Each guest was presented with
a medallion of beef, oysters on the
half, half of a chicken, cream of
asparagus soup, filet of sea trout,
candied sweet potatoes, salad, ice
cream, cake and coffee. Yet after
all that feast, there were eight we'll
chosen speeches. Guy S. Nankivel
was POSTMASTER. George S. Mills
the famous catcher, talked on the In
come Tax, A. M. Gentzsch sang
mississippi Cabaret" Harold Hop
kins, the never miss 'em left fielder,
discussed WARS Effect on Importa
tions," Wilbur F. Osler, jr., talked on
"Sub Stations" H. A. Bailey, the
handsome southpaw, had "Advertis-
ing" as topic, and James c. Stage
took up prophecy" and made a hit.
The evening is said to have been the
best the club ever had.

Commission Coming Fast.

The recent election in Hoboken
that was carried in favor of the COM
mission form of government, is only
another addition to the now formid-
able list of cities that are determined
to give the system a tryout. Trenton
has had it in working order for more
than two years, and is more than
satisfied that it is the ideal form of
municipal government. At first it
was said that Trenton represented
too much in the way of political lead
ers for commission government ever
to break away from the politicians
hold. Yet the tendency seems to be
that when the professional politician
gets on commission government,
and really represents the people in
stead of a party, he manages to get
along and make a creditable showing.
This proves, of course, that the peo-
pie after all want the politician to
serve them instead of his party.
Over in Ridgefield Park, about two
miles from Palisade and Grantwood,
as the crow flies, they are now cele-
brating the second year of commits
sion government and are tickled to
pieces to see what has been accom-
plished in the way of getting better
government, better service for the
people in every manner, and saving
of finances that looks like bank
statement when given the other day
to the public through "The Bulletin
the local newspaper that is such a
credit to Ridgefield Park. They used
to wonder where all the money went
over there; now they almost wonder
what they are going to do with all
they have saved and have on hand.
The next municipal candidate for
commission government is Bayonne,
and Rutherford has given the matter
consideration. There is a fine open
ing among the Eastern Bergen bor-
oughs, which are now in the hands
of party officials who manage the peo-
pies affairs. A borough would have
fine opportunity to add to the eff
fectiveness of commission govern
ment. 1t could prove that the pres
ent system of borough government,
while not necessarily fallacious, is
not nearly as efficient as the COM
mission form.
Politician Griffin, of Hoboken, who
has been the admitted and I'M
popular leader of the Democrats
in that city for many years,
found himself beaten in the re-
cent election, and is now a candi-
date for post on the commission,
and his appeal made this week is
most interesting document. Mr.. Crit
fin insists that he is now just as
anxious to serve the people as he
formerly was to serve his party, and
having been successful in the former,
he is just as sure of being able to
do the right thing by the people on
the commission. He uses sound logic,
though it must be understood that
the first people to propose commits
sion always are the politicians. 1t
looks as though the whole country
was waking up to the simple pro-
cesses used in commission govern
ment, and it is going along at
rapid rate.

A CORRECTION FOR
WOMAN'S CLUB

The last "Palisadian" contained an
article about the Fort Lee school cleo
ton that was calculated to place the
Woman's Club in wrong light. 1t
was stated that the club stood to elect
two candidats from Palisade, when,
as a matter of fact, they advocated
only one man, DR.. Charles P. Berkey.
The reporter no doubt felt that he had
clarified the situation, but such was
not the case. A request has been re-
ceived by "The Palisadian" to correct
this impression.

New York, April 1 13--Although Con- T1ie Mack may have broken up his s1Oo,00e infield and otherwise impair ed his championship baseball machines he has gathered together for this years race a group of players who can hit the ball hard and know how to field. Yesterday the Mackmen invad- ed Ebbets Field and defeated the Dodgers by the score of u to g. The rattle of bats could be heard for blocks around the baseball park, as the Athletics gathered sixteen hits off the Brooklyn moundsmen and the Dodgers made eleven safe bing1es off the service of two of Mack's recruits. The Athletics did not have much trou- b1e getting the eleven runs. Mack remained in Philadelphia and sent Harry Davis over to Brooklyn to take charge of his men. Joe Vo1tz was nominated by Davis to do the tvvirItng for the Athletics, and for five innings he was allowed to show his delivery. He was somewhat wild. giving three bases on balls and making one wild pitch, but he allowed only four hits.
 Iarruping Larry Lajoie, who will probably hold down the second station for the Athletics this year, did not do much Iarruping yesterday. In his five times at bat he sacrificed once and made one safe hit, struck out once and on the other two occasions was an easy out on a grounder. and DOT fIy.

Detroit. Mich, April 1s.-BiIl Sweeney. who was recently released by the Red Sox was yesterday sign ed by the Detroit club. He had been playing with the Tigers for more than a week Sweeney will open the sea- son at second base as Marty Kavan- agh. the regular ip pcumbent of that position, has been shifted to first. This move was made imperative by the injury to Burns ankle. Burns will not be able to play for at least 8 month. His injury was a good deal like that which Burns of the Giants suffered at about the same time.
 Sweeney, who played with the Braves for several years and then was traded to the Cubs, was released by Bresna han and was signed by the Red Sox. He played bad ball at Hot Springs and was again released. Had he been unable to get major league berth he would have stayed out of the game. Hughfe Jennings is now very sorry he permitted Waffle tPipp to go to the Yankees.

ANNIVERSARIES OF RING BATTLES

1s67-Tom Chandler defeated Dooney Harris in 23 rounds at San Francisco This was the first ring battle for the nfdd1eweight cham pionship of America, which had been claimed tby Chandler. The bout was fought with bare knuckles and was an exhibition of sIugging and haFd- hitting with lots of action. It was for $5.000 a side, considered a. huge sum for a pugilistic bout in tE@se days Chandler did not long retain the title, retiring soon afterward, when George Rooke became the middleweight king and retained the honors until 1874, when he was whipped by Mike Dono- van. Donney Harris, the loser in the California battle of nearly half a cen tury ago, probably took more puntsE- ment than any other fighter in his tory, but, although slashed to bits in many a contest with the ''raw 'uns, 2 hellived to be well past the TO mark.
