Bggs Pitcher (Aperage 7OO Tells About Hmse-He Has
a Grievance and Spills H-How He Joined
Organized Ball and Met Ike.
by CHARLES E. VAN LOAN
CThe worlds most famous writer of baseball fiction

for pitching maybe thirty games a
season.
1--WE had my eye on you, kid" says
this Garrett, and, take it from me.
you're some ball player You got the
stuff that all these big league man
ayers are after, but don't run away
with the notion that you can go to
the top all in one jump, because it
can't be did. You must get into some
regular league-one's that under the
protection Of organized baseball-and
first thing you know along comes a
scout, sees you work, and bing! You
to the East and the big money"
He said he could almost guaran-
tee that. He showed me what a soft
life it would be, travelling around the
State, and seeing the country, and
putting up at first-class hotels, and
pitching maybe two times a week
ONLY about four hours work, he said.
Then after that l could go East, and
be celebrated, and get my five thou
sand a season as easy as rolling off a
log.
1t looks sort of foolish to me now,
set down In writing this way, but
while Garrett was talking l could

is improving and before long she Is
likely to develop into a fast horse
Mr.. Deicks is retiring from the trot-
ting game and is Offering this mare

The roam mare, Marion Mcneil,
owned by william Clarken, of East
Orange, had a slight accident last
Friday evening. Mr.. Clarlken was jog
ging his mare when in play she
bounced up over the crossbar. Her
leg rested on the crossbar and this
threw her down. She tipped the cart

skinned her left hind leg and received
a slight strain. She will be back In

ticket to be headed by Governor
Hiram Johnson, of California, sound
ed the keynote of the meeting when
he said that the first thing the State
Progressives should do was to find
out the plans of the national leaders
and then depend upon them for guild
ance. For this very purpose George
w. Perkins, of New York, chairman
OF the Progressive National Commit
tee, was present, and his word Is re-
garded as authority that there will
be no backing down. "Progressives
throughout the country intend to stay
in this fight" said Mr.. Perkins.
Mr.. Perkins agreed with Mr.. Leach,
of Ocean, who, In explaining his lack
of enthusiasm, said that the European
war would create issues that would
overshadow any that had confronted
the parties of the past Mr.. Perkins,
while not so pessimistic as the Ocean
committeeman, said that the country
was as ill-prepared for peace as for
war"
Then he took UP the tariff. His idea
was that the war is responsible for
whatever prosperity the country now
enjoys and as soon as the war is over
there will be an immediate slump and
the exposure of the faultiness of the
Democratic tariff, which the war
averted last fall. Men will be out of
work in this country and men who
have been fighting In Europe will go
I back to work and, being used to small
wages during the war, will be content
to work for wages Just as small aft
erward.
Tariff as an Issue.
The nations of Europe, of necessity
attempting to restore the balance of
gold reserve, will go after all the
trade they can get in this country,
and In his opinion because of the loop
holes afforded by the present tariff
they will be able to get a great deal
of 1t.
The progressive idea of tariff regu-
lation is the only proper remedy, in
Mr.. Perkins's opinion-the idea OF
tariff revision by non-partisan COM
mission. He said that strong pres
| sure is to be brought to bear on Con-
gress next year in this direction
With scarcely any exception, Repub-
| licans to whom the matter has beer
| broached have refused and Democrats
have agreed to help, Mr.. Perkins said
| The Republican leaders, he said. have
| displayed an utter lack of apprecia-
| ton of what the country really
wants.
Fourteen counties we're represented
ten women being present. There will
| be full tickets In every county, with
| the exception of Mercer, in the com

sanguine that the showing would

Extremely bitter was the denuncia-
