Palisade Triangles
Defeat Grammercys

The Triangle Club, one of Palisades
baseball teams, met the Gramercy
Athletic Club, of New York City, at
the Fairgrounds last Saturday and
proceeded to give their larger oppo-
nents a good beating. Although the
score. 8 to A, does not indicate one
sided or loose game, the Triangles
proved their superiority by banging
out eleven hits, three of which were
two baggers, and outplaying the
visitors on the paths. The Triangle
Club is a bit weak in the field, al
though they make up this failure
while at bat. The boys seemed to be
able to hit the ball exceedingly hard
when it was needed most. Being
quite an exception to the usual team,
they are quick to take chance. This
may be very good baseball, but
little of this goes long ways, and
is only practiced by the fastest OF
base runners. One thing might be
said: they have the "pep" and exhibit
it freely as coachers are kept con-
tinually on the lines. Their diffidence
with the umpire is usually suppressed
but once in while an outbreak IS
heard.
Aimone, who resides in West Ho-
boken, is one of the finest pitchers
who ever performed for Palisade and
he is indeed deserving of special
mention. His quiet, cool manner is
one of his features which fools the
batter. To look at Aimone's position
before delivering the ball sarcastic
smile usually crosses the batter's
face as he believes him unable to
put anything on the ball." Aimone
has some of the finest curves and his
control is as near perfect as possible.
His batting average to date is .776.
Quite some batting.
Lane, the fast little short stop, for
the Triangles is improving into
an excellent fielder, as he plays his
position with precision and certainty.
In his three assists Saturday
Lane handled each very well and
made two very pfeICy catcneS VI
Texas leaguers. At the bat he is a
bit weak, and the trouble is certain
ly evident-too anxious. It might be
said here though, that Leonard was
literally robbed of two beautiful
drives by the fast second baseman
Tilkinson.
Ruehmann, Woolcott, and Beck
mann. are all playing in fine form
and are knocking the ban a. cs...s fol
fair. One of Ruehmann's hits Satur-
day was scorching two Dagger
which drove over two runs. Wool
colt, who is holding up the catching
end is a bit weak in throwing, al
though there is a marked improve
ment in this. Place and Boyd are
both playing fast ball and are "there'
in pinch. Borgstede is veal
hitter, although luck seems to bt
against him continually.
The Triangle Club will play High
wood at Highwood this Saturday
May 20.

IMPORTANCE or
LIFE INSURANCE
State Commissioner w.
F. Dunbar
MAKES AN ADDRESS
insurance Is the Single Vic.
tory Man Has Won Over
the Calamity Of Death"

In a recent address to life insur.
ance companies and agents in Ten.
nessee, Commissioner w. F. Dunbar
paid the following deserved and
high tribute to life insurance.
i hold that life insurance is the
most efficient and beneficent busi-
ness institution created by human
genius.
When a man takes out a life in
surance policy for any reason what
ever, he does a wise thing, but
when he secures it for the protec-
ton Of those he loves, he performs
one Of the noblest and most unself-
ish acts OF which he is capable. 1t
also helps him. as it is evidence
that he is in good health, Of good
moral character, and in good stand
Ing in his community. When he
takes out a new policy, he takes on
q new dignity. He thereby protects
those dependent upon him and
serves the state by saving it the
possible care Of paupers.
True, it is his plain duty (if he
can get IT'D, dictated by both affec-
ton and patriotism; but it must be
borne in mind that for thousands Of
years self-interest has been the
handspring of action; hence the
prompting Of the agent is a neces-
sary factor in leading the thought to
consummation in the deed.
Life insurance policies are sym
bols Of love and good citizenship.
They throw protecting aegis
around the holy precincts Of home. |
Life insurance realizes in its
manifold functions, as no other in
strumentality does, at once the
highest aspirations that stir the |
human heart and the most prosaic
and practical considerations Of our
earthly existence. Its ministrations
are both temporal and spiritual. 1t
has nothing to do with distractions;

REPORTED DEATH
OF FRANCISCO VILLA
Not vorified and Troops
ContiDue
LOOKS LIKE TRICK
Find Of Villas Body Credited
to NewpheW of Corronzo.
De Focto President

On last Monday or perhaps a day
earlier currency was given to the
report that Francisco Villa, the BAN
dit chief, who was being pursued in
Mexico, by United States Troops,
had died from a wound received at
about the time Of the battle be-
tween our troops and the Villa band
of cutthroats. The find Of Villas
burial place was credited to Carlos
Carranza, who had exhumed it and
was taking the remains on special
train to the city Of Chihaqhau, The
information has been added that
Villa had been suffering foF a year
from blood poisoning, which put
him in imminent danger aof death
should he receive another wound.
At the latter part Of last week,
Carranza, the de facto president,
had made demand for the withdraw
al Of American troops from Mexi-
can soil, claiming that thes purpose
sought had been accomplished in
the breaking up and scattering of
the Villa band; but Uncle Sam did
not seem disposed to quit the
and evidence Of that determination
BEING apparent. 1t was at .oneab fol-
lowed by the reported death Of
Villa-which report at once had the
look Of a Carranza trick to accom-
plish what the Carranza note had
failed to do AS the matter has
stood for several days, identification
OF Villas remains by hirelings and
partisans Of Carranza would hardly
be worthy of credit. 1t is to be
hoped that Villa is dead, but the
fact lacks much Of being proven
and what the ultimate outcome in
Mexico will be learned by Watch

Peculuoitles Of the Negro Race
Touched Upon and Pso-
pie Of South Criticised
NUMBER 3S

There is a town in Georgia that is
said to have the "queerest law in
the world" According to q writer
in the Atlanta Journal the law,
which IS known as the 'anti-pan.
toting law" reads like this.
IL shall be unlawful for any cook
to take from her place Of employ
ment, any victuals in apanor buck
ct without written permission from
her employer"
It is also said that the law has
had most salutary effects, for both
employer and employe. That it has
made idle negroes, who lived off the
scrappings Of his wife, and incident
ally the small peckings, 60 to work
on his own account. Likewise it
has saved many dollars to employ
ers who were called upon to feed
the trifling members Of the cooks
family. The mayor Of the town
possessing this odd statute Is quot
ed as saying that the ordinance IS d
good one, and he is Of the opinion
that other towns would be benefit
ed by the same sort Of law, the BEN
efts Of which are twofold.
That isn't a bad idea, come to
think about it. Southern people
have long stood in their own light
in the matter Of good help, and Of
good service from the people they
hire A Northern woman, recently
moved South, gave this reason for
poor service, and the scant service,
rendered Southern women. Said
she:
You women feed and clothe
your working classes. especially your
colored help. Insteadof making them
pay for what they Get, you clothe
them in your old garments, many
Of them excellent garments, perhaps
worn for but one occasion. Then
you feed their families from your
kitchens, and there they are; and
there you are They are fed and
clothed, and sometimes housed; but
the housing is small matter, since
any little shack will do them, and
when they can't pay the rent all
they have to do Is to get another
shack, dodge the collector two
months, then move again.
If" she continued, you will
make them earn their food and
clothing you will get better service,
and will help to bring about q bet
ter state among the working people,
white and black"
This, Of course, refers to the shift
less class Of the races. There are
colored people who own their own
homes, and who neither ask, buy,
nor desire secondhand clothes and
pan-route victuals. Many people
load their cooks with food they
really need themselves, for the rea-
son that q cook Is not found every
day, and almost any sort Of cOnces-
sion Is preferred to the risk Of los
Inc her. But if the law take the
matter in hand-Why, as the old
saw goes, that IS a gray horse Of
another color.
"A Nashville man who owns sew
eral small houses that are rented to
negroes tells some laughably tragic
experiences as a landlord. Unless
he goes regularly once d week for
his rent, and shall Get to the scene

MI. L. r. Bellah, Of the Industrial

it can be said that it was due to his
enterprise and compliance with re-
