In every inning but the final the

and no runs came to the locals, who
had fifteen men left on the bases

the same kind of a fall-away fast ball
which makes the tall twirler of the

fellow displayed n lot of stamina and
pitched great game of ball in the

the Griffmen failed to get men on the
bases. but they scored in only two
innings.
DOC Ayers. in his last two games, has
shown better form than any of the
local pitchers have of late. 1t took the
Doc long while to get in form, but
he is expected to win lot of ball
games before the season ends.
1t was too bad that Ayers was not
selected to pitch the entire game for,
judged on the way he moved the

DOC AYERS ONCE MORE
DISPLAYS GREAT FORM
Elmer Smiths Triple and Single
Score Both of Griffmen's
Runs.

Grfffmen and Browns battled into
darkness in fourteen-inning tie game
yesterday.
1t was one of the most interesting
struggles that has been witnessed at
the local grounds for many a day. All
the runs of the day were scored in the
first five innings. The Browns got
theirs in the third and fourth and the
Griffmen one in the fourth and the
tying one in the fifth.
After that the locals had by far the
most chances to score. but they were
unable to get run over.
It was the brilliant hurting of Doc
Ayers which made the tie possible.
Bert Gallia, who went six innings, was
wilder than ever. giving seven bases
and allowing five hits. Two of the
bases developed into runs and then Doc
Ayers went the eight other innings. is
suing but one pass and allowing no
runs and but four hits.
1t was Elmer Smith, the new out
fielder, who made the tie game pos
sible. he driving in both runs for the
Griffmen. In the fourth. after Milan
had singled, Smith hit to the fence in
right center for a triple, sending Milan
home, but Smith. together with Shanks
and Henry, were left by the next three
batters. who failed to do anything on
which score could be obtained.
Leonard walked in the fifth, only to
be forced by Foster. Milan's grounder

Foster to reach second and a wild
pitch putting him on third. Then
Smith dropped a single into left, which

ment of the typical American county.
This the Devil worked at for CEN

and wonderful to behold.
Oddly enough. there is more jack

elected Offices and bigger ballots in
the county than anywhere else in
American government. California.
for instance, before the Short Ballot
movement, permitted its larger coun-
ties to elect nineteen separate inde-
pendent officials, which was every
one in the county government. Near
ly every state constitution insures the
popular election Of county officials.
The sheriff in every state except
Rhode Island Is elected.
Now with this statement in mind.

ty by Herbert Quick, who knows
rural life in America perhaps better

known that vessels are being sunk
every day and that lives are being
lost in the operation.
The policy of the United States is
to uphold international law. There
is not one kind of international law
for the United States and another for
other countries. President Wilson
has adopted a policy that lays stress
on the welfare not only of Americans,
but of humanity. 1t is plain. there
fore, that it makes no difference
whether the vessels sunk are Ameri-
can ships or not, if they have been
attacked without warning, or IL those
on board have not had an opportuni-
ty to escape, the affair is just as much
our concern as if the victims of the
submarine few the stars and stripes.
The situation is not a pleasant one
to contemplate. The administration
has a hard problem to solve. Having
announced its policy however. it
must live up to it, or lose the respect
of the world. The promise of Ger
many that no vessel would be sunk
without warning was hailed as 4
great diplomatic victory for the
United States and so it was. But
unless we see to it that Germany
lives up to the promise the victory
becomes a hollow sham.
There are so many phases entering
| into this submarine problem that
| hasty action is not compatible with
good judgment. The administration
is rightly going about the matter
calmly and deliberately. We cannot
| afford to make any mistake in the
matter. But If 1t is proven that
Germany has disregarded her pledge
to the United States in regard to the
method of submarine warfare, drastic
action must be taken.

lApparent that the present Board CT
Freeholders have not the courage to
tackle the hole In the WALL problem
In a way the people have q right 10
expect. 1t was hoped that the free
holders were merely holding off until
after election before making a move
that would bring about relief. The
election has passed into history and
there is not the slightest indication
that the freeholders propose to Go
anything in the matter.
Middlesex county has borne this
disgrace for some time. The petty
squabbling and prejudices in South
Amboy prevent that city from doing
its duty. With the freeholders, how
ever, it is entirely different These
men are supposed to look upon all
questions that come before them
from the viewpoint of the county AS
whole. not with any one particular
section in mind. 1t is not what is the
best for South Amboy, but what is
best for the county of Middlesex. In
cidentally, If real benefit to the city
will also be brought about, so much
the better. But the freeholders owe
their first duty to the county. If they
fulfill this duty they will do some
thing at once for relief at the hole
In the wall" This is the greatest
problem they have before them st
this time.
South Amboy has made her brag
that the hole" will never be closed.
If the people of South Amboy and
Mechanicsville desire to wallow
through the filthy place for the rest
of their lives, and have their children
do so, that is their choice, but the
people of the rest of the county and
of the state as a whole are going to
show more discrimination. Their
Ideas of decency are somewhat more
eievating. Furnish another way
around so that the public In general
can get through South Amboy with
out using this abominable spot and
the people of South Amboy and
Mechanicsville can enjoy their hole"
to their hearts content-until the
state health authorities come down
upon them, and save them from their
own short-sightedness.
Middlesex county has a right 10
expect something more of their
Board of F'reeholders than has been
shown In this matter. Tho present
members have served so long in
Office, perhaps, that they think thew
cannot be defeated and are privileged
TO ignore public demands. Perhaps
they are due to a rude awakening
