Few who read this scommunica-

name appears in the heading OF
this article. She was born a lit
tie over S5 years ago, north Of
Statesville, near Trinity church,
and has been gone so long from
her native community and home
people, that most OF those who
knew her and were intimately as
sociated with her during her
young life, have passed away,
and her name and face have ia
ded away from the memory of
most of the few who still live.
But she has not been entirely for

More than so years ago, as an
orphan boy, l lived in the home
o. her father, and it was there
that l first came to know and to
esteem her highly as a Christian
woman. The old home where she
first lived and was reared has
mouldered into dust and vanish.

Only last year l rode rapidly by

have not faded away. They are

Though dead they still live and

THREE DEMANDS
TO BE MADE BY
BASEBALL FRAT"
Have Already Been Filed
With National Commits
sion-Meeting Later

NEW YORK, Oct. 2s,--The three formal
demands made by the Baseball Players
Fraternity on the minor leagues, which hold
their annual meeting at New Orleans on
November IA. will be addressed to the Ma
tional Association OF Professional Baseball
Leagues and have been filed with the Ma
tional Commission.
The demands are as follows
First. Expenses of all minor league
players from their homes to the spring
training camps must be paid by their en-
ployers.
Second Copies of the evidence and deci-
sions In all cases considered by the ma
tional board (the minor leagues Court of
Appeals) must be sent to the president of
the fraternity
Third. Injured players must receive full
pay during the period of incapacity or their
unconditional releases.
Some of the minor league clubs have paid
the expenses of their players to the training
camps for several years, but 1t is understood
that many others either have allowed the
players to buy their own railroad tickets or
have deducted the money advanced for such
transportation from the players salaries
AS all Of the major league clubs furnish rail-
road and sleeping car fares In the spring
the fraternity naturally feels that the minor
circuits should do the same
II the fraternity wins this point. the ex-
penses of the minors will be materially in
dence and decisions Is not regarded as ex-
orbitant inasmuch as there Is no reason
why the national board should hide any
thing from the players or the public All
major league cases reviewed by the National
Commission are published at length In the
official organs OF the major leagues, 80 that
players and other interested parties can 20
over the evidence and the rulings with per-
feet freedom.
Regarding injured players the minor
leagues at present have a rule which pro-
vides for salary in full during two weeks
following an injury, after which the man is
placed on the ineligible list He cannot OBJ
tain his release, however, and must remain
under contract indefinitely without pay
The Fraternity's demand for salary during
players disability or his unconditional
release means trouble
The minor leagues. which have Just stag
| gered through a disastrous season, are in
| cliIed to cut down expenses. The Frater-
nity's request, therefore, Is expected "a
| meet with strong opposition. especially from
| clubs In the lower classes II In a foreEon<
| conclusion that the minor leagues at Their
conclave will carefully consider the Frater.
nity's petition. but whether the concessions
will be granted or not Is a question that
cannot be answered here.

basketball II they could get larger build
ing.
HOWEVER, THERE Is no chance for the
Jewels to get a larger place until some one
builds. Nonpareil Halls capacity IL lsOV,
but when that number of fans is crowded
in there is scarcely breathing room, and
many of these have to- stand. The cage,
too, is far too small This naturally keeps
scores down, because a tighter defense can
be maintained, but the game. though
speedy. is not sufficiently open when played
on such diminutive floor.
The Jasper officials have gone over Ken
sington thoroughly, but they have not been
able to find hall that is even as good as
Nonpareil, hence the Jewels will have to
play there again this season.
JASPER MEN ARE not in favor Of the
double-referee system. They believe that
the officials will not only get in each others
way on the noor, but think that some
wrangling may be started between the
referee and umpire. That might occur, but
at the same time the referee and not the
umpire has the final word consequently no
time should be lost in that way.
McGREGoR AND LUNDEN will be used
substitutes by the Jewels this season
McGregor was with that team last year He
played In fifteen games, had three assists
and thirteen field goals. His average was
only l;07. Lunden played four years on
the Cornell varsity team. In 1914-15 he
ranked high In the Intercollegiate League
as a field goal shooter. but last year his
work was not so good His total points
last year amounted to only about half OF
his figure Of the previous year.
THE AMERICAN LEAGUE games this
season will probably be played at the
Quaker City "A. c. Several OF the faster
players In that circuit will be among the
missing this season. Parker has gone 20
Dubuque, Ia, where he win be in college this
season. Ehlers will probably retire from
basketball, while Haire and Dienes have

yania State League.

SEDAN CAR
TURNED TURTLE

Mr.. and Mrs. Archer Platt, of Frank
lin Drive, have returned from motor
trip in the Adriondacks which en-
braced a period of two weeks. They
were accompanied by Mrs. Thomas
Platt, of North Jersey. While motor
ing through the mountains the party
had terrifying experience. The
sedan car in which the party were rid
ing skidded and turned completely
over. Both ladies were severely cut
and bruised. Mrs. Thomas Platt had
II stitches taken in an ugly cash in
her leg. The clothing was literally
ripped from Mr.. Platt and he was cut
and bruised.
1t was supposed the car was seriously
damaged, but when the machine was
righted it ran off as smoothly as ever.
But little damage was done the car.
At the place where the accident hap
pened there had been previously 49
similar experiences.

POLITICAL
INFIDEL|1Y

UP to within week many friends
OF Governor Stokes entertained the
nope that they might have the privi-
lege OF casting their ballots for him
for the position of United States SEN
ator. But conditions have changed.
MIR. Stokes is not a candidate. In a.
letter to the public he assigns as his
reason for withdrawing from the
contest his desire for party harmony
which he places above his personal
ambition. Very laudable in Mr.
Stokes, but why should he rather
than either of the other two candi-
dates make the sacrifice? Surely.
neither of them have any better claim
or fitness for the high position.
Three years ago, when the Republi-
can party needed some one to lead a
forlorn hope in this State, Mr.. Stokes.
at great personal sacrifice, accepted
the Republican nomination for Cover
nor. He did not win-no other man
could have done better. 1t was then
generally conceded that he was the
logical candidate for United States
Senator. Even the bosses said Amen,
only to forget and disregard their OBJ
legations to the man who was entitled
to their support.
The real reason why Edward C.
Stokes name will not appear as the
Republican choice for United States
Senator is because Of the damnable
Hypocrisy and perfidy of those who
should have given him their support
for the nomination.

AFTER The JUNK DEALERS

Yesterday afternoon a Bridgeton Of
ficer of the law came to Vineland and
arrested Joe Barbacci and Goldstein,
the men that were exposed in the
recent; hearings of the boy burglars.
The Bridgeton officer went before
Justice DeLuca who took bail for the
appearance of Barbacci and Goldstein
in Bridgeton this morning before
Justice Frank Lore. The way this re-
opening of these now famous cases
came about was through the inf1u-
ence, it is said, of half dozen lead
ing citizens, some of them Italians
and Hebrews, who declared they
could not stand for the release of the
accused men without trial. They
went to Bridgeton and laid the matter
before the higher authorities who i'm
mediately agreed that he accused
men should stand trial A warrant
was issued by Justice Lore and the
men were called to Bridgeton this
mOrning.-Vineland Journal.

GUARDSMEN
LEFT CAMP
Came to Bridgeton on a
Freight Train.
BOYS WERE MAD
Two Salem Guardsmen Picked
Up Here To-day as
Deserters.

Private James T. Ray and private
Ollver d. Myers, Co. A, Sd regiment,
N J. Guards, deserted from the camp
at Sea Girt last night and landed here
on the freight train this morning.
They were picked up by officer
Woodruff and taken to City Hall
where they were detained.
When Mayor Whitaker arrived. he
told them, after hearing their story,
that they would be detained until
their officers were heard from. The
Mayor telephoned at once in an effort
to get in touch with Captain Keasbey,
of the Salem Company, at Sea Girt.
Private Ray said they were at tar
get practice and failing to qualify his
sergeant got sore with him and he
was marked for guard duty.
Private Meyers said the same thing
happened to him, and he had still
more shots due when he was sure he
could have made good, but was not
given the chance
Both boys determined to go home
without asking leave. Both had been
sworn in and had signed the papers.
Private Ray said he was a jitney
driver at Salem. Meyers has been in
the employ of Bridgeton & MillvilSe
Tsaction Co., as a repair man. and
was boarding at Mrs. Vanmeter's
boarding house, corner Jefferson ana
South Pearl Streets. He left here
with Company K, joining his own
company at Camden
Both the boys said they now dis
covered they had got in bad. They
were pretty mad when they left,
thinking they had been unfairly used
by their sergeant.
They boarded the freight train at
$50 last night, arriving here at four
o'clock this morning.
They expect they will be sent back
and punished. -~s.n..s

TEACHERS BACK HOME

On Saturday of this week, all of the
Bridgeton teachers who have been at
tending the summer school for teach
ers at Ocean City will return home.
The session lasts for six weeks and in
that time the teachers learn enough
of some subjects to allow them credit
on their certificates for that subject,
while in other more difficult subjects,
it is necessary to take two summer ses-
sions of the work. These teachers went
away soon after school closed and will
now be at leisure for few weeks until
school opens once more. There were
quite a number from our city in at
tendance. They report that the work
was especially hard this term and quite
difficult to get.
