Episcopal Rector,
N. F. Montgomery,
Was Born In Turkey

1t will be of. interest to many
dwellers on the Hilltop to know that
Rev. Marshall F. Montgomery was
born in Turkey, where he lived until
he was fifteen years Of age. Mr.
Montgomery still speaks the Turkish
language, which he characterizes as
simple and easy to learn.
At the present time, a brother to
Mr.. Montgomery, Rev. George Mont.
geometry, is connected with the United
States embassy at Constantinople!
and is himself a man of exceptional
talent.
Allan Carson, a Palisade boy has
learned many Turkish phrases
through Mr.. Montgomery which he
speaks with much fluency.

Attorney E. {. kion
Makes Explanation
On Faiiruieu Officer
Hackensack, N. j.,


April 8, 1916.
To the Editor of the "Palisadian,"
Palisade, N. J.
Dear Sir: In your issue of April 1,
commenting on the. meeting of the
Fairview Council, you printed the
following statement: County Com
mitteeman Strong, through his at
torney, asked for an apology from
Police Officer John j. Ridgway, who
put him out of the polling place at
the recent school election. 1t appears
that the committeeman was inter-
ferring with the election officers and
the police officer, acting on the
orders from Mayor Lyons, escorted
Strong from the building"
Those familiar with the whole af-
fair know that your statement is I'M
true, and if allowed to pass, would
tend to discredit my client, Mr..
Strong, in the eyes of the community
and would injure his business. re-
spectfully demand that in your next
issue, you retract said statement. All
that Mr.. Strong objected to at the
time that Officer Ridgway exceeded
his authority, was to demand that
the presiding officer on the school
election stop handing marked ballots
to the voters as they approached the
polls to cast their ballot.
In this action, on the part of Mr..
Strong, he should be highly COM
mended instead of censured, and the
act of the presiding officer at the
school election of handing marked
ballots to voters as they approached
the polls over which said officer was
presiding, was highly reprehensible,
and should be carefully looked into
by all public spirited citizens.
l know your spirit of fairness will
cause you to retract the statement
above complained of, and possibly
cause you to investigate the matter
for your own benefit.
Very truly yours,
E. C. Irion.

their first game of the season.
This years team will be much

has been strengthened where it need.
ed strengthening and it will grow
stronger as the season approaches.
The outfield will be strong. O'tel
and Cadien rank with the best OF
high school players. The selection
of another outfelder is narrowed
down to candidates who have the
ability to hit. Captain Goemann, q
consistent player at first is fixture
The fight for the position at the key
stone sack is very bitter. Schrieber
Damis and Coonan are playing gilt
edge ball. Schrieber is the most ag-
gressive and never shirks work
Damis, who fields nicely, will have to
show more ideal playing spirit. Coo
nan is a heavy hitter but weak in
handling the ball.
At short Fred Grant and Oden-
waller are working earnestly. Grant
in the opinion of the writer is a
natural batter and will probably be
retained
R. Grant and Popp are burning up
the groun around third base. Grant,
a conscientious player, will have to
dig" to surpass Popp. If Popp
takes the game seriously he ought
to be a valuable player to the team.
The catching department has been
strengthened by the addition of
Brickner. Prout has met strong COM
petition in him. Prout probably is a
better man with the stick but not as
fast. Few high school players have
a better arm than Brickner
With Griffen, Herschler and Len
harr to do the twirling, the pitching
staff is fair. Griffen will be better
this year. Herschler, who has the
physique of Caldwell of the Yanks,
gives promise of becoming great
pitcher. His southpaw delivery,
coupled with curves and to quote
baseball phraseology of to-day, steam,
is a big asset to him. Lenharr is
sure to show up well. The game to-
day will be test of the strength of
all the players.
Next Tuesday the students will
play the first of a series of three ex-
hibition games with a team repre-
senting the faculty of the high school.

There is no doubt that Willard can hit

can put nearly 40 pounds into the punch.
Willard landed a straight right handler
over Jack Johnson's heart IN the eight

BAKER FIXES INFIELD Ut

NEW YORK. Feb. 2e-Aeeording to
Wild Bill Donovan. the one thing stand
ing between him and real fighting ball
club of pennant winning ealiber>-and a
remote thing, at that--is the possibility
OF neither Alexander nor Walters making
good as a catcher.
Those two fellows are young" said
Wild Bill, ''and II anything should happen
TO give them a check I would be without
a reliable catcher. l have no veteran
backstop to keep the boys in balance. I
do not anticipate any trouble In that al
rection. however. for, in my opinion
Alexander is one Of the best young catch
ers ever saw and toward the latter
part OF last season l,e was getting better
every day. Walters didn't have much
chance to show what he could do, but in
tho few games that he did participate In
he displayed all the earmarks of a real
big leaguer. think so well of those boys
that / am not going out after a veteran.
We are quite willing to take a chance
But aA said, that is the only possibility
Of q slip-up.
with the signing Of Frank Baker our
infteld is strong. and we've got some boys
there who can hit. I DO not figure on
shelving Peckinpaugh. as many appear
to believe. He is too good a fielder TO put
on the bench. If the others will only hit
the team can we'll afford to carry Peck
inpaugh along Just for his fielding At
that there were but two or three short
stops In the business who outhit him
last season."
What about your pitchers?"
MY main dependence, OF course will
be Fisher. Caldwell and Shawkey, but
we've got cullop. Russell. Mogridge,
Markle and lot OF stars from the minors
hanging around. By the way. do you
know that shawkey pitched some remark
able ball for us toward the end OF last
season? He was IN many a tough luck
game. but always pitched great ball, not
withstanding the fact that he was beaten
by small scores. He ought 10 be a big
help this coming season.
