TRIPLE TIE may Be
RESULT OF GAMES
In Factory League If Guggies
and Shot Win Today's
Battles.

Today will be big day for the fac
tory league teams, when the Raritan
Copper Works and United Lead
Works teams meet at the copper
works field. and the American Smelt-
inf Company's team meets the Roess-
Ter & Hasslacher Chemical nine. at
the lead works diamond. The games
will give the fans of the city a view
at baseball of the best variety, and
with ali the competitive rivalry lmeg-
Unable.
There is big chance that today's
games will mean a triple tie for first
place. This will be possible If the
Guggies defeat the Chemists and the
Leaders beat the Ingots. This will
make the first three teams tied at
four games won out of six played.
But the results are by no means
assured yet. The Guggies are not cer-
tain to beat the Chemists, and the
Ingots will probably be conscientious
objectors to being beat by the Shot.
Amboys Meet Alaskas.
Tomorrow at Stapleton, the Perth
Amboys will line up with the Alaskas,
on that teams home grounds. The
Alaskas are former champs of Staten
Island and put UP a clever game OF
ball.
Hurley. manager of the Amboys,
expects to send Jensen or Applegate
in to pitch in the game and has every
expectation that his men will be able
to lay up victory for a change.
The team will go to Morris Plains
on Wednesday to play the attendants
nine at the sanitarium there. The
team VIII play behind Jensen In that
game also, as he has been picked to
hurl for the team on that day. and the
rest of the team will be there in force.

FOOD PROF1TEERING
IS CAUSING UNREST
High Prices Responsible for
Feeling in England.

London. - Correspondence - In
dustrial unrest in England primarily
is due to the heavy increase in food
prices and to food profiteering, ac-
cording to the reports Of commissions
appointed to ascertain its cause. The
commissions find that all over the
country working men complain OF the
discomfort caused by initiation of the
prices of food.
The working of the military service
act and munitions of war act are also
contributory causes. Disproportion OF
wages between time and piece workers
dissatisfies most skilled tradesmen who
are generally employed on Tina and
who, while doing work of great inpor-
lance. receive only one third or one
fourth of the wages paid to the most
successful of unskill!ed men.
There is a difference of opinion re-
sarding liquor restrictions in the vari-
Gus commissions reports, some assert
ing that Il larger supply of good quail

others give less prominence to that
subject.

growth of unconstitutional trade union
