Charley Goodman VIII Meet
Cddmdn at Lotos Wed. Night

Charley Goodman who whipped
Johnny D'Auria at the Lotos ring last
week has been booked by Joe McNul-
ty the local promoter to meet Johnny
Cadman in n of the two eight-round
star bouts. Charley had an easy time
with the chubby lad he met last week
but judging by the exhibition that
Cadman put up, at the same fight, we
can safely predict a stormy session
for the local scrapper. Goodman has
been training hard for this fight and
had taken off considerable ~poundage.
Cadman, who made such q favorable
impression upon local fight ans at his
last fight q been itching to get into
q siar bout but McNulty held him off
until he made good In a semi-inal
which he did last week.. These men
will go eight rounds.
Kid Potty who will fight the other
eight-round bout with AL Cook of
Newark has been trying hard to get
rid of that excess five pounds which
he must leave behind before he can
enter the ring to meet Cook. Up to
date Potty still has a few pounds to
get rid of but he asserts that 1t will
be all rome Wednesday night when he
weighs in.

From Scratch Mark

Homer 8. Baker. the local come

victory Saturday night. He won the
1000 yard handicap run at the Unit
ed Work games, held under the
auspices of the Long Island Athleuc
Club at the Tw~enty-third Regiment
Armory, Brooklyn.
Baker showed a better effort than
on last Wednesday night when he de-
feated a crack field in a similar race
after over one year in retirement.
The one time international han
mile champion won by four yards In
the fast time of 2:23 AS. Jack Sell
lers of the New York A. C., who was
on the scratch mark with Baker, used
poor judgment that cost him first
place. He went to the front too soon
and tired when Baker challenged him
one lap and a half from home. Harry
Cunningham of the Paulist A. G. then
outsprinted him for secon place.

November IA, 1918.
To the Editor,
Perth Amboy Evening News,
Dear Sir:-
Having received a recent issue of
your paper which told of the sad
of Perth Amboy. 1 was surprised to
note that you had mentioned only his
fortunate parentage as his claim to
distinction.
Aside from being the son his father
Vincent Reidy was not without
achievement entirely incommensurate
with the short allotment of years that
were his. Although 1 had known him
since boyhood, my dealings with him
were only social, but e here he i'm
pressed one with his exceptional
ability as a leader of men.
One Of his best accomplishments
was the organization of the famous
Puritan A. G. Of Perth Amboy. He
managed the baseball team of this
club from it's inception and brought 1t
from a lot of sand lot boys up to
1t ranked with the best in AM
boy. Many times. when interest lag
ged and 1t looked as though the Puri-
tans would go on the rocks. Vincent
Reidy, single handed, would reawake
tire enthusiasm of the members and
bring the old club back once again
to safe r~oadstead.
His friends in the baseball and So
cial world of Amboy and vicinity
were almost uncountable, and 1 feel
certain that Perth Amboy has lost a
young man whose ability the Editor
has failed to recognize.
Hoping you will find space in your
valuable paper to publish these few
words of appreciation for a young
man who has made the supreme sac
rtfce, / am,
Very truly yours,
MICHAEL, j. DEEGAN.

English Plan for Baseball
League; Cricket Put Aside

LONDON, Nov. 1s:-It is proposed
in various sporting circles n England
to organize a baseball league to be
operated next spring and summer.
The game has made rapid strides
since the arrival of Canadian troops
here early in the war. and especially
since the coming of the Americans.
The game is now played by Eng
.lish teams in preference to cricket.
This is particularly true In barracks,
where the British soldiers have been
in constant contact with the Ameri-
cans.
1t Is pointed out that there will be
many Canadian and American SOL
diers In England during the coming
spring and summer, unable to return
to their homes in Canada and the
States. 1t is felt that the presence of
those players will give the game a
tremendous boost" here.

posal he seemed unable to make in per-
son, and had added: II shall not write
again until your answer comes" That
had been a fortnight ago.
His eyes caught a line In an adj
vertisement In a theatrical paper that
formed part Of the litter Of his desk.
"Consider silence a polite negative"
It ran. That was what he vas doing.
Mabel had not even taken the trouble
to answer.
He viciously thrust the paper into
the basket and caught up a letter. 1t
was that check for his tailor. He had
been positive he had mailed that; the
subsequent argument had resulted in
q transfer Of his patronage, yet here
was the check stifl inside. He was
rather glad that he had commenced
the cleaning up process.
There was another envelope under
the pile Of consular reports. He drew
II out and his face blanched. 1t was
the letter to Mabel. In some fash
ion It had slipped into the tangle on
the desk. He remembered he had
written a number Of other letters at
the same time. When he had done he
snapped q rubber band about them and
had given them to one Of the fellows
to take out.
What could she think Of himf He
had ceased his customary visits and
had not sven written. He slipped out
Of his house coat and into his dinner
Jacket. There was a telephone In the
lower hall. Perhaps Mabel had not
gone out.
It was her mother who answered.

Covington was cleaning up the desk.
The upstairs girl, answering his ring
for a larger waste basket. almost fell
down the back stairs In her hurry to
spread the news.
Covington had come to board at

At the office his desk was scrupu-
lousy neat, but the roll top In his sit
ting room, used for his personal cor
respondence. was piled high with pa
pers and books.
It might have continued so for an
other three years, but Covlngton was
restless. He found the evening pa
pers dull. the theatrical advertise
ments made no appeal to him. and
books were intolerable.
In HIS restless roaming around the
