Ends Meeting at DonneIlson with
Speech That is Cheered Loud
Enough to be Heard by
the Kaiser.
NO COUNTRY IS LIKE THIS
Believes In Fighting for America Be-
cause It Is the Best Country on
Earth and Welcomed
Germans.

Trembling with emotion, a man Of
strong German type who spoke in the
broken language Of the fatherland,
rose to his feet in an audience in
Donnellson Saturday night and vowed
his loyalty to the United States gov
ernment
This was the way it happened:
A. Hollingsworth of Keokuk had
just made a speech on the old school
grounds in Donnellson. The patriotic
meeting was held to raise money for
the Red Cross and for the Young Mems
Christian association Mr.. Holdings
worth had shown in his talk that the
position America is now in as opposed
to Germany was inevitable.
During the generation following
the year 1S4S the Germans came to
America by the millions and Germany
lost her best and most enlightened
citizens" said Mr.. Hollingsworth.
"These emigrants became loyal citi-
zens in America and whole regiments
of them fought in the civil war. From
the time this element came to America
Germany's history has been constant
ly toward autocratic government.
The audience was cheering the
speech when Mr.. Hollingsworth sat
down. Then the reaction was noted.
This man of such pronounced German
type asked If he could say few words.
The chairman gave consent. Deeply
moved, this man testified his gratitude
to the United States government in
these words:
What America Does for Them.
81 want to say to the people here
that have listened to every word that
the speaker has said tonight. l want
to say this. that there were four or
five things he said that | know to be
true 1 was born in Germany, sub
iect of the king of Bavaria. could
not stand conditions which existed
there and came to the United States
in 1864 / renowned my allegiance
to the king of Bavaria and for four
months was man without country.
then came to America and became
a citizen in the greatest country on
earth There is no other like it. In
America we men Of German birth
found what we had been looking for
and when we fight for America we
know we are fighting for country
which has been just to us and for the
best government which ever existed.
Il feel it is my duty to say that I
endorse every word the speaker has
said for much of it has represented
my own personal experience. l am
only too glad to testify to my feeling
of gratitude to America for what she
has done for me-"
And then the audience cheered this
American patriot until it sounded loud
enough to be heard in Potsdam.

II Season Continues, All Signs

The decline of the Giants became
most apparent when Benny Kauff was
called into the army and John Nc
Graw began to experiment with his
successor. First Thorpe was used and
then Without. George Burns was
transferred from left field to right field
and the newest members of the regu-
lar garden crew were sent to patrol
the sun field. Larry Doyle was out
of the game, and a youngster, Sticking,
was sent to take his place.
However, the Giants were travelling
along at a good speed until IT became
necessary to remove Kauff from the
lineup.
In view of these circumstances. can
It be said that the Cubs will suffer the
same fate when Bill Killefer and
Charley Hollocher r taken from the
Cubs7 Each is fully as important to
the Cubs as the men lost to the Giants
were to that club.
Killefer is called by many critics the
best catcher in the National League.
There Is no question that Hollocher is
rapidly reaching the premier position
IN the shortfeld among National
Leaguers.
To replace Hollooher would be prac-
tically impossible, for, aside from
Fred Merkle. he Is the most valuable
hitter the Cubs possess. In addition

Second Game of Season for
Shea's abbott "Com-
ing Home"

Baseball fans OF Tottenville will be
reminded once more tomorrow that
the sport still exists. The once great
hotbed of semi-pro baseball is doing
a Rip Van Wrinkle this season but
every once in a while Manager Cor
nelius Shea breaks forth with the an
nouncement of q game. His second
announcement this season comes for
the game tomorrow on I. A. c. Oval.
The affair ought to develop into
more or less of a reception for VIII
liam L. Abbott, a former member of
the T. A. c. who is bringing down
the opposition, the South Sides of
Newark. The South Sides compose a
fast semi-pro aggregation that has
been travelling at considerable clip
this year. This act coupled with the
necessity of scraping together a team
for the I. A. c., ought TO make mat
tiers quite interesting for the home
contingent at least.
The first game of the season was
an interesting pitchers duel. Tomor-
rows game is slated to get under way
at $3.50 o'clock.

WHEELER'S MANAGER
COMESB BACK At MULLEN

If the Ingots think they have fin
ished with the Wheeler Condensers
game of last Saturday. they've got an
other guess coming. This mornings
mail brought two missives-one from
Manager H. G. Manner, Jr., of the
Wheelers and another from Manager
r. Graeme of the Roosevelt Juniors,
also a spectator at the clash which
broke up the game last Saturday in
the second inning.
Nannen, in concluding his letter,
makes it plain hat he is in favor OF
a t~hreekRame series with the Ingots
providing neutral grounds are secured.
Also he. suggests the Singer Field in
Elizabeth, and O. $3.50 side bet, and
an American or National League um-
pire. In short, Manner wants to talks
every precaution to have straight
baseball. not Marquis of Queensbury
or Parliamentary rules govern future
play between the Wheelers and In
gots.
Nannen Toes not make 1t clear, how
ever, whether his challenge extends
the privilege to Harry Applegate, cap
tain of the Ingots to strengthen his
team with local talent so as to make
1t an All-Perth Amboy nine with the
idea of meeting the Wheelers who are
generally regarded as an All-Roosevelt
representative aggregation. Apologize
recently, in responding to the original
Roosevelt challenge demanded this
privilege.
While the Ingots are the local rep
resentative nine this season there Is
some talent here and there that could
strengthen 1t in some degree. Prob
ably when Applegate gets Strengthened
on this point, he will hustle AROUND
to the Sporting Editors sanctum with
the required $3.50. Originally the side
bet talk was of $500 dimensions.
Returning to Nannen's letter-the
Roosevelt manager takes a slap at
the Ingots' hospitality and points to
the far different kind of reception &C.
corded the Ingots when they visited
Roosevelt. Manner discusses the
play which broke up the game, at
some length. His letter followsi
