Mr.. Ramsey Seeks
Reelection

on the ground that he will support the
President
He dare not say that he won't, for
that would be his finish. BUT HE
WILL DO AS HIS PARTY CAUCUS
DICTATES.
Let us see what supporting the
President" as dictated by the Repub-
lican caucus is.
Before we got in President Wilson
urged Congress to prepare for proba-
BILE war by building merchant ma
rine. The Democratic house passed
the bill. The Senate Republicans
killed it by filibuster. At the follow
ing session of Congress the Democrats
in the house forced the bill over
against Republican opposition. One
hundred and sixty-one voted against
it, OF WHOM 100 WE'RE REPUB-
LICANS. 1t passed the Senate 80 to
81. TWENTY OF THOSE WHO
VOTED AGAINST 1T WE'RE REPUB-
LICANS. The caucus had so ordered.
Was that supporting the Presi-
dent?'
And do you realize that the delay of
eighteen months in passing that bill
came near losing the war; that when
the German drive came last spring we
had to borrow from the sore pressed
British and French, at the risk of their
starvation and collapse, ships where
with to land our boys in France in suf-
ficient numbers?
Mr. Ramsey has caucused before.
He will caucus again before his term
expires.
Bearing the above in mind and how
close partisan politics brought us to
the brink of defeat, can we take any
chances of defeat now? Give Mr.. Will
son the backing of his friends.

Homer Baker. the British middle
distance title holder. Is planning n
track comeback and win be seen In
action In a number of track meets to
be held in New York City during the
week of Nov. IL to IS for the benefit
of the United War Work Campaign.
Baker who has been living in Perth
Amboy for owe a year, was recog-
nized a few years back as one of the
fastest men on the running paths for
any of the middle distances.
Bakers best race is In the half mile
and thousand-yard runs, although he
has turned IN a pretty fast quarter
and mile time. Homer after cleaning
up in the United States at his favorito
race which Is the thousand, took a
trip to Europe where he competed In
England, France. Norway, Sweden,
Germany and Belgium. In England
the rangy American smashed the rec
ord for the thousand-yard run and
substituted one that has not been
touched yet. In the other countries
he defeated the best runners matched
against him and when he finally got
back to the United States again he
was primed for IN attempt at the
American record. His first start In
this country after his European clean
up was at Midtown where, after con-
ceding very liberal handicaps to a field
of crack runners, he moved them all
down and won easily. He~was not
pushed hard enough at that time to
enable him to exert himself enough to
hear the American record.

Only One Baseball Park
for Boston League Teams

BOSTON. Nov. 1:-when baseball
comes back to its own the Boston
American and Boston National League
ball clubs most likely will play at
Braves field, just as the two New
York clubs do business at the Polo
Grounds.
Harry Frazee, owner of the worlds
champions. and James A. Gaffney,
former owner of the Braves, who has
suddenly stepped back into some i'm
portant connection with the club. have
had a long conference.
Neither would make an Official
statement. but it is known they dis
cussed the plan to have both Boston
clubs use the same field in the future.
Fenway Park. home of the Ameri-
a League club, has increased In
value and President Frazee has fiat
terlng offers for the real estate, which
is worth more for commercial pur-
poses than the National League field.
Mr.. Gaffney has paid the treasure"
of the Braves s15.300 to help cover
interest u on club bonds. He did
this. he explained. to protect his own
interests in the team. Braves field
seats $1,000 people. $4,000 more than

The man who is q true sportsman
at heart, ready to accept things as
they come and willing to take a
chance even with the odds against
him is the man who makes a good
soldier and is the only kin who does.
However. it Is TO be noted in the
foregoing connection that neither bra
vado or foo~lhardiness Is a quality pos
sessed by a real sportsman. To rush
headlong into certain destruction with
out good and sufficient a Is tan
tamount to suicide n is worthy
neither of a soldier or q sportsman.
The man with so little regard for his
W life is hardly likely to put high
err value on the lives of other men
and is not the type of man desired
for army service In command of 9TH
ers.
For the man with sporting instinct
no branch of the army offers greater
attraction than the Motor Transport
Corps. In great degree the work Is
hazardous; necessarily so. but Ii Of

match, is one of the big events being
arranged to help the $40, 500, 600

paign this mon9
The Sports Committee has asked
the National Association of Amateur
Billiard Players to grant special dis
p~ensation to Shoemaker, so that this
match of champions can be played.
1t is practically certain that the per-
mission will be granted. inasmuch as
the amateur body is ready to permit
Huston to meet Hoppe in a series to
aid the fund.
A match between Taberski and
Shoemaker will attract a record gate.
Here are two of the greatest pocket
billiard players in the world. Shoe
maker has often expressed a wish to
meet Taberski. but this was impossi-

ranks. This he refuses to do. Now
he can have his wish satisfied with

November IA, 1918.
Dear Father and Mother:
Well l don't suppose there is
much use i'm my telling you the good
news, as you folks back in the
States no doubt knew it very near
ly as soon as we did. But isn't it
great to know the war is really
over at last? | can hardly realize
it yet as it sounds too good to be
true, and the Germans must have
been in a much worse condition
than we had any idea of. The fun
ny part of it was, we were aIll
ready Sunday night to go over the
top on the following morning, and
we were dug in along a river bank
and were just waiting for morning,
for the orders that would send
us over after the Dutchmen. At
three o'clock our lieutenant re-
ceived orders from the battalion
headquarters that the game was
called off and all we had to do was
to dig ourselves in and stay there
until further orders. Well you
might have thought that the men
would have got right out and
cheered and run around like crazy
men, but they didn't; they didn't
seem to realize the truth, and to
tell the truth it was hard for any
cne to realize it, for the Germans
kept shelling us clear up to the
last moment (11 o'clock and | was

and where you couldn't hear youi

guns firing, al was quiet as if you
were a hundred miles from the
lines, SO it gradually dawned OF
every one that there was some
truth in it after all, and the boys

real soon as l am always anxious

NEWARK HIGH OPENS
BASKETBALL SEASON
Loses to Wilmington, 1926

Accompanied by almost the en-
tire Senior class, Principal Morris
and a number of sltaunch hackers,
the Newark High School basket
ball team journeyed to Wilmington
on Friday afternoon and battled
with the strong High School team
of that city for the opening game
of the season.
Hope ran high during the first
half and the local lads led with
score of 1914. Even until the
final two minutes of the last half
Newark was ahead, but the Will
mington boys, Green and Minker
each Gagged two double pointers in
the first five minutes. Robinson,
Newark's forward Gagged two pert
ty field goals from the center of
the floor. After this Wilmington
frightened up and prevented am
other score, leaving the total 1926
in Wilmington's favor. The game
was exciting from start to finish
and gave the rooters a chance ito
use their lungs and their pennants
every minute of the hard fought
battle. The Newark team deserve
much credit for the plucky fight
they put up, for their preliminary
work and practice was carried on
without coaching other than the
few minutes of general instruction
that Principal Morris is able to
give. Armstrong; work at for
ward was especially good and
Robinson's was likewise quick and
sure.
The lineup was as follows:
