this foolish talk re German efficiency.
The populations of England and
France combined are less than 100000

with the aid of Turkey and treach-
cry of Russia. What's the use Of
talking about that dreadful country
where even the Gar himself was
leagued against his own people. But
France and England, there's where
they make hero stuff All alone, no

industries, fighting squarely and
without an organized system of es-
pionage intended to disrupt all other
countries. held up the military giant

other fellows knew nothing about, and
tell ME, gentle or ungentle reader
where in the name of Peter and all
his sacred cohorts, where is this
thing called German efficiency? All
Germany has done is in France where
she treacherously grabbed the north
Iof it and has been unable to move.
At the Marine one month after the
war began handful of French and
,Englishmen drove back the Savages
and have held 'em gasping for breath
ever since. Hats off. readers. Hats
off. Stand at salute. England is our

you, wonderful German efficiency,
Bah! Men first, efficiency after that

the following reolutions were sent to
Senator Frelinghuysen:
"At the School of Methods of the
New Jersey Sunday School Associa-
ton the following resolution was
unanimously adopted by the three
hundred delegates present, represent
ing nine different states, at the morn
ing assembly this ninth day of July,
1913
"RESOLVED that it is the sense
of the body assembled, that it is most
expedient, if not imperative, that the
act prohibiting the manufacture and
sale Of all malt and spurious liquors
be passed and become law at the
earliest possible day, and we respec
fully request that our representa-
tives in Congress, now in session, put
forth their best endeavors to accom-
plish thi result"
Edward w. Cooper, President of
Board of Directors, School of Meth
DDS.
Joseph H. Wright, President State
Sunday School Association.
George %. Hall, Chairman of Ex-
ecutive Committee.
This was the 18th session of the
school. The fact was marked by an
address by Rev. E. Morris Ferguson,
D. D., founder of the school, one by
Mrs. ]. w. Barnes, identified with the
school from the first. At the inter-
esting School Alumni Social on
Thursday evening there was present
ed in a dramatic way the blackboard
exercises conducted at the school in
1896 which was the starting point of
the International Graded Lessons.
The influence of this school was not
only initial, but constant and power
full in the development of these les
sons.
Another event of the School Social
was the contribution of Thrift Stamps
to $4,000 for the School
Fund. This will be in
by grateful students of other
years.
In several of the hotels groups of
students gathered in numbers from
20 to 45 and enjoyed each other
greatly. In addition there were
school functions besides the social
mentioned above, including the boat
ride, marsh-mallow roast, reception
and an auto ride over the Rumson
road participated inby nearly 80
people.

You will note that twenty out OF

outside of New Jersey including
Missouri and California sent pupils

war necessities at home.
One prime object of the School of

NEW FIND
AMONG LIGHTWEIGHTS

They have found a new ring sensa-
ton i'm Philadelphia in the person Of
a newsboy fighter who recently moved
out of the feather-weight division to
the lightweight list. His name is
Lew Tender. and he is generally
spoken OF as one man who will some
day give Benny Leonard a scrap.
Johnny Tillman, the MINNEAPOLIS
welter-weight, is particularly stuck
on this new boy.
Lew Tender is one Of the real sem
satlons and you are going to hear a
lot about him before many more
months" said Tillman. He is clever
and hard hitter. and from what /
have seen OF him he appears to have
everything that will eventually make
him a leader in his DIVISION
Tender started out while a news
boy as a performer among the I22-
Founders. Then he grew heavier and
now weighs somewhere around l29 TO
130 pounds.

for his wallop, let it be said that his
four last fights were clean-cut knock

Pete Hartley. He has a terrific kick
in his left and uses IL straight to the

DERBY ENTRIES
CLASSY ARRAY
Greatest Three-year-olds in

The classiest array Of colts that

Kentucky Derby to be held at

This race. over a distance Of q
mile and a half. always brings out
the great three-year-olds, but the
field entered this year rivals that ol
any former year.
In training at Churchill Downs
and at Douglas Park. the other
Louisville running track. some OF
these colts have shown early egi-
dence of great speed. When II IL
considered that these colts are being
pointed for the Derby and have not

CALL OF ALEX
HALTS RECORD
Being Drafted Into Big
Game Kills Chances to
Beat Matty's S Record.

The heaviest blow that has been
struck baseball fell when Grover
Cleveland Alexander was drafted for
the army.
Alexander is one OF the greatest
pitchers in the game today. His
pitching would have put the Cubs In
first or second place in the National
League race. Without Alexander the
Cubs will do well to finish in the first
division.
But Alexander's call means some
thing more than this, both to base
ball as a sport and to Alexander as
a pitcher. 1t means that Alex cannot
hope to set a new pitching record, a
record of having won thirty or more
games a season for four seasons.
The record of three thirty-game sea-
sons is now held jointly by Alexander
and Mathewson. They are exactly
tied with record OF ninety-four
games won in three consecutive years.
In 1893 Matty won thirty games, the
following year ne won thIrty-three
and in 1905 he won thirty-one games
In 1915 Alexander won thirty-one
games. in 1916 thirty-thTee and last
year thirty-onc.
Alexander had not hoped to escape
entering the army. He's not that type.
His call to the army leaves but one
regret in AleNander's mind and that
Is that he will not have q chance to
beat Mathewson's record and stand
out as the pitcher of all time who
N.rFr,
than three seasons. Here's the way
Alex feels about 1t.
I'm human and money means as
much TO me as it does TO anyone.
But even though I'm making more
money than most fellows Of my age,
l haven't a regret at entering the
army. But do regret not being able
to have a try at Matty's record.
l believe / would be as good this year
as l was last. / believe that / could
win my thirty games this year and
set record which would stand for
years.
I'm not Dragging, but there have
only been two Of us who could win
thirty games a year for three seasons
and I'm rather proud I'm one of them,
only would like TO so it one better.
There's practically no chance of
me doing it after this year. A pitcher
who is out of the game for a year
seldom comes back with the same
stun as he had before. and even il l
should only be out of the game for a
year I couldn's hope TO be as effective
as the records show ] have been dur
ing the last three seasons
But that's neither here nor there.
Uncle sam needs fighters worse than
he needs pitchers and I'm glad TO do
my bit"

LOSES TO NAVY
Middies Grab Off Big End
Of Pitching Duel from
Georgetown.

Annapolis. Nd. April 20--Largeiy as
a result of the effective pitching of

the ball tossers OF Georgetown Uni
versity went down to defeat hefore
the Annapolis Midshipmen IN their an
nual contests on Worden Field this
afternoon. 4 to !.
Georgetown is an aid rival OF the
navy on the diamond, and the spirit
of this minifested itself throughout
the game, which was played on n
rather heavy field, due to rain which
fell at intermittent times this morning
and several times during the game.
Until a few years ago Georgetown,
known here as the "Sluggers, always
managed to take the measure OF he
Middies in baseball quite handily, Lut
the merit of the teams in recent sea-
sons has been about on a par.
The game was virtually a pitchers
duel. There was no heavy hitting and
the honors easily were with the navy
twirler. as the HiIltoppers come ted
for only two safe bingles. G. F.nne-
gan was on the mound for the varsity
lads and the Middies connected safely
on six occasions. and they came
mostly OF lne llmely Oruer. fuftnet-
more. the navy hurler retired eleven
batsmen via the air route.
In spite of the bad weather conGi-
tions there was some sharp fielding at
times. Particularly notable was the
work of Miller at shortstop for navy.
who made two pretty stops. and ON
each occasion retired the ruaner at
first.

MALONE PACKS AWAY
A SLASHING WALLOP

Jock Malone, welter-weight, is said
TO be one of the heaviest hitters in
his class in fifteen years. Ills recent
ring performances seem to indicate it,
too.
Two great scraps to his credit
which stamp him as a man of re-
markable hitting ability were those
with Eddie Moha and Young Denny,
Moha nearly died from the effects Of
the walloping he got from Malone,
while Denny tok n knockout.
The Moha victory indicates that
Jock has a wallop that is consider
ably heavier than Joe Egan's, for he
cleaned the Bohemia star in much
more decisive style than did the Bos-
ton man.
But the victory over Denny makes
Malone stand out sharply. as a punch-
er. Not only is Denny good hitter
himself. but he is exceptionally clever
and ring general of unusual ability.
Yet JOCK laid him low with a single
punch to the midsection. This was an
astonishing result to attain, since
Denny was known to be a whale

TO BLUEPRINT
JESS FOR BOUT
Fulton Plans to Know VIII
lards Ability Before
Battle July 4.

Chicago, April 2o-Now that Jess
Willard and Fred Fulton are signed
up for their battle July for the
heavyweight championship, talk and
prediction regarding the scrap
naturally turns to the capabilities. the
weaknesses, etc. OF the two men. In
talking this over the other day with
Mike Collins, who is plotting the des-
tinies Of Fulton in this row, Mike was
asked how he and Fred were going to
get a line on Jess.
And from Mikes answer II develop
ed that the theatrical and boxing
tours he and Fred make before the
fight are only incidentals to what they
are really out for. In short, they are
going out into the sticks to get infOr-
nation on the weaknesses and pet
aversions and also the strong points
OF the champion. They are going into
some of Willard's old stamping
grounds in the West and Northwest
and dig up that which they desire.
Collins was asked about q plan. IL
any. to fight Willard.
That's a mighty hard thing to say"
said Mike. The plan of battle care
fully laid out today may not be worth
a whoop tomorrow. But can tell you
this. we are going to blueprint this
big fellow from the top of his head
to the soles OF his feet before the day
Of battle We are going to find out
everything there is to know about
him. We will find out his weak
points. IL he has any. and tab up all
the good ones as we pick them up
from time TO time.
This information will be put on a
big blueprint and we will make
careful study OF it for long time be-
fore the contest. BY the time the date
OF the mill rolls around We will have
1t pretty we'll figured out. Yes. sir.
that's just what l mean-a blueprint
showing Willard just as your archi-
tect would show you a blueprint OF a
house he is building for you.
We've done this with other fighters
we felt a little in doubt about and
found it a mighty good thing. can
recommend it to any fighter who is
going into an important match against
an opponent that figures to be as good
as he is himself"
And then Collins told Of the gerat
confidence Fulton has in this coming
battle. Fred thinks Jess is a trife
too old and hasn't fought enough re-
Gently to be at his best. He doesn't
think Willard is looking particularly
tit just now.
Fulton and Collins expect to reap
a harvest in dollars and publicity in
their trip West. They intend playing
one-night stands in Colorado. New
Mexico, Texas. Arizona. California
and Washington. and then move east
by way of Minnesota.
