POLI'S WINS
Capital City Bunch Take Second
Game of Series Without Diff

Guilty.
Hartford, July ga crowd esti-
mated at 5000, the largest that ever
wendell it's way to Poll field, saw the
Fisk Red Tops of Chicopee go down
to defeat before the smuggling Poll
combination yesterday afternoon by
the count of II to 5. The locals
launched a wild batting procession in
the fifth inning and, by driving
across a cluster of eight runs, put the
game on ice and the best the Red
Tops could do was to slice the ad-
vantage of the locals to six runs. The
triumph of the locals enabled them
to even up the series, which now
stands one and one, and the Tipping
up of a coin will decide the place the
final game will be staged. If the
locals win the toss it is said an effort
will be made to play the rubber at
the Hartford grounds on Saturday
afternoon.

WHEN SINGS

Nearly everybody likes to sing. Those who can't sing like to
listen TO il. There is something inspiring and uplifting in the music
of n human voice that appeals to the deepest emotions. Singing Is a
recreation. a Joy, an outpouring of the spirit that is within one. 1t IS
an expression of ones better self that emphasizes the good and causes
10 forget the bad and unpleasant things in life.
Song is the language of happiness. The housewife busy with
her home duties, the man at work in the shop. the children in school
or at plav. the college boys out for a lark, the soldiers in camp-an
turn to song when their hearts ar. light and dull cares are cast away
Those who can't sing will hum a tune and those who can't even
carry a tune will hum anyway; they simply can help IL. IL Is 10
overlooking of a happy and contented mind.
There is something in song that soothes, Gains and anays fears.
From a mothers lullaby to the singing Of the doomed passengers on
q sinking ship, it is song that touches all. In training soldiers 10
the great war through which the world has just passed, singing was
m important feature. They sang in their camps and bllets, they sang
on the march and they sang as they went into battle. Singing, sing
ing always, it is the leveer, the one comfort that appeals to all alike.
But the real thrill that comes with singing is when many voices
are blended, particularly if your voice is one that is joined with the
others. I, fact, you can't help joining in when some mastery leader
starts a popular air and the audience takes it up swelling the chorus
until it would seem that the sound must reach to heaven. 1t just
comes naturally and you feel the better for having been present.
~ Tomorrow afternoon, In the high school auditorium, there is 60
ing to be just such singing as that. 1t is what is known as commun-
iy singing and has been spreading all over the country since the war
began, the people turning out in vast numbers to partake of the feast
of song. For several weeks past there have been what is known as
"community sings in the high school auditorium, but the attendance
has not been large. The leader, one Of the most inspiring that has
ever stood before IN audience, has announced that unless there is
more interest displayed in Perth Amboy, tomorrow will be his last
visit here. Those who have been present on former Sundays are most
enthusiastic about this Community sing" When other cities are TAX
ing it up as a permanent feature it would be little short OF a rehec-
ton on Perth Amboy to have it fail here.
Cnder tie leadership of Mr.. Spooner you will sing before you
know it, whether you have ever sung before or not. The first thing
you know he will have you whhtling the choruses to the popular
tirs -
Geel It's great. Try it tomorrow afternoon.

THAT CHRISTMAS VACATION

The EVENING NEWS hastens to correct a wrong impression
that it gave regarding the Christmas vacation in the schools in its
editorial yesterday. In commenting on the letter written by Grand
pop it was stated that the schools will open the day after Christmas.
This is not true. The schools will open the Monday following Christ
mas, if the present plans of the Board of Education are carried out.
But this is two days before New Years and breaks into the middle of
what is commonly called Christmas week" What "Grandpop had
in mind was the breaking up of the Christmas holidays for the chill
dren by having to go to school in the midst of festivities, as the real
Christmas celebration does not end until after the advent of the new
year, and the EVENING NEWS expressed itself of the same opinion
and still believes that that is he opinion of a great majority of
parents throughout the city.
Incidentally, it has come to the attention of the EVENING
NEWS that school teachers are being accused of having written the
letter that was published last night and that it was agreed that the
EVENING NEWS would use it as a basis for agitating a longer vaca-
ton for them. In justice to the teachers it should be understood that
the teachers have not made the slightest effort to secure publicity in
this matter and as far as the EVENING NEWS is concerned i It's not
aware of any agitation on the part of the teachers to have a longer
Christmas vacation. The letter signed ''Grandpop' which was pub
lshed yesterday was written by one of the prominent city officials
who did not care to gain too much notoriety in the matter, but whose
name can be learned by anyone interested enough to call at the
EVENING NEWS Office and inquire.

George Adams Dickens, kept the Ad-

William Dickens came to this country
about ten years ago. accompanied by
his wife, Emily Steanes, and his young
est daughter. Mr.. Dickens was seven
ty-fve years Of age, and possessed a
most interesting character, resembling
in some ways his great cousin. When
Charles Dickens was passing through
the little town Of Braunstone he
stopped at his cousins inn, and, mo-
ticing the little bright-eyed boy, patted
him on the back and quantity told him
to grow up to be a better man than his
father. Mr.. Dickens treasured that in
cident among the fondest memories Of
his life.

A COMMON COMPLAINT

In an editorial entitled "For A Better Trenton the Trenton
Times voices sentiments that appeal forcibly to Perth Amboy. 1.-TWO
important subjects in which the people of the city are chiefly con-
eerned at present, , the Times says, are better trolley services and a
quality of gas that will enable them to keep their homes properly il
Illuminated and to do their cooking ON gas ranges 1t seems that
Perth Amboy is not alone in these complaints.
incidentally, it might be remarked that the subject Glow to
Make Trenton a Better Business Town, >" was up for discussion at the
open forum of the membership council of the Chamber of Commerce
OF that city, and it was the remark made at that gathering that in
spred the Times to make its comment on the trolley service and the
gas. 1t IS interesting to note that at the last meeting of the Board of
Directors of the Perth Amboy Board of Trade it was decided to have
an open forum for members here when similar topics concerning this
clty may be taken up. 1t furnishes a means of expression and crys-
taihzes public opinion on matters pertaining to the upbuilding and de-
yelopment of the city.
