BASEBALL REVOLUTION
To FOLLOW THE WAR

boot off the field any player, no mat
ter how good. II he can't show that
he's done his bit for Uncle SAINT"
Evers' opinion was born of his sur
vey of conditions here, of the spirit
of the men in the American army, of
their continued interest in the game
as exhibited in their own games here.
and Of their candidly expressed APP
prevail of the suspension of profess
sional baseball in the states for the
duration of the war.
Every regiment has its baseball
team and in Paris the troops stationed
in or near the capital league sea-
son-the Paris league-which ended
late in August. The season ended
started, the others having been COM
PEELED to withdraw because of troop
movements.
At the outset French army COM
manders sent men to watch the games
with the view of introducing base
ball to French soldiers. The results
are meage however. During the lat
ter part of August. after Evers' ar
rival he has been touring the French
rival, at the official invitation OF Gen.
eral Vidal. He was furnished a staff
"materiel de Notwithstanding bats
and balls-and in various sectors he
laid put diamonds. showed the poilus
how the game was played and picked
teams and umpired games. BY the
time Evers left French camps early
in September to give baseball a boost
among the American soldiers, the
French were enthralled with base
ball.
In French newspapers Evers is
hailed as Monsieur Jeannot Evers.

The stage Is all set for the gala
boxing show at the Lotos tonight.
The main bout will bring together
Matty Herbert, the local bantam and
Joe Forgione of Newark for eight
rounds. Matty has been training in
d~ustriously for this mill, having licked
the master, Mickey belmont, he will
now show the scholar that he is no
better than his tutor. Herbert will
enter the ring tonight full of conf
dence in himself and will be backed
up by an equally confident crowd of
followers. The Newark lad is also
In tip-top condition and from all ac-
: counts Will give Matty a hard go. He
may also surprise local fight fans but
this remains to be seen. Mickey Del
mont has infused his entire knowl-
edge of a boxing skill into his pro-
tege and states sthat Matty will take
q bad beating tonight.
Victor Richie. who fought such a
tame battle with Johnny hurry at
Morgan Monday night, will meet Yam
kee Delaney In the six-round semi
final bout. II Richie puts up an OK
hibition similar to that bout, all we
predict for him is curtains. Yankee
is a battler from the word go and
from all indications has a stormy
session up his sleeve for the staller
Richie.
i the opening preliminary of the
evening Young Egmore and Kid Leo
of Staten Island will swap punches
for four rounds. This is the second
encounter between these boys n rs
their fsrmer meeting was a draw, a
good battle can he looked forward
to.
There will be another preliminary
between a Carteret youngster and
some good boy from Newark.

WESTC0TT OUT
FOR LA MONTE
Attorney Genera Believes He Is
Right Man for Senate

Y INiklil NAdIt AOE OChANC
TRENTON, Sept. 1S:-Attorney
General John w. Wescott issued a
statement today advising all Demo-
Gratis to vote at the primary for
George NJ. LaMonte for the Demo-
cratic nomination for United States
senator and basing his advice on five
reasons. The first of these, Wescott
said, relied upon the fact that La
Monte had not sought office but mad
decided to become a candidate only
under great pressure n with the
understanding hat he would not
have 10 sacrifice his war work in the
contest. The second reason is that
LaMonte. both through his sons and
himself. is giving active service to the
government. ACTIONS speak louder
than Words says Wescot. That the
candidate Is an ardent Wilson sup
porter: is eminently qualified for the
great office of senator and that he is
no political camouheur," are the
other reasons which Mr.. Wescott
gives for his decision to support La
Monte.

Hamilton Certeis is the only doctos

two are great friends. I do nope
DADDY viii not tell Tony Curt about
a Lorimer heir-just yet.
1t,s nlain that Daddy is set or mar

teis. That may be because the "
ZEN have close business as well as
professional relations.
And Chrys, at least, is In Lowell l
Know. because Chrys who walks az
lonely as a star most of the time, ana
never gets a mite excited o any
body except the dead, who converse
by mean of ouija boards-Chrys mas
taken to talking about Certeis!
Last night she came to my room
and we knitted a race toeing on
socks-our last pairs for the big e
Cross drive. Chrys pretended tnaI
she wanted to congratulate me on the
possibility that 1 would add another
link to the Lorimer chain of life but
1 really think she only wanted to find
out what I know about Tony Curt
| Between us, we certainly complied
a most exciting n romantic biogra-
ply for that fascinating, mysterious
and irresistible gentleman.
Chrys says that Certeis, although
raised in America, was born in Spaia-
AS a child he travelled up and down
the earth with his parents, which ex-
plains why he speaks seven languages
more or less perfectly. 1t was during
his boyhcod that his family lived
here. They had a fine house near
the Lorimer's, and Tony Curt went to
American schools.
But instead of going to an Ameri-
can college, he was sent to h Uni
versity of Bonn and there. Chrys
AYERS, he associated with the gay
crowd which surrounded the Crown
Prince of Germany!
All which l thought most astound-
ing, but Chrys hints that Certeis is
himself of noble birth-that probably
he Is descended from an illegitimate
line of royalty, part Spanish and part
Austrian. He has a Spanish duke for
an uncle-but whether the relation
ship is maternal or paternal. Chrys
Is not quite clear.
I asked her to get out her ouija
board and put the question straight
to the dear departed kings of both
lines, but she couldn't-because in
telling her story she had lost count OF
her stitches and she had to ravel out
inches of the toe of that sock. SO L

kings-though she says knitting de-
stroys her psychic qualities. / felt
like telling her that almost any kind
of useful work would doubtless do
the same thing.
Certeis took medical lectures in
Edinburgh. Paris and Vienna and he
studied chemistry in Berlin. He came
back here the very month the war
broke in 1914.
Jim Jr. says that Certeis has more
knowledge of alcohol and T. N. 7.
and t%urpentine and explosives than a
medical man requires in his ordinary
practice. Just why Certeis should
spend his life in time of war Doctor
ing a few rich men-who really need
nothing but exercises more than I
can understand. But then, neither
can / understand a lot OF other
things, for instance; WHY do Isnot
