ALL-START TEAM
TO PLAY HERE
Holman, Kaufman and Hand
erhan Brothers to Play With
AlI-Stars

Out of the ten players representing
the Blue Ribbons and West Sides has
finally developed a team that will
hereafter be known as the Amboy
All-Stars. The quintet which was de-
cided upon Immediately after the
Blue Ribbon-West Side game Monday
night will be a team that basketball
fans will back with their undivided
loyalty. In the lineup that 1zzy KEEL
sey has picked to represent the team.
that he will promote and manage in
the future, are players that are well
known to local fandom. Nat Holman
will be the mainstay on the team and
with his coaching the locals will In a
short time have as wonderful and
smooth a team as the Y. NJ. H. A.
team had last year 1t was only I'M
der Mats experienced tutorship that
the Y. NJ. II. A. attained the perfec-
ton that made them the champion
team they were. Marty Kaufman, as
usual. will be Holman's side kick and
will soon be playing the same clever
game he did last year.
With an eye toward making this
team the best yet, Kelsey has secured
the Handerhan brothers. With these
two cracker-jack players on the same
side with Nat Holman and Marty
Kaufman there seems to be no rea-
son why lnlS dkBItbdtloH ShOdto hOt
clean up everything they encounter.
Ray proved his ability with the Riv-
ersides two years g when merely q
stripping he was injected Into the
strong, rough and tumble Rivies and
stacked up against men twice his size
but before the season was over
Handy" was recognized as the best
little basketball player in the county.
He has been playing since then with
mediocre teams In his city but 1t is
with fast company that Ray has been
longing &c travel and he will get that
chance with the All-Stars. Bob Han
derhan is also a fast man on the
court and ranks high as a guard,
Under. Mats clever coaching both OF
these boys will improve greatly and
prove a valuable asset to the team.
The fifth man will be Stretch
Burke, formerly of the Crescents.
Burke will be given a chance to dis
play his wares in fast company and
If he proves equal to the task will be
given a permanent berth. Billy
Wilentz. "'Yi" Hubbard, Charley
Cohen and Freddy Glochau will be
held in store and sooner or later
given a chance.
This all-star collection VIII start
the ball a-rolling next Tuesday right
when they meet the basketball team
representing Camp Raritan. The
camp has several ex-collcge stars
and expect to give the All-Stars a
beating their first time out. This
game will be played at the Palace
Hall court Tuesday night.

pitchers ma come and pitchers
may go, but 1 go on forever"
Walter johnson, premier pitcher
of the American league, might thus
paraphrase the words of Tennyson's
Brook.
For the 1918 American league
pitching records show that Walter in
his twelfth year In the majors was
the leading pitcher of the league.
Faber led johnson, but worked In
parts of only eleven games.
That johnson is still the master
pitcher is proven by the fact that in
the season just past he allowed but
an average of 1.2S earned runs per
game. while in his previous eleven
years of major league ball his aver
age was les earned runs per game.
Perth Amboy evening news., 1918-12-05

The record also shows Walter In
his usual role of leading strikeout
king, striking out thirty-three more
men than his nearest competitor.
He still possesses the same won-
derful control as in the past.
In the eleven years previous to
1918 he pitched 3.4S3 innings, allow
ing $50 bases on balls for an average
of Pts per inning. while in 1918 he
pitched 325 innings. giving 20 bases
on balls for the same average of .215
per inning.
He also holds the 1918 record for
overtime struggles. engaging in hf-
teen, eight of which he won.
Baseball fans will be glad that the
end of Walter's big league career is
still I'm the distant future.

MUCH WHEAT RECOVERED
Thousands Of Acres Harvested by
French After Drive.

NEW YORK. Nov. 50.-More than
1880 acres Of wheat were recovered
from German occupied territory in
France by the British and French
armies in the great offensive that nd
ed the war. says the New York Fed
cral Food Board.

TO nave materially contributed to the
food crisis which helped to bring Ger
many TO her knees. This wheat was
harvested chiefly by the French.
The work of nearly 1900 men was
required in the harvesting. The bind
ing machines and threshing machines
were supplied by the French Office of
Agricultural Reconstruction and when
the harvesting was completed the ma
chimes were sold at reduced prices TO
farmers or groups OF farmers who had
been victims OF the war.

war office statement announces.
The Franco-American attack on the
Champagne front is the first Allied

to the Hindenburg line, from Rheims
to Laon.
The drive northward in the Cham
payne threatens the communication
lines in the rear of the Hindenburg
defense system.
While the length of the front is
not disclosed it probably extends
good part of the distance from Rheims
to Verdun or Briond. For some dis
lance east of Rheims the terrain is
fairly level and open and an advance
ofsome distance here would outfiank
Laon, and possibly st. Quentin.

BACK TO BENSON'S
COTTON STALK AGAIN

This cotton stalk was not raised in
Crisp county but in Marion county in
the year 1873 and grew in some ashes
that were thrown in the garden for
the simple reason that people
living in the county in those
days always used ashes in t he
garden and hardly knew what a
Garbage can was) and this stalk Of
cotton did have about 500 matured
bolls but this was not at all unreason-
able when you compare it to the wash
pot that Judge Fleming had, which
was according to his statement, about
seven feet and four inches across the
top and according to the way pots
were made in those days, it must have
jeen or 61a feet deep and this pot
was used so the Judge said for the
purpose of making soap and of
course the pot had old time hook
which when standing upright, would
make them stand about feet and
7irches in the air.
now it is not up to me just how
the Judge lifted this pot about the
yard but as | have always known him
to be reputable gentleman up to
this time l will let the dear readers

Near the Coast.

Experts employed by the British
government have already been at work
devising schemes for salving cargOes
from sunken vessels round the coasts
of the United Kingdom, France, and
Belgium when the war is over.
Many thousands Of tons of food
stuffs in Theoretically sealed vessels
are likely to be reclaimed with com.
paratiyely little difficulty. Timed
meats, preserved fruits, and concea'
tratcd fOodstuffs in vast quantities
will assuredly be salved. The British
authorities have not been so remlss
in anticipating the salvage of sunken
cargoes as the public may imagine,
Many commodities of an edible nature
have been encased in tallow or white
lead TO withstand the action of the
water Most of the tea which has
been arriving in that country for some
time has been doubly secured against
the action of salt water by means Of
double lead castings.
