and catching strength, that Is down
in the race so far 1t cannot even reach
Its own bootstraps?
The Reds are floundering in the
most astonishing slump that ever
struck a baseball club.
The Reds possess a cracker Jack out
field. They have one OF the best In
fields in baseball. They have one
sterling catcher and another who is an
average major Lacquer. They have
plenty OF pitchers.
The Reds are able to bust out from
seven to twelve and fifteen hits. in
many of their games. Rarely are they
held below five hits. Yet they are fall
ing to win ball games.
The trouble lies in stupid base run
ming and bad instructions from the
bench. The tactics Christy Mathew
son used in fighting tenaciously to the
bitter end last summer have been
thrown into the discard and Mathew
sin is working a hit-and-run combina-
tion with a base-stealing signal to
death. The result is that when his men
do get to first base they are soon VIC
Tins at second base or they are cut
down as they attempt to stretch their
efforts to extra bases.
1t must be sad and discouraging TO
the Cincinnati fans, who have waited
long and faithfully for some one to
come along and give them a pennant.
to see the puny efforts of a mighty
baseball club which might be lifted to
fame by proper methods.
However. the season has not ended.

Court In Jamesburg.

JAMESBURG, July 22-No comedy
ever staged had anything on the hear
ing given in borough hall Saturday
night. when Justice William e. Paxton
heard the trial between Abraham Ro-
senswig, of Newark. who was accused
by Landlord Abraham Ash. Of HON.
mans Station, with assault and bat
terry. The charges were modified ey
the justice after hearing mass OF
contradictory testimony to that of
common disorderly conduct and Ro-
senswig was fined $3.50. which he
gladly paid when informed by the JUS
tice that he had the opportunity OF ar
resting his landlord.
II seemed that Rosenswig had
rooms at the Ash boarding house and
some difficulty arose that caused Ash
to refuse Rosenswig a seat in his
wagon that met the train Saturday at
Cranbury Station. So insistent was
Rosenswig of becoming q passenger
that he few into Ash and tore his
clothing to bits and put a marker over
the left eye.
Ash was not idle while all this was
going on judging from the appear
ance of Rosenswig. That Ash was an
expert in the trench style of boxing,
la savant, was evidenced by large
cut on the shin bone and a badly cut
finger. said by. Rosenswig to have re-
suited from a bite from Ash while In
one of the numerous clinches.
Finally the court became such a
bedlum of witnesses who would rush
forward with all kinds of contradic-
tory testimony that so confused the
magistrate that he finally settled the
whole AFFAIR with the imposing Of the
fine.
The parties claimed that Ash had
received the full summer rent from
Rosenswig for the rooms at his home
and he was resortlng to these tactics
to drive him away. Rosenswig testi-
fed that he was without butter for five
weeks and also did not know the taste
of milk though the Ash farm had a
fine herd of milk producers.

LAW PROTECTS
WILD DUCKS
Also Other Migratory Birds
Urges Strict Enforcement of
Protective Measures.

In response to requests for informa-
ton concerning the Federal law for
the protection of wild ducks and
other migratory birds, the United
States Department of Agriculture
says:
It Is unlawful to capture or kill mi
gratory game birds anywhere in the
United States.
There is a widespread demand for
the enforcement of the present game
protective laws. and the department
Is OF the opinion that a continuance OF
these laws will insure not only the
safety of the breeding stock now held
In reserve, but will guarantee to
sportsmen the perpetuaton of their
shooting opportunities.
State game commissioners and
sportsmen in nearly every State re-
port that more wild fowl were killed
during the last open season than IN
any season for many years, and the
increase in the number of birds Is at
tributed to the abolition of spring
shooting under the operation of the
Federal migratory-bird regulations.
Beneficial TO Sportsmen-
The law has been very beneficial to
sportsmen as a food protective meas
ure, and under the continuance of ex-
isttng protection there Is every reason
to hope for an ever-increasing supply
OF fowl, which will greatly improve
shooting conditions in years to come.
The department appeals to the pa
triotism and true sportsmanship OF
all persons to cooperate with IL in
the enforcement of the Federal law
for the protection of migratory birds,
especially at this time when the prob
lem of conserving the food supply Is
taxing the ingenuity of the world.
It is gratifying to know that the
majority of sportsmen have observed
the Federal regulations. and this fact
has contributed largely to the success
full results accomplished. A sense OF
patriotic duty should impel everyone
to conserve this natural food asset.
