HANDLING CHRISTMAS NAIL

The prompt and efficient in
which the Christmas mai was handled
in this city is most creditable to Post
master White and his staff. Perhaps
the most pleasing feature from the
public's point of view was the facilities
afforded those desiring to send away
packages The long wearisome line
waiting for a turn at the window was
absent this year. Instead, weighers
were stationed In the lobby, where
packages were weighed so that when
a person approached the window the
exact amount of postage required was
known and the necessary stamps were
soon secured.
Besides this, incoming mai was
handled in record time in spite of the
great increase In volume. The postal
? employees put in a great deal of over
time and worked with an enthusiasm
that is worthy of a much better salary
than they are getting.
The public, too, had its share in
facilitating the handling of the

PROBLEMS.

These Christmas bells remind us,
as they ring everywhere, of good
old days behind us. when problems
didn't scare; our problems then
were smaller, and wouldn't fetch
a dollar; we took them by the
collar and slugged them with a
chair. In those old times twas
seldom that problems came our
way; in high esteem we held 'em,
and watched the blamed things
play; u dull routine was broken
when problems from Hoboken
blew in, with sign and token that
they had come to stay. Then life
was calm and peaceful, we work
ed, and made no whine, and had a
large Valise of scads put down in
brine; we did the tasks allotted, the
flies we blithely swatted, and to
the hay we trotted at twenty after
nine. One day was like another,
we kept Jul divers spheres, and no
man skinned his brother, as do the
gazing; the old days seem amazing,
while present times are raising
their racket In u ears. But now
our problems vex us, and neve lose
their grip; each day some new one
wrecks us, and smites US, thigh and
hip; and so were backward glanc-
ing, we wish we might be prancing
to those old times enhancing
when problems raised no zip.

Christmas mail. Packages, 1t is re-
ported, were tied more securely than
in former years, addresses were more
plainly written and the mailing was
done earlier. No doubt the people,
realizing the chaotic condition of the
postal service under the Burleson
regime were not taking any more
chances than were necessary.
Taxing 1t all in all, the Christmas
mail was well handled. 1t is the first

Y. NJ. C. Opens Season Against
The Knights of st. Peter, Oct. IS

AT the regular weekly practice of
the Y. M. G. basketball team many
topics of Importance were brought
up by Manager Hornsby.
The regular peppery practice was
undertaken by Liddle, Glochau, Hib-
bard, Copeland, Hornsby and Hand
erhan, and these practices are put
tng the Y. M. c. boys in great shape.
Manager Hornsby is receiving re-
quests from quite a few basketball
players who are DESTROYS of securing
@ game with his fast quintet. Roy
Lehman, formerly a member of the
Z. M, c.. and Is known as "Dickie"
and Speed" by his many followers,
Is now on a vacation in the Middle
West, and writes Austin that he will
be ready to get into the harness as
soon as the conductor yells Perth
Amboy." He is expeced back very
shortly, and he will be a big help to
the "Y" boys.
Another star in the person of Ray
Handerhan Is looking for a game
with the Y. M. G. team and this boy,
who has been making good with the
Riverside and Amboy teams, would
also be a very big help to Hornsby's
cohorts. Ray and Bob are capable
of handling the floor and their OPP
ponents in a rough once

Inside Dope On The
Worlds Series Battle
BIZ Special CORRESPONDENT.

By Special Correspondent.
CHICAGO, oct. Oscar Happy"
Felsch, who plays center field for the
White Sox against the Cincinnati
Reds, is the holder of a new record
for major league center helders. On
June 20, 1919, while the White Sox
were playing Cleveland, Happy &C
cepted twelve chances without a slip.
Eleven Of his chances were flies and
one an assist.
Jimmy Slagle, while playing right
field for the Chicago Nationals, in
1897, made twelve putouts, and this
is the record for all outfelders, as
far as put-outs are concerned.
In 1877, Schafer, who played right
field for the Braves, had seven put
puts and four assists and Hornung,
left fielder for the same club, gathered
ten put-outS and one assist in 1881.
O'Brien of the old Metropolitan, had
eleven put-outs in 1887, but made an
error. Dick Harley Of the Cardinals,
in 1918, had eleven put-outs and
Topsy Hartsel, while with the Cubs in
1906, grabbed off the same number.
Eighty dollars for baseballs for each
game played in the Worlds seriesl
That sounds big, but nevertheless,
that is approximately what it will cost
to furnish the principal item for the
baseball classic this year.
AS in other things, the high cost
has hit baseballs, which now bring
$40 q dozen. 1t Is estimated foul
dozen balls will be used in each game.
On this basis, If it is decided to play
nine games in the series, and it be-
comes necessary to run the entire
string, before the winner is decided,
1t will cost close to $1,000 for balls
alone.
The reason that so many are used Is
because balls. fouled into the stands
or crowd are seldom returned. Dur
ing an ordinary game, however, most
OF the balls which leave the playing
field. find their way back.
Manufacturers blame increased
prices paid for materials and the high
costgof labor for the present price.
Horsehide used in covering the base
balls has Increased In cost during the
past three years about ESQ pei cent.
The wool yarn has jumped zoo per
cent. in three years. The official ball
of the National League, Is made with
a cork center. The price of this cork
has doubled and a special thread used
has increased almost three times.
The cork center ball was patented
August 81, 1909. It weighs 5 ounces
and Is 8 inches in circumference.
This ball will be used in all games
played in the National League bail
park during the series. Another ball,
similarly made, and adopted by the
American League, will be used in all
in the junior league park.

will test the strength of the Amboy
fellows.
The first home game Of the season
will be announced shortly and Nam
ager Peterson is trying to secure a
strong team from Long Branch or
the Michelins from Midtown to come
here for that game.
To add interest to their home
games Manager Hornsby a been
induced by Miss Ruth Macan and
Miss Doris Willsey to make arrange
ments so that a female quintet can
play the preliminary to the Y. NJ. Q.
team every Wednesday night.
These female basketball tossers
have starred with the Perth Amboy
high school varsity in the past, and
they believe that they a build a
strong quintet to uphold the feminine
side of Perth Amboy in athletics.
Five members have already been
secured for this team and practice
sessions will shortly be announced.
Those who have pledged their will
ingness to play on the team are
Ruth and Elizabeth Macan, Doris
Willsey, Ethel Lewis and Sally Mi
ehaels. All of these young ladies
have performed on quintets playing
under the name of the Perth Amboy
high school and have made good
showings.
Challenges from all sta female
basketball teams can be sent to Miss
