CITY SPORTS SCORN FOR
RUBES Il NOT WARRANTED

The scorn so cften expressed by
city sports, and occasionally by the
sporting writers OF big city papers
for the athletes Of smaller places and
country communities is based on
prejudice not warranted by the facts
in the case. The sophisticated city
fan sneers at the socalied bush
league forgetting that most OF the
diamond stars have come from the
village and the farm and have secured
their early training in the minor
circuits
The names Of only q few men who
have made baseball history within the

are all wrong. AIcGraw is a small

SUSPEND GREGA
To AWAIT TRIAL
Charges Will Come Before At
tention of Board of Alder
Men Tonight

Patrolman Stephen Grega was sus-
pended from duty on the police force
Saturday afternoon, under orders OF
Mayor Dorsey, to whom charges had
been referred, as drawn up by Chief
of Police p. J. Burke, alleging that
Grega had absented himself from duty
for two days without proper excuse.
Grega had been off duty Thursday
and Friday of last week. According
10 Chief Burke, he telephoned to
headquarters that his wife was III
and he asked to be permitted to stay
away from duty. He was told he could
do so, out that the time he remained
away would be taken from his vaca-
ton period. The chief maintains that
he later learned that Grega's wife was
we'll and that the patroiman had been
intoxicated. He ~thereupon drew up
the charges, copies of which were re-
ferred to the police committee of the
board and the mayor. The case will
come to the attention of the Board OF
Aldermen tonight. They will, in all
likelihood be referred to the police
committee for action.
Grega was due to report for duty
on Saturday afternoon at So'clock,
when he was suspended under the
mayors order.
The suspension depletes the fo1e
by two men, as Patrolman Frank
Brinsko resigned and quilt the force
last week.

CO. D ARRIVES
ON WEDNESDAY
No Reservation at Pier for Lo-
cal People More ParadeS
of JerSeymen

The transport Mexican, with sever
al companies of the S11th Infantry,
18th division, aboard is due to dock
at Hoboken on Wednesday.
The contingents aboard include
Companies ID TO NJ of the 311th. Per-
TN Amboy's interest naturally centers
about Company ID, commanded by
Captain Fleischman, which is largely
made up of Perth Amboy men.
Efforts were made this morning by
Mayor Dorsey to secure, through Ad-
Jutant General Gilkyson at Trenton,
reservation for a Perth Amboy delega-
ton to meet the boat when Il lands
at Hoboken, but Lieutenant Brown of
the adJutant generals office said that
owing to crowded conditions at Ho-
boken, combined with uncertainty as
TO what dock the boat will come in
at made il impossible to make the
reservation. He said that past exper-
fence has shown that when transports
are docking there is barely room
enough for the adjutant general and
his staff to get on the dock TO well
come the men.
e. X. Roos and others were plan
ming, IL the reservation could be made
to take a number of relatives TO the
dock to welcome the Company ID men
back to the shores of America. The
mayor made every effort to do this
and may lake steps this afternoon to
obtain the necessary permission
through Washington.
1t is probable hat the men, as soon
as they debark will go aboard trains to
take them to Camp Dix, where the
preliminaries will be gone through,
followed by rehabilitation and theii
return home.
VIII Allow More Parades.
TRENTON. May 19-There will be
more parallels of New Jersey home
coming troops, Adjutant General Gill
kyson announced today. in addition to
the demonstrations scheduled for to-
morrow afternoon.
The War Department has granted
the request made by former Governor
Edge last Friday, before retiring, for
additional parades in all instances,
but that of the S12th Infantry of the
18th Division. which has been with
held so far because the men are COM
ing in two sections, one at Hoboken
and the other at Philadelphia, which
would render parades of the entire
regiment doubtful. They were to be
held at Newark and Jersey City. Au-
thorfty has been given for the follow
ing parades: S11th Infantry. 18th Di-
vision at Trenton, 104th Et gineers at
Newark and Trenton: 18TH Field Ar
tillery. Atlantic City The tentitive date
for these demonstrations is about May
2Sth.

Several boys. it is thought. entered
a small store on upper State street
