A NEEDED CHANGE or DATE.

When the president locked out con-
gress and went his way overseas the
situation suggested a needed reform.
This reform is represented in the bill
of Representative McArthus to set the
meeting day of new congresses on
March ), the day after Inauguration Of
the president While the change has
been needed and indicated for many
years delay, neglect and Indifference
and perhaps partisan advantage have
preveted it. The recent situation of
the country accumulated the need and
the demand from the people when they
realize that it can and should be done
should support the proposition and
bring it to completion in the coming
congress.
Why q congress elected in November
of an even year should not be seated
and set to work until the December of
the following year except upon presi-
dental call is not comprehensive in
this day when four days brings
congressman from San Francisco to
Washington. There might have been a
reason for it when Davy Crockett
tramped from Kentucky to the capital
but even at that thirteen months be-
tween election and activity seem I'M
necessarily extended time. But in this
day when policies change overnight
and Fiume becomes as important as
San Diego as affecting our purposes
and our relations with the world to
delay and postpone the expressed will
Of the people at the polls a year and a
month while any administration of any
! party may carry on in opposition and
| defiance to that will so expressed is
| plainly as unwise as Anticipated.

LEHGHS EASILY DEFEAT
LONE STARS IN GAME HERE

In a contest Sunday afternoon
which saw the Lead Works diamond
as its playground, The Lehighs pun
ished their opponents, the Lone Stars,
for being naughty to a score ofe9-2.
Jacobs, who was on the mound for
the Lehighs, held the Lone Stars hit
less up to the eighth inning but after
securing nine runs to his credit de-
cfded to let up a bit and give the Stars
a chance to enjoy the struggle. Fifteen
batters were called on three strikes.
Connors twirling for the losers was
not as effective as Jacobs, allowing the
Lehighs to pound the pellet for eleven
hits. He also made six swingers Whit
the breeze via the strike out path
The Lehigh Made full acquaintance
with the delivery of Connors' in the
sixth and seventh chapters ringing up
seven counters efore cling stopped.
Two runs a cen scored In h in
troductory inning.
In the "Stretch' stanZa there was
one out, and three Lehighs perchlng
restlessly on the cushions, when ia
cobs connected for a triple, scoring
the three men ahead of him. Jacobs
brought in by a single by Rush.
The game Sunday gives the Lehighs
the distinction. of winning fourteen

h|CHEL|NS PLAY
re- v. SATURDAY
Crack MIIioWn Team To Play
Return Game Won The First

Manager Bergen, of the Raritan
Copper Works team. in seeking out
worthy opponents for his combina-
ton, has booked the Michelins OF
Midtown for a return game this Sat-
urday. It will be remembered that
the Michelins were the first horse
hide tossers to defeat the Ingots this
season.
Their only other defeat up to pres
ent date was registered by the Pater-
son Independents.
The first game between the Mich
elins and the Ingots was staged at
Midtown and when the curtain roll
ed down ending the performances
the score stood 20 in the tiremen's
favor. Babe" 500 twirled a great
game, allowing but two hits. walked
one and struck out eleven. This Won
derful acting on the hill did not
avail him anything for an error by
Fullerton, who was playing shortstop
then, in the econd stanza was re-
sponsible for Herman and Dunn
bringing in two runs.
One of the s~trangest features of
the game was that neither side man
aged to get more than singles. Both
500 and Evans placed enough teas
ing salve" on the pill to keep that
leather hide in the close reach of the
felders. Willie Christophersen was
the main stick man. for the contest
securing two bingles. Just where WI
lie secured that mighty cudgel for
that affair is wondered for he has
fallen down a trifle in the last couple
of games. willie for h love of
mud dig up hat yellow hickory and
dust it off SO thai it can be put in
powerful use again in Saturdays con
test.)
Another strange feature, Although
not so strange as the word fully i'm
plies, but strange enough to show
that the Michelin boys were certain
ly on their fielding jobs, was the fact
hat the Copper Works crew secured
just twice as many hits as did the
Midtown nine.
In the final chapter the Ingots
came near securing h Sweets"
when they threw a big scare in he
camp of the tire makers. Two men
were on bases, one on the keystone
cushion and the other on the look in
corner. But they could not bring
them across.
But Michelins Took out for that
little bunch of wool situated just
midway between both ears as it is
just as safe as n lying out in NO
Mans Land with the Boche shoot
ing over night flares" 1t has been
said that one should not seek re-
venge, but the Ingots have thrown
that principal to the winds and have
REVENGE written all over their
c-ountenanceS.
Are we going to see that contest =?
Well, now I wonder. The only thing
that will keep the crowds away will
be if hat self-luminous orb which Is
placed in or near the center of our
system of worlds giving light and
heat to all the other planets, for
gets to be luminous.
The Michelin boys will be powder
ed and painted with the following
players: C. CRADLE, Dickinson, J..
Cradle, Herman, Evans, Dunn, c.
Hermann, Nixon, Rond.
1t is needless to say hat the local
make up will be as Of yore with
the strongest fertilization possible
presented.
