OF the efforts of those who vainly try
to give mankind peace and welfare,

To-day the spirit Of independence
has invaded all minds and leads them
to rebellion Today there is no shame
in seeking amusements amid the
griefs and sorrows of others, and there
Is no limit TO the dissipation Of wealth

society has attempted to set itself
above God, passing from liberty to toll

from division to conflict, to ostracism
of God.

The St. Anthony Junior baseball
team, who claim to be the junior
champions of Middlesex county, en-
loved a successful season which was
their first in what is expected to be q
long career. The classy combination
hal represented Perth Amboy In the
county race, won tWenty-four games,
lost seven and tied one, which is q
remarkable record for a junior team.
The schedule which was compiled
by the manager, Edward Doyle, was
one of the longest ever planned by a
Junior manager, and the team often
played two or three games over a
Weekend. Toward the end of the
season and during the season a num-
Der Of light senior teams were book
ed, and the showing which the junior
team made speaks credibly for their
ability.
The Boy Scouts of South Amboy
furnished the real opposition for the
county championship. The Lehighs
were able contenderS in the local race
and were defeated in three interest
ing games.
The team appointed Charles
Brownmiller captain at the begin
ming of the season, and the outfit
worked with Dummy" and the man
ager in a fine manner. Brownmiller
did some pitching during the season,
played a great game at shortstop at
all times and lead the batters
throughout the season with an aver
age of 1884.
Art Young, the sterling southpaw
of the st. Anthony team, carried most
of the pitching burden for the victor
aous nine, and was called on twenty
two times during the season to twirl
his tribe to victory, and responded
successfully sixteen times and turned
in one tie game.
