South Ambo1 Hard Hit.

SOUtn AmDQr ttdTu 6nIs
SOUTH AMBOY. July 23.-South
Amboy last night had the appearance
of having been visited by a cloud
burst The heavy downpour which
come over the city did considerable
damage.
Ruin and wreckage was seen about
everywhere, and in some instances
: the force OF the stream rushing in
the streets was SO strong that the
man-hole covers of the sewers were
lifted of and carried away. The
large cobble stones in the cutters
were on many streets washed away.
Broadway from John street to
Augusta street IA damaged the
most. The first floors of the post
office and numerous other buildings
were filled with water as high as
eight inches to a-foot. Every cellar
and basement was filed with water
to the ceiling. The commuters coming
from the trains about this time, ook
/. OF their shoes and stockings n
waded through the flood to get home.
Others were carried on the backs of
stronger men to places that were
high and dry.
Deep wash-outs were in evidence
on every street in the city and red
lights were hung out by the street
uepdTLI1euI AuIOLlODleS Wcfo plCh-
ing their way through the ruins last
night on very low speed. The sand
that had been washed down through
the streets settled on Broadway and
in some places was two feet high.
Sand from lower Second street
was washed down to the railroad
tracks and a freight train bound for
Red Bank came along and ran into
the pile that had accumulated and
as a result the cow-catcher on the
engine, which Is held in place by five
or six one inch bolts vas snapped
OF. The crew of the train were there
late last night, digging the wheels
clear of the sand. This tied up the
traffic on the south bound track as
we'll as the north-bound tracks as the
trains were forced to use but the one
track.
The hole-in-the-wall was almost
completely filled with sand and
Rreckage. The electric current was
shut of and the city was in dark
ness.

Proctor's played to untenanted seats.
 Wing became a fairly proficient fghter-good enough to be called '"The Yellow PeriP' even though Bat Nelson used to taught at the men ton of An Wings name. Little Wing was flattered by the attention he re- ceived from every fight crowd, at being the progenitor of the "no- tickee-n -no-shirtie'' witticisms of the ringside wags. They rooted when Wing landed a blow and they laughed when he missed. He was a favorite and the sensation tickled his vanity nightly.

Wing was unaware of the trick that had been perpetrated on him until flung back on his heels into his corner again after his mad dasf had taken in the slack His op- ponent descended upon him, and see ing Wing practically helpless pro- ceeded to belabor him, ecstatical1y. Wing was badly mussed up before the referee interfered and was only able to obtain a draw at the con clusion of the bout.
 It was a sad blow to the little OrientaFs pride. He couldn't under stand how such a low trick could be played upon him by friends" Wing was very sensitive about the incl dent and it was months after before he fought again. When he did Wings coiffure, a becoming ring coil atop his cramum, was both practical and becoming.

Within a few feet from the plate Martin dove under the catcher's mitt with the run that gave the Americans the game and made Martin the hero of the old ball game.

to be Marine. You see, a Ma rine lives on and near the water so much that he's web footed, and where there's salt water there are fish. And in tropical waters there are fish such as fish stories are made o1-dsh and turtles that would make New York chef weep for joy.
 And game! How would it be if this morning we had started on Q hunting leave way up into China in search of deer or beare Or sup pose we were guarding Uncle Sam's big ditch at Panama and got leave to go out and pot a jaguar to make somebody 1eop- ard skin coat?
 Home Life of the Marines
 No Marine ever seems to stay in one place long enough to get rusty. When he is not just off for for eign ports or just coming home from service abroad, he is on one of the big battleships which are always on the move from one port to another. Today he may be in Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, and the next bound for France or Con- stantfnople, or goodness knows where.
 And when he's on duty in the States he may be at any one of g number of interesting places Quantico, the station just out of Washington; the League Island Navy Yard. at Philadelphia: the Brooklyn Navy Yard. at New York; or he may be at San Diego, in sunny California, or Mare Island. in San Francisco Bay.
 Work Time for the Marine
 The Marines life is not all play. There's work to be done But it's a mans work and interesting.
 There are short, snappy drills that teach a man to be on his toes There are setting-up exercises that give a man a chest like a bar rel. There are hikes, short ones at first and gradually increasing, that teach man to walk on his own two feet, and like it And there's rifle practice. But that isn't work-that's sport. There is wireless telegraphy and signal work to be learned. There is training in scouting and wood craft. Maybe you didn't know that every Marine is a regular Robinson Crusoe when it comes to making himself comfortable in a wild country.
 There is artillery practice and SO1AlC%dlIS OI rowing ana seamanship. For a Marine is a sailor as well as a soldier. But it's good work-a1l of it.
 In addition to giving a. man physical fitness and mental alert ness, the Marine Corps gives plenty of opportunity for learning a trade that will mean big money for him after his discharge. Thou sands of ex-Marines have inme- diately been taken into weli-pay- ing jobs in civil life as aviators. airplane mechanics, gas engine me chanics. chauffeurs, wireless oper- ators, printers, barbers, ball players, chefs, bakers, electricians, fore men. etc, etc
 An honorable discharge after two, three or four years service in the Marines is the best letter of recommendation any man can have.
 The Marine Corps wants only GOOD men, but they don't have tO be giants, just ordinarily healthy. Don't say, CT can't pass the test,'' until you have tried. The doctors are kindly and courteous. Give them a chance to look you over. Send for booklet.
