who catches as long as 1 give the
signals

The players have been discussing
the ball now used in the American
League and majority of them agree
with George Mcbride, who claims
that the hard hitting all over the
circuit is due more to a livelier sphere
than to weak pitching. Mac says 1t
stands to reason that the ball is much
livelier from the fact that the gen.
eral run of batters are all up around
the 800 mark and the sluggers are
simply killing the ball.
Ruth hit the ball surely as hard
last year as he does this season. But
he has made several drives in his
collection of seventeen homers that
have been from 80 to 200 feet farther
than anything credited to him in
breaking Buck Freemans record. Mr..
Shibe may claim that the ball is the
same as last season, but the boys
who handle it should be given credit
for some knowledge. and I'll wager
that 80 per cent of the players believe
the same as l do" said Mac.

mander N. w. Pierce and Vice

upon the subject was obtained and
in view of the fact that there is con-
siderable work attached to procuring

that the local post, at least, take over
all responsibility of obtaining the
medals for those who qualify here.
Through the kindness of Harry
Wolf. of the Maple Realty Co., the
old Chamber of Commerce Offices in
the Board of Trade building on
Smith street have been taken over
as the temporary headquarters. All
ex-service men of the city are urged
to apply for their medals which are
both beautifully cast and an ap-
propriate insignia of the part each
man played in the war. 1t is the
idea of the committee here to receive
all the applications at the new Of
fees and thereafter all the respons-
ibility is cast on the shoulders OF
the post which will take care of the
procuring and distribution.
1t is being planned to have a
celebration of an elaborate nature

START STREET
REPAIRS SOON
Six City Streets to be Partly
Resurfaced and Repaired,
Commencing This Week.

The work of repairing Smith and
State streets will be started the lat
ter part of this week, according to in
formation given out today by Nor
gan F. Larsen, city engineer. Other
streets to be repaired are Center,
Gordon, Division and Park Ave. 1t
was estimated by Engineer Larson
that the work, which will cost about
$4,000. will be completed in about
six weeks. At the end of that time
the engineer says that the streets of
the city will be in first class condi-
ton.
Only the streets which are Of as
phals block or warrenite construc-
tion will be repaired under the plans
which the department is working on
at the present time. Those of wood
block construction will have to be re-
paired in a different manner. For
this reason the wood block part of
Smith street will undergo a different
form of repairs that that section
which is built of asphalt blocks.
The repairs on the asphalt pave
ment will be made with an asphalt
dressing similar to that laid in New
Brunswick over the old asphalt block
streets, this dressing will be placed in
the holes and rolled smooth with a
steam roller. The dressing will an1y
be placed where the blocks are bad
ly worn and not placed over the
blocks that are still in good condi-
ton. The trolley company has ap-
proved this system OF repairing the
streets and will adopt the same for
the center of their tracks. which will
be put down at the company's ex-
pense.
To tear up the streets and replace
them entirely at this time would
cost, the engineer said. about $780,

places would put the streets into first
