A move is nw on foot in Perth Amboy to purchase a tract known

verttng It into a country club. Ii order to accomplish this, finances are
and a committee Of those interested has been formed to plan for
the acquiring of this property
There s n o question but what this city is in need of a country

The property consists of 17 acres, the rolling country being just
for a golf course. The size OF the tract viii make possible al 10 hole
golf curse, which would be a rare treat for golfers in this vicinity At
a majority o. local golf Enthusiasts use either CoiohIa links ate olonta
pr the course OF the Suburban Country Club. near ROsele. both Of which,
however are only nine hole courses
Golf Is n game which is known to only a few in Perth Amboy owing
to the absence o a course in Oh near this city. 1t Is IF the most popular
business man who wishes to forget his office. store or factory after business
hours and spend SOM time in the open.
Not alone will al elaborate golf course be n OF tn attractions at
the proposed new country club but there will be laid out other athletic fields
which will appeal Ito those who are not Enthusiastic golf.
Lack of sufficient space In which to lay N courts in the city
has resulted in that sport suffering in Perth Amboy. 1t Is proposed
to lay u several tennis courts IN the Kelly tract thus making 1t possible
for many who have not heretofore had the opportunity. % engage in the
racquet game.
II present plans are carried out there will be q baseball diamond

percentage of the members Provisions will also be made for other out
doors games the amount OF ground available fol the sports limiting the
number and size IF these additional attractions.
Although the country club will nt be located within the city limits
the fact that Perth Amboy lei we're responsible Tor its formation and the
close proximity OF 1t to this city will make it almost the san a If 1t were on
the outskirts OF this city. The Kelly farm cal be reached easily in fifteen

from Riding yourself from the dis
ease. And because so many people
treat the pain, and not the disease
itself, is one reason why Rheuma-
tism increases in severity year
The most satisfactory remedy
for Rheumatism is S. S. S., because
it is one of the most thorough
blood purifiers known to medical
science. This fine old remedy
cleanses the blood of all impure
ties, and is a sure antidote to the
germs of Rheumatism. Being pure
ly vegetable, without a particle
of mineral or chemical in its COM
position, it works by eliminating
and forcing out of the blood all
impurities, acting as a tonic to the
entire system at the same time.
II has been used for more than
fifty years, and scores of sufferers
from Rheumatism give it unstinted
praise.
S. S. S. Is sold by druggists ev-
erywhere, and any Of them will
tell you that it is a thoroughly
honest and reliable old remedy.

secretary and treasurer of the old club
will organize q new club having a new
matchmaker. The new club will Sc

people plenty of fighting for their
money, Goldstein states.
It appears that Max Gibian. who
was made president OF the Amboy
Sporting Club had his I'LL of box
ing while Mr.. Goldstein Is Of the be-
lief that the fight fans in this city are
as ardent as the followers OF other
branches of sport.
Mr.. Goldstein stated yesterday af-
ternoon that II certain changes could
be made that he would be willing to
run a fight club and have Johnny Nc
AvOy. the well known Knights OF
Columbus secretary and referee, act
as the matchmaker for his club.
It remains 10 be seen whether Mr..
GoIdstein Will succeed In having the
necessary changes put through in a
satisfactory manner If the changes
are made. then tho local fight fans

Several scheduled travelling games
previous to today's game were post
poned on account OF rain.

scored on the home grounds against

since their last conflict, and a num-
Der of changes in the crimson and
white lineup will be enforced when the

Joe Muhlen's Perth Amboy base

Raritan Copper Works field next
Sunday afternoon after q lay-off of
one week due to the cold weather.
The opposition in Sundays game will
be furnished by the strong Marshall

The Newark combination Is known
throughout the state as one Of the
hardest hitting semi-professional
mines IN the east. Last Sunday the
strong Staten Island knights of Col

baseball team were forced to bow in
defeat to the Newark aggregation,
the Newburgh combination being de-
feated Sunday morning by a score of

outfit were trounced in the afternoon
by a score of 1871.
lie Pard is the leading pitcher for
the Marshall & Ball outfit this sea-

and slants should be a puzzle to the
Amboy heavy guns on Sunday. A
strong defensive and offensive team
has been secured to back this pitch

tearing through the semi-pro circles
like a streak of lightning. The Mar

a victory over the Amboyites would
add to their prestige.

how circulating the pangs of the
disease are. You know also, if
you have had rheumatism for any
length of time that there is no real
relief to be expected from the use
of liniments and lotions.
Rheumatism is a stubborn dis
ease, and its pangs and pains
cannot be wiped out as if by ma

torture and renders so many peo-
pie absolutely helpless, is a deep

by external, surface remedies.
Lotions, liniments and ointmcnts
applied to the surface may in
some cases deaden the pain for the
time being, bat until you attack the
disease at its foundation, You are
making no progress toward a

And takes the pitchers off the walls

He brings his horses in the hall, Just

And on the horses backs he puts a

And ma says it will be a week be-

And pa says Ii will be year before

THE paper-hangin'-m he takes a
chunk of rubber dough
And scrapes 1t round and round the

And when the dough is new, it is a
sort of pretty pink
But when the dough is old IL gets
to be as black as ink.
And il his mother cooks il after
that, you better bet,
Unless his family likes mud pies,
it's in his cupboard yet.
Then he butts right in the. kitchen
and he makes pail of paste
That looks as good as porridge and

That nobody couldn't stand him for

And I'd just like to take a brush
like paper-hangers do
And paint the paste all over things,
and then I'D take a chew.
And then I'd turn the family out and

And pretend I'd cut the ears OF any
