testimony complmcutary t. sims, Civ
en- by Secretary Daniels before con-
grcssional ommittecs, during CON
sidcration OF bill to make Sims and
Benson full adniras.
Every word that / have said of
Admiral Sims ability and brilliancy
in certain lines is true" said Mr.
Daniels, but if had known what
has developed since, ! should not have
recommended that he be made an ad-
miral for life.
Il wish to give some reasons why
would not make this recommcnda-
ton now. one reason is a statement
made recently in the house OF repre-
scntatives by Brynes in which he said
that while in Paris in October, 1918
he talked to Admiral Sims and Sims
praised the British army highly, de-
clared that an armistice would have
To be signed because Pershng had
been unable to break through the
German line due to "a breakdown in
the American service Of transporta-
ton and greatly minimized the serv-
ice Of the American navy in the war.
Aftcrward, Representative Brynes said
he visited Pershing's headquarters
and learned that Sims charge was
entirely uufounded. \ few days al
terward Representative Byrnes re.
pcated Admiral Sims remarks to .
high American official without saying
who made them and received the re
ply. That is pure British propaganda
and there is only one officer in the
American service who could have said
such things and be is Rear admiral
William = Sims
Statements contained In a series Of
magazine articles written hy Admiral
Sims and published recently were Civ
en- by Secretary Daniels as another
reason why he would not now recon-
mend Rear Admiral Sims for admiral.
"rhc third reason / should not
have recommended him is the book he
has written aud published" Secretary
Daniels continued.

FREEDOM OF THE PRESS
lN[nskngee Mines. DemocrnN

tMuskogee Times DemocraD
The American Newspaper Publish
ers Association is opposing certain
features OF the anti.sedition bill now
pending before cdngress. Section G
of this bill would apparently author
ize federal officials to refuse mailing
privileges TO a newspaper without n
hearing, provided the official finds
some statement which in his opinion
falls within the statute No review
by any magistrate or court is pro
vided.
It is not easy to frame a law in
general terms, that will define just
where legitimate criticism ends. and
preaching violence begins a fair
minded man could make the distinc-
ton in any particular case. But the
law might he used by politicians to
suppress newspapers that were too
aggressive in denunciation of their
schemes.
1t would seem that no such judg-
m,uts should be passed by any one
man without review. There should
NE an appeal TO some higher authority
capable Of interpreting the statute in
bro1d.ninded way.
The country is anxious to suppress
appeals TO riot and uprisings. But
the ha2y vaporirgs OF inflamed un-
dcrstaudingS, which might mean
dozen different things, are not al
ways to be taken seriously. Some
times you only spread and advertise
them by giving them n weight they
do not have IN other minds. Any
way man has n right to advocate
changes in the government, unless
he Is melting to some violation OF
law.

freedom Of the press is very pre-
cious thing. It was won after cen
turtles of struggle with kings and
emperors A country that denied this
freedom has just plunged the world
into destruction and misery. Vast
structures Of tyranny and great
abuses can be built up where the
press is muzzled.

kEASbEY MADE
A GOOD RECORD
Field Club Won Twelve Out of
Eighteen Games Played
Averages Announced.
Special Correspondent.

BY Special Correspondent.
KEASBEY, Oct. with the clos
ing of the 1920 baseball season, the
local representative baseball team
again finds itself among the top
notchers for the past season. The
Keasbey +. c. established another
banner record on the diamond as in
former years.
In summing up the seasons record.
Keasbey played a total of eighteen
games, of which number they won
twelve and lost six, giving them an
average of .667.
Although the locals did not appear
as strong as in the 1919 season, games
were played with the best senior
teams in this vicinity. Only two
shutouts were scored against the team,
one by the Landings, of New Bruns-
wick, and the other by the Amboys.
OF the six games lost, four were lost
by a margin OF one run and two
necesSitated extra innings.
This seasons game with the AM
boys was the worst defeat the Keas-
beyites ever received at the hands
of the representative team in Perth
Amboy.
Three shutout games were won by
the locals. Woodbridge, South River
and Camp Raritan.
Larsen, the Keasbey's backstop,
led the team in hitting with an
average of 1929 for the season.
Katrausky, Mandel and Pfeiffer are
also in the three hundred class.
The batting averages follow:

TWO BIC CANES
TOMORROW
Perth Amboys viii Play Dou-
BILE Header Against Totem
vile and Newark Mines.

The Perth Amboy Baseball Club
is scheduled TO play another set of
important games on the Raritan
Copper Works field tomorrow after
noon. In the opening game of the
double-header the representative
Tottenville team will furnish the
opposition, while the Ironsides OF
Newark are scheduled TO play the
second game of the season here in
the closing event.
Victory i'm First
Manager Mullen's combination is
DESTROYS of defeating the Tottenville
tribe above all other outfits because
of the keen rivalry between Amboy
and Tottenville teams in a gone
by, and the showing that the island
team has been making this year.
Art Romer, the veteran southpaw
who has been pivot of the team this
year, is twirling a wonderful brand
of ball and should continue his ef-
fectiveness. The Tottenville team
will be strengthened.
Mike 500 is likely to be the AM
boy choice for this game, and as
Mickey has n victory to his
credit over the Hilker outfit, he
should go into the game with plenty
of confidence. Manager Mullen has
three men in his catching depart
ment, Bader, the old standby: Sill
yer, the fast rising local youngster,
and Grassick, the Railway backstop,
all three men are showing up well
behind the bat and are there with
the sick.
The local representative team
with the addition of James has a
crackerjack mfield. The Dupont
speed boy is a wonder at first. Egan
is showing up well at second, Stin-
son is playing the game of his life
at short, and Regain at third has
shown his ability this year to star
at any position, and also is having
a great year at bat.
Mickey Loeser is expected to be
back in left field for Amboy in to-
morrow's game, while Romer and
Grassick will patrol the other two
outfield positions.
Applegate in Second
. A victory over the IronSides of
Newark in the second game of the
double-header would even the score
between these two teams, because OF
the Newark teams ga victory over
the locals earlier in the season.
Harry Applegate will be sen in
against the Newark team and he
will try his best to set them back
and prevent a second victory.

EXPECT No NEW
SERIES RECORDS
Baseball Parks in Which ne
Games Will be Played viii
Not Allow New Records.

NEW YORK, Oct. ..-Notwith-
standing the general increase in base
bali throughout the country it is UNI
likely that in the coming series to
decide the worlds championship that
new records will be made in attend
ance for a single game or for the
series. The reason for this is that
the capacity of the parks where the
games are to be played is insufficient
to erase from the record books the
top notch figures that have been
established in previous years.
Ebbets field, the home grounds OF
the Brooklyn club of the National
League. has been tested to its capacf-
ty in one worlds series. that of 1916,
and while 1t Is possible for between
$4,000 and $4,000 to crowd into the
stands and pavilions. the largest of
fical attendance there in the 1916
series "a 21,662. The parks of the
contending clubs for the American
League pennant show no possibilities
for new attendance figures for a
single game. or the likelihood of a
new record for the series when paired
with the comparatively small capac-
ity of Ebbets field. The seating
capacity of the park at Cleveland Is
Apr ximately 20,700. while that of
the Chicago White Sox is In the
neighborhood of $4,000. The largest
number that has attended a worlds
series game at the grounds OF the
White Sox was 34.379, the Official
attendance at the fifth game of the
series between the White Sox and
Cincinnati last year.
