This means that Birmingham mer- chants should get busy figuring on what they wish sent here from New Orleans and Mobile by the Warrior river and what they desire to send ta Mobile and New Orleans on the down. river trip.
 Henry T. DeBardeleben, manager of the Warrior river transportation ser vice, has just returned from Jeffers on- ville, Ind, and St. Louis, and brings the. acceptable news of the trial trips.
 The tow boat Cordova will be ready for final acceptance by the Warrior river management by the 18th, and the management will at once proceed to start it on it's way south. There being a low stage of water the new craft will have to be pontooned to deep water.
 ITS MAIDEN TRIP
 The self-propeller, City of Birm;ng- ham, will begin to load at St. Louis on Tuesday of this week, with down. river cargo of miscellaneous frei eiynt for New Orleans. It is due to leave St. Louis on the 18th and is scheduled to arrive at New Orleans on the 10th It should be empty by the 18th, and will then be ready to take on cargo for lIo- bile, Tuscaloosa and Birmingham.
 This means that the Warrior
 river management is now in posi-
 tiOn to furnish up-rIver and down
 river transpOrtation service for the
 movement of miscellaneous freight.
 Birmingham, Mobile and Tusca-
 lOOSn hnVa inc nnnnrfnuity tn Shfn
 and receive miscellaneous freight
 at rates twenty per cent under the
 all-raiI rate if they use the river.
 The self propeller has a capacity of 1,50O tons and Birminsh ham wholesalers and jobbers are invited and requested to make immediate preparations to have goods shipped to them from New Orleans when the vessel is ready to leave on her maiden up- Warrior trip In addition to open space which is available for. the steel containers, the self-propeller has covered cargo space for 800 tons.
 Birmingham merchants can have such goods brought here from New Orleans at the 20 per cent freight saw ing, such as molasses, rice, sugar, cof fee, canned goods, anything, in fact in the way of merchandise. The vessel will also take on such cargo at Mobile as is ordered from that place.
 COTTON BY RIVER
 Then there is the downstream trip to make. Shippers are also in a posi- tion to save in that direction as well as the other. W. D. Nesbtt of the Warrant Warehouse Company has aI- ready promised a shipment of cotton to Mobile. A consignment of automo- bile trucks is also waiting on the first south bound trip of the City of Birmingham. It is believed that Bir- mingham merchants and jobbers will supply full cargo for the vessel, both coming and going.

Perth Amboy baseball club announce

cessful in his efforts to book any
or the three teams announced to the
fans at the game on last Sunday
afternoon, to appear here on next
Sunday. The teams announced We're

Mullen has arranged a double head
or, the first game to be between the
Lyceum A. C. of this city and the
Arrows of Piscataway. the winner
to play the Perth Amboys in the sec
ond contest.
The ability of the Lyceums Is well
known to local fans by their play
Ing In taking two games of a three
game series from the Tottenville
nine, their showing against Perth
Amboy in a previous match, and the
strong opposition furnished by this
team against numerous strong op-
ponents throughout the state.
Manager Snyder of the Lyceum
team has three capable pitchers to
rely upon, Milchick. Seplacky and
Zalari, with Buck" Nesly a capable
backstop to hold the moundsman.

margin. The P~iscataway team has
a number of capable ball tossers,
Harney's twIrling has been the talk
of the county this season, while the

INGOTS CLASH
WITH DU POINTS
Important Game viii be
Staged Saturday at Parin;
Apologize Likely to Pitch

Local baseball enthusiasts will ira
vel to Parlin on Saturday afternoon
to witness the Raritan Copper works
baseball team and the Dupont Pow
der works nine in action on the lat
tiers grounds in the second game of
an elimination series to decide the
industrial championship of the coun-
|ty. The Dupont outfit and the Mich
elm tireworkers from Midtown are
in the lead in this race both having
defeated the Copper workers in one
game, while each team has taken q
game from the other.
The Raritan Copper works nine
has been displaying q classy brand
of ball this season, but In the cham
pionship games were entirely off
form. 1t is believed the powder
workers will prove a stronger team
to overcome than the tiretown boys.
Manager Harry Apologize may
take the pitching duties in this game
on his OWE shoulders, and IL the star
right handler Is in any form, the Du-
pont outfit q count on a setback
in this game. Stevens who Is well
ACQUAINTED with local diamond fol-
lowers because of his service on the
baseball lot in this city, will probab-
ly draw the hurting assignment for
the home clan.
There is every indication that 1t
will be a record battle, and hat a
record crowd will be in attendance.
A victory for the Ingots in this game
will pu. Manager Applegate's boys
on a firm footing in their drive for
the county industrial honors.

.MATAWAN AND
KEYPORT PLAY
Labor Day Set for Big Game
--Series of 5 Games May
be Arranged Later.

The possibility Of a five game Ter
les between the representative teams
of Matawan and Keyport will be de-
cided on Labor Day when these two
teams viii clash on the Keyport
field. If the two teams appear evenly
matched a series will be arranged,
but it IS altogether likely that no
big leaguers will be used in the ser
les between the two teams this sea-
son.
Rivalry between Keyport and Ma
tawan in all branches of sport has
always been intense, and the rivalry
on the baseball lot last season be-
came so hot that big leaguers and
semi-pro stars yer secured. Mata-
wan secured Bancroft now with the
Giants, Meadows, Philadelphia
pitcher, Hoffman Yankee catcher
and a number of local stars to rep
resent their team, while Keyport Sc
cured Mamaux, Brooklyn twirler
and his battery mate Otto Miller,
Lewis, Yankee outfelder, Hickman,
former Brooklyn outfielder and a
number of other stars.
At the present time Keyport a a
team made up of semi-professional
stars, while Matawan although made
up mainly of boys from the home
burg, is making a good showing
against some OF the strongest teams

FIND THAT RATTLE

II the grease cups of the car
have not been neglected, one of
the main sources of trouble has
been avoided. However. many an
elusive rattle or squeak may come
from some other cause.
For instance, loose bolts The
fender may rattle. or the lamps
or the radiator. and often even
the engine may work loose and
give out a roaring. out-of-balance
sound. The cure for these Is to
keep all bolts and nuts tight. Il,
Also, watch the brake link rods.
Squeaks here are hard to find, but
a be detected by coasting down
hill with some n on the running
board.
The hood clip may squeak or
the windshield rattle, but most
elusive is the top. A squeak from
there Is like the croak OF a frog in
a swamp. It's there. ana then 1t
isn't. Oil the places where metals
touch.
The best preventive Is oiling
wherever metal parts touch.

LABOR DELEGATES
 INJECT NEW PLAN
 OF CITY PUBLICITY
Continued From Page l


 There were several changes in the constitution. Among these was a change in Article Fifteen, Section One, in which it is provided that the president may suspend or remove any officer with d majority vote of all the vice presidents.
 Another change was in Article Four, changing the number of vice presidents from five to seven. Ar ticle Seven, which defined the duties of the president was changed into seven sections, along the lines of the original article. Considerable stress was laid on a cooperation with the Farmers Union of this state. The date of the next conven- tion was changed from the first Mon- day in October to the first Monday in May. The per capita tax of ten cents per member except on women and apprentices, was discussed, some advocating 20 and 10 tax, but a clause was finally inserted assessing tax of $2 per capita annually for defense and publicity.
 With the exception of MT. Green, the Pine Bluff delegation returned home Friday night. The local dele gatioH was organized with Delegates Goshorn and Robert Malley,, chairman and secretary, respectively, and eight others.
