FIRST EDITORIAL BY
 JOSEPH L. PEASE
Continued from page ?

To do this, no pains will be spared to merit and make strong the claims of our journal upon the confidence and support of the public, which will be accomplished when we attain a high standard of journalism, and this shall be our aim.
 In taking upon ourself the res possibility of conducting such sheet as we design the Connecticut Western News shall be we think we fully realize the magnitude of the undertaking. An editorial friend to whom we appealed for advice con- cerning the project, and one whom we thought knew more of our abil- ity to manage such an enterprise than we could even guess at, advised US to Ego ahead"; yet with this flat tory he comforted us, by coupling with his remarks this information: |: "The moment you put on the edi- torial harness, you become the veri- est slave that ever wore letters. Peace and rest you have none, but day and night think, listen and study" With this, from one whose editorial experience has made his opinion second to none, it is plainly evident that we enter the arena, not without some idea of the task before us. Blu we must have help. We are fully conscious of the importance of being sustained, not only in patron age, but by occasionally receiving an encouraging word, or look of ap- proval. We shall labor long and hard to merit it, but this we must have as it is so necessary to aid US in making this enterprise such T sue cess as we are determined 1t shall be. To the friends of this project who, irrespective of party, creed or sect, have so generously come forward with their aid and patronage, we can only promise to use our best endea- vors to make the journal worthy of their efforts in our behalf, coupled with our sincere thanks.
 One word to the editorial frater- nity into whose ranks we most res pectfully ask admission. We shall try to conduct ourself with proper decorum, and endeavor to become a worthy member. We ask you to re- ceive us kindly, and deal with us gently. To all, we are, very truly,
 Your most obedient servant,

Care of Palms.
E. E. L..

Palms are hardy things which may be grown in rooms for years with good results. Keep them near the window so that they may get plenty of light. The best soil for them consists of three parts of fibrous loam, one part each of leaf mold and decayed loam, and a tenth of coarse sand. The or dinary watering rules don't apply to them; they should only be watered when the pot rings hollow under the hand, and at no other time. During mild showers, stand them out in the rain for an hour or two, as this cleans and freshens them and opens the pores of the leaves.

This city will again have a box
ing club this winter, judging from
the plan of Hugo Goldstein, a local
sportsman, who is arranging to run
fights in the Auditorium on New
Brunswick avenue, starting the first
week after Labor Day. Announce
ment will be made in the near
ture on which night of the week the
club will conduct their shows.
Mr.. Goldstein. who was connected
with a fight club in this city about a
year or so ago, has announced that
the new club will offer real bouts.
He is of the belief that a fight club
can be supported in this city provid-
ing the fans are given the goods.
A man well known in boxing circles,
a first class matchmaker, will be in
charge of the matchmaking for the
new club, and Hugh Boyle of Eliza
beth, will aid in arranging bouts.
Thursday was the night on which
fight clubs have conducted their
shows in this city in the past and it
is likely that the bouts arranged
| by the new club will be run on the
same night. Popular prices will be
charged for admission to the shows.
Mr.. Goldstein announces.
There have been a number of at
tempts to make the fight game a
success in this city during the past
several years. Joe McNulty one of
this city's leading fight enthusiasts,
made a success of his undertaking in
Palace hall, when he was in charge
of the Lotus Club. This club later

GAME CANCELLED
Due to Amboy Nine Playing
at Midtown Interest in
Midtown Clash

The second game of a series be-
tween the Dupont Powder works
nine of Parlin and the Raritan Cop
per Works team of this city, sched-
uled to be played on the Raritan
Copper Works field Saturday after
noon, has been cancelled due to the
fact that the Perth Amboy repre-
sentative team is scheduled to play
the first games of a series with the
Michelin nine of Midtown on the lat
ter's grounds.
The Ingots were defeated in the
first game of the series by the Du-
pont team, and due to the fact that
many of his regular players will per-
form with Manager Mullen's team
in the county championship game,
Manager Poulsen deemed it wise to
cancel his booking, and play the
Parlinites with his regular lineup.
The Ingots' manager is of the belief
that his team will beat the Dupont
nine, when these teams meet again.
Amboy Will Avenge Defeat.
The Perth Amboy team, on which
Jim Romer, Andy Mazurek, Johnny
Fullerton and Meyer Larson, foul
of the Roessler e. Hasslacher play
ers perform, will try to avenge the
defeat of the chemical company
team, when they cross bats with the
Michelin team on Saturday after
noon. A large following will accom-
pany the Amboy team to Midtown
for this game. Apologize, Milchick
or Wood will do the finging in this
contest, with the former being the
most probable choice to- start n

he equaled the worlds record of
2:06k for three-year-old trotting
geldings.
Soon after that he was bought by
Gleason for $4,000.
A year later he won the Transyl-

lished a new worlds record for a

He did his first mile in 2:0S. the
second in 2:02%. and the third In

During his career he has lost but

His winnings for 1920 were $26,-

Plan To Conduct
Boxing Bouts In City
During Coming Winter

Joined with a new organization in
the Auditorium, but the fans did not
turn out as strong as was expected.
Mr.. Goldstein is of the belief that
IL a boxing club in this city or n
place else is managed right and the
bouts are arranged so that the fans
will be given plenty of action. STALL
ing barred, the game will be con-
Quoted successfully.
Mr.. Goldstein states that he will
give all good local boys and boys In
this vicinity plenty of chance to
show their worth at his club. There
are a number of good fighters in this
city and vicinity and there are many
fans who would rather turn out and
root for a couple of good fighters
from this vicinity than a champ
and a tramp" from somewhere else.
License Expired
The license of the Amboy Sport
Club with headquarters in the Au-
ditorium on New Brunswick avenue,
expired May 1 last, and it will be
necessary for the organizer of a new
fight club to get a new license. In
making an application for a fight
license it is necessary to name the
place where the fights are to be
staged so that the state building fn-i
spector can inspect the place and
find if same is suitable. 1t Is UNI
derstood that no final agreement has
been reached in regard to securing
the Auditorium for the purpose of
staging the fights.

Pleasant Plains CoIored Team
Plays End Game of Series
Aquehongas Want Bor-
ough Honors

THE Eagles, a colored team from
Pleasant Plains. will come to Totem
vile on next Sunday Afternoon. with
the intention OF evening their series
with the Aquehonga baseball team.
The Pleasant Plains team came to
T~ottenville several weeks ago with a
Pennsylvania Red Caps battery and
gave Manager Carfoot's outfit quite
a tussle, the home team finally win
ming out. 5 to 4.
Reports from Pleasant Plains are
to the effect that the Eagles will be
padded a great deal stronger for the
coming game, and 1t would not be
surprising to followers of the Aque-
honga team. to see the entire Penn
sylvaia Red Caps team come to Tot
tenville for the game, or a combina-
ton equally as strong as this team.
The Pleasant Plains rooters earnestly
desire to score a victory over Man
ager Carfoot's boys.
The Aquehongas will nots play a
twilight game this week, due to the
fact thai A. Knott is out of the game
as a result of being hit in the head
by a pitched ball in the House of Da-
vid game. and also because of the
Chautauqua in Tottenville this week.
1t is probable that Manager Carfoot's
team will play one or two more twi-
light games before the end of the
season.
Staten Island Championship
The Stapleton representative team
Downey Shipyard nine of Port Rich
mond and the knights of Columbus
team of West Brighton, are in the
race for the championship of Staten
Island in addition to the Aquehonga
nine. The Stapleton team is con-
ceded to be the winner of a league
In their section, and the Aquehongas
have proved themselves the strongest
representative of this section of the
island In the near future, a sched-
ule of two games with each of these
teams. one away and the other at
home, will be arranged, and in this
way the borough honorss will be
rightfully decided. These contests
will take up nearly all of the re-
naming dates on the schedule of the
Aquehonga team, but Manager Car
foot is hopeful of arranging a game
or two with the Amboys. before the
close of the season.

Babe Ruth was a good pitcher, a
