a great benefit to the two communi.

New York, Oct. 8.-Saturdav's
world series ball game was rolled I'D
In wet blanket at the Polo grounds
this afternoon and the fourth game
OF the series between the Yankees
and Giants, postponed on account of
rain, will be played Sunday. The
rain had ceased falling tonight and
1t looked as if Sunday might be
clear, but probably cold.
The postponement was voted a
sorry trick of the weather by the
more than 10000 eager fans who
had reached the grounds before the
rain began to fall at l o'clock, and
the many other thousands who
turned back from the ball park dur
ing the downpour in the hour before
game time. 1t was decidedly unwel- |

OF the series, because of the neces-
slty of honoring rain checks and the
other complications in the way of
admission ticket arrangements which
the disruption of the original sche-
dule brought about.

there was no noticeable mourning
over the break in the daily process

AGAINST
OUTCALT PLAN
Calls Method of Solving Un-
employment Problem Un-
constructive probe Made

A resolution published herewith
was drawn by a committee appoint
ed by the county chairman of the
American Legion to investigate the
Rest-A-While Buddies Camp at Out
calf, near Spotswood. The commit
tee appointed follows: Clark Pat
| rick, Helmetta, chairman: Robert J.
Franklin. Helmetta, secretary; Will
liam Thompson, Perth Amboy;
Joseph Deegan. Perth Amboy;
Charles Matthews. Piscaiaway; Har-
old Davall. Jamesburg; Everett APP
pleby, Spotswood, and John Conlow,
South Amboy.
The appointment of this commit
tee was made at a meeting held a
week 6 Saturday in the Hotel
Madison, an organization meeting
was held at Helmetta last Sunday.
| and another session of the commit
tee was held at the Legion head
| quarters, South Amboy, on Wednes-
day night.
The resolution drawn up follows:
Whereas the unemployment situ-
alton among the ex-service men IN
Middlesex county is very critical
and in the past month an apparently
well meaning person mas brought in
to this county from all parts of the
| country a large number of unem-
| ployed ex-service men and in view
of the fact that this individual or
the organization which she repre-
| sents did not have sufficient funds
to support these men pending their
| employment, and since these men
have already been supported in q
large measure by contributions from
| Middlesex county. and in view of the
fact that there is 10 employment In
which to place these men in this
county, this committee places itself
on record as being opposed to this
unconstructive method of solving
the unemployed problem and rehab-
ilitating the. ex-service men and
Whereas, this committee is op-
posed to the importation of unem-
ployed ex-service men from other
states into Middlesex county for the
purpose of securing employment
during the present industrial de-
preston, and
that the practical way to meet this
situation is to have each community
take care of its own unemployment
problem.
Therefore, be it resolved that the
Middlesex County Executive Com
mittee offers it's service in this mat
ter with a view ~to~assisting each in
dividual at the Rest-A-While Bud
dies Camp, in a constructive effort
to return him to his w community.
"And be it further resolved that
the Middlesex County Executive
Committee place itself on record
that if any of the men now at the
Rest-A-While Buddies Camp are
disabled as a result of their war
service, we offer to assist these men
in every possible way until their
claims are adjusted.
