"THE EVERGREEN
 WILDCATS
By JAMES w. EGAr

As the referee called things off, and the crowd started 10 pile out of the hall, I hear da lotta growing and grumbling. Suddenly one bird climbed into the ring
 .Boys." he cries, q ain't gonna stand for this. We paid our good money to see action, and these birds came in and stalled. We saw couple boxers refuse to get in and mix, and then comes a cheese wrestling match. They can't get away with that stuff in F. Forks. They need lesson, and they're gonna get it. As the marshal of the town I place the boxers and the wrest lers under arrest. They'll be held un- til Justice Griggs gets back Monday.
 Cheers broke loose. Furious, pushed my way to the marshal

YANKEES NEW HOME RUN
 HOME TAILOR-MADE FOR BABE

NEW YORK-The Yankees new | two million dollar park will be tailor | made for Babe Ruth and his home run | swing. ing plant When the switch is made in two 1 years Babe will find his new home run home all set for him to manufacture homers in. The right field of the new establish ment will be an exact duplicate of the one at the Polo Grounds where Babe has learned so well to measure the distance for his home run aim.
 From home plate to right field via the foul line in the Polo Grounds is a distance of 252 feet.
 Each time Babe starts up steam to swing his favorite home run stick he has to wallop the horsehide that far.
 From home plate to left field in the Polo Grounds is 27S feet But Babe seldom swings that way.
 In the new park the same distances between home plate and the various parts of the field will conform with the Polo Grounds measurements.
 It's true we're going to look out especially for right field,'' says Colonel Houston.
 Exact Duplicate
 everything in that part of the lot will be an exact duplicate of the Polo Grounds so Babe won't feel strange and out of place when he steps up to sock one.
 But there1l be one disadvantage to the new park which will bring many sishs from the Yankee fans.
 :.The right field wall win be 20 feet l higher than the one at the Polo 1 Grounds
 (Which will make it almost impos 1 sible for Babe or any other slugger to knock 'em over. | Home runs will have to be hit into l the right field stands-not over the wall"
 Tt gives Bambino new mark to shoot at. That's what he'll be trying
 Babe wants to hit 75 home runs this year. The 54 he got last season has only made him keen.
 T wouldn't be surprised to see him do it
 Pitchers walked Babe 14S times while he was making his 1920 record. l He missed just that many chances to hit one of his long ones
 Babe is a youngster yet. He was ! T February {.

HISTORY Or PERTH AMBoY
(Continued from page ~

Returning from England. young
Franklin reached Perth Amboy Feb
ruary rs, 1868, and was received
with great ceremony and eclat by
the gentry of the city in their
sleighs. Escorted by the Middlesex
Troop of Horse in gala uniforms, he
entered the city to the ringing of
bells and other demonstrations of
welcome. At this time Perth Amboy
was not only the capital of the prov
ince, but the seat of an important
military post and the official resi-
dence of the governor and the lead
ing officers of his provincial entour-
age. II contained more than 800
homes and al at the pinnacle of
its as a port of entry for
foreign ships.
AS governor, Franklin strove zeal
ously for the improvement of the
province, for the building of roads,
| the development of domestic and
foreign commerce, the betterment of
agricultural conditions and every
thing that would bring increased
prosperity and happiness to the
people. His energy, high intelligence
and democratic personality made
him everywhere popular with all
classes of people.
Two years after his Inauguration
as governor, a feeling of disquietude
and resentment swept the province
following the receipt from England
OF news announcing the passage by
parliament of Lord North's offensive
Stamp Act. in this emergency he
acted with great prudence and by
pacific measures sought to placate
the sensibilities of the people by
studiously avoiding any excitement
of their animosities.
In the ten years between the pas
sage of this obnoxious act of legisla-
ton and the final eruption In 1775,
which called the provinces to arms,
Franklin stood energetically for a
peaceful adjustment of the difficult
ties with the Mother Country.
Against the inflamatory arguments
of Samuel Adams in Massachusetts,.
Alexander Hamilton In New York,
Patrick Henry in Virginia and the
patriots of Philadelphia who de-
handed separation from England,
he urged Cancellation and persua-
sion.
Twice in 1875 members of the
provincial assembly, antagonistic to
the Crown, sought to introduce reso-
lutions similar to those forced
through the Virginia House of Bur-
gesses by Patrick Henry and patriots
in other legislative bodies and twice
through the influence of Franklin,
resolutions inspired by him pledging
the allegiance of the assembly to the
crown, d~isavowing any desire for in
dependence, were passed instead.

AT THE YACHT CLUB

The delightful air of informality
together with the ideal weather and
the excellent music furnished by
Johnstone's orchestra, combined to
make the dance given by the Rar-
!tan Yacht Club last night a most
enjoyable affair. The fact that
many people are leaving the city
foi the summer probably accounted
for the rather small attendance, but
the success of the dance was in no
way impaired by the lack Of num-
bers .
One Of the features Of the dance
was the playing CT several song hits
