THREE GAMES
FOR ANB0YS
MulIen's Nine to Play Double
Header Sunday and One
Game Decoration Day.

Joe Mullen's Perth Amboy base
ball tossers will endeavor to tuck
away three victories over Sunday
and Monday, and make up for their
defeat at the hands OF the Danbury
nine of New York in the opening
! game Of the double-header on last
Sunday afternoon. The Morgan
nine of South Amboy will furnish
the opposition in the first game of
Sundays double-header and Bridge
port will be the attraction in the
second event. The Lyceum nine of
his city is the team booked to OPP
scheduled on the Raritan Copper
Works field for Monday afternoon,
Memorial Day.
The Morgan combination haS-not
been playing up to regular form
| this season, and should furnish the
locals little opposition. The Mich
elins of Midtown routed this COM
bination, and the Keasbey repre-
sentative team handed a severe
drubbing to the South Amboyans on
last Sunday afternoon. The Bridge
ports of New York are rated as a
strong travelling semi-pro team and
should force the local representa-
tives to the limit in order to decide
the contest. Harry Chunk" Apple
gate will pitch n of these games
on Sunday afternoon.
Real interest is being taken in the
contest between Tom Snyder's Ly-
ceum nine and the Perth Amboyans.
Mickey Milchick. who recently re-
turned from Danville, and Henry
Butch" Neider of Woodbridge, who
recently returned from Daytona.
Fla, will probably be the opposing
slabsters in this game. The Lyce-
ums have been travelling at a fairly
good pace this season, and play the
Aquehongas of Tottenville Sunday.

GAMES OVER WEEKEND

Manager John Urbanski, of the
Maurer baseball team, has two
games booked for Sunday and Mon
day afternoons. On Sunday after
noon the strong Pioneer team of this
city will oppose the Maurer repre-
sentatives on the Maurer grounds,
and on Monday afternoon the Maur-
er tossers Will travel to Old Bridge

representatives of that place.
The Maurer players won a close
decision over the Pioneers in a game
played last season, and Manager
Urbanski is confident of repeating
when the two teams get together on
Sunday afternoon. The Maurer tos-
sers also defeated Old Bridge last
season, and the local manager feels
confident of the ability of his tossers
to repeat in the coming game. Last
night the Maurer tossers played a
practice game with the Junior club
team on the Maurer grounds.

IMPROVING THE WATER SYSTEM

As has been mentioned in the Echo
before, the city is making some i'm
provements on the water system, and
the work preparatory to laying the
l4-inch main is progressing nicely.
From the intake down several hun
dred feet 14-inch pipe was put in
some years ago and this is in good
condition yet. The old 10-inch main,
however, is giving lot of trouble
the collars having given away in
many places and the leakage being
great, and as considerable of this
pipe was above the ground it was
considered eXpedient to relay it with
l4-inch and bury it all, therefore the
old 10-inch pipe has been uncovered
and in places the route has been
changed, following the roadway of
the road built last summer. The new
pipe was expected to arrive early this
week. 1t will be hauled out and the
lO-inch pipe will be taken up and
brought down to the Harding lane
where trench is being made, follow
ing the roadway to point near the
bridge southwest of the saw mill. The
old pipe will be used in laying a main
along this road and eventually into
town, providing a supply of water in
case the old pipe across the river be-
low the dam should go out.
1t Is planned to do some work on
the intake late this summer, when the
water gets low enough. This plan
contemplates an improvement at the
intake so that it will not be neces
sary to keep man up there during
the winter
1t appears that the council is do
ing the best possible under the cir
eumstances to insure good water ser
vice.

PETER COSKf
TDROWNS WEDNESDAY
ON LOG DRIVE
EMPLOYED BY GREAT NORTH
ERN LUMBER co. ON BIG
LOG DRIVE - OTHERS RES
CUED FROM ICY WATERS.

Peter Coske, employed by the
Great Northern Lumber Co. on the
drive, was drowned Wednesday a
short distance below McCrea's land
ing on the Wenatchee river, about
opposite the Brender school The
body had not yet been recovered
Thursday morning though every eff
fort had been made by the lumber
company to do so.
Coske and three other men had
just loosed a log which was hung up
on bar in the river, near shore. and
all got on it with the evident inten-
tion of jumping ashore from it. How
ever they all fell off into deep water.
Other men were close at hand ashore
and with row boat Three of the
four men in the water could swim and
pole was thrust out to the one who
could not swim and he was pulled
ashore. A pole was also thrust out
to Coske right in front of him and be-
tween his hands, but though he was
swimming strong he paid no atten-
tion to the pole. Suddenly he seemed
to be overcome, presumably by
! cramps or heart failure, and went un-
der and was not seen again The
| other men were in the meantime all
rescued from the water.
Men were Immediately set to work
patrolling the river on both banks
and others dragging the water in an
attempt to find the body. Men are
still watching the river at Chiwaukum
and at the.G n. railway dam, though
the search was discontinued The
river current in the quietest water is
quite swift at this time and t is like
y that the body was rapidly carried
down stream and will not be recover
ed unless found in the mill pond.
Coske was an Austrian by birth
and had not become a citizen of this
country. He was single and so far as
the records at the mill office show had
10 dependents in this country.

LOGS COME: DOWN
AND SEEM SAFtlYHELD
IN MILL POND
APPEARANCES INDICATE MILL
ING COMPANY is GAMER BY
PILES GOING OUT; II MILLION
FEET OF LOGS IN POND.

Early this week about eleven mil
lion feet of logs from the pond at
Chiwaukum had been gathered in
the pond above the mill of the Great
Northern Lumber Co. and others
were coming down all the time,
though the river would have to be
driven and logs in eddies and on
rocks set ahoat before anything near
100 per sent of those set adrift when
the piling went out could be safely
counted upon for the summers cut,
for according to reliable estimate
some fourteen million feet began the
journey from Chiwaukum.
1t is understood that about six
million feet were still to be put in
the water when the piling went out.
These logs are above Chiwaukum and
they are being put in the water as
fast as the men can do it. They
will undoubtedly be sent down the
river if the high water continues.
The logs now in the pond are near
ly all in good condition, contrary to
the contention that they would be
greatly damaged by the trip through
the canyon, and it is stated authori-
tatively that the lumber company is
the gamer by some fifty thousand
dollars-savng not having to load
and pay freight on them from Chi
waukum.
