The concern that advertises recognizes that

And moreover, the advertising is in itself

All advertising does not succeed Some
times it is badly done. Advertising in the
right place, at the right time, backed by the
right goods will invariably win.
The foundation of advertising success is
picking the right markets and the right me-

WEST AMbOYS
CLAIM GAME
Disputed Contest With Maur-
er Nine Claimed - Also
Issue Challenge for Game

Manager Joseph Battle, of the
West Amboy team, in a communities
ton to the Evening News this morn
ing, claims that his team is entitled
to the game played on the Maurer
grounds Sunday afternoon between
his team and the Maurer outfit. A
dispute arose in the latter part OF
this game, with the Maurer team in
the lead. Manager Battle claims that
the umpire on bases called one OF
his men safe, and that the umpire
on strikes and balls, agreed on h
decision. A dispute arose, and after
some discussion the umpire on balls
and strikes, called the man out,
Manager Battle states.
The West Amboy manager states
that the umpire on balls and strikes
called the runner out, when 1t was
up to the umpire on bases. (The
umpire on balls and strikes is the
umpire-in-chief, and his decision
overrules the decision Of the umpire
on balls and strikes.) The West
Amboy manager is ready to play the
Maurer team "for all the money they
can cover" Manager Battle at the
end Of his communication states that
anyone with m sense should
know that an umpire does not know
anything about baseball If there are
two arguments in as many games, In
which he is officiating.
It is hoped that the Maurer and
West Amboy teams will agree to an
other meeting on a neutral diamond,
with neutral umpires officiating.

the Ingots in this game, while new
faces may appear at second base and
in the right field position. Ed Keel

sible that Jack Egan may be shifted
to second base, Harry Applegate will
remain at first, and a newcomer in
the ranks of the Ingots will be
found at the difficult corner
mickey" Loeser will be stationed
in left field, and Marty Hurley in
right or center field, and another
new face in either the right or CEN

Poulsen is of the belief that he can

at each angle. At the bottom of
each hole was an electrified plate
that registered every time it was
touched. Ruth was given a little in

fitted the holes. Then he vas told
to take the iron in his right hand

with his right hand he made a

of eye, brain and muscle, he was
seated at a telegraph key, with an
upright board holding an electric
lamp on the table before him. He
was told to press the telegraph key
when the light was flashed on. Re-
suits showed that his muscles re-
sponded to the eye and brain impulse
more than one-tenth quicker than
those of the average person.
The scientists say this is one rea-
son why Ruth can follow a sharp
breaking curve with his bat and meet
the ball fair enough to heave 1t over
the wall.
The Babe, rugged in a rubber har-
ness, which was attached by hollow
tubes to a recording cylinder, showed
that just before he swung he took a
deep breath. and hat he holds his
breath until after the ball has been
hit. This results in tension of the
muscles. The scientists told him hat
if he expelled his breath before hit
ting, his swing would have greater
strength and rhythm and he could
hit harder and more effectively.
