 Individuals met other individuals and found they were headed the right way "Ah'm goin' down to the Mingo Cot, house An reckon thar'll be right smart lively time down there"
 Thus groups were formed and groups met other groups. Presently they grew into swarm, into an army, for that they are armed-always, and heavily-is an old story by now.
 Meanwhile the more radical union organizers. quick to seize the adVan- tage of this migration and this con centraic trend of emotion, no doubt made all possible capital out of 1t. Word was spread that the defendants in the second Matewan GunBattle trial at Williamson would be "rail- roaded" to the penitentiary or the gallows. Emphasis was laid upon the fact that for the first time men from Mingo were to be tried by jury drawn from an outside county.

Sunday Afternoon

Two travelling games are on the
schedule of Manager Mullen for his
Perth Amboy representative baseball
team over this weekend. Tomor-
row afternoon his players will go to
Tottenville to cross bats with. the
Aquehonga combination of hat place
and on Sunday afternoon the Am
boys will cross bats with the Column
bian Club nine of Woodbridge on the
Grove street grounds in Woodbridge.
The contest between the Aque-
honga and Perth Amboy teams has
long been hanging fire. and a big
crowd should turn out for the game.
Art Romer. the Tottenville portside
ace, will twirl for the home team,
while Lefty" Laurent of Railway
will occupy the mound for the visit
ors. 1t was originally believed that
Rogers will do the pitching for the
Amboy team in this game but an
announcement from Manager Null
len this morning was to the effect
that Laurent will pitch tomorrow.
Fullerton or Larsen will play first
for Amboy in this game, and Brady
will do the receiving. Regain is
scheduled to play second base for the
Aquehongas.
The first of a two-game series be-

CROWD AT NEWS WOULD

Although the crowd which re-

Of the News building yesterday az
ternoon was equally as large as the
gathering on the opening day. the
enthusiasm of the fans in the re-
ports given out did not increase 20
any great extent. The apparent
superior showing OF the New York
Yankees possibly has dimmed the
interest of the following Of the New
York Giants. and only a Giant VIC
tory will revive these fans.
In previous years every play IN a
game resulted in an outburst from
the fans. Surely there should be as
much interest in an All-New York
series, particularly after the inter-
esting pennant fights in both leagues.
1t is believed that a Giant victory
and a couple of home runs will re-
vive old time interest. The turnout
TO receive the reports of the first two
games has been large, and from $50

daily from persons, male and female,

Since the opening Of football prac-

contest.
Following the Scarlet's defeat at
the hands of the University of Mary

Rutgers will be at its strongest
point of the season when it faces

Unable. to solve the delivery of
Miller Higgins boxmen in the first
two games of the annual worlds
series classic. John McGraw's New
York Giants have placed themselves
in almost Is difficult a position as
before they started a drive for the
National League p%ennant. The fight

absent from the two games played
to date. Douglas and Nehf both
turned in real contests. but without

The Giants have a fighting ma

two gamss. Everyone of these play
ers are overdue, and today is the
day they should pay In full. The
Giant team will hit Mays and Hoyt
when these pitchers are sent back
against them, and McGraw's men
should hit Shawkey, Collins, Harper
or Quinn, with the first mentioned
pitcher the likely choice for today.
McGraw's team never was boosted
as having a murderer's row. but the
Giants have been rated as a good
hitting team. Holding a murder

Is a feat worthy of mention. Fred
Toney, the most likely Giant pitch

on to pitch equally a. good as

Ruth and Meusel have been the

George Babe" Ruth, home run
king of baseball. has not made a
home run in the two games of the
worlds series played to date. He
has stepped to the plate eight times
in these contests, and made a hit on
his first trip to the rubber in the
opening game on Wednesday after
Don The Bambino walked once
on Wednesday and famed twice. In
yesterdays game King Swat was
passed three times. and on his fourth
appearance he forced Peckinpaugh
AZ second base.
This series would be colorless
without the Bambino making at
least one circuit smash. But it is
hard to expect him to make a four
base blow when he is purposely
passed fifty per cent. of the times
he is given a chance at the bat. If
Toney pitches today it is safe to say
that he will pitch to the Bambino
and If he does, at least one homer
will sail into the stands.

better than that of his early season

The National Billiard Association
of America from now on is going to
sanction American tournaments and
keep a permanent record of records
that are made.
It's a good move. It'll put the

there has been nothing to hinder
a player from claiming any record
he wanted to - and probably get
ting away with it. For no official
records have been kept.
Now records can be established
only in sanctioned tournaments.
The move comes at an appropriate
time. For the early winter will see
