Bobby Mclean Wins
Over Carroll Brown
Pleasantville Kiwanis Club Put
Another Victory to Credit on
Wednesday.

Bobby" Mclean, pitching for the
Pleasantville Kiwanis Club, proved far
too strong for Carroll Brown, who
some time ago pitched for Connie
Mack, under the name of Boardwalk
Brown, when the local team met the
Atlantic City Kiwanis Club, at the lat,
ter place on Wednesday afternoon
This is the second time P~leasantville
has Vol from the seashore Kiwanians,
This game was Browns first defeat in
eight games pitched this season.
Both Mclean and his opponent had
a half dozen strike-outs during the
battle, which would have been an ex.
ceptionally good hurting duel had not
eight misplays marred the exhibition.
After Brown had held the Pleasant.
vile team without a run or hit for two
innings, the visitors suddenly solved
his curves in the third round and be.
fore the side could be retired had
scored six times. Weaver's single
started the fireworks.
Bill Verga was the fielding feature
of the afternoon. He made a running
catch of Harold Miller's long drive to
deep left field, robbing the Mainland
player of an easy two-bagger. Wilson
and Mailman also showed we'll in
fielding.
Brown, Steacy, Wilson and Parsels
each collected two hits.

Will Have
Several Hard Games
Manager Gegan Has Arranged
Contest in Philadelphia with
Lit Brothers Team.

Manager William Gegan has arrang-
ed several games of ball for Pleasant
vile Regulars which will try the
strength of the team. On Thursday,
Sept. 18th, the team will visit Philadel-
phia to play a return gam with the
strong Lit Brothers team, which was
defeated when they played here by a
score of 40. Dump Adams, who
pitched the winning game then, will
probably be SEM against the Quaker
City team again. He held the store
boys to a few scattered hits in the
last contest. Sanders will do the re-
ceiving for the Regulars as usual.
Either Lefty" Aud, formerly with
the Fleisher Yarners, or Otto will take
care of the pitching for Lit Brothers,
with Kille on the receiving end.
This Saturday Adams will hurl
against Hammonton in a game that
will decide whether Egg Harbor or
Pleasantville will retain first place in
the Atlantic County Baseball League.
He will be given a rest on Sunday,
when P%leasantville and Somers Point
clash in the initial game of their series
at Somers Point, Gegan most likely
doing the hurting for the locals. How
ever, Adams will come back and pitch
one OF two games on Labor Day, with
Dixie Davis pitching in the other
tilt.
On Monday, Sept. 4, P~leasantville
tackles Germania in the morning
game, and will play Egg Harbor in the
afternoon contest.

Killed By Express
Adam PHILIPPINE Struck AS He
Was Walking on Tracks of
Pennsylvania Railroad.

Adam PHILIPPINE, a young lad resid

near Hammonton, was struck and in

press trains of the Pennsylvania Rail

before four o'clock on Tuesday after
noon. His body was thrown about a

engineer hastily threw on the air
brakes he was unable to bring the
heavy train to a stop until after it had

beyond.
The engine crew of the north-bound
train saw the accident and bringing
the train to a stop returned to the

from his body. He was dead when

Councilman Peck Was
Acclaimed A Hero
Prompt Action Probably Saved
Lives of Mother and Two
Children Last Tuesday.

1t was probably due to the presence
OF mind and prompt action of Council
man Charles NJ. Peck, of this city.
that the lives of a mother and two
small children We're saved in Atlantic
City last Tuesday about 1890 o'clock.
He, with many other people, was a
passenger on car number 1855 of the
Shore Fast Line coming from the In
let. The car was an open one and was
well filled with people, mostly women.
AS the motorman came around the
turn leading from Vermont Avenue to
Atlantic Avenue he beheld right in
the path of the car and walking with
their back to him a woman and two
small children. The woman had a
child by each hand. The motorman
started a frantic ringing of the bell,
expecting to see the woman dart away
from the track and drag the children
after her. To his complete consterna-
ton she remained walking slowly
down the track. He then applied his
brake and, as he said afterward, his
heart rose in his mouth, as he seemed
to feel nothing could avert a serious
accident.
Councilman Peck was a passenger
and occupied a front seat. He saw
the peril of the woman and children
and realized that the car would hit
them as they were going. He quickly
jumped to the running board, or step,
on the side of the car and just as the
a reached the people he gave the
sEoman azhard push which tent her
Wrs AZ 642s path of the car and
f<tnD< 9H5EE1ftby fence. The woman
f4t&nned III hold on the hands of the
children and they were dragged along
to safety with her.
The car was brought to a stop and
the woman was asked why she had
deliberately walked down the track in
front of 1t. She then explained that
she was very deaf and had not heard
the warning bell sounded. The chill
dren with her were too small to take
notice of the approaching car, having
complete confidence in the mother
who held their hands. Councilman
Peck was congratulated by many of
the passengers on his rare presence
of mind at the time when several
other men sat apparently frozen to
their seats and staring with bullying
eyes at the woman about to the killed.

State Chairman Grier, of New

Must Use Small Sizes

Householders will probably be COM
PEELED TO use Pea coal or other small
sizes this winter quite extensively, in
stead of stove or egg coal for their
heaters, according to a statement re-
Gently issued from the office of State
Chairman Grier of the New Jersey
Fuel Commission. He has sent a let

urging their earnest cooperation to
have an adequate distribution of an

or is available for shipment. The let
ter issued by Chairman Grier SAYS:
We all know there will be a short
age of domestic sizes of anthracite
coal this coming winter. The New
Jersey Fuel Commission will spare no
Efforts in having shipped into the State
lts proper share of the production.
In order that the best results may
be obtained from the available tom
mage 1t is absolutely essential that
extreme care and discretion be exer-
cised in the distribution when coal
begins to arrive. There will be, of
course, a great demand for coal. and
Lis oituutioh Will We llidue more. acute
by the urgent appeals from
who already have several months sup
ply in their bins. This should be
carefully watched. We feel that no
consumer should be given more than
a months supply, and no consumer
with a months supply or more in his
bins should be furnished with any
additional coal until all nsume
obtain a relative supply.
Dealers should also urge house
holders to use pea coal in combination
with larger sizes. There will probably
be a better supply of pea coal than
any OF the other domestic sizes.
Large apartments with a common
heating system, hotels, office build
ings, etc, should be required to burn
buckwheat o r smaller sizes of anthra-
cite or bituminous coal wherever prac-
ticable.
1.-THE seriousness of the shortage
will be tempered to a large extent by
the patriotic, earnest effort of every
retail coal dealer to make a fair, i'm
partial.distribntion of his tonnage.
we feel that we can depend upon
you gentlemen for a full hundred per
cent. cooperation. Upon the success
of this policy depends future action of

body as he pleased. The first blow,
in the second round, a sharp left hook
by Leonard, sent Levine to his
launches. When he came up, Leon

Leonard's fayorite mode of attack
throughout all of the rounds. Leon
