Dump" Adams Slated
To Pitch SATURDAY.
odd Timer" Still Gives Battle
to Newer Players, and Keep
ing in Fine Condition.

When the PleasantVille Regulars
line up on Saturday afternoon against
the strong Bridesburg aggregation, at
the local ball field. New road and
Washington avenue, Dump Adams
will be seen on the mound. This "Old
Timer is still in fine condition and
can pitch a game that makes the youn-
ger curve fingers sit up and take
notice. Manager Gegan is planning
against such a condition as existed
last Saturday, when it took three
pitchers to finish the game with the
p. r. R., of Camden. Ferris started
in and was replaced by Gegan, who
had to give way to Smith. With Ad-
ans on the mound Gegan plans TO go
through the game without a change
OF pitchers. Adams does sometimes
give way to another twirler during a
game, but in the majority Of games he
stays to the finish, and he has a good
habit of bringing his team through as
winners in the majority of instances.
He brought tears to the eyes of Mel
rose last Sunday afternoon, and aims
to serve Bridesburg in the same fash
ion on Saturday. Local fans expect
great things of Adams on Saturday
afternoon and will be sadly %disappoint-
ed If, by any turn of fortune, he should
fail them.
Manager Bill Gegan will have the
following lineup on Saturday: Smith,

White SPEAKS
To K|WAN|ANS
State Senator Told of Duties and
Efforts of Legislature at
Tuesdays Luncheon.
Delegates Give Report

State Senator Charles d. White was
the principal speaker on Tuesday at
the noon meeting and luncheon of the
Pleasantville kiwanis Club, at North
field. Senator White took as his topic
the duties and efforts of the Legisla-
ture, and explained the reason for the
failure of some of the bills and the
effect that the passing of ONE would
have on this part of the country. He
told members present hat efforts had
been made to have the Shore road
from Absecon to Somers Point includ-
ed in the State highway scheme.
In part he said: 81 would rather
lose my job keeping straight with the
people back home, even if they don't
know it and don't support me, than
keep in Office by taking orders from
the %gold-brick artists in public life.
IF the price of the Senatorial job
for Atlantic County is that l vote to
spend forty million dollars of State
road funds on Warrenite paving, l

doubts within an hour whether his
vote has been right or wrong. but on
the big things, as in the National
Guard units, to pass the Landlord and
Tenant Act, providing no raise in
rents of over 35 per cent. in three
years, to protect spawning fish in
Spring from net fishermen, to make
the big trucks pay their share of the
repairs to the roads they destroy, to
compel the State Highway Commits
sion to take bids on concrete roads as
well as on Warrenite roads-in all
these things there was a big lobby of
special interests against the bills, and
nobody appearing in the interests of
the people back home in favor of
them.

want men in the Legislature who are
willing to sacrifice their political fu-
lures rather than go back on these

A large percentage of the 100000 are

the plans provided for humane bull

sport as return to barbarism.
But what of auto races? Special
trains and many overland trips contrib

messed the auto racing on the Indianapo-

During the race, the spectators thrilled.

Murphy, the winner, piloted his car 500
miles at an average rate Of more than
ninety-four miles an hour. No fatal ac-
cidents occurred. One car turned over
several times, but none Of the occupants
was seriously hurt. However, the daring

THE CONFERENCE TREATIES.

Two difficulties have arisen concerning
the treaties drawn up at the Armament
Conference. Most Of the signatories do
not seem inclined to ratify them in the
near future; and the spirit of one treaty
has been openly violated. The first Of
these is the less serious but may become
more so if it is allowed to continue. Only
the United States and China have rati-
fed to date. Japan is preparing to do
so in a month, but England. France and
Iialy are using dilatory tactics.
Until the Naval Limitations Treaty is
ratified by all the parties to ii the Unit
ed States cannot carry out its scrapping
provisions There is no time limit EN-.
bodied in the pact and only the force of
public opinion can produce action on the
part of the European countries. Delay
may prove dangerous, resulting, as it !
would, in pushing the treaties into the
background.
Despite the treaty prohibiting the use
Of poison gas in warfare, seven nations
are continuing their experiments with
new and more deadly forms of it. One
OF these nations signed the treaty. No
treaty will ever help humanity if it is
signed in one breath and violated in the
rext. Its spirit, as well as its letter,
must be adhered to, if good is to result.
