MANY KICK ON CHANGING TIME

The few words of the "Hired Man"
last week relative to the proposition
of once again confusing and muddling
the minds of the people by adopting
a semi-annual change of city thine,
has apparently expressed the opinion
Of a majority of the people, as many
favorable comments have reached
our ears.
Most of the people have had enough
of time-changing and agree enthuslas-
tically with the "Hired Mans" senti-
ments, the only criticism being thu
the did not come out strong enough,
and he has been asked to "give 'em
h good and plenty" But this
course is far from his intention, as he
is a firm believer in the right OF
every man to entertain and express
any belief or opinion he deems best;
and although he honestly thinks any
more monkeying with the clock would
be bad mistake, he would not deny
to anyone the right to think other
wise.
But seriously, why not let well
enough alone? For the past two or
three years this time question has
been before the people, and the many
and constant changes have occasioned
much confusion, inconvenience and
worry, to say nothing of considerable
unnecessary profanity. And now, just
as we have accustomed ourselves to
using eastern time, as all the cities
and towns in this neck of the woods
are doing, it jumps into the limelight
again and an ordinance is introduced
to fight the war over again; and to
make it even worse, it is proposed to
switch back and forth every six
months to the end of time.
Better go slow, the people are salts
fed, the kickers, have ceased to kick,
the ball fans play ball, the golfers
golph, the amateur farmer works his
garden patch and the flivver owner
burns his gas-and all this is pos
sible because of the time gained by
the daylight saving plan. Most peo-
pie think it's good medicine, don't
change it!

In brief. is the resume of the South
River-Perth Amboy high school con-
test yesterday afternoon on the
cross-river diamond, A supposedly
, hard fought game developed into a
farce as the Amboy scholastics be-
came thoroughly aroused and started
to hit, run and score. After the
score-keepers had arrived from an
accountants Office to figure up the
score it was found to be Amboy IS,
South River 8. This score is a rec
ord for school teams hereabouts.
1t was the fifth straight win for Am
boy.
Scheidig toed the mound for the
home team and had nothing but a
glove and a prayer. Hen Westcott,
making his first start of the year,
although a little wild, was master
of the situation. Elliot Wilson pitch
ed the last two innings of the "mur-
der" and easily tanned Coach Fitz-
patrick's proteges. On the whole
the Amboy team performed better
yesterday than it did in a long time.
Coach Waddell used all the men on
the squad against the championship
aspirants and all except three Sc
cured safe hits. The contest was a
drawn out one not being over before
7 o'clock.
In three innings the locals scored
twenty-four runs. in the first spasm
the Crimson and White began the
pyrotechnics by chalking up six runs
half of which were accounted for
by Long George" Westerfeid's
home run. Eight runs were marked
up in the fourth while in the lucky
seventh ten Amboy representatives
crossed the plate. In these frames
the entire Amboy team went to bat
The only time South River threat
ened was in the first when they got
to Westcott for three hits and sew
eral errors gave them five markers.
After that it was just a contest to
see by how many rum the visitors
would win. The Amboys ran the
bases with reckless abandon as they
pilfered sack after sack.

deep channels and strong tide a

five to seven ounces. Some attach the

F1sherman's Luck
Deep sea fishing for BLACKLIST,
founders and other salt water spe-
cies is now well under way and good
catches are being reported. Boats
leave daily for Sheepshead Bay, Cla-

Battery Landing in New York. Any
one fond of this sport can enjoy a
day on the ocean at little trouble or
expense.
A few of our local anglers have

shore near lakewood. A few good
PASS have been taken there but as
yet the weather conditions have been
u~nfavorable.
Several of Perth Amboy's surf
fishing enthusiasts are on their first
trip this season spending the week
end along the New Jersey shore.
They propose to try it out all the
way from Seaside Park to Barnegat
Inlet and hope to bring back some
thing more than their tackle. If

ANG7O OF DELAWARE ON LOCAL FIELD TOMORROW
STRONG DELAWA ARE NINE
WILL OPPOSE AMBOYS
TOMORROW AFTERNOON

Considering colored teams and all
of the other strong semi-pro base
ball mines which have appeared In
this city during the past several
years, the Wilmingtons of Delaware
who play the Perth Amboys IN the
Raritan Copper works field tomor-
row afternoon are expected to prove
okle of the strongest teams hat ever
Y ,,peared here.
IAdvices from Delaware and Penn
~sylvania are to the effect that this
combination has the pick of diamond
material from Wilmington and vi
Unity and Wilmington during the
days of the war had one of the
strongest semi-pro mines in the coun-
try. This combination is not entered
in any league.
Special batting strength has been
added to the roster of the locals
so as to make a satisfactory show
ing against the team from the south.
Jack McAuliffe will be stationed in
center field, Johnny McAvoy will
hold down the difficult corner and
Gene Lidgate is scheduled to do the
receiving.
With Amboy hitting at a clip
which featured their work in the
opening or The present
season, and Daugherty and Maud in
Regular form, the Wilmingtons will
Nave a hard time chalking up a vic
tory. The defensive work of the
local club to date has been fairly
good.
Strong Opposition
So far this season the locals have
not stacked up against anything
which could be considered really
soft and for this easo it is hard
to estimate the real strength of the
combination moulded together by the
local magnate. Trenton bowed to
the locals but the contest could not
be considered a runaway victory,
and Jamaica furnished strong op-
position, losing out by a close ORE

boy has not faced a southpaw to date
and If the portsider is sent against
the locals, it will be another test for
them.
Manager Poulsen is laboring to
give this city, a hard working club
and a winner, and If the men he
brings here are not strong enough
for the opposition or if they fail to
deliver their best, they will be re-
placed. The local manager has in
view coming series with the Recrea-
lions of Plainfield and other strong
teams in this state and probably
also the return of the Royal Colored
Giants.
A victory over the W~ilmingtons
tomorrow afternoon may result in
the Amboy lineup starting tomor-
row, remaining unchanged for the
balance of the season. Considering
performances of present members of
the local team in the past, there
should be plenty of batting on the
Amboy side.
Performances of Wilmingtons to
date place them in a position to be

engaged a number of strong colored
teams to date this season and has
been successful in coming out VIC
torious in a majority of them.
The bringing of the Wilmingtons
here from Delaware, Is an unusual
undertaking and Manager Poulsen
has found 1t necessary to make the
general admission for tomorrow's
contest fifty cents. The expense of
bringing this club here is about the
same as for the Royal Giants.
Daugherty DR. Maud will start on
the mound for the locals tomorrow.
and Lidgate is expected to do the re-
ceiving. Kelly will umpire behind
the plate and Brownmiller OF the
bases. The contest will start at $3.50

carded to play their first travelling
game of the season in Philadelphia.
They will encounter the Cranes.

Industrial Teams Clash
Again This Afternoon,
One Contest at MdureT

The two Terra Gotta company
baseball teams will go into battle
this afternoon intent on making up
for the setback received last Satur-
day afternoon in connection with the
opening of the four-team industrial
league.
The Atlantics will be seen in ac-
ton with the Raritan Copper Works
nine on the latter's field, the Buck
ingham avenue lads having dropped
an extra inning contest to the Amer
lean Smelling & Refining Company
team last week. The Ingots beat the
New Jerseys in a seven inning game
on the same date.
On the Maurer field this afternoon
the Shelters will take on the New
Jerseys. Every Saturday afternoon
according TO the present plan there
will be a game on each field, every
team in the league having a chance
to play on both fields. 1t was orig
inally planned to run two games
every Saturday on the Copper Works
field but this plan did not work out
we'll last week.
Brownmiller for the Ingots and
Durham for the Atlantics are ex-
pected to be the opposing pitchers
in the downtown game. while John
son will likely start for the Shelters
and Geneski for the Catherine street
team. The remainder of the lineup
of the two teams will be practically
the same as last week.
Next Saturday afternoon accord
ing to the schedule the Ingots will
again take on the New Jerseys, while
the Shelters will play the Atlantics
and the following week the two terra
Gotta teams are scheduled to clash.
On the latter date the Ingots will
play the Shelters.
