SOPHOMORE HOP AT HIGH
SCHOOL GREATLY ENJOYED

Last evening in the high school
auditorium the annual class party of
the sophomores was given. Under
what were probably the prettiest
decorations of the year, a large
crowd spent an enjoyable evening
of dancing. The music, which was
very good was furnished by Mrs.
Hancock and Oscar Reinhart. Special
dances were presented by several
talented members of the class.
The decorations were beautiful
Under a lattice work of dark blue
crepe which covered the entire hall

HARDING PATHWAY
Coolidge, in Message to Congress
Yesterday, Declares for Many
Principles Espoused by His
Predecessor in Office

Boiled down to quickly readable
form, the salient points of Presi-
dent Coolidge's message to congress,
delivered in person yesterday, are
here presented. The message shows
level-headed thought in advocating
tried-and-true policies and to a
large extent follows the principles
of government set forth by Presi-
dent Harding before his untimely
death. In abbreviated form, sub
jects touched upon by President
Coolidge are as follows:
The late President Harding has
made justice more certain and peace
more secure. 1t is our duty to de-
velop and support the wise prin-
ciples of government which he rep
resented.
We must maintain an American
policy in our foreign affairs. We
have refused to adopt and ratify the
covenant of the league of nations
l am not proposing any change in
this policy.
SO far as we are concerned, the
league issue is dead.
l favor. the establishment of a
world court of justice =. wish
to see such a court established.
Our Government offers no OBJ
jections to the carrying on of COM
merce between our citizens and
Russia. Our Government, however
does not propose to enter into re-
lations with another regime which
refuses to recognize the sanctity OF
international Obligations.
l do not favor the cancellation
of the foreign debts of $7,200,000,.
900 or the British debt of $4,600,-
100000. I see no objection tc
adjusting it in accordance with the
principle adopted for the British
debt.
Justice court cases must be ex.
pededited. The Supreme Court
needs legislation revising and sim
plifying the laws governing review
The budget system must be main
tained.
l especially commend a decrease
/ on earned incomes and further
abolition of admission, message ant
nuisance taxes. am not in favor
of excess profits taxes.
A constant revision of the tariff
by Congress is disturbing and harm
full.
Government action can fulfill the
huge claims against Germany.
propose to pursue this course.
Every effort should be made tt
suppress interstate liquor traffic
With action by the Government anC
the states, prohibition should bt
made effective.
Further reductions in the army
and navy should not be made. Boil
of these services should be strength
ened instead of weakened.
We want no more war, but W,
want no weakness that invites i'm
position.
l do not favor the granting of !,
bonus.
1t is important that Congress
favor a reorganization of the diff
ferent departments and bureaus O.

Every sound remedy that can b.
devised should be applied for tn
relief of the farmer. Systems o
cooperative marketing are needed

fans of this section a chance to wit
less real semi-pro contests in this
ity on Saturday afternoon.
Yardville, Freehold, Hightstown,
Ind the Bash and Barber teams of
Trenton are the other mines entered
in the league at the present time.
Cranbury having dropped out a short
time ago. Bash won the first half
championship and the winner of Sec
ond half honors will meet the Tren-
ton outfit in a post-season series for
the league pennant.
The strength Of Freehold Is we'll
known here, and the Bash and Bar

boosted as strong aggregations. Gran

its roster made a rather poor show

for Local Baseball Field
this Evening

Hochheiser and Gardella are slat-
ed to be the opposing twirlers this
evening when the High School In
dependents clash with the padded
up PAGERS at Wonderland Park. The

his offerings, Budin on first, CLAUS
on second, Levine OF the Keasbey
Field Club, at short; Chuma on

PAGER management is confident OF
taking the scalp of the high school
ers.
The school boys will attempt to
break their losing streak of four
games this evening. Most of the de-
feats scored by the former Crimson
representatives has been due to go
ing out of their class. Their playing
this summer Is giving them more ex-
perience which should be of great
use to them in the next school sea-
son. The Rhodes combine will take
the field with Hochheiser on the
mound, Forgotson behind the bat,
Westerfield at first, Martin on sec
ond, Philips at short and Rhodes on
third. Seaman will be missing as he

Molly and Terio will be in the
points for the Acme baseball combi-
nation Of Fanny Terio, when this
outfit takes the field against the
Matawan ball team on the Matawan
grounds this Saturday afternoon.
The Matawan nine recently defeated
the nine known as the Thomas All
Stars.
The South Amboy veteran is one
of the pitching mainstays of the
local department and is confident
with Terio behind the plate, the
Matawan tossers will be defeated.
Bill Seiboth will hold down. the in
itial sack and Levine, Pelligrine and
Gardella will occupy the remaining
infield positions. Manager Terio an
nounces that Romer, Jensen and

night that he had arranged a game
with the Fords Field Club for this
Sunday afternoon, the contest to be
played as a preliminary on the Rar-
itan Copper Works field. Terio ex-
poets to pitch against Metuchen's
star southpaw slab artist on this
occasion.

Cranbury nine. Freehold won the
championship of the Three M league
last season, the first year for the
organization.
Use Same Lineup
Manager Doulsen plans to use the
same lineup as in Sunday games
with the exception of Eddie Einhorn
who plays with High Bridge in a
North Jersey league on Saturday af-
ternoon. Another pitcher will be
added to the local roster for the
league games, and as many other
players as the league will allow.
Perth Amboy has not been entered
in a league slice the days of the
Perth Amboy PAGERS when Max
Gibian and Billy Pau promoted the
great sport on the Amusement Park
grounds on outer Smith street. A
big crowd will turn out for the oil en-
ing contest a week from Saturday,
and it is probable that a program
will be arranged along the lines of
those prepared for a similar event in
other cities. Mayor Wilson probably
will throw out the first ball and a
band may be in attendance.
The Amboys will play few league
games on Sunday, which will allow
for the big outside attractions. Some
league games. may be played on
week nights. The local team will
play as many games or the road as
on the local grounds.
This Sunday the Penn Red Caps
will tackle the Amboys in a return
contest on the local field.

JOEY SEWELL
MAKING GOOD
Indian ShortfieId Man Rated
With Best of Present Day
Stars
By NEA Service

BY NEA service
CLEVELAND, Aug. 16:-One
hardly can overlook Joey Sewell
when compiling a list of the stars
in the baseball armament for 1928.
The former Alabama University
player. besides putting up a stellar
game afeld, has been smacking the
old apple on the p~roverbial nose.
At present he is not far removed
from the swatting leaders. Unless
he hits a bar slump, he's almost GER
tain to finish well above the 1850
mark. A pretty good average in any
league.
This is Sewell's fourth season in
the majors, though in reality he has
only been in two complete CAM
paigns. Joey came to the Indians in
August of 1920, almost directly from
the college campus. Obviously the
jump was a big one but at that 1t
was no bigger than the job he was
asked to fill.
Cleveland then was sorely in need
of a shortstop. And a good n at
that. At least if the vacancy was
to be filled as capably as it had been
for years past,
Ray Chapman, the hub of the
Cleveland infleld, not long before
had met a tragic death. The Indians,
IN the thick of the penhant fight, re-
ouired a chap who could jump into
Rays boots without too much of a
rattle.
To Joey sewell went that tough
assignment. But, Sewell, a green
inexperienced youngster, surprised
even his admirers.
Cleveland won the pennant that
season-the only flag it ever COPIED.
Now young Joey Sewell may not
have been the man of the hour" in
that case, but he at least did his
bit for the cause.
Since then the ex-collegian has
come to the front rank rapidly until
now he ranks we'll up in the list OF
the best in the shortstop field, while
at bat he tops them all.
Sewells all-round work this sea-
son has without Il doubt been II of
The features Of ne American League
campaign.
Lacking in the spectacular and
minus that Individual brilliancy
other players in the big show pos
sess, Sewell's work does not come In
for the amount of praise it deserves.
Nevertheless, he's playing a nifty
article of hall, and is proving a most
valuable asset to the Speaker en-
tourage.
Joey Sewell never may reach the
heights attained by Honus Wagner
and some of the other star shortstops
of by gone days. That might be ask
ing too much,
But If performances to date can
be taken as a criterion, he is almost
certain to emblazon his name in big
letters on baseball's roll of honor ere
he bids adleu to the pastime. -

SPEED BOATS
WILL FEATURE
Red Bank Boats Center of At
traction in Races this
Weekend

Pierre Proal, of the Monmouth
Boat Club, Red Bank, will be the
central figure at Sewaren next Sun
day, when the combined clubs of
Railway and Sewaren Yacht clubs
hold their regatta in connection with
the program of the Raritan Bay
Yacht Racing Association on the
Arthur Kill river.
MI. Proal Is the owner of several
speed boats capable of making forty
miles an hour, something seldom
e e in this vicinity. He has met
with misfortune in several of the
races he has entered this year, max
Ing it impossible for him to do his
stuff" At Keyport, Nj. Proal and
his mechanic barely escaped serious
injury when they were thrown from
their boat while rounding a marker
at a speed of forty miles an hour,
and at Perth Amboy on Sunday, July
8. the Red Bank yachtsman had to
swim to safety when his new racing
craft, the "Blackbird," caught fire
in local waters and was totally de-
stroyed.
In past years and up to the pres
ent time speed boats in this vicinity
were not known to make more than
twenty-five miles an hour and, with
Captain Proal over anxious to show
the people about here Just what a
real speed boat car do, some inter-
esting events will take place on Sun
day.
Another feature of the races on
Sunday will be the sailing canoe
event. Last season only one of these
C was Leld during the association
regattas and in this, first place was
captured by William Vincent, Of the
local club. According to informa-
ton, all of the members Of the asso-
citation will enter in the canoe sail
ing event at Sewaren in an effort to
take the trophy from the local
yachtsman, while local boat fans are
of the opinion that Vincent will hold
fast to the prize for some time.
Other events to take place are:
Cabin cruiser handicap, semi-cruiser
handicap, open boat handicap, speed
boat handicap, speed boat, 200 cubic
inch, handicap and a speed boat
event open for all.

COL0RED NINE
IN RETURN CD
%
Three Runs in Last Inning
Gave Amboys Victory in
Last Game

Three teel-s ago a three-run rally
in the Mi h inning enable the Perth
Amboy baseball nine to register a
5-4 victory over the Penn Red Caps
on the local field. This team has
been rebooked for a contest on the
local field this weekend.
The initial Penn Red Cap-hmboy
game this season was one of the
most interesting contests played
there in a good many seasons. Reeves
occupied the mound for the Penn
Red Caps and Daugherty handled
the slab work for the Amboys. The
visitors tailed one counter in the
first, Amboy evened matters in the
third and the visitors went into the
lead by scoring another counter in
the fourth.
For the next three innings the two
teams played sensational ball with
out a tally being registered. the Red
Caps breaking the ice by scoring two
runs in the eighth. Amboy discount
ed the latter rally by scoring one run
in the last of the session, and the
score stood Az.
Inthe last of the ninth the locals
made a final stand. The first batter
flied out, the next man singled, and
the third famed. Following the
strikeout the next~four batters lined
out singles and three runs were tall
lied, giving the locals five runs. The
Red Caps have eve beaten the
locals and they will make another
try to turn the tables Sunday.
A series with the Recreations of
Plainield is still pending. Manager
Oertzen of the Recreations is of the
opinion his team is worth twice as
much as the locals. Amboy fans
contend that the Plainielders will
have their hands full, trying to beat
the locals this summer. The fans of
Amboy and Plainfield are entitled to
seeing the two teams in action.
