Carteret Civic Body
Considering Plan TO
Annex Port Reading

CARTERET, Feb. 5.-The Carter
ct Chamber of Commerce had a
business session Friday night in the
office of Maxwell Sosin. The anncXa-
ton of Port Reading by the borough
of Carteret, the soldiers memorial.
undermining the present telephone
system, the garbage situation and
public library were among the chief
topics discussed at the meeting.
The annexation of Port Residing
was said to be favored by the resi-
dents of that part of Woodbridge
township. Sentiment of such a move
was secured by members OF the
chamber of commerce who made
preliminary investigation in this di-
rection. Before any further move
is advocated, the members agreed to
continue the investigation to see if
the annexation of Port Reading
would benefit the borough material
ly and financially. When concrete
data is at hand, the Chamber OF
Commerce will present them to the
borough for its consideration.
A large number of inquiries were
received from industrial plants ir
the country requesting information
as to factory sites, employment mar
ket, and general belief prevailed
that new industries will shortly in
wade the Carteret district.
The chamber of m Las
put itself on record as favoring the
Soldiers Memorial plan for this
borough. The sum of $4,000 that
can be appropriated by the borough
for that purpose will be urged for
use in the erection of the orial
and not for the ground. A rumor
has been circulated that a citizen has
offered to donate the ground for the
memorial.

Sisler injured the muscles Of the

He played in two of the games with

In running he was forced to hold
the arm in rigid position. That
greatly curtailed his speed.
In one instance he hit into a dou-

the game. Sisler is seldom doubled

Be Informed j.

the Cincinnati club elected to bring
Benton back to the big show.
When it seemed as if the deal was
about to be closed, President john
son of the American League came
forth with evidence in the case that
held up the deal.
Now it is said the Cincinnati club
has decided to let the matter drop
since both major league presidents
have decreed Benton is undesirable.
What's the big idea? If Benton
can't play in the majors he should
not be permitted to play in the min
ors. If tolerated by the minors. he
certainly has the right to advance
to the majors.

Billy Evans Says

The Intentional pass has long been
a one of contention in base ball cir
cles. Is it good thing for baseball
to have some pitcher intentionally
pass the star hitter in order to take
q chance on less formidable bats
man?
Good hitters are paid fancy sal
airy for their aility to swat the ball.
The public pays to see the good hit
tiers do that very thing. Yet a rule
of baseball deprives the batsman OF
the right, and robs the fan Of the
big thrill. seeing their favorite bats
man hit in a pinch.
An intentional pass on the part of
the pitcher can bring about such a
condition. Such an act is usually re-
ferred to as baseball strategy. There
are many fans who dislike the inten-
tional pass. eFi
The other day I received a very
interesting letter. from a well-read
fan, who offers very unique idea
to eliminate the intentional pass.
am taking the liberty Of reprinting
the important part of the communi-
cation that deals directly with the
big idea, eliminating the intentional
pass.
MAKE a rule that whenever
batsman has received base on balls
he can, at his opinion, continue at
bat, and if he then received another
base on balls, he can take two bases
instead of one, and still have the OPP
ton of remaining at at; and it he
received q third base on balls; take
three bases.
"In order to make this option OF
some value, it could be understood
that if first base were occupied at
the time of the first pass, the base
| runner there could move up a base,
and other base runners move ahead
if focred. This same thing would
apply if the batsman gets a second
base on balls.
Assume a tie score in the later
innings of close game, a man on
! first and third, one out and Ruth at
bat. Under. present conditions, an
intentional pass would put three
men on bases, make a force play to
any base available to the defense;
possible double play at number OF
points and weaker batsman at bat.
all factors in favor of the defense.
"Under the suggested rule, after
a base on balls to Ruth, the man on
first moves to second, no force plays
are then open anywhere, and the
pitcher is still faced by Ruth. A
possible second pass (moving ahead
the man on second), would force in
a run, leave man on third, and the
pitcher still faced with the problem
of dealing with Ruth if the batsmen
decides to stay at bat. He can, II
he elects, take second and leave the
burden of scoring. base runners to
the next man on the batting order.
"This plan would at once do away
with intentional passes and force
the pitcher to pitch to the batsman,
thereby very much increasing the
value Of the hard hitter to his team
at critical moments.
II "The situation would work itself
out with only one base occupied II
. the batsman should exercise his op-
; ton and take thre passes. OF course
IL at any time the batsnian hits the
ball he must abide by the result OF
that action in the regular way"
