Future Action.

The Estelline Is. d. Journal prints
the following:
"A Swede in Minnesota took out a

IN EFFORT TO EDUCATE ALL
Legion Department Commander OF
Arkansas Is Carrying Gospel to
Every Section of State.

o. L. Bodenhammer, department
commander of the American Legion
in Arkansas, is making a determined
effort to aid in bringing about educa-
ton of men, women and children. b.
denhammer has been carrying the Cos
pei of education into every section Of
his state, and has aroused the interest
of the citizenry in the question.
One of the most interesting phases
the campaign has been the work of
the Legion leader with the school
children of the state. At one meeting
in Fort Smith, Mr.. Bodenhammer
spoke to 1000 school children using
patriotism as his theme.
"Ten million American-born men
and women now In this country are
not able to read and write" he told
the children. "The American Legion
stands for better education as protec-
ton to the future citizens Of Amer
ica."
Following the address, a stand of
national colors was presented to the
school as a gift from the local Legion
post.
At a recent conference of educa-
tional officials of southern states on
illiteracy, Commander Bodenhammer
declared that illiteracy stood opposed
to the development of a patriotic citi
Zenship; that it was detrimental to
the building Of citizenship of de-
tenders; that it prevented voting
citizenship; and that it impeded the
progress Of a law-abiding citizenship.

HOME RUN CRAZE AGAIN
SHOWN BY BALL STARS

The home-run craze does not It
the stroke of all ball players. Major
league manager have said that
many batters have ruined their
value as batters for the desire to get
toe-hold and sock it out of the lot.
One of the first moves to be made
Ly Art Fletcher as the new manager
of the Phillies is to change the stride
of Frank Parkinson, his second
baseman. Possessing a pair of broad
shoulders, Parkinson had an idea
that he could knock them as far as
Babe Ruth, Kenny Williams, Bob
Meusel and others.
There were times when Parkinson
connected, but then again the strike
out record in the National League
for 1929 tells the story of Parkin-
sons home run swing He created a
National League record for strike
outs when he whitfield 9S times.
Although Parkinson was in the
fence-busting class occasionally,
getting Is doubles. sly triples and Is
home runs, he failed to score many
runners from third for the Phillies
because he went down on strikes.
Here's a youngster who has the
making of a great ball player" re-
marked Fletcher. recently. II didn't
want to tell him the mistake he was
making last season because I wasn't
the manager, but it will be different
now.
There are times when a single
is better than a home run. ] watch
ed Parkinson as a batter and he
never changed his stance. Whether
he started or had two strikes it was
one way-a tight grip right at the
end of the handle.
II can truthfully say that not
once in my career did ever go up
to the plate with the desire TO pole
home run. I crowded the edge Of
the plate, choked the bat almost in
half and made the pitcher put 'em
over. guess I Sot to first by being
hit more than any other batter.
There are types for everything.
1T is different with fellows like
Babe Ruth. Cy Williams, Kenny
Williams, Rogers Hornsby and
those birds. Not for Parkinson,
however"
Parkinson created another Ma
tional League record last season,
setting a high mark for assists with
SOS at second base. The American
League record is SIS, turned by Ma
poleon Lajoie back in 1908.

out the forty minutes Of play the
Amboyans were hard pressed to

work exhibited by the visitors was
a revelation to behold. Never before
did the down-staters see such a
marvellous display of team co-ordi-

court prevented the Crimson and

larger score.
The game began in whirlwind fash

lead on goals from the field by Nc
Chesney and Luganni. The Free

with five minutes to go in the first
half. but the homeeters had not

IntersectionaI rivalry will be rife

Both of these female quintets have
been playing great ball this season
and each claims a victory over the
other. This game will be the rubber
and from present indications should
furnish the fans with thrills aplenty.
The Carteret representatives have
a. more impressive record than their
South Amboy rivals, being rated as
one of the six best female quintets
of the East but the fact that the
South Amboy lassies downed them
once this season is an indication that
they are not in the least awed by the
Carteret teams big time reputation.
The South Amboy outfit will be

With Burnett as field leader,
local fandom will be given the op-
portunity of seeing real team work
displayed in the field and at bat.
Lack of signals and capable field
leader has caused considerable un-
faVorab bic comment in lacal baseball
circles in former seasons. Burnett
managed the Recreation baseball
team OF Plainfield in 1921 so his
Anboy assignment will not be new
to him.
Just what position Burnett VIII
play here has not been decided, but
if Manager Poulsen gets the other
infielder he is after, the field leader
will be stationed at second base.
Fred "Dopey" Smith will be at first
and Harry McEnroe at third. The
local manager is dickering for a
pitcher. infielder ana outfielder at
the present time and these players
will be acquired before the end of
this week.
The activities of Manager Poulsen
to date show that he intends to run
the local ballfield in q business like
manner, so that the rams can witness
real baseball contests. He intends
to book attractions every bit as
strong as his own combination.
Burnett, it is said, was the high
est priced man on the Recreation
squad last year and his salary de-
nands were responsible for his not
signing with the Plainfield represen-
tatiye team this year. Burnett
jumped the Springfield team in 1920
and this is the only reason he is not
in organized baseball today.

Pete BURNETT WILL
LEAD PERTH AMBOYS
ON BASEBALL FIELD

One of the most important an
Inducements made By Manager Ed
Mooney" Poulsen since it was made
known that he had been awarded
the lease for the Raritan Copper
Works baseball field, is contained in
a statement issued last night re-
garding the signing of Pete Bur-
nett, an infielder who is to manage
the Perth Amboys on the field this
summer.
In the history OF local semi-pro
ball the absence of a capable field
manager has shown itself. Burnett,
a resident of Plainfield, is without
a doubt one of the smartest base
ball leaders obtainable at the present
time.
He will be remembered as the
hard hitting, shortfieId performer Of
the Recreations of Plainf1eld last
season, and local fans can recall the
peppery manner in which Burnett,
as captain Of the Recreations, di-
rected the offensive and defensive
play Of the Union county team.
Burnett is twenty-three years old
was born in Newark and there start

a member of the Newark Tabs. He

The Perth Amboy high school fe-

down the curtain for the season this
afternoon when they hook up in the

strong sextet of st. Patricks high

venge.
In the game at Elizabeth the Grim
son and White were without the SER
vices Of two star players namely the
Misses Hoy and Schultz, the whirl-
wind forwards. They will be in the

followers of the sextet. The splendid
coaching OF Miss Elizabeth Kirkpat-
rick is beginning to show and re-
suits are being obtained.
If a win is recorded today it will
be the fifth consecutive win for the
Amboy forces. The unexpected re-
turn to form and the string Of VIC

usual success. At the beginning of
the season the team performed in
streaks and all the regulars were
not always available but all this has
been overcome and as a result they
have a winning streak to boast of.
