SheridanS

The Keasbey Field Club travelled
to South Amboy yesterday afternoon
where they defeated the Sheridans of
that place and hung up their eighth
victory u of nine starts. The final
score was 7-5.
Gardella did the mound work for
the visiting team and allowed eight
hits while Hess, who pitched in place
of Primka for the South Amboy
team, allowed the visitors thirteen
safeties. TIE starring at the stick
was done by Primka of the Sheri-
dams, who secured three hits out of
four times at the plate, and Parsler,
of the Keasbey nine, who secured the
longest drive of the afternoon, a

"DOPEY" SMITH
STARTS AMBOY RALLY
WITH CIRCUIT CLOUT

Fred "Dopey'' Smith, first sacker
of the Perth Amboys at the present
time, is a great ~ballplayer but a ma
Jority of the fans of New Brunswick
are taking a long time to find this
out. Whenever the Landings of New
Brunswick play the local %represen-
tatives, and they have met-dve times
during the 1922-23 and the 1923-24
seasons, the county seat fans delight
in ''panning' the first baseman.
The second game of this years
series was played on the local field
yesterday and the Amboys won cas-
lily, Ia. 1t was Smiths home run
clout over the right center field
fence, just where the second pole
from the foul line is situated, that
enabled the locals to tie the score
at one all in the second and then
the team batted around once and
five men, registering nine hits and
nine runs. After the second there
was nothing to do but wait until the
Landings had their last turn at bat
in the ninth.
Slightly Loaded
The New Brunswick representa-
tives came down for this game with
several new faces, having fifteen
men in uniform. ~"Cannonbalp'
Bush, All .Collegian pitcher, and
Lee, a backstop, made up the bat
terry at the start of the tilt. Bush
lasted Throughout the first stanza
and until two men had been retired
in the second. Mickey Stuart, New
Brunswick boy. finished the game
and went big.
Daugherty started on the mound
for Amboy and the manner n which
he worked in the first and second,
gave the fans an opinion that it
was mighty lucky nine runs were
chalked up In the last half of the
second. He allowed seven hits,
walked four batters and famed two.
Lidgate led the locals attack,
making three singles in as many
trips to the plate, while McEnroe,
McAuliffe, Smith,. Loeser, and
Daugherty were credited with two
apiece. Judhas and L. Harkins made
two each for the vanquished COM
bination. Smith made a home III
cIout, McAuliffe connected for a dou-
BILE and Einhorn socked the apple
for a mighty triple.
Visitors Score
The Landings placed two men on
the sacks in the first, but the hit
in the pinch was lacking. McEnroe
singled and McAuliffe doubled in
Amboy's half of the opening inning,
and Einhorn grounded out, retiring
the side. A base on balls, a sacri-
fee and L. Harkins' single, gave
New Brunswick a run in the sec
ond.
Smith led off with his mighty
homer in the second. Loeser and
! Lidgate followed with hits, and
Dauaherty was hit by a pitched
ball The left fielder was forced at
home on Ruddy's grounder TO the

shcrtfie1d, and two runners came
across on McEnroe's second hit.
Rurnett singled and was forced at
second on McAuliffe'J grounder, Me-
Enroe going to third. The two
Macs scored on Einhorn's triple.
Smith walked, his second time up,
and Loeser's second hit scored Elm
horn. Singles by Lidgate and Daugh-
erty sent over twoSmore runs after
which Rudy famed, checking the
rally.
Hits by Smith, Lidgate and
Daugherty in the fourth gave the
locals their last two counters. An
errof and two singles resulted in the
Landings tallying two runs in the
fifth, and their last run was sent
across in the eighth on an error and
and a one base blow. The locals
made a double play in the ninth.

TRANSPORTATION.

There was paragraph In Mayor
paonessa's message which Is Of espeE
eial interest 20 those who have ape
preeiated his feeling In the past that
the public utilities commission was
doing all for the Connecticut company
and little for the people who desired
jitney service In certain portions OF
the city. II have noted with salts
faction" reads the message, That
the attitude OF the public utilities
commission towards jitney service In
New Britain has been favorable and
] believe this form OF transportation
will be OF great help in expanding
our city,"
Undoubtedly the Mayor had In
mind the recent granting OF tho right
by the jitneys to extend their serv-
ice In the North End. II Is pos
sible, too. that he expects some favor
able action by the utilities commits
sion when and II the matter OF iitney
service in the Jerome street section
Ia again brought up. That there Is
need of such service out there quite
as much as there was need OF extend
ing the service in the Carlton street
locality, there would seem to be- 1T
tie question. There Is splendid OPP
portunity for further development in
that quarter. beyond Jerome street,
were there better means OF transpor-
tation.
And in connection with the atti-
tudc of the commission mention
should be made, in fairness, OF the
petition approved by the common
council to allow the American Hard
ware Corporation to lay a ecrossover
track from the south to the north
side Of Park street Just below Frank
lin square. or course this track Will
be a great benefit to the corporation,
and the city quite properly desires
to do anything within reason 10 con-
snlt the welfare of one OF its great
industries. But person has to STAND
but for moment on Franklin
square and note the beauty OF the
grounds OF the American Hardware
Corporation about its offices there, to
realize that it is giving UP something
of considerable material and artistic
value when 1t agrees, as it has done,
70 allow a strip to be cut from those
grounds in return for the favor OF
The crossover track, In order to make
]. fhe city's thoroughfares at that point
more convenient The arrangement
seems to be fair one for the cor
poration and for the city, but the
corporation's Willingness to cooper
ate with the city Is no less than the
city's willingness to favor the corpo-
ration.

LAWYERS AND CLAIMS.

This delicate matter is here COM
mented upon purely In the interests
OF the individuals who make up the
neonle of the city. There are three
classes commemorative individuals OF
the city, the lawyers as a class, ana
the city government. 1t would be 10
the city's interest to have no lawyers
except the corporation counsel kno"
ANYTHING about claims against the
city. 1t would be to the lawyers IN
forests to have all claims against the
city placed in the hands of some
lawyer living In this city. This COM
ment is made with the sincere desire
70 state what is best for the indi-
viduals Of the city themselves; not
what is best for the lawyers; not what
is best for the city treasury.
II was stated at the common coun-
ell meeting Wednesday evening that
one member, at least, wanted the
people to know they they would get
lust as much from the city if they
were not represented by lawyer;
that the claims committee would
treat everyone fairly. Another mem
Der doubted If the claimant In a Ger
tain case would have Jared as well
without a lawyers services. IT is not
absolutely true to say that every
claimant in every case would get just
ms much If not represented by law
yer, chiefly because every claimant
does not know to what amount he or
she is entitled. IT is the business of
the lawyer to know.
On the other hand in certain cases
the claimant might get more from
the claims committee If not repre-
scented by a lawyer. Granted that the
claims committee wants to be fair.
Granted that the common council
would favor giving one who was In
,ured something even though that in
iured person had 70 legal claim
against the city. Nevertheless. in
certain cases, the ability Of a lawyer

WHAT ABOUT THE MEN?

There is plenty to think about in
the mere news that women arc be-
coming "steeple-jills," bricklayers,
electricians, as we'll OF course, as
physicians, lawyers merchants and
executives. Few sensible people now
adays declare that women are not
fitted by intelligence to take their
places at the top of any line of activ-
ity, providing they are physically
able to do so. 1t may be granted,
and willingly, that they may bring
new vision, new inspiration to any
nrofession or calling. 1t may be
granted. too, that women have a
right to express themselves in activ-
tiles formerly within the province oil
men alone. Women are taxed II
they hold property; they are obliged
to obey the laws of the land; they
are required to follow customs ap-
rrovcd by public sentiment. They

laid down, and to make their living

lines Of activity which interest them

But Immediately comes the ques-
ton what effect will all this have
upon men? Not as complaint is IL
asked; not as a plea that men be
allowed to keep on doing certain
work which men have done always.
This is not the point Of view at all.
The light in which the question IS
asked is that light which shows
clearly the effect women in the past
have had on the lives Of men. What
