who came to us with Pipgras from
the Boston club, went through the
last Texas League season without
an error in 1874 games. If he can

Higgins is satisfied that Ruth

Higgins could use another first
class man who could play second,
third or short and hit American
League pitching.
II am not satisfied to stand pat
on my present outfit" Higgins de-
clared. I'VE have enough men to
fill the positions, but we need re-
serve strength. My greatest needs
are two more good outfielders, two
infielders, two pitchers and third
catcher.
II think I have the catcher in
Bengough. He looks like a smart
ball player and he gained the neces-
sary experience with the Buffalo

was in the South Atlantic League

Ten scouts from Troop z under the
leadership of Scoutmaster Conneil
and Assistant Scoutmaster Melko
spent two weeks in Camp Watching
at the Kahnowahke Lakes in Inter-
state Park.
Several parents nights were held
at the high school. The relationship
with neighboring councils was very
active; the troop spent several week
ends with the Elizabeth scouts at
Camp Davidson in the Watchung
Mountains, they visited the newly
formed scout troop at Grasselli Park
and that troop was the guests OF
Troop z In Perth Amboy.
In October, 1921, the former MEM
bers of Troop 8, under the leadership
of S~coutmaster George Anderson
registered Troop 3. This left Troop
z with only a small membership. In
December of the same year MIR.
Hulse left town and John Shoe be-
came chairman of the troop COM
mittee.
When in February, 1922, Mr.. Con-
nell had TO leave town, the troop
committee was facing the hard task
of finding another scoutmaster. For
eight months their efforts were fruit
less and il it had not been for the
untiring interest and active WORK
done by the members of the troop
committee the troop might have
faced its collapse. But the three
men, who had scouting at heart and
realized the great value of the move
ment, accomplished the almost. i'm
possible task of keeping the troop
alive until a successor to Mr.. Con-
nell was found in Mr.. v. Main, in
October, 1922.
Only four scouts were left, but the
troop committee in conjunction with
". Main recruited for the troop and
with such success that the council is
looking with great expectation to q
bright and active future of troop q.
Much has been said about the pros
verbal inactivity of the average
troop committee. but Messrs. Shoe,
Steele and Boehm have shown In a
wonderful way that we still have
me in Perth Anboy who are ready
to help push a good thing to its goal.
At the present time Troop 2 has:
1 life scout, l merit badge scout,
4 second class and s tenderfoot
scouts. They meet on Monday nights
In the gymnasium Of the high school.
