Arter scalp of Mccarthy.
Those who are in close touch with
base ball affairs intimate strongly
that some faction is seeking McCar-
thy's scalp. If he can be unseated it
is figured one-third Of the opposition
to the draft can be annihilated and
that all the long boundary OF the
western half of the United States
again will be under domination OF the
majors. The majors do not care much
what may happen 20 base ball out
that way If they can escape giving
up the big prices they have had to
pay for players in the last three
years.
It is true that the majors do not
need uo pay those prices If they do
not wish to do SO. but they wish the
draft restored in order that the threat
of quick delivery before draft time
begins shall stand u bugaboo to
compel the coast to unload. The
other twO-thirds Of the opposition TO
the draft are centered ia President
Toole of the International and Presi-
dent Hickey of the American Associ-
alton. The latter organization is more
buyer and seller Of players after
development than d scout for players
in the bushes.
As to Hickey and TOole.
Hickey permits his league TO form
ulate his policy, and Toolc is not
much IN dread of the National League,
having acted as its attorney. Toole
will fight the draft on principle and
with the experience Of q man trained
to base ball, and Hickey will fight 1t
as long as the owners in the Ameri-
can Association figure that it is to
their interest u do SO.
The ousting of Mccarthy, however,

piished will almost surely change all

There Is No Substitute for Quality

Automobile bodies, like houses,
may be either strong, sturdy and
durable, or light, fimsy and weak.
Like houses, good bodies are ex-
pensive, and makeshifts are cheap.
Prices influence sales of automo-
biles, as they do of houses, but
highest quality and lowest price
are possible in neither.
There is no substitute for quality.
To cheaper quality of materials,
construction and finish is not
Studebaker policy. A makeshift
product is fatal to permanent sue

to withstand for many years the
exposure and use to which an auto
mobile is subjected.
Better bodies are not built by
any manufacturer nor borne by any
chassis. Studebaker's reputation is
at stake in body building.

WORKING FOR THE

The statement made by Mayor Donnely, of Trenton, regard
inc the progress on the ship canal work, is encouraging. As a re-
Sut of the bill introduced by Assemblyman Hoffman, turning the
money that the state received through the Morris canal deal over
to the State Board Of Commerce and Navigation TO be used to buy
tho ricbt Of way for the canal, interest in the waterway has been
renewed. New Jersey is making good her part of the canal con-
struetion; it remains for congress to keep faith with New Jersey.
It is a reflection on Perth Amboy, however, that although this
city is in a position to get the most benefit from the canal, all the
AGITATION and work in furthering the movement is being done by
otber municipalities. Perhaps the most active man in working
for the canal is the mayor of Trenton. Thoroughly alive, also, to
the possibilities of the waterway is the New Brunswick Chamber
of Commerce. A big mass meeting is to be held in New Bruins
wick shortly to boost the canal project. 1t will be interesting to
see how many attend from this city.
A great deal depends on the action taken at the next session
of congress whether the canal will be built or not. New Jersey
is not inclined to spend money on a right of way for a waterway If
the federal government is not interested. This means that there
will have to be a great deal of work done in Washington; numer-
ons trips by delegations of earnest citizens will have to be made,
and a great deal of influence will have to be brought to bear.
Without a Chamber of Commerce or other civic body for carrying
on such work, Perth Amboy is almost helpless. Are we going to
stand idly by and have our sister municipalities do all the work,
while we receive the lions share of the benefits after the canal
is buntG !
There are many angles to this canal proposition for Perth
Amboy to consider. Besides the great benefits that it will bring
to the city in the way of shipping and harbor development, we
must not overlook the fact that the route of the proposed canal
crosses Perth Amboys watershed, and the stream from which the
city gets its water will be cut in half by the canal. What this
will do to the city's water supply is a matter that must be given
much study. The rights of the city must be protected in every
way. But it will not do to wait until the contracts for the water
way are awarded before looking after these matters.
It may be true that the building of the canal seems a long
way of, yet with the movement now on foot, there is a possibility
that the next congress will take favorable action. Perth Amboy
may wake up after it is too late.
Perth Amboy evening news., 1923-06-25
BACKING THE MEMORIAL BRIDGE IDEA

The American Legion is getting behind the memorial bridge
idea. The Perth Amboy post, already on record as favoring it,,
adopted a new set of resolutions at its last meeting urging the
plan, and a committee was appointed to have the matter brought
before the county and state organizations.
The boys have not forgotten that the state promised a suit
able memorial at the close of the war. They see the other states
making good on the promises that they made, and they are be-
ginning to wonder about New Jersey. They understand, too, the
difficulties to be overcome. In solving the problem, the bridge
seems to be about as satisfactory as any suggestion yet offered.
The next thing is to make the legislature see it.
With a beautiful bridge spanning the greatest river wholly
within the state a bridge that links together the northern and
southern sections of the state, and that is used by thousands of
Jerseymen as well as tourists from all section of the country, the
possibilities of doing something worth while for the boys are great.
With the American Legion enthusiastically behind the project
and with the matter clearly presented to the State Highway
Commission, there is reason to believe that a memorial bridge
here is a possibility.
