SCHLIEBNER MAKING GOOD
AS SISLER'S UNDERSTUDY

ST. LOUIS,-George Sisler was
voted the most valuable player In
the American League in 1922.
Eye trouble has kept Sisler out
Of the game this year Dutch"
Schlebner is acting as his under
study. at first base for the st. Louis
Browns. 1t is the toughest assign
ment in baseball.
Schliebner was grabbed by Foil
from Brooklyn as a last resort. He
was the only first sacker available.
Unable to hit in the National. he
had been relegated to the bench.
National League critics rated
Schliebner a fair fielder and not
much better than a 200 hitter in
the majors. A fast ball inside was
said to be his weakness.
Manager Fohl took a chance. In
side of a week he had changed
Schliebner's style at bat and the
averages show that he is hitting
close to 800.
Had it not been for the Browns
dire need of a first baseman, Schlieb-
ner would now be back in the
minors, despite the fact that he has
proved he is of big league caliber.
Schliebner had the ability but
needed much coaching, which he re-
ceived under Foil. His showing as
Sisters understudy has won him a
place with the Browns even IL Sisler
should return to the game.

From the first bell Dundee bat

Here Last Evening

In a game unparalleled with ex-
element and rivalry the Perth Am
boy High School Independent nine
for the second time this year was
handed a .shutout at the hands of
Hymie Hochheiser and his South
Amboy crew. This time "Hoch"
pitched for the Y. N. G. A. nine of
that place and his sweet dreams of
revenge over the locals were realiz-
ed. The final score after seven in
nings Of play was 30.
Had not Andy Seaman secured two
hits off the deliveries of the cross
river ace, Hochheiser would have
had a no-hit performance to his rec
ord. The local team threatened only
once and then it's rally IA squashed
as soon rs it began. In the third in
ming three lei in a ROY singled and
two runs resulted while in the next
inning a hit, an infield out wild
throw gave them the last run.
The game was replete with thrills
at all times and gave the spectators
a thrill as each team pulled off
snappy plays time after time. For
the first time in a long while the
locals had their full strength. Hoch-
heiser allowed two hits while Neds-
wicki was touched for six, three COM
ing at one time. The game yester-
day was played at the Copper Works

HATCH
IS REPORTED
Thousands of Birds are
Hatched at New Jersey
State Game Farms

With the largest hatch ever re-
corded at the State Game Farm, at
Forked River, supplemented by sue
cessful activities at the branch game
farms and with an auxiliary plan
whereby eggs for Matching are dis
tributed to farmers in approved
locations, the State Fish and Game
Commission is making record pro-
gress in it's campaign to speedily in
crease the distribution of ringneck
peasants on cunning grounds
through New Jersey.
At the game farm, superintendent
Duncan Dunn reports a hatch of
1900 young birds, this year, while
a total of 5000 were Matched at the
Burlington and Monmouth county
game farms. In addition to these
birds, which will be reared and
liberated under direction of wardens,
the commission is trying u a new
method of distributing pheasant
eggs in season to farmer-sportsmen.
These eggs are Matched on the farms
under domestic fowls and the young
birds are given free run of the fields.
It is the opinion of wardens that the
majority of these farm-reared
pheasants will revert to a wild state
before they reach maturity and will
add materially to the game re-
sources. This plan is said by game
officials to have been developed sue
c~essfully in other states. Appro i
mately $500 pheasant eggs were
distributed among New Jersey farm
rs this year and If the experiment
proves satisfactory. the plan will be
extended next year.
The interesting flocks of young
game birds at the Forked River
game farm are attracting many
visitors. In addition to the phea-
SAINTS, herds of deer and flocks of
wild turkeys, wild ducks and wild
geese make this farm a point of in
terest for hundreds of motoring
tourists along the Shore road in
Ocean county.

During the general lull in scholas-
tic sports all over the country, it
would be well to consider the sports
program at the local high school.
Besides the appointment of a new
coach, the adoption of a four sport
program, the twenty game winning
streak of the basketball team and
the hasty resignation of former
Coach Robert S. Waddell, there
hasn't been much stirring in schol-
astic circles in this city. In order
to put the high school athletic sit
uation here in the real light, each
phase of the problem will be taken
up and discussed from all angles.
Not until the last several years
were athletics such an important
part of the school routine as it is
today. True, too much athletics
serves as a boomerang for poor
scholastic work, but it is also point
ed out that the more the physical
development of the child the more
active and stimulating his brains
become and his ability to handle
larger problems increases. Some
students enter athletics and put it
ahead OF school work but before
long their mistake asserts itself. At
The local school faculty supervision
IS very strict, probably the most
stringent in the state. A pupil here
Is not passed because of his or her
athletic ability. Although it seems
ut times that the faculty becomes
almost tyrannical in its actions, the
teachers are always working for the
best interests of their charges.
Nh
After a seven-year layoff the
great autumnal sport was resumed
last year under the direction OF
Coach Waddell. The men had to
be taught the rudiments of the
game and a foundation laid for the
sport in future years. From all ap-
pearances the coach succeeded. Al
though he will not be there to reap
the harvest, the boys in the home
of the Crimson and White are well
versed in the game now. Two wins,
two losses and a tie comprised the
record of last years varsity. Next
season an ambitious path has been
laid out for the squad as some lead
Ing teams are already booked. Last
year a notable win was scored over
Freehold high, winners of the class
B flag the season previous.
Another pleasing thing that the
return Of football has done is to re-
new relations with New Brunswick
high, which has been booked for
a clash on the gridiron for Column
bus day. The two schools have not
played each other for several years
except in Independent contests.
Four county teams will probably
appear on the high school list. New

River and either Metuchen or Wood.

Keep Pace
With Evolution

ARWIN declared that the human race was merely
an evolution of the monkey tribe. Some people
agree with him. Others do not.
But there is no denying that even within the mem
DRY of most of us, there has been considerable of an evo-
luton in the human mode of living. And today, this evo-
luton is buzzing along faster than ever.
There has never been a time when conditions changed
so rapidly-when life bettered itself so consistently. New
comforts and conveniences are coming in all the time. And
the rapidity with which they are invented and put before
us vitality affects us all.
To take advantage of these things, you must keep your
self informed. You must know not only what they are,
but also how much they cost and where and how to get
them.
The only way you can know this is to be a regular
reader of advertisements.
Advertisements tell of all that the world is doing
to make you more comfortable, your work easier, your
methods better, your clothing and food problems less irk-
some. They tell you how you can save time-and effort
and money in the selection of the things that make life
worth while.
