1T is SURPRISING that men with
seeming intelligence, persist in writ
ing statements for publications, which
are neither facts, or borne out by law.
The person who writes editorials for
the Sussex Journal, issued weekly
at Georgetown, has neither regard for
the truth, or even knowledge of the
laws under which the people live and
conduct their business. From time to
time, we have called public attention
to statements made by the Sussex
Journal, which were either deliber-
ate mis-statements, or ignorance of
the laws. Without doubt, the public
does not read any statements made by
that paper, or they look upon it's edi-
torials as so much vaporing of an I'M
balanced mind 1t is unfortunate that
the county seat has not weekly
newspaper to command the attention
of the people of Sussex county, or one
that will staunchly and intelligently
defend government and principals of
administration. There is opportunity
for a real newspaper at Georgetown
that will build up a public opinion for
honesty in all government, fairness
and prosperity of the courtyard |
above all, respect for law.
1T is CAUSE FOR CONGRATULA-
TION that the financial affairs of the
United States Treasury give promise
of surprising receipts from the many
sources of revenue which this coun-
try draws. It was expected that a
deficiency would confront the balance
sheet at the end of the present fiscal
year, but this has been changed to a
surprisingly large surplus.
Secretary Mellon more than doubles d.
the promise of a $6O,OOO,OOO surplus
for the Federal Treasury in the cur
rent fiscal year, made last week by :
Budget Director Lord. He figures the
probability of an excess of SIPS, OOO,-
600. c
But important and enjoyable as this =
is, it is not half the story. \
The issue of $4OO,OOO,OOO Treasury d
notes to mature March Is, 1927, is the .
incident of an unprecedented =
feat of national fianciering under di- Il
rection of the Pennsylvania who sits u
rs Secretary of the Treasury, and for Ii
100000 year, gives to the nation the g
benefits of native ability and acquired u
in finance, the experience of g
life time of achievement. IL
With this loan, which will be snap Ie
Jed up as soon as it is offered, the 81
treasury will be able to take care of u
he last of the $4,OOO,OOO,OOO victory IN
Dan. The entire short term debt of Ell
he United States will have been re- Gu
nanced with maturities so planned no
nat they will coincide with the great pi'
TX payments, and so distributed that III
lere will be no serious problem con-
'onting the Treasury until the first VIZ
the Liberty Loan NATURES comes 81
1928. By that time, it is expected
lat there will have been such a re- rel
Iction in the net debt that refund 'io
g will be comparatively simple SCI
after. wv
The total reduction of interest-bear- 10
g debt from April 80, 1921, to June iii'
!, 1923, will be virtually $1,000 OOO,- III
o, retirement of Federal securi- pai
IS at the rate of $75O,OOO,OOO year. enc
the present rate of income at the ii0i
such reduction can be a in0
process. 'eil

FIGHT SHOWN
Willard Firpo Pictures at
Strand Theatre Starting
This Afternoon.

Starting this afternoon and con-
tinuing through Saturday motion
pictures of the Jess Willard-Luis
which was staged at Boyle's Thirty
July ~, will be shown at the Strand
theatre in this city.
The Giant of the Argentine kayoed
Willard in the eighth round of a
scheduled twelve round encounter.
A great many of the boxing fans
from this vicinity who were fortunate
enough to be at the ringside on the
night of the fight, will go to the
Strand to see the fight on the screen.
Reports from other cities where the
pictures were shown are to the effect
that you obtain the same feeling as
If you were sitting in a ringside seat.
Followers Of Willard, the former
champion, who started his comeback
In May by registering a kayo victory
over Floyd Johnson, will be given
their last opportunity during these
three days to see the former ring
idol in the roped arena. Willard
lost his heavyweight title to Jack
Dempsey, the present champion, at
Toledo in 1919.
In addition to the Willard-Firpo
pictures, the Strand will show star
ting today, pictures of the sensational
one round knockout scored by Floyd
johnson over Jack McAuliffe in the
bout which was put on to prevent
the fans from rushing the exits after
the Willard-Firpo go. Motion pic
lures of previous championship box
ing contests attracted considerable
Interest in this section.

OUTFIT
IN RETURN co
Receive Second Crack at Lin
den Team This Sunday
Afternoon at Linden.

Steve Anthony's Fords Field Club
nine will return to Linden on Sum
day afternoon and endeavor to hand
the representative team of that place
a severe lacing, so as to make up for
an earlier setback received at the
hands of Manager Woodward's col
lection of diamond performers.
Last Sunday afternoon the Linden
team was beaten by the Dixie Col
ored Giants and their fourteen game
winning streak broken. In the four
teen contests. the Fords team put up
the best battle and but for a rally
just prior to the calling Of the game
on account of rain, would have regis
tered a victory.
The lineup of the Fords team will
be considerably strengthened for
Sundays encounter and Manager An
thony is confident that his charges
will return with the bacon. Ten
Eyck pitched the first game against
the Union county balltossers.
In a week or two, the third game
of the series between the Keasbey
and Fords nine will be played on the
local field. Anthony's players car
ried off a victory in the first game
and the opposing team won the sec
ond game.
Manager Anthony has several big
games carded for the balance of this
season.

JACK BENTLEY GOING GOOD
AFTER POOR GIANT DEBUT
BY NEA Service

NEW YORK, Aug. Jack Bent
ley, who cost the New York Giants
SOS, 900, and who was hailed in the
spring as an exploded phenom, a
high-priced lemon, is living down
the odium of a bad start.
Because of salary differences
Bentley was late in reporting to the
Giants. He was many pounds over
weight when he Joined McGraw's
club and needed more than the few
weeks given him to get into shape.
AS a result of poor condition
Bentley's first three or four starts
in the National League were sad at
fairs. 1t really seemed as IL Nc
Graw had been bunked Critics were
ready to place Bentley in the also
ran class.
Just when a majority of the ex-
perts were weakening on him, Bent
ley began to show the form that
made him the town hero In Balti-
more. His pitching record shows
that in the first IA games worked
he turned in nine victories.
Bentley has not confined his ac-
tivities to pitching, he has been a
whale at the bat. Used as a pinch
hitter when not pitching he is slug
ging the ball well over the 400
mark.
It's beginning to look as II Nc
GraW didn't get stung after all

BURNETT HEADS
NEW COMBINE
PlainfieId Outfit to Play in
Queen City Starting To-
morrow Night.
An announcement

An announcement in a recent
Aedition of the Plainf1eld Courier
News is to the effect that a Plain
field baseball team organized by
Pete Burnett, well known field man
ager of the Perth Amboys, will play
its first game at Recreation field,
PIainfield tomorrow night. The
Bronx Giants will cross bats with
the Plainfleld in this contest.
For the opening game, Manager
Burnett will use Martin of High
Bridge, or Daugherty of the local
team in the box and Lidgate behind
the plate. O'Keefe of Plainfeld will
play first base, Burnett will be al his
favorite post, Rudy of the locals at
short, and McEnroe of the locals or
Walla of Plainfield at third. Cook,
of High Bridge and Eddie Einhorn
and Dixon of Plainfield, will patrol
the outer gardens.
The Recreations Of Plainfield, the
combination Burnett formerly played
with, is not playing twilight base
ball this summer, and Manager Bur-
nett therefore feels that the under
taking should be a ucces financial
ly. The second sacker is quite pop
ular in the Queen City.
Organization of the combination
by Burnett will mean that a number
of players on the Amboy roster, will
be given at least three contests a
week, figuring that there will be one
twilight go on the local field each
week. The Mcconnell Giants may
oppose the Plainf1elds in the latter's
second start.

works baseball tossers probably will
play the twice postponed first game
of their annual series with the South
Amboy P. R. r. r. Y. NJ. c. A, nine
on the Raritan Copper works field
this Saturday afternoon. These two
teams started a game on the South
Amboy field several weeks ago, but
a half game could not be completed
and last Saturday the two combina-
lions were not given a chance to
get a start.
If the contest is played this Sat
urday, Kuran, HIrley's spitbal1 tos-
ser, may be sent against Art Young,
local southpaw, of the South AM
boy pitching staff. Both Of these
Hingers have been travelling along
at a good pace so far this summer.
The Ingots will be seen in action
at South Amboy on the last Sat
urday of this monoth, in the second
game of this series. The Dupont
Team from Parlin will play the In
COTS on the local field two weeks
from Saturday and the second con-
test of this series will be played, at
Parlin on the first Saturday in Sep
TENDER.
Manager Hurley is still trying to
orange a game or a series with the
Michelin Tire Company nine Of Mill
town. The tiremakers have several
big games arranged at the present
time, one with the Amboys and
others with the East Milestone, Land
Ings of New Brunswick and the
Aquehongas OF T~ottenville.
The American Smelling & Refining

PERTH AMBOY OUTFIT
PLAYS ROYAL GIANTS
HERE THIS EVENING

Al record crowd for a twilight en-
counter in this city is expected at
the Raritan Copper Works field to-
night to see the Royal Colored

locals schedule this season, the
Giants were victorious, 7-3. To-
nights game will start at $50
o'clock.
"Stringbean" Williams, who pitch

'ment again tonight, while Daugh-
erty is expected to do the twirling
for the home club. The Royals are
one of the leading contenders for
the colored championship of the
east, all of the strongest colored
teams in this section of the country
being represented in this circuit this
season.
Manager Poulsen is working hard
to make twilight baseball go here,
and inasmuch as he is booking COM
binations in the class of the House
of David, Royal Giants, Meadow
brooks of Newark, Doherty Silk Sox,
etc, he should be given the proper
support. The crack Newark aggre-
cation has been carded for a week
from tomorrow night.
Since the start of the locals pres
ent streak and in fact since the start
of the season, the fans have been
yelling for the Royals, Cubans,
Meadowbrooks and teams of like
strength. When these teams appear
here, the fans should turn out in
proper numbers. Local magnates
dating back at least five years, have
tried to bring the Meadowbrooks to
this city and were unsuccessful.
The Royals will take the field

GRANTHAM AND COLLINS
LEADING BASE STEALERS
BY NEA Service

by NEA service
CHICAGO, Aug. FIT Ia rather
interesting fact that the two leading
base stealers in the major leagues
should be second basemen and both
members of Chicago clubs.
Eddie Collins, the veteran second
sacker of the White Sox, is show
ing the way in the American League
in the matter of thefts, while Grant
ham, a recruit, playing his first sea-
son as a regular, leads the National
League in base running.
Incidentally it might be mentioned
that the two players to press Col
ms and Grantham for the base
a<@aling honors are outfielders.
Johnny Mostil of the Sox is hot on
the trail of Collins, while Max
Carey of Pittsburgh is close on the
heels of Grantham.
For years Carey has been the pre-
mier base runner of the National
League and he hopes to eventually
overtake Grantham.

EASILY Win y
CONTEST Of

Pitcher Wilson of the Staten Is
land Elk baseball team of stapIeton
had the Aquehonga b~alltossers of
Tottenville eating out of his hand in
a twilight contest on the Tottenville
diamond last night. As a result of
his masterful pitching, and the abil-
ity of his teammates to get to the
offerings of Austin Bull Hornsby
of this city. the Elks evened their
annual Staten Island championship
series with Manager Kreischer's
outfit. The final score of last nights
game was I'll.
The Aquehongas had an easy time
winning the first game of the series
which was played on Sisco field,
Stapleton about two weeks ago. The
series opener was played on a Tues
day night and the Elks were schedu-
led to appear at Tottenville the fol-
lowing night. This contest was put
off until last night to enable the
Elks to bolster up.
The home team drew first blood
by tallying their only counter in the
second frame. A base pm balls, an
out and two wild throws enabled
Abrogast to go over with the Aque-
hongas only run of the engagement.

more were added in the fifth as a
result of a single which was follow
ed by Backstop Arlington's home run

ball hitting the house on the outside
of the fence.
An error by Abrogast and two
hits gave the Elks two o runs
in the eigl.sn and their final run
was made in the last session when
a double and three singles rebound
ed off the visitors warclubs. One
man was caught at the plate in the
ninth inning. Three of the Elks
