AMBOYS CANCEL GAME
CARDED WITH NEWARK
FOR FRIDAY EVENING

Inasmuch as Friday of this week,
will be a day of mourning through
out the country, President Harding
being buried on that day, Manager
Edward Poulsen of the Perth AM
boy baseball team has decided to put
off his twilight engagement with the
Meadowbrooks of Newark until
Monday night of next week.
Major league baseball contests
were called off Friday last, the day
following the death of the President,
! and big league officials have decided
1not to run on Friday of this week,
the day of burial. The President
was a great fan, and Baseball was
one of his most popular sports. 1t
Is believed he attended more base
ball contests during his stay in the
White House, than any previous,
president.
Local officials have asked the resi-
dents of the town 20 consider this
Friday as a day of mourning and 1t
Is no more than right that the local
baseball magnate should comply with
the resolution of the city fathers,
The crack Newark team, consid-
cred a logical contender for the
state semi-pro title, has never ap-
peared on a local field and it would
be poor policy to bring the combi-
nation here on a date when the real
fans would remain away to mourn
the death of their President and a
real baseball fan. BY putting the
game over until Monday night every
one will be given the opportunity
of seeing the great Newarkers in
action.

WASHINGTON, Aug. SIS Wal
ter Johnson going back?
Walter admits it himself, SO there
can be no doubt about it.
At times, Johnson looks as good
as ever, but his pitching lacks the
old consistency that made him the
greatest pitcher of his day.
Johnson has been pitching in the
American League since 1907. He
has always been on a losing team,
never with a great club. AS a re-
suit, in order to win, he invariably
was forced to press his pitching to
the limit.
When a star pitcher begins to go
back the blame is invariably laid to
an ailing arm. Listen to what John
son has to say on this point:
"Of course, I am not as good as /
was 10 or 10 years ago. Age tells
in baseball quicker than any othe.
