IMMIGRANTS

They came from the slime of the Bal
tic boys;
With the forms of men and the souls
of hogs;
And the children's bread has been
given to dogs;
Because we have pose as "haven of
rest"
For the scurvy scum, whom we DEEM
ed oppressed;
But who were obsessed by a worship
of kings
And stick, and stone, and the passing
things
They could form with their hands;
to whom the stings
Of honor could never come; because
Their souls were shaped by their bog
born laws!
To our fatuous of "open door"
We have chung till the fathers sons
are poor
And their heritage raped and taken
DER
By they who never can understand
Aught, save that this is fertile land;
Where much of money is to be made
BY the pirates law of traffic and
trade;
And that of the robber-barons', raid!
And the pirates and barons' laws is
theirs,
From their fraud-soaked marts to
their altar stairs!
1t was they who invented the melt
ing pot"
To accomplish that which God cannot;
Because, from his law, neither title
nor jot
Can pass, until fulfilled it be
To the last, lone atom of certainty!
With alliance with Europe" sur
charged with fears,
And ominous tokens of national tears,
We've "entangled" ourselves, for
years and years;
And if moral courage to close the
door
Be wanting we're pitably worse than
poor.

Written And Sung.
My Country tits Of thee,
Sweet land Of liberty,
OF thee I sing.
Land where my Fathers died!
Land Of the Pilgrims pridel
From every mountain side,
Let Freedom ring! -
My native country thee
Land Of the noble free
Thy name love:
I love thy rocks and rills, sa
Thy woods and tempted hills:
My heart with rapture thrills,
Like that above. =.
Let music swell the breeze, ,
And ring from all the trees,
Sweet Freedoms song;
Let mortal tongues awake;
Let all that breathe partake;
Let rocks their silence break
The sound prolong.
Our Fathers God, to Thee,
Author Of liberty,
- To Thee we sing:
Long may our land be bright
With Freedoms holy light;
Protect US by Thy might,
Great God, our King.
Our glorious land today
Meath education's sway,
Scars upward still!
ITS halls of learning fair,
Whose bounties all may share,
Behold them everywhere
On vale and hill.
Thy safeguard, Liberty,
The school shall ever be
Our nations pride!
No tyrant hand shall smite,
While with encircling might
All here are taught the right,
With truth allied.
Beneath Heavens gracious will
The star Of progress still
Our course doth. sway!
In unity sublime,
To broader heights we climb,
Triumphant over time.
God speeds our way.
Grand birthright of our sires
Our affairs and our fires
Keep we still pue;
Our starry flag unfurled,
The hope Of all the world,
In peace and light impearled,
God hold secure.
Why were the last four Stanz
taken from our song books?

KEASBEY JRS.
WIN TWO GAMES
Shut Out Crescents, so; Mo-
w Defeated by One
Run Margin

KEASBEY, Aug THE fast Keas-
hey Juniors added two more victories
to their long list Sunday afternoon
on the local grounds.
The first victims were the Cres-
cents, who were given a coat of
whitewash to the tune of SO. The
Mohawks were the losers in the Sec
ond game by a close score of 12-11.
Allowing but three scattered hits,
Stark had an easy time winning the
first game for the locals. Marchend
allowed the locals seven hits, one
of which was a circuit clout by D.
Fee.
The second game was far more
interesting and both teams enjoyed
a batting spree. The Mohawks
scored seven runs In the seventh
inning and came near winning the
game. Fee, the local pitcher, was
knocked off the mound In this
inning. Rogan made a pretty catch
and saved the day for the Keasbey-
ties.
Morrison. sabo, Hatarick, D. Fee,
and Greszner batted best in this
game.
Manager McGraw, of the Keasbey-
ties. denies he had a game booked
with the Perth Amboy PAGERS for

Pitcher George Boehler is the mys-
terry man of baseball.
The other day the wires carried
the report that the Pittsburg club of
the National League had turned him
back tc the Tulsa, Okla, team of
the Western League.
Last fall the P%ittsburg club is e.
puted to have paid 100000 for Boeh-
Ter. Believing the addition of some
pitching strength would make the
Pirates a pennant contender, own
er Dreyfus grabbed Boehler as the
most promising minor league pros
pect.
Boehler, in his third trial in the
majors has failed to deliver. In all
probability he is doomed to spend
the rest of his days as a minor
league star.
Boehler is one of the freaks" of
the game. In the minors he is sim
ply invincible. In the majors he
lacks a certain something that rem
ders his remarkable ability of little
or no use.
Lacks Confidence
Lack of confidence in his ability is
the real fault. In the bushes Boeh-
Ter regards the winning of a ball
game as a mere Formally. AS a re-
suit he is hard to beat. In the big
show he apparently is constantly
wondering how long he will last. He
seldom finishes a game.
Last season Boehler was the pitch
ing sensation of the minors, Work.
ing for the Tulsa club of the Western
League, he won 3S games and lost
only 10. His remarkable pitching
was largely responsible for Tulsa
winning the pennant. He officiated
in 81 ball games, and saved many a
contest as a relief pitcher Of which
the records show nothing.
His strikeout record was phenome-
nal, 333 batters being retired in that
manner in the AL innings he work.

Maurer Baseball Team
Bows To Catholic Club,
ReCredtiOnS Take End

A new pitcher obtained in New
York failed to show any class in a
contest at Elizabeth on Sunday aft
ernoon, and as a result John M. Ur-
banski's Maurer Athletic Association
outfit proved easy for the Plainfield
Catholic Club. The final score of
this game was 1912 and by winning
the Catholics were entitled to a
crack at the Plainfield R~ecreations
in the second contest of the double
header. The Recreations beat the
Catholics, 80.
Terrila of New York and Vansco
of Railway, comprised the battery
for the Maurer team while Strauss

the Catholic Club. The Plainfield
outfit scored in the third, fourth,
fifth, seventh, eighth and ninth in
nings, and the Maurer players tai
lied in the fourth and ninth sessions.
Urbanski and Jacobs led the Maurer
team with the stick, and Strauss,
Heating, Mullen, Simpson and Zeller
featured with the stick for the
Queen City outfit.
Denny pitched for the Catholics in
the second tilt, and Pennoyer was
on the mound for the R~ecreaticns.

| Tulsa that game was regarded as
almost in the percentage won col
umn.
Scouts Praise BoehIer
Major league scouts unanimously
pronounced Boehler the best minor
league pitcher in the country. There
was considerable bidding for his
services. Pittsburg was the highest
bidder.
Back five or six years ago Boeh-
Ter was a member Of the Detroit
club of the American League. He
had a world of stuff, but was wild.
For perhaps three years he was
carried with the hope that he would
overcome this fault. Unable to dc
SO he was shunted to the minors.
A big season in the bushes caused
him to be picked up by the ST.
Louis Browns. Lack of control again
caused him to do little more than
warm the bench. st. Louis sent him
to Tulsa with a string attached.
American League a Jinx
Having twice failed in the Ameri-
can Leagus, Boehler is said to have
expressed a desire that lie be sent
to the Nationals, believing he was
jinxed in the P0hnsonian circuit. Ru-
NOR has 1t that he expressed him
self as %preferring Tulsa to an Ameri-
can League berth.
P%ittsburg secured him and it was
| believed he would go big with the
Pirates, a strong club. Once again
Boehler has failed, even as dismally
as he did in the American Leagt@
The possessor of great speed and
a fast-breaking curve, Boehler has
tar more stuff than a majority of
the big league sfars, yet as a major
Lacquer he has been pronounced
bust"
AS a big Lacquer Boehler does not
believe in himself. He lacks a
ritcher's greatest asset, confidence.
Back in the minors once more he is
certain to win With monotonous reg
ularity.

Errors on all sides accounted for
the second defeat tested by the To-
a Z. M. H. A. at the hands of the
New Brunswick association tossers
on Sunday afternoon at Buccleuch
Park in the county seat, by the
score of 1914. Although the visitors
were strengthened considerably by
the addition of several of last years
players. their long lay-off told. The
game was played under protest by
the Amboy tossers as the New
Brunswick team was charged with
using two semi-pro players.
Jack Newmark pitched for the
Amboy aggregation. Cohen who
beat the visitors last time, was
shelled from the mound in the first
canto when the down river nine
scored three OF their four runs.
Nine hits were secured by both
teams. Nisonoff pitched the last
eight innings. According to Man
ager Levine the umpire was away
off color.
The Perth Amboyans lined up
with Levine behind the bat, Budin
on first, Bimstein on second, Mann
at short and Irv Levine at third. In
the outfield Ike Levine, Horowitz
and Mandel were to be found. The
team showed a startling lack of
practice and after they obtain
some OF it they will take on the
Brunswick outfit at the local
grounds.
A large crowd saw the game which
was the main one at the county seat
yesterday.
