Shore Road in LinWood Always
Seemed in Poor Shape.
News that the State has appro-
priated an additional $4,000
which will be used for repaving
work on the Shore road between
Somers Point and Pleasantville,
is pleasing to residents of Lin
wood.
The Shore road going through
the city has long been a source OF
complaint to the resident Wo
owns an automobile. Deep holes,
especially between the tracks,
have been in the road for a long
time. The county no sooner gets
one section of the highway fixed,
than anotheer section goes.
The repaving is expected to
make the road in good condition,
and to keep it that was for some
time to come.
Borough roads, which had been
damaged by the rain of a few
weeks ago, are getting back into
their usual good shape.

PHILLY GIANTS 10
 PLAY IN BRISTOL
New Departures to Face Famous Colored Team at MuZZy Field
lspeeInl to the Hernld.l


 Bristol, July 16 Rt-One of the , largest crowds to attend a game in Bristol in years is expected at Muzzy field on the coming Sunday when the famous Philadelphia Giants, one Of the greatest traveling colored teams in the country, will invade this city for the second time this season to play the New Departure nine.
 The previous tilt between these clubs was hummer and should be listed among the seasons classics, going six innings until rain caused a halt with both club deadlocked in Ia scoreless tie.
 The majority Of local fans are picking the dusky representatives to haul the Bearing Makers down in the coming engagement, but the .Carrollmen are hopeful of squeezing through on the heavy end of the verdict.
 Included in the visiting lineup on Sunday will be found Babe" Lewis colored celestial Of clout, Jackman, submarine finger de luxe and Pep White, known as the Nick Altrock of diamond circle, as well as an all. star supporting cast.
 The Giants have compiled a very formidable season record against some of the fastest semi-pro clubs in this section of the country, having won 42 games, lost and tied 6. Jackman, who hurled in the previous game and allowed the locals two hits, has already twirled two no-hit- no-run exhibitions this season. The big underhand finger has placed 20 games on the right side of the book, dropped and tied 8. Babe" Lewis is certainly living Up to his reputa- ton as a prolific hitter, having chalk cd 30 four-base blows to date.
 The New Departures will take the field in their regular order as it is believed that Captain Clyde Waters, who received a painful injury in Thursday nights game with Man will be able to resume his position behind the plate.
 The contest is scheduled to get under way at 3 o'clock and Messrs. Coughlin and McCabe will officiate.

CITY LEAGUE GAMES
Thre Fast Games Scheduled. With Burritts and Rangers Meeting for Leadership of Circuit.

With the excitement Of opening day over and the teams accustomed to themselves and each other, the City league will flash into action this afternoon for its second week of play with another trio of games at Walnut Hill park. A real battle is in prospect on Diamond No. ?, where the Orioles and West Ends lost heart breaking inning bat tie last week although they showed a driving comeback which would have carried them to victory If they had had the breaks, while the West Ends, with a veteran lineup, were stopped by rain after a fast exhibi- ton which showed they must be reckoned with in the race.
 On Diamond No. 1 at ? o'clock the Pirates are scheduled to clash with the Robins. The Pirates have snappy bunch of youngsters and threaten trouble for all corners. The Robins took an awful lacing last week, put they were not lully or ganized and appeared nervous; aft CT this baptism of fire they should play better today, but they must show great improvement if they are to overcome the Pirates.
 The really important game of the afternoon will be played on Dia- mond No. at 4 o'clock, when the league leaders. the Burritts and Rangers, meet. The Burritts show cd a strong offensive last Saturday in their 2S-7 victory over the Rob- ins, while the Rangers. present champions, also displayed potent attack. Both outfits had sturdy de- fensive lines, too. and the game be- tween them should be the plum of the day.

FEW PURCHASES AT
 LEAGUE MEETING
American League Decides to Re elect LandiS as Commissioner

Chicago, Dec. Is R-Much Christ
 mas shopping but very few pur- ehases was the net result of the first
 day of the annual meeting of base
 ball magnates here. Many prices
 were asked and given on players contracts and some of these bargains likely will be negotiated before the end of the gathering.
 Between the bidding on players, the American league club owners decided to re-elect Commissioner K. NJ. Landis, and then get him to re- establish the advisory board, and the leagues committee of three started today in search of Landis to talk oyer the situation. The National league at New York took similar ac- ton.
 The American league committee consists of Col. Jacob Ruppert of New York, E. S. Barnard of Cleve- Hand and Phil Ball of St. Louis. Ball is known as strong partisan of President Ban Johnson of the league, and it was differences with Johnson that caused Landis to ig-
 nore the advisory board for the last several years. The five new managers In the league made the player market un-
 usually brisk. with St. Louis in re-
 ceipt of the most offers, and Ray Schalk of the White Sox well in the i lead In bids.
 | Schalk talked trade for McManus 1 of St. Louis, Ward of New
 York, Peckinpaugh of Washington O'Rourke of Detroit, and several other infelders who might be able i to fill Eddie Collins vacant shoes.

Detroit offered three players for McManus, and Bucky Harris of Washington offered 10 take over some of St. Louis surplus catchers.
 Connie Mack said he had signed one minor leaguer but declined to discuss his relations with Eddie Col lins.
 The American league executives had left on their formal program to- day the various proposals submitted by counsel for revision of the con- stitution, and decision on the open ing and closing dates of the season. A closing date one week later than last year, October 2, seemed likely to be agreed upon. to avoid too many double headers within the 154-game limit.

ANOTHER FIGHTER
 DIES AFTER KAY0
Harry (Bers) Berslund Suffers
 Fractured Skull in Bout

Minneapolis, Minn.. Dec. 15 P- Harry Berg" Berglund. Minneapo- lis light heavyweight boxer, who was knocked out in the last round ot a scheduled six round bout here last night. died at a Minneapolis hospital early today.
 Berglund was knocked down 15 seconds before the scheduled end of his bout with Carl Augustine of St. Paul. His head struck the mat with considerable force. Early reports were that Berglunds skull was frac- tured but the cause of death was not announced at the hospital. He did not regain consciousness from the time he was carried from the ring until he died.
 Although George Barton, the referee, said there was no doubt that the injury resulted from the fall rather than from the blow that sent him down, police at the ring side arrested the St. Paul boxer. No charge has been made against him, pending action by the coroner.
 Berglund, who was 21 years old, had taken part in numerous fights as an amateur, but last nights fight was his first as professional.
 His death was the second in sue cessive days to follow boxing con- test. Charles Pegulihan, French light heavyweight died yesterday at Hartford, Conn. following Bout with Elmer Friedman.
 In last nights fight Berglund was knocked down in the first round but recovered and as the fight pro- gressed appeared the equal oi Augustine. At times he was even more aggressive. Both men were blood spatterel from the pummelline they received when they answered the bell for the sixth round. With the final bell only 15 seconds away Augustine shot over a hard lei which dropped the Minneapolis boy
 Berglund's death is the first tha' has occurred in professional ring in Minnesota since boxing was legal ized in the state in 1915.
 The Berglund- Augustine fight Wal g preliminary to the ten round mar event in which Ernie Fliegel of Min neapolis defeated Stewart Mclean of St. Paul for the Twin City feathe' weight championship.
