against the unfair publicity with
which the city seems to be afflicted
from a certain source Some of the
people were charitably inclined to-
ward the author of the story whom
they thought had lost his sense OF
humor, through neglect to exercise
II. The article itself follows:
"Absecon is in a quandary. 1t has
fire engines, but can't get them out
of the fire house.
Paving operations on Station
avenue have completely blocked
the entrance to the fire house, so
that engines are unable to get out
for drill or to attend fire. All
week workmen have been grading
the street for paving, which is
being done by the county, and yes
terday the perfect blockade was
achieved, preparatory to putting
on the asphalt.
ut has been suggested by the
wags that this being the 18th Alb
secon street taken over by the
county or state to be improved, the
unlucky number has something to
do with the i'll fortune of Fire Com
pany No. /. They point also that
yesterday was Friday, when the
blockade became really effective,
With Mars and the earth in close
conjunction, they say, the fates
seem against the firemen.
SHOULD fire break out, what
would be done?' the firemen ask
On other roads paved by the coun-
ty one side is taken first, the other
side being left open for traffic. Alb
secon wants to know why the prac-
tice is not adopted in this case?
"Still there is nice fire house
harmlessly nesting in the inmost
corner of the elbow Of the right
angled bend of the street, contain
ing two able-bodied fire engines,
ready for action, but unable to act"
AS matter of fact. Absecon has
a fire engine in the Oaks Fire De
partment headquarters. This APP
paratus was recently pur-
chased. 1t is La France engine
and equipment and its efficiency is
well known. This apparatus is
ready and available.
As to the apparatus OF Absecon
Fire Co. No. /. it is well known
that when a street is to be i'm
proved a foresighted chief Of a
fire department makes provision
for temporary headquarters so that
his apparatus will not be isolated.
One Of the recent notable examples
appears in the provision made by
the fire chief of Atlantic City who
placed apparatus and men north
of the new bridge which is being
built on the Albany Avenue Boule-
ward.
AS another matter of fact, Free
holder A. J. Roger had already
made provision to take care OF the
movement of fire apparatus in Sta
ton avenue between the house and
the street. Freebooter Roger ar
ranged with the contractor to
place concrete apron in front OF
the engine house.
Street Improvement temporarily
interrupts traffic everywhere it is
undertaken and fair-minded people,
it is pointed out in Absecon, make
allowances. Absecon businessmen
engaged in the wholesale business
in Station avenue did not permit
their business to suffer during the
period of paving. They took tenn
porary quarters on another street.

By Times Special
TOLEDO, Ohio, July 28,-Indians
and Hens were to tangle up in the
second fracas of The series today
and local fans hoped the rain
would stay away long enough to
permit them to watch their league
leaders go the full route of nine
innings
Heavy showers cut the series
opener Wednesday to five innings,
Toledo winning, 4 to 0.
Byron Specie, submarine ball
finger, who used to beat the Hens
constantly when he was with the
Indians, reversed matters Wednes-'
day, went to the box for the locals
and BANKED his former mates.
Ferd Schupp hurled for the Tribe.
Another Bitter Pill
It was a bitter pill to swallow
for the Bethel FASTENERS. Byron was
traded for Shortstop Connolly a
few weeks ago. and though the
Hoosiers are satisfied with Con-
molly, they did not expect to be
shut out by Specie the first time
he faced them :
Failure to hit with men on bases
caused the Tribes downfall. They
had ten stranded in five innings,
and if the contest had gone nine
innings and the same ratio had
continued to operate the Hoosiers
would have had eighteen men left.
Specie sort of leased his old friends.
To make matters look worse, the
Indians outhit the Hens, six to
four, but one Of the Toledo blows
was a homer by Veach and another
was a double by Lebourveau.
Byron Walks Six
Specie walked five men and
Schupp three. Ferd had one strike
out and Byron none.
The Hens put the game in the
bag in the first round. Cote walked
and Mcguire famed. Lebourveau
doubled to left, scoring Cote. and
Bob Veach stepped to the plate and
smacked the sphere over the right
field wall for home run.
The league-leaders counted one
more in the second fop a walk to
Koehler, Species single after one
out and Cote's sacrifice fly to Rus
sell.
There was one Hoosier out in the
sixth when the deluge arrived and
stopped hostilities
Hens Boss Banished
Manager Casey Stengel showed
his temper in the first inning and
got chased off the field by Umpire
James.
About 5000 fans viewed the
Wednesday pastiming. The rooters
here are pennant mad and they
turned out to greet the home boys
after the long road trip.
The Hens don't care how they
spend money and they have signed
Emil Irish) Meusel, former Giant
outtielder recently released by the
Brooklyn Robins. Meusel will be
used regularly or for pinch hitting
purposes.
The Tribe-Hen series closes Fri
day, after which the Indians will
hustle home to open a round of
struggles with Louisville, Saturday.

BY virtue of their 2-to-1 defeat of
the Brooklyn Robins while the New
York Giants were beating the Chi
cago Cubs, 6 to 4, the Pittsburgh
Pirates today had an undisputed
lead in the National League.
Vic Aldridge allowed the Robins
only five hits, while the Pirates
touched Dazzy Vance for nine. 1t
was Paul Waner's double in the
eighth, after Brooklyn had tied the
score, which started the rally for
the needed run. Traynor and Guy
Ter sacrificed, enabling Waner to
score.
Until the ninth inning, Charley
Root pitched well, the Cubs holding
a to 2 advantage over the Giants.
He had retired two men in the ninth
and the $1,000 fans were prepared
for a Cub victory. But young Nell
OFT hit with two men on the bases.
Hornsby and Terry followed with
safety, and the seventeenth victory
that Root thought he had was gone.
In the American League, the New
York Yankees drubbed the st Louis
Browns to /, as Lou GeErig con-
nected with his thirty-third home
run to tie with Ruth again for home
run honors. 1t was the fourteenth
defeat of the Browns by the Yankees
this season.
The Cincinnati Reds, continuing
their winning stride, climbed into
fifth place in the National League
by dividing a double header with
the Boston Braves. The Braves took
the first game, to 2, but the Reds
came back in the second to win 5
to 2.
The running performance of
Max Carey and Harvey Hendrick of
the Brooklyn Robins in Tuesdays
game with Pittsburgh is worthy of
comment. The Pirates beat the
Robins, Tuesday, 6 to 5, but these
two Robins gave the winners plenty
to worry about. Carey and Hendrick

pion of the world, scored victory
over Harry Tenny, Canadian feath-

the decision on points.
Neil, who had been shorn of his
bantamweight toga by Jem Bcwker
of England at London, in the previ-
Gus year. had outgrown the bantam
weight class and was seeking laurels
in the featherweight ranks. He was
doomed to disappointment, however,
as after three successive defeats in
the following year he retired from
the game.

HE'S SAME OLDCY

Pirate all you wish of Babe Ruth
and Lou Gehrig, but to Philadelphia
fans there is only one Cy Williams,
ancient outfelder of the Phils. Old
Cy has been hitting homers so
many years that one over the fence
is merely routine to him. He has
twenty to his credit this season.
Years and years ago Cy was a
star with the Notre Dame nine and
he cracked out circuit ciouts as a
collegian to help the Hoosier club
win games. Tall and rangy, Will
liams gets plenty of swing. He also
dabbled some in football at Notre
Dame when brute strength counted
more than speed and snaky hips.
Old Cy keeps his cap glued to his
top piece these days, for the many
years spent in the hot pastures have
just about cleaned his head Of hair.
