C? Friday, Oct. 10, 1924. s " Baseball has occupied the front page of all paper* f or the past week. The nation has had its eyes turned toward Washington and New YorK where the two contending teams have been playing the most brilliant bail in the history of the gieat national game, (Joslin, hi- en on tin Camden diamond three year.** ago, ha> risen to fame. The pathetic part is Walter Johnson, the world's greatest player, and the man who did mufe toward* .Washington winnnig the pennant, los ing both games in the world's series. Jle has been pitching great ba|l for the past 'I eighteen years and an nounces his intention to retire after the close of the series. Members of both teams will participate in a small fortune. Twenty-six members on each team will share it) $331,092.51 gate receipts for the first five games, and if the games go the limit of seven to decide the championship, the for tune will be still greater The long continued rainy spell put many of the best sand-clay roads out of commission throughout the state, which shows conclusively that they will not stand up under heavy winter traffic. - There is a law in this and other states protecting boarding house and hotel keepers against tho public. If a man beats a board bill he can be put in jail. Recent developments in Camden since one hotel management left town unceremoniously, leaving debts behind amounting to thousands of dollars, seem to show the need of it law protecting the public against -Luiarding house and hotel keepers. Bigham has again been sentenced to die. This time the date has been forOctohc i .'{J. Notice of appeal to t h?.- supreme court has been given, which will stay the execution, a'Vul ariothei delay is gained.

Williams, Kershaw, He Ought To Be Convicted. A young man is to be tried in Flint* for singing "Sweet Adeline" at a late hour of the night, to the terror of the neigborhood. The technical charge against him is disturbing the peace. But since the complaint is that he sang "Sweet Adeline", specifi cally, it would seem that it is the song that is on trial. Had it been any "T51her tune, no complaint presumably would have been made. Well, the truth of the matter is that there is something about "Sweet Adeline" that is different from other songs. It acts on the humor system like moonshine whiskey on an Indian. It is a sort of loco weed which drives its perpetrators crazy. There is scarcely a note in it that cannot be held, tortured garroted.
