Developments in the sport of America are watched | closely by a large number of people and many a fan will try and picture to himself what the outcome of this move will be. Off hand it appears that unionization of the ball players would ultimately affect the game in a fashion that would make it much less popular than it is today. The essence of union- {sm is unity, co-operation with the co- worker. How will this work with a ball team, or a number ofsteams in the same strengths are other?

Possibly there may be chosen 2 set of agreements where- | by the sport will continue to exist on; its present plan, if so it is well. The average fan is not concerned with the afMliations of the management or the | players.

There have been no serious arguments ex- ploited recently therefore, we take it, there has been a love feast of some | on the state ticket. sort U Prospects for winning a state elec- tion this year are as bright as Con- necticut has ever seen them and those whose minds are turning to patronage | have far more than the usual hope that their wishes will be realized, pro- viding their choice of a candidate i{s made with political astuteness.

MATCHMAKER PICKS GIRL FOR HIMSELF Women Candidates From 18 to 60 on Matrimonial Block Hammonton, N. J., August 17— |Cuplds Court, founded on the idea that there should be a short cut from solitude to the altar rall, opened here yesterday, but in the first 4 con- solidation of the qualifications and yearnings of 1,000 bachelors and 1,- 100 spinsters only four "matings’ re« sulted, | But they were shining examples— jan undertaker was selected as the nat. ural wife of a nurse, a cost guard was slated to begin correspondence with a fair divorcee, a divorces was picked as the logical helpmate for another divorcee, and greatest of all, bright star of the whole thing—"a daughter of old Kentucky," an 18- year-old belle of the mountains— was snateched up by Thomas Bancroft Delker himself. It was Delker, editor and newspaper corréspondent, who jolned Lewis Samuel Conley, Hammondon's leading cigar store proprietor, in bringing about the Lover's Co-operative union, (which in turn producéd Cupid's [Court. Over a plate of hash in Con- over's bakery and restaurant, Delker and Conley deecided—but that will be |told further down. Suffice it to say, touching on the |iury's choice for Delker: He deserved the niftiest prospect of all that came flooding into Messrs, Delker and Conley when they launched the union'e idea that the lonely maiden and the pining bachelor should get their chance to know each other right in Hammonton A Movie Theater the Setting. The Palace motion picture theater, the only theater in town, was the scene of today's romantic events, and the pink and purple advertisements of fiim thriilers had heen banished to make room for tastefully executed signs proclaiming that “Cupid’'s court /1s now in sesgion,” and eémphasizing the fact with designs of bleeding | nearts, transfixed by black arrows. In- |side the theater when the proceed. ings began at § o'clock this morning was an audience consisting of twelve |reporters, four protographers and two | |boys. Delker set the stage for the court, with an electric light shining| |directly down on the chair occupied by “Cupid"—D>Mrs. Helen Long Rod- gers. Foreman L. Lewis O'Donnell was| the first juror to arrive. He is the| |Western Union night telegrapher and |is also chairman of the Atlantic County republican committée. Then |came Mrs. W. C. Baker, Jerry Pat. ten, an 18-year-old cartoonist; Mrs. F. J. Pontatier, private secretary to Del- 'Kér; Edward H. White, dean of the Hammonton common council; Mrs. Clpde Smith, whose husband is su- perintendent of the Hammonton Shoe |Works; Harry C. Culshaw, a Canadian | war veteran and Chief of Police Henry Motalla. With the jury in place Delker arose and told how the idea, which or-| {iginated over a plate of hash, had grown until thousands of responses to their offers of assistance had come | from lone souls longing for a heart mate all over the land. As an instance, Delker read a let- ter from a “Kentucky girl,” and said | that although her requirements for a prospective husband had been very strict, he had found one for her. The ! Jury later made Dexter run for the cffice himself, but to continue with | the secretary’s opening, he picked up| one of the letters and said: “‘This| one comes from a man who calls him- |gelf a roamer.” It developed that ‘‘Roamer” finally had begun to "think of a nice little home.” Buried Two Husbands; Wants a Third Special- Six AVINGS resulting from capac- ity manufacture are now offered to the buyer of the Stude- baker Special-Six.

It sesems to have died out recently, probably there is nothing more to allege concerning the kian. Yesterday it wae reported that several soldiers of the United States had joined the Kilux outfit, recently it was said that men in uniform pa- trolled the state roads near here and kept away undesirables while an in- ftiation was in progress. If that is 80 the Army authorities should make their investigation and act upon reg- ulations forbidding such procedures ‘With all due regards for the good in- tentions of the {ndividuals who thought they saw the uniform being misused we submit that people are prone to make mistakes and to jump at false conclusions they are in a state of excitement as they would be when held up by a man at the roadside in the dead of night. quite possible that some ,of the in-| formants in Connecticut saw khaki elothes on some of the guards and assumed the rest, believing it quite easily after a night of rather confused thoughts.
