Rev. Roberts Meets Dedjhy Trying to Save Friend

Defeats BeDmore
In a gafme that was a disgrace to ; baseball, according to many ot tl)e six The sad death^ of Rev. Stanley W. i hundred spectators that ^thered to see Roberto Monday took from the village ; the game between the Ph Alpha Club , of Preeport one of the most popular'S^ Freeport and the Bellmore team ywrng men in that section. He leaves , ^^m that village Sunday on the Bell- a multltade of sorrowing friends to more diamond, one of the poorest moam the loss of a young man who! «?"»•• ever recoixied by a newspaper was steadily making his way in his i T'" P>yed-, The Phi Alpha Club broke
chosen profession. While bathing in Ihe surf off Point Lookout Beach Mon¬ day with his friend, Harry C. Meyers of Pine street, with whose family he had been boarding, spectators on the shore saw the two young men strug- rling in the sea, and surmising some- tiling was ^wrong they called out the life savers at that point, who launched their boat and brought the two men tb the beach. Dr. Carman, of Freeport, 7fS£ 5att;nicr.cd snd in thc meantime ef- fbrto were being made to revive the young men. A spark of life still glow¬ ed in Meyers, but the pastor was be- youd all numan aid. He had heard and answered the call of his Master which came while he was performing a man's duty, saving the life of a friend. Death was due to heart failure brought on by over exertion. He died a hero in the full understanding of the term.
Stanley W. Roberts was the only child of Ofr. and Mrs. Oliver S. Roberts, of Lynn, Mass. He was a graduate of Harvard College, class of 1906 where he received two degrees, an A. B. and A. M., he was also a graduate of Union Theological Seminary of New York, having received his diploma of gradua¬ tion only last June, lie was only 27 years of age and was engaged to be married to a Miss Stelm Garton, daughter of Rev. and Mrs. G^^ton of Lynn, Mass. Mr. Garton is pastor of the church in Lynn, where Mr. Roberts was a member. He had been in charge temporarily of the Freeport Baptist Church for two years and when the time was right for him to do so he was to have wedded the sweetheart he had known for years as a playmate and schoolmate back in the old home. They were waiting when 'the summons came to him and well do all realize that no man has been better prepared to go to his God than Stanley Roberts.
The funeral sen'ices were held in the Baptist Church at 4 p. m. Tuesday in

ito rule against Sunday baseball ing by arranging the game with more and won hands kown by good in- flekling, sharp playing and using their brains as well as their hands and feet while at work. Phi Alpha team is composed of a clean cut lot of players who work together and play ball all the time. Tnis, in all truth, applies equally to Bellmore. Their record in the past shows this to be a fact, but undoubtedly something must have thrown a scare into them Sunday, for it was a real "off day" for this team, they acted like a lot of frightened schoolboys going before their teacher for an old-fashioned dressing down. Bellmore was demoralized and disheart- enea from the start and to many it 1 joked like inside baseball. The strong Bellmore team got a walloping from Phi Alpha Sunday that they will re¬ member for many a day. It ought to be a lesson to them to use their Drains and keep moving while playing the national game. When old timers like Hunt, Merritt. Self, Seaman and Smith set the example of poor playing that they did Sunday, what can be expected from younger players who are prac¬ tically new to the game. Considering the game put up by Phi Alpha and., re- menu)ering the Kind of ball heretofore played by Bellmore, the latter club should have climbed higher in the scor¬ ing than 9 runs against 13, for it is not conceded that Phi Al^^a played the best kind of a eame either. They made some poor plays as well as their opponents. The surprise of the day was the poor pitching of "Sam" Sea¬ man. Seaman usually makes good in the box, as a couple of hard fought 11-inning games lately have shown, but Sunday he was "way off" and the rest of the team was right with him in this respect? If there are any excuses for this "oflf day" we have not been advis¬ ed of the fact. Congratulations are

No one has lost faith in the losers of Sunday's game, a game lost now and then, is to he expected, but, what gets the fans is the poor quality of ball they were called upon to witness Sunday, seemingly without reason. They may lose, but not by such poor playing as displayed in the last game.

About 7:30 Saturday night, while running his machine across the side- wall^ entering his grounds at the corner of Brooklyn avenue and Grove street, John Holloway of Freeport run down Mrs. James Farrell and her daughter, Mrs. Maria Abramcf, of Bay View and Seaman avenues, causing severe injuries to Mrs. Farrell who suffered a broken leg. one broken rib and a sprained back, while the daughter got off with a fractured leg. Mrs. Farrell, who is nearly sixty years of age, is now in bed and utmost care must be given her to prevent a serious ending to last Saturday's accident. Af¬ ter being struck by the machine the mother and daughter lay on the side¬ walk until J. A. Canalizo's big touring car which came along was pressed into service to get them to Dr. Wilde, of Baldwin, who treated them and took them home in his car.
Mr. Holloway states that he was tuming from Brooklyn avenue into his driveway with his car when the women, who had already crossed the driveway, became frightened or tripped and fell or stepped oackward in front of the car which knocked down both Mrs. Farrell and her daughter, causing the injuries above stated; At the Farrell home it was stated that Mrs. Farrell, her daughter and her husband were crossing the driveway and did not know that the Holloway car was going to turn in and the next thing they knew both mother and daughter had been struck down and the husband, who was following, escaped injury by stepping back.
The Farrell's live in a small house off the road on Bay View avenue, and are poor people. There are eleven children. Farrell his been employed by Con¬ tractor Humphrey of Ocean avenue and his wife does washing around the vil¬ lage by the day.

M., he was also a graduate of Union Theological Seminary of New York, having received his diploma of gradua¬ tion only last June, lie was only 27 years of age and was engaged to be married to a Miss Stelm Garton, daughter of Rev. and Mrs. G^^ton of Lynn, Mass. Mr. Garton is pastor of the church in Lynn, where Mr. Roberts was a member. He had been in charge temporarily of the Freeport Baptist Church for two years and when the time was right for him to do so he was to have wedded the sweetheart he had known for years as a playmate and schoolmate back in the old home. They were waiting when 'the summons came to him and well do all realize that no man has been better prepared to go to his God than Stanley Roberts. The funeral sen'ices were held in the Baptist Church at 4 p. m. Tuesday in a: ito rule against Sunday baseball ing by arranging the game with more and won hands kown by good in- flekling, sharp playing and using their brains as well as their hands and feet while at work. Phi Alpha team is composed of a clean cut lot of players who work together and play ball all the time. Tnis, in all truth, applies equally to Bellmore. Their record in the past shows this to be a fact, but undoubtedly something must have thrown a scare into them Sunday, for it was a real "off day" for this team, they acted like a lot of frightened schoolboys going before their teacher for an old-fashioned dressing down. Bellmore was demoralized and disheart- enea from the start and to many it 1 joked like inside baseball. The strong Bellmore team got a walloping from Phi Alpha Sunday that they will re¬ member for many a day. It ought to be a lesson to them to use their Drains and keep moving while playing the national game. When old timers like Hunt, Merritt. Self, Seaman and Smith set the example of poor playing that they did Sunday, what can be expected from younger players who are prac¬ tically new to the game. Considering the game put up by Phi Alpha and., re- menu)ering the Kind of ball heretofore played by Bellmore, the latter club should have climbed higher in the scor¬ ing than 9 runs against 13, for it is not conceded that Phi Al^^a played the best kind of a eame either. They made some poor plays as well as their opponents. The surprise of the day was the poor pitching of "Sam" Sea¬ man. Seaman usually makes good in the box, as a couple of hard fought 11-inning games lately have shown, but Sunday he was "way off" and the rest of the team was right with him in this respect? If there are any excuses for this "oflf day" we have not been advis¬ ed of the fact.

No one has lost faith in the losers of Sunday's game, a game lost now and then, is to he expected, but, what gets the fans is the poor quality of ball they were called upon to witness Sunday, seemingly without reason. They may lose, but not by such poor playing as displayed in the last game. Smith and Searles were the battery for Phi Alpha, and Smith, a young man still in his 'teens, waa excellent in the box.
