Winning Set After Set with Little Diff
Guilty by Brilliant Play.
Howard is having everything his own
way at st. Georges cricket grounds in
the Middle States lawn tennis champion
ship tournament. His match with Mr..
Sands, left unfinished on Thursday, when
each gentleman had won a set, was the
first thing on the card, and everybody ex-
pected to see brilliant play. That is just
what they did see.
sHoward's" terrific services were well
taken by Mr.. Sands, who returned it low
and fast, and nearly every rally ended
with both players up. to the yolley line
and the ball well off the ground. .How-
ard's' stroke won him the match in
two sets. Mr.. Sands showed some beauti-
full work, and made return after return of
balls that were apparently dead. Both
men placed well, but it was in b latter
part of the last set that the play was
really dashing; then both men began to
drive hard and to smash, but while "How-
ard's'' smashes always won, Nh. Sands
rarely got the ball out of his opponents
reach.
In the second round the Rev. Mr.. Glaze
brook had to play against Mr.. y. Hobart,
and II brought out some z play, but

rubber-soled shoes instead of spikes lost
him the match. The first set was very
long and hard. Nearly every game went
to deuce, one of them six times, and raj
lies of eight, nine or ten strokes were
strokes to decide it. 1t finally
went to Mr.. Hobart, who was
volleying, because Mr.. Glazebrook
slipped. MI. Glazebrook won this set, but
the three next ones went to his antagon4
ist, who was playing a close game and

won the match.
The play of the day was seen in the
match between 'Howard''s and Mr.. y. r.
Hobart. AS soon as they began TO play it
Howard had only been getting ready
for hard work. He covered hts court
beautifully, and his service was almost
perfect, the ball huggirg the ground as a

Church People Visit Chief Murphy About
Sunday Ball Playing.
The preachers of this city nave worked
themselves into a state of apparently need
less alarm over the question of Sunday
ball playing. Manager Powers, of the
Jersey City Baseball Club, wanted to give
a ball game OF the Oakland
grounds n Sunday recently for
the aid of the Johnstown sufferers.
When the game was permitted it vas I'm
mediately announced in some of the New
York papers that Sunday games
odist Church, because It is near
est to the s. Oakland grounds,
was first to protest against this proposed
Sabbath Dissertation. Then the Bergen
Presbyterian Church adopted formal reso-
buttons of protest. And after a time the
symptoms of these church disturbances
began to manifest themselves at Police
Headquarters. TM&@8EA#g
five people from the Bergen Presbyterian
Church called upon Chief Murphy. They
were followed yesterday by a delegation
from Simpson Church, And this morn
ing came Pastors Atkinson, of Trinity,
Ellison, of the Bergen Baptist, Hatha-
a of the Westminster Presbyterian,
and Eakins, of the Simpson Methodist
Churches to make protests.
The Rev. Mr.. Ellison, the spokesman,
wanted to know il 1t were possible that
Sunday ball games We're to be permitted
by the police.
Chief Murphy said that he had not
heard of any such purpose on the part of
the department.
The Rev. Mr.. Ellison replied that he
hoped no such permission would be ac-
corded, and that if it were, the churches
would appeal to other magistrates for
protection.
The Chief said to me that the police had
not given permission for Sunday ball
playing, nor intend to; and that even the
YOUNGSTOWN benefit game was not played
in pursuance of any express permission
by the department.; they were simply al
lowed to go on without interference.

Jersey City Suffers Defeat
by the Reorganized
Tai1enders.
CHAMPIONSHIP TENNIS TOURNEY
Professional and Amateur Ball
Games---Two Yachting Eyents---
News Of Jersey Pugilists.

The tailenders distinguished themselves
at Oakland Park yesterday afternoon by
squeezing a game from the leaders. De-
spite the fact that they played from the
outset with a winning gait, the visitors
had a tight squeeze indeed to win, and it
is doubtful If they would have sodone had
Knowles and Friel been less ratified dur
ing critical moments. &
They found Landmarks delivery in
their first inning, and apparently banged
the ball with ease all through the game.
On the other hand the local team did
little effective work with the stick against
Walkers pitching. They made three
safe hits in four innings. Probably they
would have got their eyes on the ball
further along in the game, but during the
fourth inning Walker injured his. pitch
ing hand and Sworbach replaced him in
the box. The surly twirler did not let the
boys get on to his style to any great ex-
tent, holding them down to two hits.
Knowles began the run getting. He
got first on balls, stole second on a passed
bali, went to third on a wild pitch, and
sprinted home on a drive to Walker by
0'Brien, beating the ball to the plate.
Cahill, however, passed the ball to first
base and got it there almost as soon as
O'Brien reached The bag A single by
Brady, a two-bagger by Burdock, a hot
drive by Lally to knowles, and a sacrifice
hit by Jack C0rcoran, gave the tailenders
two earned runs in their first chance.
They added w more In their second
inning. Shoenick got first through a
muff by Knowles. Then Walker hustled
the ball over the fence, back of left field
for d home run, and, OF course, Shoenick
also scored. Lally increased the lead in
the third heat by tallying through a base
on balls, another sacrifice by Jack Cor
coran, a single by Galligan, and a tumble
of the bali by Friel.
The Jerseymen scored again in their
third inning. Al base on balls, sacrifice
hits by Knowles and Hiland and a single
by Gerhardt let in Lang. O'Brien tried
to score also, and, when headed off at the
plate, stood still to be put out. A single
by Lyons, q two-bagger by Friel, a passed
ball and a sacrifice by Burke enabled the
former two to score in the fourth inning.
In the sixth our boys tied the score. Lang
hit sharply to Jack COrcoran, who made
an overthrow, the ball getting lost under
the bleaching boards back of first base.
Before 1t was found Snapper" made the
circuit. ~
The visitors got their winning run in
their eighth inning. Short Stop Coreoran
drove the ball for two bases, got third on
Shoenick's sacrifice, and dashed home
when Knowles made an overthrow to
first. A. dandy pick up by L. Corcoran
and two double plays by the home team
were the fielding work features. The
score follows

Gibbons, of Paterson, will be matched in
a few days to fight to a finish, for 5000 a

of New Jersey. A deposit will be made
today by both sides.
There seems to be a hitch in the match
between Tommy Kelly, the Harlem
Spider" of New York, and Mike Moran,
of this city. The hacker of the latter
wanted to have the men fight for $3.50 aside,
but Kelly, it appears, is without q hacker
As yet he has not covered Moran's for

matter will dispense with the stake and
guarantee a fair-sized purse, no doubt
at the proper time.
The second deposit for the Hook-Lark
ms fight was laid with the stakeholder,
Richard Early.
About fifty sporting men met at a re
sort in this city, late Thursday night, to
witness a fight between Jack Donovan, OF
this city, and Tommy Butler, of Newark.
They vainly waited two hours for Dono-
q to appear, and then had the match
declared off.
Butler felt very sore over Donovan's
funk, and said he would fight any 122
pound man, Jimmy Larkins or Tommy
Danforth preferred. Larkins wanted to
put up a forfeit and bind the match. but
Butler would not consent. Donovan and
Butler met about two weeks ago, and
after a battle of ten rounds, Donovan was
given the fight on a foul. "A dispute over
the decision resulted in the making of the
match for Thursday night.
The Crib Club, of Troy, is endeavoring
to have Cal Mccarthy and Eugene Horn
bacher come together the latter part of
August for a purse of $500, Of which $500
is to go to the winner and 500 to the
loser.
