4 HIGH SCORE AT BERGEN POINT.

Athletic Club.@ y

The Clintons Beaten by the New Jersey
Athletic Clnb.
The New Jersey Athletic Clubs team
added another victory to its record yes
terday afternoon, IN the clubs grounds
at Bergen Point, vanquiShing the crack
CIintons, of Harlem. 10 the bad case of
rattles which once or twice afflicted the
Clintons and to proverbial Bergen Point
good luck was the success of the local
team mainly due.
OF course the, Jerseymen played good
ball. They generally do. The home team
had young Sitter in the box, and while he
was rather wild he was pitching a strong
ball. His delivery was SO terrific that be-
fore the inning ended backstop Joe Reilly,
whose hands were somewhat crippled,
gave way to Billy Wild. Thevisitors' four
runs were scored before the change, two
single hits, two bases on balls, a passed
bali and a wild throw by Joe Reilly con-
tributing to their making.
In the second inning Reilly again went
behind the bat and Beebe replaced his
pupil in the box. To the surprise of the
C1fntons they found their winning gait
was handicapped. For five errorless
innings they were retired in one, two,
three order. In the meantime the Jersey
men had also worked we'll when at the
bat and rolled up twelve runs, only two
of which were earned because of inter-
posing errors caused by attacks of the
rattles. To stem the tide of Jersey run
getting the visitors changed about in
their positions and Delmore superseded
Powers, who also twirls for the Hacken-
sack Athletics, in the box.
In their last three innings the Clintons
recovered from their stupefaction, and by
combined rallies with the stick, several
battery errors and two wild throws by
Joe Reilly they gathered six more uns.
They made a determined effort to tie the
score at this stage, but the local ball
;ossers were too wars. n
The features of the contest were drives
for three bags by Archie Smith and Del
more, and a click and snap double play
by Dan Chauncey to Smith. The scorer

NEW HAVEN, %, 1ss9.-O'Brien's great

made the game between Jersey City and

terday. Yale and Princeton were playing

Gerhardt made a clever base hit and made
seven fine plays, while Hiland gave an tx

Homer was very effective in the box,
Jersey City's sluggers only scoring six
hits, while six of them struck out.

The train pulled into Union station at

a committee from the Seven

Board of Trade. The station was
packed with people. He was escorted to
a carriage, and the procession started for
the Dennison House, where the Presi-

the President was received by the Monu-

A Boomerang Argument.

The Tribune, like many an unskillful
logician before it, confutes in one issue
what it had advocated in another. The
HERALD has all along contended that all
that it was really necessary that the
Council should do just now was to ar
range for comprehensive sewer system
for the territory within the city limits.
We held that all questions relating to the
outside disposition of the sewage could
be arranged at later date. The
Tribune, however, insisted that we must
adopt the whole plans as projected by
the Ring, or nothing-that they we're one
and inseparable, and that the outfall
sewer was part of an harmonious whole.
Nevertheless, when the HERALD sets up
the truthful argument that John P.
Jones and other property holders at
Santa Monica will enjoin the out
fall sewer, our contemporary at once
resorts to the plea that the city can go
on building the interior sewers and do
nothing on the outfall sewer, thus dis
concerting Senator Jones's suit for an in
junction. The Tribune is as variable as
a shuttlecock. The true issue Of the
dilemma is to beat the present plans of
the Ring and compel the Council, by the
creation of a wholesome public opinion,
to submit project to the people which
will provide for the building of the muni-
cipal sewers, with storm drains, on a
reasonable basis. Such a project would
carry. Having put ourselves in posi-
tion to deliver sewage fertilizers to those
who are anxious to pay for them, we
should not then find ourselves under
the necessity Of wasting it. In
