Saturday.
The annual Championship meeting OF
the Diocesan Union VIII be be held Satur-
day at Caledonian Park. Newark, and no
event has ever been held in that city
that created the interest that is manifes-
ted over this competition. The union is
composed of the prominent Catholic or
ganizations in the eastern end of the
State, and the rivalry between them is not
often equalled. The championship meet
ings grow in prominnce with a year,
and have become the leading athletic
meetings in the State. Every club has
| succeeded in developing a team of athletes
| and these, by careful training. have reach
ed a condition that will enable them to
win honors for the club they represent.
The struggle for the championship this
year will be more interesting than it was
last, when the Catholic Club of this city
left the field bearing the laurels with
them Their honors were not single ones
by any means for the club championship,
John J. Keane fought his way to success
in the Individual competition. The In
stitute A. A. gave the local club a hard
fight, and are better prepared than ever
this year to contest their ability to re-
tain the prize secured in the previous
meeting. In addition to their own team,
the Institutes are counting on several of
the other interior societies to help them
out by winning points from the Catholic
Club, which would cut down their per-
centage considerably. The managers of
the team that will wear the blue. and
white are more sanguine this year than
-
for it is very doubtful if any other of
the clubs combined could develope q team
of representatives sufficiently clever to
beat the local combination. This win be
ne of the strongest cams in the State,
and none has ever been gotten together
that could compar with It in the history
of New Jersey athletes. It's members are

of the great features of the day win be

men. The Institutes beat the Catholic
Club team a couple Of weeks ago in a
team race. but not with the men who are
to represent this city on Saturday, and It
is safe betting the Institutes Will finish

Michael's, of Hobeken, are also In the
contest. and viii do their utmost to win
