The Horseshoe Rangers administered q
crushing defeat to the Young States yes
terday on the Washington street grounds
in a five inning game. The States tried
hard to solve Eunice's puzzles, but the
task was beyond them and they were
unable to do better than six hits. Eunice
was so well supported that but two runs
were made by the States. one in the third
ond one in the fourth. The Horseshoes
had an easy time with Annett and shea,
who took turns in the box. They did
the best they could. but the heavy hitting
Horseshoes were TOO much for them The
support they received was wretched also
and from the start it was a losing game.
There was no striking individual play on
either side. The Horseshoes played good
team work while their opponents did not.

TO STIR up Mr.. KAISER
Greenville Men Think the
Boulevard Could Be Inn
proved in Looks.

Since Freebooter Frank Piercy took
that gentle slap at Boulevard Inspector
John c. Kaiser a few days ago, relative
to the weeds growing along the Boule-
ward in the G%reenville section, men have
been at work cutting them down. The
dig" as some term it, evidently had
some effect on Mr.. Kaiser, and the road
between Clarenont and Stevens avenues
has been entirely cleared of the vile
growth of weeds.
Now, if some other Freebooter would
be kind enough to take another fall out
of that gentleman in regard to the rank
condition of the road" said a ~.Greenville-
lite, .it might serve to awaken hin as to
his duty, and perhaps he Boulevard
would be put into, proper condition in this
section"
The people are tired, and disguised,
kicking about the road and realize that
it does as much good to keep quiet at
present anyhow. Some relief is looked
for when the county road is taken out
of the hands of the Freeholders this
fall and taken charge by the new Boule-
ward Commission.

OUN STATES.
SCORE BY INNINGS

young States .............!D Y 49,
Horseshoe Rangers -.....-..1 5 8 2 6-22
The Hobokens and the West New York
Field Club hay beer looking at eaen
pther with the greatest rivalry during the
season, and the blowers of a team
have had many discussions as 10 their
relative merits. This feeling has been
endured by the managers OF both cams
until it was decided to settle the matter
by a series of games to decide the cham
pionship of the county. 1t Is conceded
that the teams are the cleyerest and fast
est players in Hudson. and that they are
not far behind any of the teams in the
State. The Hobokens have sent league
teams home without the expected easy
victory, and the West New Yorks have
done likewise. Both teams have found
such -aggregations as the Cuban x Giants
not very hard problems.
The first game of the series will be
played tomorrow on the West New
York Field Clubs grounds at Niles ave-
nue., West New York. The next game will
be played on the st. George Cricket
grounds, the home of the Hobokens.
Tomorrow's game will perhaps boil
down to a battle of pitchers. Foster, the
clever c~ollegian, will twirl for the West
New Yorks, while Cronin, the Hoboken's
new pitcher, will care for the curves and
drops for the visitors. Both these teams
have quite a large following, as has been
shown by the fact that every Sunday they
each have an attendance of from 1000 to
5000 spectators SO that it is safe to pre-
sumo that the grand stand tomorrow will
he crowded.
The Johnston Field Club will be OPP
posed by the Little Giants of Newark to-
morrow on the Gun Gu grounds, Marion
and the game should be a sharp, snappy
one, as both teams know the game well,
and each has an old score to settle, so
they will put the best foot Onward. The
Little Giants lay special stress on the vic
tory they won over the strong Arlington
A. A. recently, and they figure that with
the sturdy practice they have been
through since should enable to put up a
stiff argument.
This afternoon the Pacific Athletic Club
is playing the Xavier Deaf Mute team
on the Johnston avenue grounds. The
visitors are close students of the game,
as they are in it for the AXE of the sport
and they should render a good account of
themselves.
The second game between the Hudson
Athletic Club. the amateur cracks of Ho-
boken, and the Kingstons of New York
will be played tomorrow afternoon on
the ST. George Cricket grounds. The To-
cal team won the last game and in their
desire to even matters the Kingstons
will play the best game they know.
At Van Cortland Park tomorrow the en-
ployes of the Central Railroad yards and
the employees of the Hudson River Rail-
road will meet in a game Of baseball to
settle an old score.
Another series between the Myrtles and
the West Ends will be started tomorrow
when the teams will meet at the West
Ends grounds. The last series was a
most interesting one, and was finally won
by the West Ends, but only after they
had played eleven of the fastest innings
of the season

4 The Anchor Athletic Clubs Splinter,
Hoffman, has made a record this season
that can be compared with the record
of any athlete and show up WELL He
has started in twelve events and was un-
placed but once, when he failed to quail
fly in the final heat of the IS yards dash
after winning his heat in fast company
in s seconds.
-Four times he has broken the tape.
four times he has run second, and three
times he was compelled to view the ae-
ton Of two men at the finish. He is a
promising athlete, but has been handi-
capped this season in the matter Of lack
of time in which TO train. His action is
good and he use his head SO that nothing
is lacking but a little more speed which
he can acquire by training as his form
shows.

Report for the Month
of July.

The Fire Commissioners, at their meet

ton from the Hudson Telephone Company

vice to all the city's offices.
The same communication was sent to
the Board of Finance at its meeting held
a week ago Wednesday, and was passed
and approved by the Mayor on August 49,.

INTERNATIONAL CRICKET.
The Canadians Show Strength, But
Are Beaten by the New York Team

The first International cricket game of
years was started yesterday at the Staten
Island Clubs grounds, at Livingston, be-
tween the Canadians and a pitched team
from the Metropolitan District League
Clubs. The game was a good one and
was viewed by a large crowd of specta-
tors. The visitors were greatly strength
ened by the appearance of c. F. Golding-
ham and G. S. Lyons, who took the places
of J. H. Forester and F. w Stirling. h
Canadians showed much strength and
gained an advantage of 2S runs on the
first inning. The game is now in an
even state, for New York will go to the
bat fresh today, with s wickets left for
the second inning and a lead of II runs.
