The Hobsons defeated the Orientals in
a hard hitting, fast game of ball. The
IHobsons outbatted the Orientals more
than two to one, but could not play SO
well together and came within two runs
of being beaten out. Mamay took the
stick in the first inning to open up the
proceedings and slammed a far-reaching
liner through the left field. Two bags
were his, and Resi- hit a single, followed
by Hippe's double. Giease tanned the

to make proper connections in the first.

strongly, and before they were retired

to work in the second and they scored
up five. The third gave them three on
a double, a single and a t~hree-bagger
followed by a double. One more went

LAFAYETTE'S EXCELLENT CONCERT
The Cleo Banjo and Mandolin Clubs
Furnish Admirable Music.

A large audience composed of repre-
sentative citizens of the Heights and
their wives and daughters crowded the
theatre of the Jersey City Clubhouse last
evening. The occasion was a concert
given by the Lafayette College Glee,
Banjo and Mandolin Clubs, and the young
gentlemen comprising these clubs ac-
quilted themselves admirably. The pro-
gramme opened with the glee Hail to
Lafayette by the Glee Club, and was
followed by selections from Sousa's
latest opera 1.-THE Charletan.' Then the
Glee Club sans a comic song called 'Lu-
lu-lu,' and Mr.. F, R. Wood played two
mazurkas by wieniawski on the violin in
an admirable manner. Mr.. l.. Reese
Alexander made a decided hit with his
coon songs. His accent was perfect n
had he been made up to represent the
negro swain he sang about the perform
ance would have been beyond fault find
ing. The Banjo Club played Crosby's
Vampire March, and Victor Herbert's
Fortune Teller Waltzes,' in an excellent
manner. Sweet and Low to an ar
rangement by Walter c. Stier, the musical
director of the organization, was sung by
Glee Club. Although the singing of the
cluD was all tnaI couiu De desired the
general impression was tina the new ar
rangement was no improvement over the
old. A string medley called Hash" in
which all three clubs participated, created
roars of laughter and was received with
enthusiastic applause The Banjo Gu
played "Whistling Rufus by Kerry
Mills, and the programme closed with a
stirring song, 'FHurrah for Lafayette" in
which the three clubs took part. The
young gentlemen gathered in the centre
of the stage and gave their college yell
with much JUNCTION. Then they put their
Instruments way and went to dance

L. A. WIN. C. A. Fight--General
Notes OF tho Clubs.

That the fight between the LLeague or
American Wheelmen and the National
Cycling Association is nearing the finish
and that that finish will see the L. A. w.
without the control of racing no one
doubts who has studied the question of
cycle racing in this country. The big
rider became unsettled at first because
of me evident lack of executive ability
in the L. A. w. controlling boards. For
years ii was appreciated by racing men
that the L. A. w. was entirely unable to
handle the game. Many men high in the
League looked on the matter in the same
light and urged upon the proper authori-
ties the advisability of surrendering the
racing game to another body. This the
powers would not listen to and continued
the wholesale slaughter of the racing
men by barring them from tracks and
placing heavy fines on them for small
matters. They also did too much trans
ferring of amateurs to the professional
class to benefit the game. In wheeling
as in any other branch of sport, the heart
blood is the amateur. The big racing
men tired of the T.. A. w. at last and
formed the organization which will con-
troll every bicycle race in America before
the present season is half over. The
wheeling bodies of the world are to hold
a conference in Canada in July, and if
the l.. A. w. holds on that long, which
is doubtful. it is confidently expected that
the death blow will be struck when the
NJ G.. A. will be recognized as the con-
trolling body in the United States. Should
that conference decide in favor of the
I. A. w, it will matter little, as all the
tracks in the East are under N. e. A.
control and those outside will be taken in
shortly.
The blow that hurt the T.. A.. w. most,
however, was felt when the colleges left
them and went over to the outlaws"
Princeton started, Yale followed, Cornell
got in line and 10 comes the Informal
ton that Columbia has signified its inten-
ton Of following the others. All these
colleges, with the exception of the latter
one. represented at Ambrose Park, today,
in the big N. C. A. meet.
The Mantle Wheelmen have formed a
baseball team and challenges any base
ball team composed of wheelmen in Hud-
son county. Baseball has taken quite a
hold on the Nantes and will be a fea-
ture OF the club runs hereafter, as it is
expected to boom the club. This idea is
being put into practical use in an effort
to discover some way in which to place
the club run feature on a strong footing.

vile Schuetzen Park on July Is.
