There were but 1S5 people at the Ctncin.
natl game yesterday
The champions apparently had the Pirates
scared to death yesterday before tha game
began.
McGraw was out of the game yesterday
and st. Louis lost. Where was Tebeau.s
old influence over the boys?
Wlson--umpire's decision was all right.
ihe point rested upon whether the ball wa :
fair or foul. and as the umpire declared th..
batter out he evidently thought the sphere
had struck on fair ground
IT Is more than possible that either Nc
GraW or Kelley will manage the Cincinnatts
next season. Brooklyn stands ready to ac-
cept $4,000 for Kelley's release and the
same price will land McGraw Many new
turns in the base ball world will happen be-
fore the season opens next year.
Three of the first five batsmen in the
league belong to the ST. Louis club yet that
club stands sixth in the race.
McGinnity has the best record of any
pitcher in the league. He has won nine
teen and lost three games.
Pitcher Donovan Of Hartford, who was
with the Senators in '9S, has made a great
record, with fifteen victories in sixteen
games played. Hartford won eighteen
games out of twenty-five.
The PhillieS have made sixteen home runs
this season. Flick has secured half OF
them.
Manager Hanlon will not recall Catcher
Steelman. loaned to Syracuse, until after
the close of the season in the Eastern
League. He probably will be tried out in
the closing games of the National League
season.
Demontreville is not with the Brooklyns
He has been i'll for some time and at pres
ent is at Mt. Clemens Mich. recuperating.
He probably will join the team at Pittsburg
tomorrow.
Sheckard stole seventy-eight bases last
season, and with the season more than half
over no base runner has stolen half that
number up to- date.
Jimmy Gardner, the lawyer pitcher, for
merly of the Pittsburgs, is doing the bes.
twirling of any man on the corps of the
Indianapolis team. His resurrection in the
American League may lead to his being
drafted into the National again in the fall
The Brooklyn club will recall Pitcher
Yeager at the close of the season. With
regular work he has developed into one of
the best pitchers in the American League.
He has won the majority of games he has
pitched for the Detroit team this year.
Tom Daily, the Brooklyns clever second
baseman. says he knows nothing Of an
arrangement by which he will play first

.Fitz Will Claim Championship.

James ]. Jeffries' refusal to meet the
winner Of the Sharkey- -Fitzsimmons bout on
August 81 has caused the Australian to
issue statement in which he threatens to
claim the championship in default If sue
cessful in his coming encounter. In this
statement Fitzsimmons says:
f''''f see in the morning papers that JEFF
fries has crawled out of the possibility of
meeting me in the ring again. On Tuesday
Mr.. Brady, waiting until Sharkey and my
self We're matched for August "a. challenged
the winner to meet Jeffries August 81. l
promptly accepted the opportunity, provid.
ing was fortunate enough to defeat Mr..
Sharkey. .s
THE matter was settled then and there.
Now, this great champion of the world can't
devote ten days to training for the prospect
of establishing beyond question his right
to the title and earning about $4,000.
The truth of the matter is that Jeffrtes
is afraid to meet me again. 1 have ac-
cepted every offer he ever made for a re-
turn match, and each time he has made
some silly excuse to get out of the match.
Il hereby give Jeffries notice that having
accepted his challenge, In the event of win
ming from Sharkey, shall claim the cham
pionshtp of the world. and 1 believe the
public win Sustain my claim and recognise
me as the real champion"

MORE ABOUT GAME LAWS.
Gunners Can Study Up the
Changes That Have Beeu
Made.

Now that those sportsmen who do
most time to consider carefully the
provisions of the game laws that
come in force this fall very little
is said in opposition to them.
The law, as amended at the recent
session of the Legislature, provided
for the opening of the season on
grouse partridge" or pleasantly
quail and rabbits on November. |
lasting until December 81. The old
law used to permit of the hunting of
grouse after October l, but did not
allow the hunting of quail or rabbits
until November 10.
The quail season too, lasts longer
than that on grouse. This made it
very easy for lawbreakers to com
nit breaches of the game laws, and
also made it correspondingly hard for
the wardens to do their duty.
Now the only hunting allowed V be-
fore November l. is that in which
woodcock are the quarry, the open
season which consists of the months
OF July, October, November and De-
cember. Several immature grouse
are no doubt killed during the month
or July by wOodcock shooters, and
some full grown birds also doubtless
will be slain by men in pursuit of all
woodcock during the month of Oc-
tober; still it would be folly to put
off the open season on woodcock in
jersey until November, as by that
date every bird, save straggler here
and there, has moved south for the
winter.
Forbidding the killing of game
while snow is on the ground is also a
wise provision, and will prevent much
pothunting by men who like to
make "family shot,"

PUBLIC LIBRARIES.
State Aid is Offered to Assist in
Their Establishment.

The Public Library Commission
bill, passed at the last session of the
Legislature, provides that the State
shall financially aid small Libraries by
appropriating sum not exceeding
800, to be expended for the purchase
of books, provided that the library
in question has less than 5000 vol
umes; that it is under municipal
control, and has an equal sum lS100)
set apart for the same purpose.
This provision applies to new
libraries, as well as to old, but in or
der to secure this benefit from the
State, they must be under municipal
control. To those who intend to
avail themselves of this State aSsiS-
tance it is suggested that they file
their application with the Secretary
of the Commission, at an early date,
in order that the Commissioners may
have some data to work on when
making their application to the next
Legislature for an appropriation.
The Commission calls the attention
of all who are considering the ques-
tion Of establishing new Libraries.
to very excellent State law, provid-
ing for the establishment of a public
library through popular vote, the
support of the same to come from
the city by taxation on the basis of
one-third of mill on each dollar of
the assessed valuation.
Governor Voorhees, selection of
Library Commissioners, is highly
commendable. DR.. Richardson, of
Princeton, and Mr.. Hill, of Newark
have been identified with public
libraries for many years. Mr.. Kim
ball, of PaSSaic; Mr.. Pyne, of Prince
ton, and Mr.. Tumlinson, of Eliza
beth, who is well known as a writer
of juvenile fiction, have also been
greatly interested in the library
question in this State.
Persons interested in the formation
or encouragement of new libraries or
in library work in general, will find
the Secretary or any member of the
Commission prepared and willing to
give advice or suggestions at any
time.
1t would be well for our Y. NC.
A authorities to look into the mat
ter and see if some benefit may not
be derived therefrom. 1t is worth
while to investigate.

MILLVILLE PREACHER
SPEAKS OUTLOUDLY.
Millyille Speak Easies are De-
nOuced By Preacher.

Millville, July 23.-"The laws of
Millville are broken every day; the
manhood of the city should rise I'D
and destroy the enemy of liberty:
they should crush the speakeasy and
the "open drug store'' which sells
liquor.''
These words practically embody
sermon preached by the Rev. W. P.
G. Strickland before large congre-
cation in the First Methodist Episco-
pal Church yesterday He spoke in
detail upon the breaking of the laws
in Millville.
In our own city, he said,
wheelmen seem to have no regard
for the law, for every day one can see
men riding through the streets at
furious rate of speed, endangering
both their own safety and that of
pedestrians, although the law pre-
scribeS seven or eight miles an hour.
If man will break one law he is
liable to break others.
"SpeakeasieS flourish in Millville
in direct opposition to the law. and
it is the right and duty of every good
citizen to combine his efforts with
other and strike blow at this mon
ster, which in time will cause sorrow
| and tears to come to our hearth
stones. Woe will come to those who
will allow this lawlesSness to con-
tinue without any attempt to break
it up.''
In conclusion, Mr.. Strickland re-
ferred to the happiness of Common
wealth where the laws were obeyed
and strictly enforced.

IN AND OUT OF THE JAIL.
Gus Mischief, as is said, Gets
People in Trouble.

Saturday was fairly bargain-like
day over at Jail. They were coming
in and going out, these unfortunate
folks charged with being bad, and
the Jail Warden was quite busy
man. The cases that were brought
to the attention of the authorities
were all sorts.
Hattie Lee, regained her liberty.
She is charged with running dis
orderly joint of some character, you
will remember, and held in bail for
Court at the October term. Hattie
had luck Saturday when person
who still retains confidence in her
stepped forward and gave Justice
Applegate satisfactory bond.
Hattie is enjoying the free air and
cooler weather from the outside.
Martha Thomas is woman. She
is in jail. Worst of it all, she is
charged with being drunk and under
the influence of intoxicating liouor.
She had to be the latter to be drunk.
She is also charged with being a dis
orderly person. Usually all those
charges hang over a man, seldom a
woman. Martha is the exception.
The trouble for Martha was made
by Mary Stratton, another woman
who made the complaint before JUS
tice Applegate Martha was arrested
and locked up for hearing that will
probably develop to-day.
Again. Annie Katz is woman. If
what Kate Katz says of her is true,
she is naughty woman. Think of
full grown, over-age female wan
tonly, maliciously and wickedly
breaking windows out of the house
of Kate. That is what the latter
says Annie did. Katie told her story
to Justice Applegate and demanded a
complaint. One was made out by the
Justice, Kate swore that the contents
were true, and constable arrested
Annie on a warrant. Annie went to
| jail, but not for long. Bail was Sc
cured for her and she was turned
loose until the time fixed for a hear
| ing.

Dangerous Pastime at Bridge.

Salem, July 20 Where the West
Jersey and Seashore Railroad bridge
crosses Salem creek there is excellent
bathing, and small boys delight to
climb upon the bridge and drop be-
tween the sleepers while the trains
pass over their heads. There was a
crowd three last night, among the
number being lad of about IL
years, Frank Callahan. While the
7.20 train was drilling he got be-
wteen the sleepers to allow the train
to pass over him. Two cars went
over, and Callahan made an attempt
to climp to the top of the dive
board. Just as he reached the top a
baggage car came along. The lad
dropped, and as he fell struck the
back of his head against the wood :
work of the bridge, rendering him
unconscious. He fell in the water.
and was rescued from drowning
by Gohn Ford, another boy.

FOR THE FIFTH TERN.
Congressman John j. Gardner is
Unanimously RenOminated.

Atlantic City, July 19.-The boom
for Ira Wood, of Trenton, for nomi-
nation for Congress, started few
days ago, died a natural death, and
Congressman John J. Gardner of
this city, was re-nominated for the
fifth time at the Republican Con-
gressional Convention held here to-
day. Outside of the Trenton contin-
gent, there seemed to be little senti-
ment in favor of change. In fact,
the delegations from Burlington and
Ocean stood solidly with Atlantic,
which gave them complete control.
The name of George Gould, Of Lake
wood, was mentioned only in jocu-
air vein.
Promptly at noon the convention
was called to order by former Sena-
tor Skirm. of Trenton. General
Henry J. Eyrick, of Vincentown,
was selected as temporary chairman
and George D. Roe, of the same
county, secretary. They were after
ward made permanent officers.

BRIDGETON WOMAN
CLINGSTO HER BABE.
Anna Mason, Now In State Prison
Causes Trouble.

Trenton, July 22.-Anna Mason,
the convict mother of the bright
eyed. 2-year-old boy whom Mrs. EN-
lily e. williamson, secretary of the
State Board of Guardians for Chill
dren wants to place in home of
wealth and refinement, where she
will be able to follow him through
various stages of development with
the purpose of satisfying herself of
the influence of the law of heredity
upon character formation, is deter
mined that nobody shall take her
baby boy away from her if she can
prevent it.
1t was suggested to her that it
would be the best thing that could be
done for the boy and that if she loved
him as intensely as she says she does.
she ought to be willing to suffer her,
self if she knew that her sacrifice
meant the saving of her child from
the stigma that she had brought
upon it.
The Mason woman was sent to
prison from Cumberland county for
robbery. She was given three years.
and few months after her inoacera-
tion the child was born. The birth
took place in the Florence Mission
and mother and child were subse-
quently returned to the prison. The
mother is a third termer and is said
to have announced her intention of
training the child to steal. The
child cannot be taken without her
consent. Governor Voorhees, and
Head Kepeer Moore have frequently
endeavored to get her consent, but
so far it has been vain effort.
