Trenton, NJ j., Aug Incorporation Clerk
John W. Brooks, of the secretary of states
office, has issued a statement showing that
New Jersey has received since Jan. 1, 1901,
in filing fees for charters, $3.50, 1858. This
represents only fees for chartering corpora
tons, not the annual corporation tax, which
runs into the millions
The figures show that for the seven months
ending last Friday the states receipts from
new corporations were over $4,000 less than
those received for the same time year ago,
and nearly 1915 0O0-or more than half-less
than the receipts for a like period in 1901,
when the corporation business was at its
BEST
From Jan. 1 to Aug 1, 1902 the state re-
ceived 1924, 5.67, and for similar period in
1901, the receipts from new corporations
amounted to $479, 350.04. -

WHEEL CLUB LOST AND WON.
Made up in the Afternoon for the Defeat Of
the Morning Good Games Saturday.

In the Memorial Day ball games Sat
urday the Catholic Union beat the Yer
mont Wheel club, in the morning, by
score of 7 to 6, and in the afternoon
the Wheel club reversed the tables, de-
feating the Y. M. G. A. by score OF
20 to 10. Both games we're full of sport
and pleased the spectators. There was
plenty going on all the time and every
body got his moneys worth. Dan Nc
Cormack of Hinsdale, one of the old
time ball players, umpired both games
and gave general satisfaction. He un-
derstood his business.
Being holiday there were many
other attractions, especially in the way
of drives and outings, and so the at
proved to be the better one, was not
very large. 1t developed into the most
exciting contest of the series thus far
and those who missed it have regretted
ever since.
Cox was in the box for the Unions.
Last year he pitched for the Wheel
club. He did not disappoint his friends,
putting up beautiful game and prac-
tically winning the contest. King
caught good game and cut out the
side steps which made him slow be-
fore. He threw out three men in the
beginning, and then the other side gave
him up and stopped trying.
For the first three innings there were
nothing but goose eggs, but in the
fourth the Unions made two. Ellis
started off with a hit and combina-
tion of errors made the rest easy. But
the Wheel club pulled together in the
fifth ard made five runs, which seemed
at first to settle the game. The whole
thing was done on single hit, fol-
lowed by innumerable errors.
In the seventh the Unions pulled out
four more, making them one ahead on
score of to 5. Ellis hit out single,
King followed with a scratch hit, Clune
got first by an error, Williamson cut
out two Dagger to right center, and
Wright duplicated the performance.
Riley got in single and that settled
it. But the Wheel club evened mat
tiers in the last half and tied the score,
six apiece.
Clune made the winning run in the
eighth. The Wheel club was retired
in the opening of the ninth and that
ended the game. The features were
the pitching of Cox, bold the Wheel
club down to five hits, and the excel
lent playing of Tasker and Wright.
The score:

called for p m, can get there by
taking the 2 80 train. Some of the fans

in the Y. NJ. G. A. line up
Bryan, the five-year old son of Fred
G. Gale. manager of the Wheel club
team, is star performer and wins ap-
plause from the grand stand at every
game. He makes a serious matter of
gathering the bats and looking out for
things in general. His new suit is ex-
pected this week and he will be quite
in the game when he dons it.
HAL March, second baseman of the
Y. NJ. c. A. team, left Tuesday for
Haverhill, Mass, where be will play
second base on the Haverhill team of
the New England League. March came
to Brattleboro from Shelburne Falls a
little over year ago and since that
time has made himself popular as a
baseball, football and basket ball play
er. He was considered one of the best
all-round athletes and musicians in
town. He has host of friends who
hate to see him leave and at the same
time wish him success in his new field.

able for heavy hitting, G. Stolte lead
ing with six hits for total of eight
bases, out of seven times at bat. l..
Allen was close second. B. Brooks

days before the game, caught pluckily
and seemed not to mind the pain. The
