Team.

GAME WAS VERY CLOSE

Though the home team scored another
victory yesterday, it had uphill work to
do. Luck as well as good work asyed
it from defeat inthe eight inning 1t was
up against Toronto which arrived here
flushed with a number of victories and
eager to take whack at the champions.
1t held the game up to the eight inning.
Two costly errors at critical moment
let in three runs for the champions, which
made the score 4 to 2 in their favor. The
visitors were then shut out in their half
of the ninth.
Miller was in the box for Toronte.-Fhe
champions made seven hits off him, four
of which were doubles, but superior field
ing by the visitors made scoring difficult
Mccain did splendid work for the
home team, though at times he was
highty. Two of the first batsmen hit
him. Harry the first one made first and
attempted to steal second. Mccain threw
him out. Kuhns was caught mapping at
first and Mccain threw him out too;
thus evening up ma tters. White sent a
hat liner to centre good for two bases
and Widensau's hot sent White home. A
| two bagger by Raub allowed Widensaul
to score. 1t was not until the fifth that
the home team scored. Doolin made a
two bagger and a safety by woods allow
ed him to reach third. Dillon with a
safe one sent him home. Two men were
out when the champions scored three
runs in the eighth. Dillon was retired
everything looked as though Toronto had
the game, Clement sent the globule scoot-
| ing out to left for two bagger. White
scooped it from the grass and second but
| it got there too late. Bean made safe
| ty and stole second. Thes fans went wild
| A long drive by Cassidy made them Wild
er. White followed the ball, got part Of
the way under it and reached his left
hand for it. The ball struck his glove
and bounded. White made another eff
fort to catch it before-it reached the
ground, but failed. By the time he got
hold of it both Clement and Beans had
arrived safely home.
A pretty double play by Woods and
Cassidy shut out the visitors in the ninth.
| 1yhe score.

Excellent Programme Of
Aquatic Sports at the
Opening Of the Bath
House.
A WORLDS RECORD SMASHED
G. M. Daniels Swims 10
Yards In Seventy Seconds
Mayor. City Officials
and Guests Applaud.

Not only was the sight presented at
the opening of the new public bath house
last night a novel one in Jersey City,
but it was highly interesting from the
standpoint of aquatic sport. Not that
this detracted from the main object of
the establishment of such an institution
in this city, but when worlds record
is smashed in a swimming contest on
the opening night it cannot but interest
everybody. Such a record was smashed
and the laurels held by John Scott Leary
of San Francisco, Cal, as the worlds
champion Cor speed in 110-yard swim
ming now rests on the head of G. M.
Daniels, the young swimming champion
of the New York Athletic Club. Leary's
record was made on March 10, 1902.
Daniels last night made the distance in
four turns in one minute and ten seconds,
lowering Leary's record by three and
one-ffth seconds. Notwithstanding this
fact. Daniels was beaten in the final by
L. de B. Handley of the New York Ath-
letic Club by few inches at the finish.
The athletes in the various contests
included many amateurs who are known
in college and university athletic circles
far and wide. Yale and Columbia were
largely represented by medal winners.
While the exploits of these, of course,
interested the spectators, the contests of
the boys from the various schools of the
city were no less interesting. All were
contesting for medals and trophies. The
big pool was surrounded by those for
tunate enough to secure invitations
These. of course. were mainly city Off
cials. though few, if any, Aldermanic
faces were seen. President Ringle of
the Finance Board and his colleagues
looked on with considerable interest In
the immediate vicinity DIR. L. J. Gordon,
"A. J. Corcoran, Nelson J. II. Edge and
former Mayor Hoos watched with the
kind of interest shown by well regulat-
ed fan at a baseball game. Rev. John L.
Scudder, one of the judges. who is quite
accustomed to be in hot water, looked
as though he would like for a change
to take plunge in the cold. He was
as enthusiastic as ever
The life saving exhibition by Commo-
dore Lubben, in command of the United
States Volunteer Life Stations in New
Jersey, assisted by Captain Stephen T.
Herig, First Lieutenant George Frey,
Charles Arnold, John Morton and Nelson
Smith. was very interesting. The chap
who fell overheard and was rescued by
the life savers is an actor. The event
wound up with game of water polo be-
tween teams Of Columbia University and
the New York Athletic Club for a silver
loving cup presented by Mayor Pagan.
Water polo is something like football.
It was the most exciting event on the
programme.
Gold medals were awarded TO the win
ner Of each event, silver medals to sec
Onds and bronze medals to thirds.
