NEW YORK, Aug. 1.-The feature
of the racing at Brighton Beach was
the riding of the colored Jockey l..

four winners, one of which was a dead
heat. Bobwa Kean and Lotus Eater
ran a dead heat in the second race,
which was u handicap at one mile and
Il sixteenth.
Williams had theTmount on Bobbie
Kean, favorite ut Z to ,. He looked to
have the race at the head of the
stretch, but Lotus Eater closed very
strong. and in a driving finish they
finished so close together the judges
were unable to separate them.
Williams rode Orphan Lad in the
first, Robin Hood In she third and
Proposer in the last. The Nautilus
stakes, one mile and a sixteenth, re-
suited in an easy victory for Red

Fishing


Although the season was rather
dilatory in becoming active, the fish
ing in local waters has now about
year. Anglers from out of town seem
to appreciate the fact more than To-
cal disciples of Izaak Walton do.
The weakishing, while good here,
is not particularly good in the
Shrewsbury. Weakfish, on rounding
the shore until they strike the mass
of pound nets that line it. Then those
that are not caught turn about and
cone to Raritan bay or go to Jamaica
bay. The entire catch of weakfish in
the Shrewsbury river this summer is
about one hundred. 1t gets worse
every year, and by the time the fish
ermen have their houses paid for
there will not be a fish in the river.
The members of the Tuesday Club,
of Newark fished in Princes bay
yesterday. They are arranging for a
shark fishing trip in Raritan bay in
the near future, and expect to have
a lot OF fun at 1t. Shark nShlng' Is
done by batting. a large hook with II
weakfish or any other large food
fish and allowing it to drift about 100
feet from a rowboat, in which the
fisherman sits in the stern of the
boat with the line run through a
ring in the bow. When Mr.. Shark
takes hold he starts at once for the
ocean and goes as far as his strength
allows. Then he is towed ashore and
killed. About five of the members
will participate in the fishing and a
few of them follow along in the
launch. The outlook for a lot of fun
is promising, as a number OF small
sharks are now in the lower bay and
in Raritan bay.

CONCANNON
TO CHALLENGE
Will Issue Def to Ed Ralph, the
HlgAtstOWn Pool Player, for a
Match in This CITY.

Joe Concannon, the Woodbridge
pool crack, will shortly issue a chal-
lenge to Ed. Ralph, of Hightstown, to
play him a match game at $50
points in this city for a side bet of
$50. The challenge will be issued in
about three weeks, so that the game
can be playIl when the weather is a
little cooler than it is now. 1t is ex-
pected that Ralph will accept the
def, as he defeated Concannon in
their match in this city several weeks
ago, and said at the time that he
thought he could repeat the perform
ance. But Con" thinks differently
and is anxious to cross cues with the
Mercer county artist again. If they
do meet it will probably be at Blood
goods upper Smith street p%arlors,
where they played before.
Joe said this morning: 81 intend
to issue a challenge through your
sporting columns in three or four
weeks to play Ralph $50 balls for
$50 on the side. It's too warm to
play pool now and I'm going to wait
until the weather's a little cooler.
Well probably play in Amboy, be-
cause Ralph has generally preferred
that to Woodbridge, and next to
Woodbridge, I'd rather play in
Perth"
Local enthusiasts of the cue world
would welcome the match and turn
out in large numbers to see the men
play. Concannon's friends in Wood
bridge will come down as usual with
plenty of mazuma to wager on Joe's
chances.

The Copper Works team is getting
into the best of trim for Saturdays
game with Pardees, for should the
Pardees keep up their victorious rec
ord, the r. C. VS. would be in Ian
ger of losing second place, unless
the Guggies' should, by any earthly
or ethereal chance, fall by the way
side in their contest with the Cheese
broughs.
But the Copper Works will play
the Chesebroughs on the following
Saturday, August IL, and then the
Guggies and Copper Works will be
in opposite relations to Saturday of
this week.
The Amusement Company manage
ment could have had a game here last
Sunday had they cared to accept a
proposition to have the ''champeen"
female team oppose the locals. But
they rightly decided that that would
have been poor policy.

iporation in the effort to obtain bet
ter facilities for taking the New
Brunswick fans to the Midtown
grounds on Sundays, the management
will have Saturday games in New

Says one writer in commenting on
Baltimore's twelve-inning victory
over Jersey City Tuesday: The
bright, particular star of the day was
Freddie Burchell. Notwithstanding
the poor work of his team mates, he
pitched excellent ball, and on several
occasions his heady fielding prevent
ed the J~erseyites from scoring. Al
though found for eleven hits only
five we're clean drives, and all of the
visitors runs were made after the
side should have been retired"
Pitcher Larry Hesterfer, who de-
serted the Newark Eastern League
team two weeks ago, has been sold
to the Toronto club. That is, such a
deal was made, but the player him
self declared that he would not go.
1t is probable that the Newark
and Jersey City teams will play a
double header in Newark on SUN
day.
The Providence team this season
is an example of the fact that a club
built up of fallen major leaguers, is
usually not as strong as a team of
coming stars, younger men.
Providence may make a bid for the
Detroit American League franchise,
if ever the Michigan city steps out Of
big league company.
Justice Blanchard, of the New
York supreme court, has rendered an
opinion which may put an end to any
further attempts at Sunday ball play
ing in Brooklyn between professional
or semi-professional teams. The case
under consideration was that of sew
eral young semi-professional players
who had been arrested in test pro-
ceedings.
A writ of c%ertiorari was sued out,
and in Diminishing this Justice Blan-
chard holds that the fact that no
charge was made for admission, hut
that voluntary contribution boxes
were placed at the gate, does not take
the case out of the jurisdiction of the
penal code.
