Fishing


Captain Wood Applegate, of Nor
gan's Station, caught eight large
weakfish off the mouth of Cheese
quake Creek Tuesday. Wood usually
fishes in the right spot and gets the
fish.
John Dixon, Charles Clark and
Charles Bevenson, of Newark, fished
before the shower Tuesday on the
middle grounds in Raritan Bay and
caught thirty-five weakfish and two
turtles. All their fish weighed about
two pounds each.
The members of the Tuesday Club
had a great time at C~heesequake
Greek Tuesday. Although the thun-
der storm drove them to the shelter
of the clubhouse early in the after
noon, they were kept busy while the
twenty-three weakfish, two bluefsh, a
kingfish and a turtle.
William Cox, of Jersey City, had
an exciting time with a turtle that he
caught while fishing in Princes Bay.
He hooked 1t and drew it to his boat,
then caught it by the hind hipper and
dragged it into the boat. Then the
fun commenced. Mr.. Turtle started
for Mr.. Cox and, quick as a flash,
caught Cox's rubber boot in his hook
ed bill. Cox tried to draw his foot
from the boot, but his sock was also
fast. Cox grasped the side of the
boat and gave a sharp tug. The boot
and sock gave way, but the sudden
release caused Cox to lose his bal
ance and he struck his head on the
forward seat and was rendered I'M
conscious for a few minutes. When
he recovered consciousness he threw
the turtle overheard and returned to
the ~boathouse.
Barnegat fishermen say that they
never saw so many fish caught as
they have this season. Residents
along the Shrewsbury river say that
they have had the poorest season in
years. Barnegat Bay is freed by law
from all pound nets, and the fish can
enter the bay through the inlet from
the ocean without running afoul of
huge pound nets.

The FIELD OF SPORTS
SWIM 10 MILE
RACE TO BEACH.
NeWarkers to Have Long Contest
from Newark TO BOyntOn'S
Tuesday Afternoon.

A number of local people will go to
Boynton Beach next Tuesday after
noon to see the finish of a long swim
ming race from Newark. 1t will be
q ten-mile endurance swimming con
test between Fred Castle, Jr., son of
Police Commissioner Castle, and Will
liam H. STICKY, a mounted police
MAI of Newark. The start is to be
made from the Lehigh Valley Rail
road bridge on Newark Bay, the
course extending through Staten ISL
and sound to Boynton Beach, the dis
lance being a little over ten miles.
The start will be made at 1:3O
O'Clock, and an invitation has been
extended to other swimmers to par
ticipate in the event.
The contestants will be followed
over the course by several parties in
launches, who will leave the Passaic
Boat Club at 1870 O'Clock. Stucky
is a well-known swimmer, having
participated in events of a similar
nature before. The race is causing
considerable talk in natatorial cir
cles, and much interest is being dis
played in the outcome. STICKY, it
is said, will surely swim over the en-
tire course, but there appears to be
some doubt just how far young Cas-
tie will go. In any event, the ace
should prove an interesting test of
endurance.

Pardees Clash With Copper
Works Tomorrow and Guggies
Oppose ChesebrOughs Twice.

In the Industrial League tomorrow
afternoon the Ch~esebroughs will
meet the A. S. & RS in a double
header on the Pardee diamond; and
the Pardees will meet the Copper
Works, probably on the A. S. & r.
diamond, as the three games in the
last round of the fifteen games, which
make ZIP the schedule, are to be play
ed, according to agreement, on neu-
trail grounds. The schedule provides
for each team to play each other
five games, and, after tomorrow,
there will remain two regular series
of games and two more postponed
games: A. S. & r. VS.. Copper Works,
and A. S. & r. VS.. Pardees. The sea
son ends September 8.
The Pardees are reasonably certain
of the cup presented by the citizens
of the city, but it is barely possible,
although entirely unlikely, that they
might strike a losing streak and the
Guggies win right on to the end and
nose Out the Pardees for first. 1t
looks now like the Pardees for first;

Going to Metuchen?

NOAAS ~
Twill be a great game.
Remember, there's a difference be-
tween old timers and has-beens.
Browning's aggregation is made
up of old timers who know the game.
But Burchell isn't an old timer
only, and he'll draw a crowd alone.
The Amboy men are in prime con-
dition except w. A. Belcher, who has
a burn on a finger of his left hand,
which should be well by tomorrow.
Wonder il the Metuchen F. G. will
succumb to our business men as it
did to the other local teams, the Rar-
itans and Keystones.
The last round of games in the
Factory League is to be played on
neutral diamonds.
The Pardees meet the Copper boys
tomorrow. The Guggies play the
Chesebroughs twice.
If the Pardees should lose every
remaining game or even all but one,
and the A. S. & RS should win all,
the Guggies would cop the cup. But
how unlikely!
The fans here would welcome a
few games at Amusement Park with
the e. l.. Kerns team, of Trenton,
representing the local end of the
game.
The way the matter stands be-
tween the Roeblings and Frankfords
there is not likely to be any let up in
hostilities until the question of
who is who" has been definitely de-
cided. Each has won a game.
1t is not yet certain what grounds
the Pardees and Copper Works teams
will play on tomorrow.
The Chesebroughs played very
we'll yesterday for them, and the
boys and their managers and CO.
workers have hopes of not finishing
the season without a win.
Yesterdays game went off in rapid
style, with al average of less than
eight minutes to an inning and less
than four to a half.
The Copper Workers yesterday
made enough runs in the first inning
to win, but the Chesebroughs didn't
lose heart, and put up a good uphill
game.
The Nationals will, doubtless,
draw many local fans to the Railway
grounds Sundays during the rest of
the season, after next Sunday. Man
ager Bran promises to book excel
lent teams.
