Although rain was predicted for
today by a number of weather proph-
cts, for once they have lost their
guess and now there is nothing to

will be played Immediately. After
a short rest after the game, the sec

win, but the Chesebroughs are game,
and say they will die with their boots
on.
At the Guggies diamond, where
the largest crowd of fans will, from
all indications, be assembled to watch
the mighty struggle for second place,
Both sides are in good condition and

MATCH A DRAW.
Mccormick Was C0mpIimented for
His Good Work.

At last the name of McCormick's
opponent in his fight on Thursday at
Saratoga is known. Jimmie Carter,
of Chelsea, is the man, and in spite OF
the furious efforts of Mac to break
his guard and put him to sleep he
was always there and handed in a
few punches himself.
The contest was the leading bout
of the evening and when McCormick
of this city and young Carter stepped
into the ring, the souts of the crowd
nearly raised the roof.
After four rounds of all kinds oil
punches, the referee declared the
match a draw, and complimented Nc
Cormick for his good work. Jimmie
Carter is a fast and heavy hitter,
having beaten some good ones, and
frankie deserves much credit for
succeeding in making the match a
draw.
Mccormick arrived home here this
morning, and says he had a swell
time. He's looking good, too.

Fishing


Charles Thomas caught eleven
weakfish and five cells at Sewaren
Thursday on shedder crab bait. Then
he dropped down to Boynton Beach
and caught a large striped bass on
the rocks along the Staten Island
shore.
Mundy's net in Raritan Bay this
week caught four large sharks. When
those fellows are around you might
just as well take your pole apart and
wait for thep to clear out, as they
drive all. the fish for miles ahead of
them. There arc some beauties down
in that bay. Some of them measure
sever feet.
Night fishing from the Coney ISL
and piers is picking up. There is SO
much garbage in the water the fish
are hungry and will only play
with the baited hook. Last night q
new lot came in and quite a few of
them were caught. Fluke and weak
fish bite best.
Henry Berger, of Walnut street,
Arson Hildebrant, of Market street,
Fred Smith, of Franklin street, New
ark, Herman Bayer, Morton Robin
son, DR.. B. A. Robinson and b.. A.
Robinson, Jr., members and guests of
the Tuesday Club, of Newark, fished
on the Great Beds Tuesday and, not
finding the fish there, sailed up the
Raritan to the Kearny flats. There
they caught ten pounds of cells, two
bluefish, a huke and a striped bass.
They sailed out to Sandy Hook to
try their new boat in the rough wat
er. Captain TRAY Bloodgood put her
to some severe tests, but she stood
up well under them. Next Tuesday
the club will fish off East Point.
James Calder, Jr., of 146 Eliza
beth avenue, Newark, amused a
group of spectators at Deal Lake the
other day by him of catching
a catfish. Jimmie is about three feet
tall and the fish measured eighteen
inches The youthful angler had
purchased a bamboo pole for ten
cents and baited the hook with a
large worm. He was fishing about
hve minutes when he was nearly
jerked of his feet. He started for
home holding on to the butt end of
the pole and dragged the fish out of
n water, much to the amusement
OF quite a crowd, who finally persuad-
cd him to take hold of the line and
carry the fish home in that manner.
Walter Hunt and John Newman
spent Saturday and Sunday at Wreck
Lead, L. I. They fished from a mot
orboat and caught a number of luke
and sea bass. They say the accom-
modations for fishermen are very
good at that resort.
William Hartmann and a party
fished in the lower bay Tuesday and
caught 120 large weakfsh. They
made a day of 1t and struck the big
sea chaps.
Carl Under is spending his vaca-
ton at Greenwood Lake. So far he

and a number of catfish. He will a
the rest of the week and try for a few
more black bass.
