MAY DROP SHECKARD.
Believed That Chicago outfelder Will
Be Sent Back to Brooklyn.

1t is quite likely that Jimmie Sheckard
will be seen with the Brooklyn Club again
next season. Sheckard was secured from
Brooklyn by Chicago several years ago.
Upon his return home from the league
meeting President Murphy. of the Chicago
Club. announced that there would be sew
eral more deals in which Chicago might
figure. At the same time that Murphy
made this statement Ebbetts. of Brook
lyn. gave out the fact that his club would
soon secure a well-known outfielder who
would need no introduction to Brooklyn
fans.
1t looks like Sheckard would be dropped
by Chicago to give Artie Hoffman a regu-
lar berth or the champion team. as Hof-
man is too valuable a man to be kept on
the bench.
From another source 1t was yesterday
reported that Chicago would allow Hof-
man to go TO Cincinnati, and that the Reds
would then trade Schlel. Lobert and Hof-
man for Tenney and Bresnahan. of New
York. This does not seem as probable rs

THIRD CLUE FOR CHICAGO.
American Association Decides to Have
q Team ON North Side.

CHICAGO. Dec. 1S.-The American As
ISOLATION has decided TO invade Chicago.
Hints which first began TO circulate octo-
Der IS took tangible form today in a meet
ing at the Kaiserhof here, when Jimmy
Callahan, proprietor Of the Logan Squares,
semi-professionals, was offered and ac-
cenied the Chicago franchise of the asso-
citation. President Joseph O'Brien. of the
association; President NJ. e. Cantillou. of
the Minneapolis Club, and President Have
nor. OF. the Milwaukee Club, attended the
meeting. President j. o'Brien. acting for
President George E. Lennon. of the st.
PAM Club, offered that organization TO
Callahan. 1t Includes forty men and, with
his W strong squad to choose from, in
addition. Callahan will be able to select an
unusually strong club.
The association magnates believe there
viii be no war. They argue that a team
on the North Side will not interfere with
either Of the major league teams here.
They do not fear their organization Will
be declared outlaw, as war would be an
expensive thing and there would be con-
tract jumping and other ugly features.
Notwithstanding this optimistic view. it is
likely there will be the merriest sort of
war. with Chicago as the storm centre.
Callahan is an outlaw. and the National
Commission refused to reinstate him when
Comiskey wanted to sign him.. Since that
time he has operated al outlaw team.
Both major leagues are Jealous of their
territorial rights and will probably make
Il interesting for the association.

AIMS
ELECTED AT
NEWARK It's.
Edsall TO Lead Football
Eleven and Percy the
Cross Country Team.

At meetings of the members OF this
years football and cross-country teams.
at the Newark High School, yesterday
afternoon, the respective captains for 1908
were elected. Vincent Percy was
elected captain OF the cross-country
team by the members of this
years team for next fall Percy was
one of the mainstays of the Newark High
Schools championship cross-country team
this fall. He finished first In the cham
plonship cross-country run of the New
Jersey Interscholastic League, held last
week. capturing the gold championship
medal offered for that place, and helping
Newark High greatly In winning the In
terscholastic championship.
1t was not in this meet alone that Percy
made a name for himself. but in other
meets as well. He finished first in the
dual meet between the High School of
Commerce team, of New York, and the
Newark High School team, which was the
first cross-country run of the season for
the Newark lads, and Percy's initial cross
country romp. At Princeton, three weeks
later, when Newark High carried off third
place, being pitted against some of the
best prep school teams In New York,
New Jersey and Pennsylvania, Vincent
Percy came in fifth. Thanksgiving Day
morning in the American interscholastic
cross-country championship, Percy did not
do so well, being fourth on the Newark
High School team, which took fourth
place honors at the meet.
The gridiron warriors of the local High
School honored their brilliant right end,
Walter Edsall, by e~lecting him captain of
the team for 1903. Edsall played a great
game at end for Newark High this year
and was awarded the right end position o n
the all-scholastic eleven this fall. His
work in getting down under punts, catch
ing forward passes, tackling, breaking up
plays and carrying the ball was of the
highest order this fall, and he was un-
doubtedly one of the best ends in inter-
scholastic circles this year. Under EdsaIIs
leadership Newark High should have little
trouble in turning out a successful eleven
in the fall OF 1908.
The basketball team at Newark High
this year looks like a champion one. Last
week it captured two well-earned victories
from such teams as the Poly Prep OF
Brooklyn, and the Laurel A .,C., of Bound
Brook. Friday the Newark High School

tionally fast and cleve Nevertheless,
Newark looks for a victory.

GLEASON WINS
M u R
TITLE
Boston Expert Breaks IS
Out Of 100 Birds" in
Championship Shoot.

With the highest score ever made in an
amateur trap shooting tournament, DR.. f.
r. Gleason, Of the Boston Athletic Assoc'a-
ton and the Crescent Athletic Clue, Of
Brooklyn, won the third annual trap shoot
ing championship of the United States. at
Travers Island yesterday. by breaking
nlnety-five out of a possible one hundred
blue rocks.
O.. N. Ford, OF Central City. Ia. was
second with a card OF "a. w. M. Foord,
winner OF last years title; E. =. Reed and
j. b. Sanders tied for third prize with A
score OF 80 each. j. B. Sanders, who halls
from Albany, took the cup. however. by
breaking on the shootoff. twenty-five out
of twenty-five OF the flying clap pigeons.
Three prizes were offered for the COMPETE
ton, which brought to the traps more
than one hundred amateurs from every
section Of the United States. J. S. Decker
son, of the New York Athletic Club,
offered a $500 cup as the first prize. The
other trophies were offered by the New
York athletic clubs.
The conditions were not particularly
favorable for the sport, and the gunners
found the fan traps at Travers Island ex-
ceedingly hard. Many of the best known
of the Metropolitan cracks fell down
badly. John Martin, the metropolitan
cnalnplOn, Il. w. MoiiStti thS ShaiiplOh u
the Crescent Athletic Club; ]. II. Hen
Erickson, a former national chamnion; G.
FL. Percy, the revolver expert. and other
gunners of equal fame returned scores of
less than ninety.
According to the experts, the light was
too dazzling to allow of high scores. The
sun shone on the waters of Pelham Bay
and reflected into the eyes of the gunners.
The wind was light, however, and 1t was
probably due to this fact that the scores
were 50 high.
Besides the amateur shoot, eleven pro-
fessionals shot for a special prize. Lewis
Gennin won first prize with a score of 81.
G.. w. Maxwell, the one-armed gunner
"a. The scores follow:
