the Diocesan Union was held last night
at the Institute Hall OF this city to hear
the protests made by the Entire Nous Club

claim being that the men we're not bona
fde members of the different clubs.>
The meeting was called to order by
Chairman Flanagan, of the Belleville Club.
AS the Entire Nous representative, William
Dunn, could not prove that the men were
not members of the clubs, both of the
protests were thrown out. At the meeting
last night the Tabs" Of this city were
awarded both banners of the meet, one
for scoring the most points and the other
for winning the club relay race.

STILL
PURSUED-BY'
HARD LUCK
Mueller Passes Four Men
and Forces in Winning
Run for Jersey.

It's hard enough for a team all shot to
pieces such as the Newark Eastern League
squad to win a game these days and to
lose out on a fuke after having the con-
test apparently on lee. as the locals did
yesterday, was enough to give the fans a
nightmare. With the score tied at s to g.,
two out and two on bases, Umpire Kelly
permitted Halligan to walk In the eighth,
when even a cross-eyed spectator could see
that the Jersey City veteran should have
been retired on strikes. That filed the
bases. and when Pitcher Mueller a moment
later issued a base on balls to Hanford,
his fourth pass in that inning, he forced
in the run that spelled defeat for Newark.
The final score was 7 to 6.
It was only the hexperience of Out
fielder Henriquez, who is subbing in
Zacher's territory, that enabled the
Skeeters to be in the fight at the finish,
the recruit permitting three drives to go
as hits which would have been easy outs
had he known where to lay for the bat
ters- Those bingles alone resulted in three
runs. The Colts fGaght gamely, and twice
overcame a long lead, Engle coming to the
rescue In the seventh with a home run
drive over the left field fence, but fate
seems to be against Newark these days.
The score:

CITY
AUTO EXHIBIT
OPENED
Many Fine Cars on Display
at the SeashOre
Carnival.

ATLANTIC CITY. Aug. 9.-Without any
of the pomp and that usually
accompanies the opening Of automobile
shows In New York and other cities. the
exhibition of touring. cars and runabouts
that Is a part of the weeks automobile
carnival was opened yesterday on the
Million Dollar Pier with nearly a full COM
plement of cars and a few interested spec
tatcrs.
The hall in which the cars were placed
was handsomely decorated for the occa-
sion and enough machines OF varied enough
types to give a good variety and appear
ance made a pleasing effect. The ar
engagements were more nearly completed
although less p~retentious than metropoli-
tan Shows and very little work had to
be done before the agents and representa-
tives were able to turn their attention TO
a fair sized crowd that showed more or
less knowledge Of motors and cars in gen.
eral. The decoration scheme was very
pretty and not too elaborate. The walls
and pillars were hung with the flags of the
nations. banners end plates of arnlOr. There
were paintings that represented Mercury
and other graceful figures driving through
cloudless skies In chariots with improved
wheels and quick detachable tires and be-
tween the pillars at either END of the hall
were paintings of beautiful women holding
to view the monogram of the city.
All the balconies were covered with rich
draperies of various colors so that the
baroness of the building was all taken
In the evening the multi-colored
lights in the immense ceiling and on the
sides. the rejecting brass OF the cars and
the crowd Of beautifully gowned women
and men in evening dress seemed strange
for a warm summer night.
The cars themselves range in price,
which Is a common manner of classifying
them. from the low-priced runabouts to
foreign touring cars TINT only the very
wealthy can afford. and the majority are
of the medium-priced machines that have
become so popular with the American
motoring public and that are now making
inroads upon foreign imports. There were
also some Very expensive and powerful
touring cars that are made in this coun-
try, SO that the event is really a repre-
sentative one. The crowd in the morning
was not large, but it Increased in size
as the day went on. The endeavor t
raise the price of admission from the
usual ten cents to twenty-five cents was
not successful, but the casual observers
were few. and the great number of intelli-
gent questions asked showed the interest.
The show will last until tomorrow night
and 1t may tbe continued on Sunday to
give the Sunday crowd a chance to see
the cars.

BOYS SHOW SKILL WITH
F0xING MITTS.

A big crowd was on hand at the Central
Institute last night to witness the foxing
and wrestling bouts given by pupils of Pro-
fessor Gus Troxler. The show was one of
the best of the many given by this school,.
The entertainment opened with a foxing
bout between the Bright brothers, Ira and
Harry, two youngsters performing very
~clsverly in a three-round go. Nick Ferch-
ling and Albert Osdosvoski, two of Trox-
ler's pupils, engaged in a wrestling bout,
which ended in a draw, each boy gaining
a fall.
The foxing bout between Chester Van
Hart and James Dapuzzo. two husky
youths of the 'Sharkey" build, was the
best of the evening. Both boys snapped
punches in great shape to the delight of
the crowd. Van Hart used a wicked left,
which he landed on his opponent with tell
ing effect. Dapuzzo kept boring in, how
ever, and handed out some good wallops
himself. The third and last round was n
hummer, Dapuzzo getting in a hard right
swing which .iloored Van Hart. Both boys
kept smuggling until the finish of the round
, and were loudly cheered for their fast
work.
William Socio, who was introduced as the
strongest boy in America" gave a very
clever exhibition of weight lifting. Socio
has all the earmarks of a weight litter,
being of powerful build. and Professor
TroXler predicts him a conner" On ac-
count of an injury to his hand, Socio was
unable to break stones with his fist, which
is another speciality of his.
Another good foxing bout followed be-
tween owa Smith and Thomas Hackett,
Smith, who has the honor of staying six
rounds with Harlem Tommy" Murphy, is
one of the cleverest pupils of the Troxler
school. Against Hackett. who is a tough
proposition, Smith showed great skill, the
bout being clever and interesting.
During the interval between the bouts
Louis Meeker. the w%ell-known local elo-
cutionist, gave a number of good recita-
lions.
A broadsword contest between Walter
Ross, Of the Central Institute, champion
New Jersey, and Captain George Willis,
formerly of the British army. concluded
the show. Professor Carl Fisher. fencing
master of the National Turn Verein. acted
as referee. Ross outpointed the English
man, winning the bout by the score of 10
points to o. Willis showed lack of form.
The contest was under American rules,
and this also somewhat Handicapped VIII
lis Ross gave a clever exhibition. being
the aggressor throughout.
Professor Troxler announced last night
he was open to meet any man in America
with the broadswords (American style) for
any amount.

CONTEST.

NEW YORK. Aug. 9-The Inter
