PICKED UP ON THE DIAMOND

Toronto's triple defeat at the hands of
Providence makes Newark's fight for third
place all the harder. There may be no
such thing as throwing games practised IN
the Eastern League, but the chances are
that the Canucks were not particularly
lager to beat the Grays In the first place
Manager Kelley. Of Toronto, and Manager
Duffy, of Providence, are pretty good
friends, having played together In the big
league. Secondly, Toronto had the cham
pionship cinched and a game or two or
three could not affect the leaders. while
it meant much to the Grays. In the sec
ond game of the series the new champions
had victory in their grasp, but permitted
the Grays to win out in the ninth, when
Phyle threw the ball into the bleachers,
allowing Providence to score two runs.
There is still one point in Newark's
favor. Providence has still to meet Buff
fGlo and the Bisons will have to fight for
every game to hold second place. Con-
s%equently, the Grays are not apt to score
a clean sweep in that series.
The Colts will be idle today, it being
an open date for them. Tomorrow they
will meet Montreal. Double-headers Will
be played Thursday and Saturday.
Newark has been chiefly responsible for
Rochester's poor standing In the race. The
Colts won fifteen out of twenty games from
the Broncos this season.

Jersey City and Montreal are booked to
play another double header at West Side

AUTO RACE DECLARED OFF,
Supervisors of Nassau County Refuse a
Permit for Big Contest.

Owing TO the strong opposition that has
developed in various quarters, the 5OO-mile
road race for stock touring cars that the
metropolitan Automobile Association has
been rying to arrange for October IS and
II will not be held. When representative
of the Metropolitan A. A. appeared before
the Board Of Supervisors of Nassau County
Monday to file their amended application
for a permit for the race they were advised
by Chairman Cox to let the matter drop,
the intimation being that no permit would
lie granted in any event.
One of the objections mentioned by Mr..
Cox was that 1t would be impossible to get
the roads in proper condition in time for
the race, and though the Metropolitan A.
"A. denied this, the Board of Supervisors
refused to give the matter any further
consideration. 1t is said that the American
Automobile Association has been prominent
in opposing the proposed race.

the Wheelmen should have deservedly
earned a berth in the Newark League.
Each year when the Bay Views got a
comfortable lead I'm the Suburban the cry
went up that they were too strong for that
league, and ought to enter the Newark. In
justice to the Wheelmen, / may say that
we have a letter on file at the clubhouse
from the president of the Newark league,
stating after having received our applica-
ton that there was no vacancy in the New
ark League. and that it did not desire to
increase its membership.
VIII then should the Newark League
ignore the Bay Views application and ae-
cept that Of the Republican indian League,
which was made over the telephone at the
last minute? l believe it is not yet toe
late for the Newar League to right the
wrong 1t has done the Bay Views by Civ
ing them a place instead Of the Republi-
can Indian League, which is of unknown
quality, compared with the Suburban
League champions. AS a lover of fail
play / would like to know why the Bay
Views were turned down. and l believe
every true sporting man would like to heal

PLAY RECORD GOLF
SMITH AND HOBENS MAKE
COURSE I'M 70 AND SO.
Record Made in Professional Match with
Low and Hunter on Links of the
Hackensack Club.

Professional golfers of national repule
delighted an appreciative gallery by break
ing records in n four-ball match at the
Hackensack Golf Club yesterday. Alec
Smith, of Nassau, former national open
champion, had Jack Hobens. of Englewood,
for a partner, and this combination fitted
so well that the opposing pair, George Low,
of Baltusrol, and Dave Hunter, of Essex
County, were rather badly beaten by u
score of Z up and 6 to play at thirty-siX
holes. The record of 10, previously held by
r. B. Smith, one of the club members, was
twice beaten, in the morning, when Hobens
made a 10 and later in the day when Smith
reeled off a So.
In addition to playing for Il $500 purse,
SIS extra was offered for the best individ-
ual score, both morning and afternoon.
Hobens and Smith gathered in the extra
cash. Not forgetting the success which
attended the efforts of Low and Hunter
in a four-ball match at Bernardsville on
Saturday the spectators were divided
among themselves at the start as to the
probable outcome Of yesterdays tilt. Hun
ter, however, played well only In spots,
while Low was decidedly off his game. Iii
fact, the metropolitan open champion
failed to get going at anything like his
usual pace.
The feature of the afternoon was, OF
course, Smiths exceptional golf. His
manner as he makes the shots is one of
indifference. He seems to be careless, but
nothing could nave been more mechanically
accurate than was his game during the
last eighteen holes. His only bad shot was
at the third, where he half topped mis-
drive and needed a five.

PRINCETON. Sept. 1S.-First call for
football practise was ,ssued at Princeton

sponded. The weather was hot, but Head

little can be expected of the men until
the thermometer drops a rev notches.
Quite a few promising chaps are now
wrestling with examinations, the passing
of which will brighten the outlook consid-
erably. McFadden. the big guard, will
probably be on the job today, while
it is very likely that Wister. Harlan and
a couple of others will be along pretty
soon. Everybody here is nightly pleased
with the coaching department and espe-
cially in the fact that "Bili'' Roper will
have Cooney as his assistant. Jack Mum

Several new faces were seen at Branch
Brook Park, where the Newark High
School football squad were practising,
yesterday. The weather was extremely
warm and the members of the squad were
not backward in showing its effect. They
all came IN with wet toys.

years men, divided his scrimmage work
with the former regulars. Currier gave
Ills neck a bad twist and returned from
the field a little earlier than the rest.

that made them stammer for a minute or
two.
Captain Alverson expects a coach by
Monday and until then no real work will

Live Oak daily Democrat. (Live Oak, Fla.) 190?-190?, 1907-11-30

What the Republicans fear most
is the nomination of Mr.. Bryan next
year. They seek in all possible ways
to minimize and disparage him and
they are systematically encouraging
the nomination of a Southern Demo-
crat. not as a matter of justice to the
South, but because they realize that
no Democrat is as strong before the
American people, today as the man
from Nebraska Bryan is without
parallel or precedent in the politics
of this or any other country. He has
been twice defeated on a fair trial OF
strength in national elections and
yet he is today stronger than ever,
and more than ever dreaded by the
enemy. What is the secret of it?
The Washington Herald perhaps dis
covers il in the following:
With all his shortcomings, polit-
icalIy-and his career, like Roose-
velt's. is characterized by political
shOrtcOmings-the people believe in
him, respect him. and give implicit
faith to him, if not TO all his theories.
The rank and file of his party trust
his Ieadership-trusti it as they have
trusted no other leadership in moro
than two decades. And it is the can
did opinion of this newspaper that
in the forthcoming presidential race.
if Roosevelt persists in eliminating
himself Bryan will have a magni-
ficent opportunity to reach the goal.
His strength is infinitely greater than
that of any other Democrat-North
or South"

concerned He left Ocala before his
turn to make a .coming-out speech
and they say he left in pout be-
cause the governor told him frankly
that he (the governor was going TO

we all know that Mr.. Bars is too
busy making money out of Dixielald

dollar deposits that he made some
years ago with the Internal Improve
ment Board, to pay any attention TO
