LEAGUERS

Strengthening Newarks.
Mcdonald Drafted.

Manager Walter w. Durham has draft
ed Pitcher John Mcdonald from the Erie,
Pa, Club for the Newark Eastern League
baseball team next season. The player has
been In the Interstate League for two
years and his work has been highly spoken
of. He was announced as having been re-
leased shortly before the list Of reserved
players was submitted, but Manager Burn
ham suspected that the move was only q
scheme TO prevent the player from being
drafted. The local manager has placed the
matter In the hands of John II. Farrell,
secretary of the National Association. for
justification.
The Newark Club may draft no other
players for next season. In past years
Manager Burnham has drafted a collection
of men from Glass B leagues. but in many
instances they We're not the proper tim
Der, though highly spoken of in their
own leagues. Then, too, the major league
clubs have purchased or drafted more
players from the minor ranks this year than
ever before, leaving the field practically
barren. Consequently Manager Burnhan1
declared he will change his policy and
will endeavor to get most of the new men
for the 1908 team from major league clubs.

PLANS DISCUSSED
FOR CITY LEAGUE

The project for a Newark City Baseball
League, made up of semi-professional
teams hercabouts, received another boost
az a meeting held last night at Arthur
Twins place, 372 South Orange ave-
nue.. The veteran ballplayer and manage
acted as chairman and presided over the
meeting, while Cecil Arnot. of the Park
ways. of Kearny, acted as secretary. Ten
teams were represented at the meeting and
all were In favor of the league and the
plan to lnelose the grounds.
Nothing was done to effect a permanent
organization, as Mr.. Irwin wants to give
every team in the city a nance to join
the new league. He said that there are
many teams in the city that would !oin
the organization, but they do not UNDER
stand 1t. The organization committee was
requested to see the managers of these
teams and explain everything to them and
then get their views on the project.
Mr.. Irwin said hat a project as big as
forming a city league could net be carried
out in a day or a MONTH, but that 1t
would take time. He said that they had
started early enough and by next spring
ought TO have everything perfected. even
to the inclosing of the grounds. He also
said that IL they formed the league now
it would only antagonize the other man
ayers. who would claim that they did
not get a square deal. There will probably
be twelve teams in the league, with three
or four lnclosed grounds, where games can
be played Saturday and Sunday after
moons.
The teams represented at last nights
meeting were: Essex A. c., Niantic-Avons,
Original All-Stars, Pathways, of Kearny;
Dolma A. c., st. Benedict B. B. c., New

HEAYIES TO MEET
in LONDON RING

LONDON, Oct. 1S.-Tommy Burns. of
America, and Gunner Moir. of London,
have been matched to fight for the worlds
heavyweight championship at the National
Sporting Club, London, on Monday, No
vember 25. The stakes will be $500 Il side
and the purse offered by the club will be
$5,00O-in other words, $4,000 will depend
on the fight.
The sum may seem small in the Ameri-
cans eyes. but there will be plenty II
wagering at the ringside, and there will
be no fear at getting money wagered ut
even money. NOR is being backed by a
peer of the realm, and the cash is In Mr..
Bettinson's hands now. Burns is expected
to sail for England in two weeks time,
so as to give himself plenty of time to
get into good shape.
The contest has been limited to twenty
rounds, and this is far enough for the men
to go. The authorities here will not let the
fights go on to a finish. In the matter of
Importance and the amount at stake, the
contest between Burns and NOR viii rank
second only to that fought in the same
club by the late Peter Jackson and Frank
Slavin. Those who were privileged to wit
ness Gunner Moir's last two championship
contests at the National could not but be
struck with the confident manner In which
he set about his task. jack Palmer, on
the night Moir wrested the English title
from him, never appeared to really trouble
him. Tiger Smith was defeated in the
short space of two minutes fo%rty-nine Sec
onds. the powerful punch of Moir's being
used with telling effect. Others who have
reason to remember their occupying the
losers corner when meeting Moir are Jim
Casey. Peter Felix. the Australian giant;
Dan Taylor, the Woolwich Goliath; S.ouch
the last two being heavyweight champions
Of the army and navy. In comparing the
physical proportions of Burns and Moir
the advantage in height and weight is with
the Englishman, but Burns Is about three
years the younger. Moir stands 5 feet 9s
inches and weighs 1888 pounds. and Burns S
feet Z inches and weighs 1870 pounds.

PRINCETON MAY e HARVARD
ON THE GRIDIRON NEXT e.

If the Crimson loses. Princeton has lit
tie chance for a game.
II Harvard wins the athletic tide at the
Cambridge institution is expected to be at
Hood and another big contest will be easy
to arrange. A defeat would raise the cry
of too hard a schedule should talk of
adding Princeton come up.
Sentiment among Harvard men. 1t is un-
derstood, varies. There Is an element that
is strongly opposed to Princeton. They
still hold 1t up against Princeton that the
former football relations were severed.
Just how strong this element is In Harry
ards athletic affairs will not be known un-
til the matter is pressed after the close of
the present football season. Yale influence
is on the side of Prineeon and where it
can sway Harvard 1t will be used.

alumni of Princeton are agitating the
matter and the leaders in the movement
although they nave the sanction of others
potent In Princeton's athletic affairs.
Princeton seems to be the aggressor In
the move. They have needed another big
game to fill out their schedule and make
their season more extensive.
Also. the receipts from another big con-
test such as one with Harvard would
help out very materially In the support
of athletics at the Tiger institution.
This looms up as a big incentive for the
contest.
Owing 20 the unsettled conditions of
athletics at Harvard no definite reply can
be given the Princeton alumni. A great
deal depends on the outcome of the Harv-
ard-Yale football game next month.

AUTO TIRE DISPLAY HERE.

An event of interest TO automobile owners
will be the demonstration by the Hartford
Rubber Works Company, manufacturers of
the new Midgeley Universal Rim, and the
Midgeley Tread Tire, at the garage of the
Motor Car Company of New Jersey, in
Halsey street, this afternoon.
Unde the management of Harry Snyder,
assistant manager of the Hartford Rubber
Company, will be shown a distinct improve
ment in rims for any MAKE of tire of the
clincher or Dunlop type. But one tool and
one pair of hands are required to remove
an old or punetured tire and replace a new
one.
AS to the Midgeley Tread Tires 1t is
claimed that positively no skidding can
occur, the peculiar construction of the
tread preventing this entirely.

GROUND QUESTION RUM0RS.
Rival Clubs c. lrajor Leagues Will Not
Use Same Diamond.

There has been considerable talk about
the possibility OF the baseball teams OF
the American and National Leagues in
cities where both are represented playing
ON the same ground next season. The first
report was sent out from Boston. stating
that 1t had been actually settled in that
city and that both Boston clubs would uss
the same grounds. Since then it has been
learned that there was no truth in the re-
port, but 1t continues to spring up. Prcsl-
dent Shettsline, of the Phillies. and Shibe,
OF the Athletics. say 1t will positively not
occur in Philadelphia. Ban johnson has
also been reported as saying that 1t would
never happen as long as he is at the head
OF the American League.
