Twice Sweeney failed. although
he managed to get partially over
upon each occasion. When he made
his third effort, everything else on
the big field came to a stop. The
crowd held it's breath. Everyone
was pulling for him.
Giving his short linen trousers a
hitch, Sweeney faced the bar where
fame and glory awaited him.
A few short steps to get his
stride, then. half dozen ire
mendous bounds and he left the
ground, feet first, like an arrow
shot from bow.
1t was magnificent effort and

far side of the bar, a mighty shout

grandstand watching eyes could see
half foot of daylight between
Sweeney's side and the bar. as he
went over. and thousands were
ready to swear he jumped Z feet

CRY poor exhibition of baseball

day around on corner lots.
1t was lots of fun, though, for
those who enjoy a ragged game
1t was good for the Indians bat
ting averages. Neither Wright nor
Clif1in were In shape to win against
any other team in the league, and
the support they got from team

NEW JERSEY STATE NEWS
For Cape May Harbor.

The State Board of Riparian Com
missioners made a grant of two
miles of beach front in Cape May
County, near Cold Spring Inlet, upon
representation that extensive i'm
provements in which the govern
ment will take a leading part, will
follow. At the same time the board
made it known that it purposes to
adhere to its policy not to make any
private grants of riparian lands until
it has been decided by the Legisla-
ture whether this system of dispos-
ing of such rights will be continued.
Back of Cold Spring Inlet harbor
with depth of forty feet of water
and five miles of water front is being
eXcavated. This is more waterfront
than that on both sides of the Hud-
son from the Battery to Twenty
third street, New York City, and has
an average depth of water exceeding
that of the river by eight feet. One
of the commissioners said that the
harbor in course of construction was
the only one between New York and
Norfolk, and it is on this account
that the government takes a special
interest in it. Most of the land in
the grant will be conveyed to the
government, whose surveys include
part of the States riparian lands.
The harbor is land-locked, and the
coast at that point is free from ice
and accessible at all seasons of the
year.

The annual report of the London
Board of Education severely criticises
the secondary schools established in
England under the Education Act of
the last Government. These schools,
which are aided from the public
rates and cater to children of the
middle class, are principally con
demned for their inability to teach
English. The Board of Inspectors
declares that either the teachers are
not qualified to teach English or too
little time is allowed for it. The
teaching STAFF in nearly every case is
underpaid and often overworked, the
result being: Teachers with made
quate qualifications are intrusted
with the instruction of children,
who, when grown into men and
women, ought to do the nations
brain work."
