NEWARK HIGH
HAS BRIGHT
PROSPECTS
WearerS of Blue and White
Will Start Football Prac-
tiSe Next Week.

The football practise of the Newark
High School eleven will begin next Mou-
day. and the locals have the best prospects
that the high school team has had in a
number of years. With a new system Of
coaching and only four places which are
not filled by players of the 1906 aggrega-
tion- there appears no reason now why the
Newark High School eleven his year
should not be better than that of last
season. There is plenty of good material
from last years second team, and If the
change in the coaching system does the
good that Is expected of II. the team
should know more football and be a faster
aggregation than it was last year.
There are but four places which will not
be filled by the men who played there last
season. Gregory, right halfback; futile,
left halfback, and Rich, at centre, were
lost through graduation, while Rudd, the
star left end. left school the latter part Of
the football season last year. Except for
these forr, there will be an experienced
player for every position on the eleven.
Captain james Alverson, of this years
team. will make his call for candidates
today. and it is expected at least forty
men will answer the first call for practise.
Plenty of good material entered the
school this season. and, as any number of
them have promised they would come out
and try to carry the colors of the blue
and the white to. the front, there is no
reason why Captain Alverson should not
turn out a first-class team. A new back
field will nave to be developed with the
exception Of Moy at fullback, who played
"a 1airly good game at that position last
year. dug futile, who played quarter
back last season, will play that position
again this year, unless he is shifted to
I'LL in at left end. If such is the case
Harry Pier, the star quarterback on last
years second team, will be tried out al
that position on the first team
On the line this year all of the mer
except Rich, at centre. will be seen a.

brother of last years centre, who played
on the second team, will very likely hold

Clement Makes Best Time
Circling Bases = ThOney
Fastest Getting to First.

cago, in Is fiat. Tommy Leach, of Pitts
burg, equalled Clements record. but was
disqualified for failing to touch one of the
bases.
Thoney, the Toronto left fielder, proved
the fastest man in baseball in running to
first base. covering the ninety feet In 8 10
seconds. This record was made in beat
ing a bunt." Eleven contestants were en-
tered. six of these were eliminated on the
first trial, when Miller Huggins' Of Cincin-
natl. Danny Hoffman,, of Chicago Malo-
ney, of Brooklyn; Leach. of Pittshurg, and
Thoney, of Toronto, each reached first base
in 3 rs seconds.
On the second trial Thoney won, reaching
first in 3 10 seconds. It IS believed that
Thoney would also have won the contest in
circling the bases, but an injury, which
has kept him out Of the game for a month,
affected his work. In an informal contest
recently at Toronto he made the circuit OF
the bases in less than IA seconds.
M. ]. Mitchell. the Cincinnati outhelder,
formerly with Newark. won the title in
funso hitting. driving the ball 43i feet Ss
inches. A strong wind somewhat inter-
Iiered with record breaking, but 1t Is doubt
full if the worlds record, 492 feet, held by
Emery Ketcham, of Newark, would have
been euualed even under most favorable
conditions.
Plteher Mcintyre, Of Brooklyn, finished
second in this contest with a mark of Ill
feet 1 inch: Pitcher Walsh. of the Chicago
AmerlcansZ was third with 1896 feet lO1y
inches; Pitcher overall of the Chicago
Nationals. fourth. with $50 feet SA inches,
Mccoy, of Mobile. fifth. with 1856 feet III
inches. and Pitcher Leifield. of Pittsburg,
sixth. with 800 feet Z inches
George Gibson, the giant Pittsburg
catcher. formerly with Montreal, won the
accurate throwing contest. In throwing
from home plate to second base he hit the
target squarely In the centre, but the
other contestants missed it entirely.
