PAROCHIAL SCHOOL BOYS PLAN
TO HOLD Big ATHLETIC MEET

A field day for the parochial school
boys of this city was arranged for yes
terday at a meeting of the Catholic
Young Mems Diocesan Union, held at
the Bloomfield Catholic Lyceum club
house. The idea met with Immediate
favor, for the parochial school boys
were the only class of students in this
vicinity that have not competed in a
regular series of athletic games in past
years.
The meet will be open to all boys at
tending parochial schools in the New
ark diocese. and a strong representa-
tion may be counted upon. The games
will be held some time next summer.
The Rev. Father Thomas A. Walsh,
d. D.. pointed out the benefit of such
athletic contests. The following COM
mittee was appointed to arrange the
details of the meet:

NEWARK LEAGUE
NOW ON A PAR
WITH ATHLETICS
Former, in Fact, Has a Shade in
Point of Bowling Averages
and Scores.

Until a short time ago the Athletic
was considered the major league
among the bowling organizations in
these parts. The Newark League today
has a record equal to, if not better, than
that of the "millionaires." Only one
team in the Athletic has an average
over 500. Two clubs in the Newark
have figures better than that, and
they roll on a twelve-cornered circuit
The individual leader in the Athletic
has an average of 1902. The Newark
League leaders record is 1918. FIFTEEN
bowlers in the Athletic have AVERAGES
oyer 1870. Sixteen are in that class IN
the Newark. High team score in the
Athletic is 1,0S6. That in the Newark
100. The best individual score in the
Newark is 30.

all-importamt dish on the Newark
League bill of fare this week. 1t VIII
be a clash between the leader and the
runner-up, and the outcome will natur-
ally have Il noticeable effect on the
standing. The series will be rolled Fri
day night on the Turner'S alleys. On
comparing the averages of he teams,
the West Ends seem to have the match
as good as won. They have a tag OIL
a161T. leading the league by long odds,
while the Nationals average is only
S53.24. But behind their own breast
works the Turner's are a dangerous Zoe
and they will surely compel the leaders
TO look to their laurels.

defeat Neil declared that he would

laurels.
He met Attell last Friday night at

Cost of Making Single Big

a Day.

ooh, the bookmaker always wins is
u ommon expression among casual and
regular racegoers alike. And usually
they are right. The bookmaker has to
win, and win heavily, to make bare eX-
penses. Just what it costs to run a
book on one of the big metropolitan
tracks is something hat the general
public has only the haziest idea of, and
did the average patron of the tracks
who always is protesting about short
prices realize the expense there would
not be so many complaints.
Careful estimates of the actual legiti-

represented under several other names
and by apparently Independent layers
brings out the total of upwards Of
nearly $3.50 a day, and that with moth
ing estimated for the layers own time.

but the figures given are conservative

mission entirely independent of the
present body known as the Geological

Tiers today declared himself in favor of
a paid commission. He said:
The administration is pledged to
build system of good roads, and the
people are deeply interested in the plan.
The work will be a great one, and it will
be too much to require of an unpaid
commission. We do not want board
that will simply hold meetings, but we
want body that will see that the work
is done. We want the members of this
commission to keep right on the coat
tails Of the men who are building the
roads.
The people want to have a say in the
building of these roads. but the plan
should not be made political. am as
much opposed to that as any one. But
it is necessary to have board repre-
senting the various sections of the
State.
"The new commission will have plen-
ty to do without interfering with the
work of the present Geological Survey
Commission. The new commission will
build the main highways, while the Geo
logical Survey Board will have $50, 600
a year to spend in building roads under
The Shoemaker act in conjunction with
the counties. The State highways will
serve to educate the people, and they
will show more interest in taking ad-
vantage Of the Shoemaker act and will
build roads in connection with the
main thoroughfares to be built under
the new law.
The men to be put on the new com
mission must be able to devote their
time to the work. The president of the
Agricultural College has work enough
on his hands without taking up the road
question, and it is so with anyone else
who has other important administration
work on hand. have no time for the
work, and neither has the Comptroller.
We must have men who do haYe the
necessary time. This is vast work,
and we must find the best way Of doing
/ it.

cism Of the work Of the present Com
mission has reached the Governor, but
there is no disposition to legislate the

city as the meeting place, but the chief

which let everyone down easily, but it
did not indorse the bulky Secretary of

was said, even by Taft menu that the
delegation to Chicago would :go.there

This is the wording of the resolution.
which was passed unanimously:
The Republican State Central. Com-
mittee declares its belief that the Re
pubicans Of Maryland now, as atIthe
time Of the last State Convention. lin
dorsed the statemanlike policies of our
esteemed President and demand as his
successor one who can be trusted with
out misgivings to perseYere in those
policies and harvest their fruits in.the
nations welfare
Recognizing that the recent tribute
Of certain members Of the General As
sembly to the eminent merits and public
services Of Hon. William fl. Taft was
fully within the scope of their rights as
individual Republicans, the Committee
feels that for it to make as suchauy
declaration fora Presidential candidate
would transcend its powers and be lia-
bic to misconstruction as seeking To
forestall the decision of questions com
mitted for determination to State and
district conventions Of the party and
their NEGLECTED delegates.

To the Editor Of The Republican:
would like to give a few thoughts in

Annapolis last Tuesday. In the first
place the people showed their senti-
ments by the fact that they had only
one half as many friends at their meet
ing as the Anti-Saloon League The at
titude of Rev. Hurtz surprise me more
than anything else He said: If you

than several hundred bells in Baltimore
as they now have.
Any minister who is in favor Of the
saloon ought to retire from the high
Office or be kicked out.
Mr.. Strasser said, If the saloon is
wrong or unjust and if it unlawful or
degrading, why not close up every
saloon in the state" Isn't that true?
We know and Mr.. Strasser knows in
his heart that it is wrong, so a saloon
keeper is literally asking US to close
the saloons.
Mr.. Monroe said the Anti-Saloon
Leagues advertisements in the Balti-
more papers were "a very weak
squeal
. TIE squeal is SO loud and long that
+ it is still echoing from all parts Of the
