Dccisively No, the Answer.
I went over yesterday to see Sullivan
to ask him IL runners who are mem
bers Of New York clubs and who ran
for those clubs during h last three
months and were residents of this State
could run for another club here. His
answer was quick and to the point.
mo, they cannot. And I am mighty
glad you made such a rule to cover this
race" he added. ! saw at once that
he was q stickler on this rule forbid
ding athletes from running for another
club when they are members of one
for which they have performed within
the prescribed time. He shot his talk
from the shoulder as straight as he
looked me in the eye. 81 am against
New Jersey men running for New York
clubs as much as I am against citizens
of one town going to another to
p~atronize that town. l don't think it
fair to the town in which a maj lives
for him 20 &c outside of it and earn
honors for another district. There are
good men in Jersey. I know Freeman.
why don't he run for his own club of
Jersey? No, these Jersey men come
over here and try to take everything
in sight. Now they want to go back
and run for their own State and are
playing both ends in the middle. |
don't believe it is right. Those ath-
letes of New Jersey who have not iden-
titled themselves with New York clubs
or any others. only those of their own
State, these are the one who should
be given thte preference in this EVE
MING STAR run.
Advocates What He breaches.
1T was for this reason that years
ago we adopted the rule forbidding a
man performing for a club when he
had done SO for another one within
three months. I have never believed
IN anything else than this rule. Only
for it the Amateur Athletic Union
would be a useless institution. Here
we have athletes in this city members
of New York clubs who live In the far
West. Others live in Pennsylvania.
What do they do? When they win
honors their home town is never men,

Elsewhere on this page will be found
the views of President James E. Sui
Ivan, of the A. A. u, and the relay
men of this city and county and State
can draw their own conclusions. 1t Is
evident now that there will be
enough runner from this county
alone to make it a dangerous PROPOSE
ton for anyone to wager hat THE
EVENING STAR trophy will go out
side of Essex. Yet no team need be
certain of victory. The hardest part
of the whole race is for the runners to
convince themselves of the h~ardships
that are going to confront them prior
to the race. They will be on the scene
of action early next Thursday morn
ing and there are other things oil an
exacting nature that will for the time
appear impossible, but with a little
! American grit and ONE few inches of
background all these things will fade
! away when the sight OF the trophy APP
pears in the distance. AS was said
yesterday, one team has to win and
now the great question is (Which team
will VIM"
Certainly there is one answer to the
negative that car be given. The team
that doesn't enter cannot win. Put
hat down..
The meeting tonight ought to see the
head and even a few of the runners of
every club that is going to enter in
attendance. This is an important time
in the history of one of the greatest
relays ever attempted in this State.
! When President Sullivan was told of
the course yesterday to DO covered
next Thursday he remarked: why
this will be a national affair." from the
standpoint of Importance" And it
will be more than that.
The winner of this race will have
the name cabled to all parts of the
civilized world. The achievement of
the man who crosses the wire in front
of THE EVENING STAR office next
Thursday afternoon will be heralded all
over and ii will be OF everybody's lips.
The team of which he is n member
will be stamped as being composed of
brain and Drawn, and il will a k first
place in the local athletic world.
1t Is expected hat the winner will
reach the end of his journey between 2
II 3 o'clock Thursday afternoon, and
there is a story going around that all
the big stores ON Broad street will
close for IN hour when the final relay
Is commenced, the news of which will
be waited into THE EVENING STAR
office from Elizabeth.

Leaguers, on transforming Trir,
Will Clash with Best of
Newark Talent.
BY EDWARD P. DUFFY.

The suggestion offered in this column
several weeks ago that the Newark
Eastern League team play a team
picked from the best semi-professiora
players In the city or in Essex County
on the Sunday that Manager S~tailings
gives his men Wiedenmayer's Park for
q benefit game, has met with favor
with the Tigers. Bud Sharpe, captain
of the Bengals. who is going to take
the team on a transforming trip at the
end of the season, thinks it IS q fine
sci eme and he has asked that arrange
me Its be made for the game.
That this would attract a large
crowd cannot be denied, for there are
many good semi-professionals In these
parts, who, If banded together should
put up a corking game with the
leaguers. This game would do much
for the local boys, too. because they
would get a great deal Of confidence by
playing a combination of professionals
and they would see that professional
baseball In fast company is not as i'm :
possible as some Of them, who are not
willing to take a chance, would be-
lieve.
Certainly local managers who have
these men playing for them would not
begrudge letting them off for one day.
Manager McDonough, of the Orange
Valley team, told me recently that he
would not stand in the way Of any OF
his men who might be picked for the
team because he thinks that his men
would be better after such a game.
Certainly that spirit ought to be the
same with other managers.
There will be more about this later.

business move and the best baseball
policy would be a pennant for Newark.
Give Newark a pennant winner.
Stallings is right there. He has q hard
road to travel to land the flag, but II
the pennant should be brought to
Wiedcnmayer's Park the Big Boss will
be given more glory, as he has been
handicapped from the start of the
season.
Manager Stallings told me today that
he or his men do not fear the Orioles.
They expect to make up on the next
series with the Grays what they lost
earlier in the season. Remember" he
said, "the Grays are the only ones in
the league that took a majority of the
games from US, and I want to say right
now that we were far from right when
we het them on that never-to-be-for-
gotten week We are in shape now and
I think that we will be at the head of
the standing when the final out is made
this season."
The Skeeters yesterday showed that
they were not in the same class with
the Tigers. But experience has proven
that it is the weak teams that show
form reversals at the time when they
are least expected. I don't think STALL
ings will be caught mapping.
There will be no game today, but
both teams will clash Saturday at hob
Davis's town, and on Sunday they will
play at Wiedenmayer's Park. The
Tigers expect to climb into second
place before Sunday.
On Monday they will go to Provi.
