LOCAL CLUB
STRIVING FOR
>. RELAY HONORs

The Newark Physical Culture Society,
which has entered THE EVENING
STARS severty-flve-mile relay race TO
Sea Girt, looks to have an even chance
of winning the event, as they have
over thirty members who are training
all of whom will try to make the team.
Sweeney, who, by the way, finished
third in the mile at the Diocesan games
on Saturday last and Is considered a
better than average runner at distances
over three miles. was unanimously
elected by the club to captain the
team.
The Physical Culture Society has al
ways made IA speciality among the
members Of endurance and cross-coun-
try runs n nave at least eight men
who a do five miles IL thirty minutes
or less. The CLUB held a nine-mile
cyoss-country run for members recent
ly, and every member finished the run
in fast time.
Several members of the club We're
already in training for the Yonkers
Marathon run, which will be held this
fall, when THE STARS relay race was
announced. One member whose iden-
tity Is being kept a secret recently ran
nine miles over dusty roads in the fast
time Of fifty-six minutes.
1t Is the intention of the Physical
culture Society to hold a flve-mile road
race about a week before the relay race
comes off, and the first fifteen to finish
will represent the club in THE STARS
run to Sea Girt with the next Ave IN
order as alternatives.

pessimist may say or what ANN of
figuring he may follow, the Tigers have
as good a chance to win this pennant
as any team hat is fighting for it.
Doesn't Newark want the pennant? 1
think 1t does. I think that every man
who stands in front of THE EVENING
STARS score-board wants 1t. l am
sure that every man who pays his good
half dollar to see h game at Wieden-
mayer's wants the All
through the Eastern League circuit this
season the cry has gone forth that lin
Newark the team is getting better sup
port from the fans that it ever got any
season before"
The Tigers have one hard round to
fight in this pennant battle and the
bell will clang for it's commencement
next Wednesday. when the Tigers leave
this city for their last long trip abroad.
But why shouldn't we expect the Tigers
to do as well as they did on their last
trip? II you remember they went right
Town the line, moving every team and
taking away the majority of the games
played. Can't they do the same thing
now? II you say nay why do you say
it? Our pitchers are going along nice
ly. Our infeld is like a stone wall and
you saw yesterday that Demmitt GER
tainly filed the shoes of u old pal
Spike" McIlveen.
Keep Loyal, Everybody.
We have very little chance to see
the Tigers after mex Tuesday. To-
morrow the Orioles will be here. Let
every fan with the least shorting spark
in his makeup get out and disconcert
the other fellows in a gentlemanly
manner. Roofing is a great factor In
baseball, In fact. roofing in any
game is sometimes half the means OF
winning. With a crowded field tomor-
row the Orioles will see that this city
is behind the Tiger combination and
they will not feel so much inclined to
take chances with our boys. Ii ought
to be a great battle and it certainly
will.

MAKES NEW HAMMER MARK.

QUEENSTOWN, Aug. Is. John
Flanagan, Irish American A. c., while
giving an exhibition on the promenade
quay last night, threw the ~16-pound
hammer from a nine-foot circle for a
distance of 1S1 feet 8 inches. This
breaks all previous records, and par
ticularly the one made by M. ]. Nc
Grath, New York A. c., at the Gaelic
athletic meeting held at Nenagh Au-
gust 9. McGrath then threw the ham
mer a distance of 176 feet. Flanasan's
previous record was 175 feet IL inches.

True. the Tigers are some points be-
hind the leaders, the Orioles, but there
is an open chance of the Baltimores
slumping. They have not met with thas
misfortune this season. Ever since the

POUGHKEEPSIE, N. Y, Oct. a.
That State Chairman w. J.. Corners
betrayed a confidence was asserted
by Lewis 8. Chanler, Democratic
gubernatorial nominee, in his speech of
acceptance at Rokesby yesterday.
Mr.. Chanler declared he had revealed
to the party leaders the trend of his
probable remarks, with the understand
ing that nothing was to be said con-
corning them until they were uttered
by himself. He recognized neither the
conception nor the intellect of any
other man in outlining his own policy,
he declared, and emphasized further
along in his prepared remarks the
statement that free from all hamper
ing obligations of every kind / shall
know no master but the peoples will
and the peoples interest"
Mr.. Corners sat just behind Mr..
Chanler during the speech. With
Charles T. Murphy, Daniel +. Cohalan.
State Senator Thomas r. Grady and
other representatives Of the New York
city and Brooklyn Democratic organ
izations, he arrived but a few minutes
before the exercises of notifying all
the nominees of the Rochester conven-
ton began. With the others he left
Immediately after they had concluded.
There was 40 consultation of Mr.. Chan
Ter with these leaders. The national
chairman, Norman K. Mack, also was

loon.

he lived at 11S Lawrie street. He

After his wounds had been dress

that Nelson's injuries were caused
by a fall from his bicycle, as the
