CRESCENT A. AS
HAVE SECURED
NEW GROUNDS

The Crescent A. A. has secured a
lease for the grounds located at East
Ferry and st. Charles streets, generally
known as the "Bonykamper tract"
The ground is in fine shape, and is
considered one of the best in the city.
The field is located neal trolley cars
and trains.
The opening game will be played Sun
day, June rs. The Crescents will en-
deavor to make the opening a grand
success. The Crescents were to have
opened the season on Decoration Day.
The team has greatly improved with
the addition of O'Brien and Muster.
O'Brien is a great runner and can cir
Gle the bases in record time. He was
formerly connected with the Boston
Y. M. c. A. having won many running
matches while with the association.

SPRINT RACES ARE
NOW OFFERED BY
BIKE PROMOTERS
Novel Races Planned, Which
Will Mean l43 Circuits
of Track.

Cycle fans will be treated to the
novel spectacle of witnessing riders in
sprint races making LAB circuits of the
rack in the weekly meet at the New
ark Velodrome tomorrow afternoon.
1t is pretty safe to predict that with
all this riding there will be some keen
sport, as about seventy-five riders will
be the field to do this work. Principal
interest will centre in the professional
handicap, with seven trial heats, there
being handicap groups and every
group a three-cornered race, after
which will come a final, and Kramer,
Fogler, Bedell, Little" Wiley, Krebs,
Bardgett, Anderson and all the others
to compete. Then there will be the
fve-mile pro open, the longest race
the money chasers have had here this
year., and added to this win be the ten
mile amateur open, which is certain to
have its spectacular features because of
Its big field. The one-third-mile handi-
cap and non-winners' race, the latter
a new thing, completes a great round
of activity.

asks why the Tiger allows the first ball
to go by without making an attempt
to hit it. And he says that in Duggle-
by's case if the Tiger had gone after
the first ball, which was generally a
strike, the Tigers would have made
more hits. Is this true? No, it is not.
It's a product of an overheated mind.
1t is nothing less, this statement, than
the father of the wish. This tan would

lust let us look at this fans logic.
The proposition he hands us is this one;
IF the Tigers would go after the first
ball they would do better in the hitting
line" Now for the opposite. Don't you
know and don't every fan know who
has a little common reasoning in his
makeup that If any team had the
name of its players going after the first
pitched ball that the opposing pitchers
would simply lob up a wild one and
get g. strike on the batter at the very
start? There is this fans argument
shattered to pieces at the very start.
Before criticising anything, especially
a baseball team, let us all ask ourselves
this question, If we know so much
about the game, then why are we but
ting our brains away at something else
and why not get a team inc make
money easy?

Hi Labelle, who pitched for the New

the New Bedford team in the New

against the Fall River team. In the
third inning, while at the bat, Gilroy,

company last year, and who has been
traded by Pittsburg to Boston, was in
this city lest night, calling on his old
friends. Tom is glad to get to Boston,
for he thinks he will have more oppor-
tunity to show his ability there. His
friends viii root for his success.

TOrontos Will Be the Double
Head Attraction-Yes-

BY OLD SPORT.

Kiddo, you should have seen that
game of ball yesterday between the
Tigers and the Broncos, and I'll bet
that you would have sided with the
fans who declared that Mr.. Stafford.
the alleged umpire, was about the
worst that has appeared in this city
since the day Of "Beezy" McGuirk.
/ want to say right here that, as far
as a personal thing, Mr.. Stafford is gem
tlemanly and polite. There is none of the
rowdyism about him.. And for all I
know, he may be a decent chap to as
sociate with on the outside of regular
hours of work. Giving him all the
credit for trying to be a fair and square
umpire, I must say that he is not keen
of sight. Pat Powers saw this himself
the other day. He misses the close
plays, and, to say the least. this is
heart-breaking to any player, and
especially to a pitcher, and he has
given raw decisions to every pitcher
who has come here since he has been
working at Wiedenmayer'o Park.
I had a talk with Stafford yesterday
after the game, and I said to him:
you were wrong in that decision of
Butler at the plate"
I'm what way?" politely asked Stat
ford"
Butler never touched the plate" I
replied.
That's true" said Stafford; "but
Stanage never touched Butler" was
the reply from him.
Now, Kiddo, every fan at that game
saw Stanage fall on Butler at the
plate, and at the time Stafford alleged

touch the plate.

pires who are above suspicion and who

see them. The Broncos needed that
game yesterday. Kiddo, and if you
don't know it I am going to tell it.
thyfe is plenty of politics in this East
ern League.
But no matter how the game was
won, the Rochesters broke into the win
ming column. After thirteen straight de-
feats. the Broncos shook off their hoo
doc and put a game away to their
credit.
1t was a rafting good game on both
sides. .'Wally'' Miller pitched a grand
game, so did Henley. The latter only
allowed two hits. while Miller handed
out four. A decision on the second
bag which Stafford gave against the
Tigers gave the Rochesters the game.
Let us talk about that big attraction
tomorrow. There win be two games
with the Torontos. The first game viii
be called at 2 o'clock. and the second
when the first is finished. There win
be plenty of fast plays to keep you and
your sweetheart and you wife in a
merry mood.
Should they get thirsty they will find
the walters at their elbows with ice
cooling drinks.
We owe the Torontos a couple of
b~eatings. They didn't treat us too kind
ly when out on their lot.
/, Jake Gettman will find it much
harder to get his home run licks on
these grounds than he does on the
Toronto island.
Tom Philbin may go in and work to-
morrow behind the bat. and if he does,
Jack Neuer will likely pitch one of the
games, with King Brockett the other.
The Tigers pitching staff is going good
these days, SC let us root tomorrow for
them.
