Newark, according to some, has a
future Christy Mathewson in Clifford
Jewell, a pupil of the Miller Street
School. Jewell is without any doubt a
sand lot phenom. But Is years old, he
displays curves and control that are
little short of wonderful, especially
for a boy of his years. Since he was
6 years old he has had a longing to
play baseball.
In the public school baseball league,
which ended its season when the term
closed, Jewell was easily the star box
artist. He pitched ball that would land
him on any high school team here
abouts.
Jewell is a n~atural-born pitcher and
should improve with more experience.
More than one manager of the local
semi-professional teams would be glad
to land the ~youngster.
On Saturday he pitched for the
Meadowbrook A.. c. against the Ster-
ling S. S. team. The Meadowbrooks
won by the score of Q to 8. Wretched
fielding prevented Jewell from record
ing a shutout. as he struck out fifteen
men, issued no free passes and let the
opposing batsmen down with three
hits.
In the school games this year JEWELS
record was:

the work of the Tigers SO far is really

National Baseball Commission, that
Stallings's claim to Miller is a just
one.
Miller originally was a member of
Larry Sutton's Easton, Pa. team, and
the Kearny boy made such a great
showing that Sutton decided he had
major league timber, and fearing some
club would come along and get him,
Sutton started to sell Miller.
He opened negotiations with Man

bench, began giving some back talk to
Umpire Stafford. The latter could have
let the incident go unnoticed, as no one
heard the "Rube," who, by the way,
was sore for being struck out twice
by Mueller. Instead Stafford stopped
the game and ordered the Rube from
the bench. This only angered the RUDE,
and he started for Stafford.

The Gospel of Sports.
You who scan the daily columns of

how to add to the bank roll belong to
a certain class of humanity on whom
the law looks down. But honest men
know where the sports start and end.
They know the true doctrine handed
down from ages of the sport is charity
to all, kindness to a few. These few
are the men who are continually hound
ing them. But If these same men were
to fall by the wayside and the true
sport heard of it down would go the
latter's hands and out would come re-
lief. The gospel of the sport as far as
l have observed, is a big heart. This

Excitement on the Sun,

There is now visible upon the suns
disk a remarkable array Of spots In
which rapid changes are taking place.
The activity to which they are due Is
no doubt connected with the great sun
fame, shooting up to an elevation Of
S25,O00 miles, which was recently OBJ
served at the Radcliffe observatory,
Oxford. The entire length Of the dis
turbed area, which lies practically
parallel with the suns equator, is NOT
less than $4,000 miles.
Recent spectroscopic studies Of great
sun spots have stimulated interest IN
these wonderful phenomena by show
ing that In the nature Of the light Civ
en- forth from them they bear a re
semblance to certain red stars which
appear to be In a more or less ad
