their intention of participating in the

letes have decided to form 4 club.
Years ago there was Il club known as
the Newark \. G., and these men are
going to take up his name. form an
organization. and they already have the
assurance Of the New York \. c.. and
of the Irish-American a. e. that they

real good athletic club ] can see no
reason why a membership of from 100
to l 900. members could not be enrolled.
/ have carefully looked over the
athletic ground in Essex county for the
past several weeks and / nave noted
the number of young men from this
city who have written me inQuirlng
about the relay race. / have come to
the conclusion that if all the young
athletes would only band themselves
under one color that there would i'll
time be a club in this city that would
make any club in Manhattan sit up
and notice the Jerseyites. From the
Oranges to the Down Neck Fairgrounds
can be found men tieet of foot, strong
of arm and as full of spunk as any
Champion Hayes or any other of oul
American men who showed American
grit in the great Olympiad races. 1t is
up to some one to start the athletic
club ball arolling and then you vii
see that what / say is correct.

Newark Counts OH Winning
Double Header, Which May
Mean Second Place.

"You may tie us. but can't beat us"
was the Tigers slogan at Rochester
yesterday, the second game going
eleven innings to a draw. 3 to 3. As n
of this result Stallings's men
both gained and lost ground. They fell
q trihe farther behind Baltimore,
which rubbed it into Buffalo, IL to 0, but
advanced within ten points of the
Grays, who met their second defeat at
the hands of Toronto.
As this is getaway day at Roeh-
ester and yesterdays game counts as
no game at all. a double header viii be
staged his afternoon. weather per-
on form Newark should put
away both games. though there's many
a slip between a double header and

DELEHANTY'S GREAT CATCH.

NEW YORK. Aug. 26.-In the third
inning of the game yesterday between
the New York and st Louis American
League clubs, with Howell. Stone and
Hartzel on the bases and two out, Hobe
Ferris smashed the bali to the left
field fence. The runners started for
home and Frank Delehanty after the
ball. 1T locke like a sure triple, but
D~elehanty judged the flying sphere well,
and his speed brought him to where he
could reach it. AS he was about to
make the catch his left ankle turned
under him and he fell, grabbing the
ball two feet from the ground as he
went down. The catch saved the game
for the New Yorks, but the young out
fielder will not play again for many
days. He was carried from the field to
the clubhouse. and there a doctor an
nounce that the ankle was severely
sprained.

Hurry Call From Traveller Who Didn't
Want His Card Game Stopped.
Theodore A. Hoppenjon, the union
depot barber, keeps a private mug for
Senator Clark of Montana and various
Eastern railway officials. He has
been called out Of bed at night to
shave an eccentric patron, but he said
last night that the demands made
upon him by r. T. Crane Saturday
night were new and decidedly inter
esting.
Crane IS in the implement business
and lives in Chicago. He travels
about the country in a private car.
Saturday night the Crane car was at
tached to the Santa Fe No. 9, in.
bound. AS the train neared Chilli
covered that he had forgotten his
safety razor when he packed for his
trip to Los Angeles. Crane had the
conductor Of his train telegraph the
Santa Fee agent here to have a bar
Der at the depot for him.
The train was late and It doesn't
stop here more than ten minutes
when on time. Hoppejon was notified
and was in readiness with his outfit,
the lather all ready made up. AS the
train entered the union depot at 1925
the barber swung on the private car
and had his patron lathered before the
engine was stopped. Crane, sitting in
the drawing Of his car, was en-
toying a game Of solitaire. The cards
were spread about the table and the
implement king did not appear to no
tice the BARRIERS presence. When the
lather brush began to tickle his mouth
Crane, without looking Up. inquired:
Does the game interfere with you"
When Hoppenjon replied. I'm here
only to shave" Crane placed the next
card carefully and went on with the
game. The barber finished in hvs
minutes, was paid by q secretary and
bowed out Of the car.
