Thousands Pay Homage to No

Parade This Afternoon.

Today is the day when the horseman

This afternoon over 800 horses will
start from Washington Park on their
march to the speedway, where half
mile brush races will be held.
The parade is the ninth annual of the
Road Horse Association of New Jer-
sey and promises to be the greatest
event of its sort ever held.
That more interest is being taken by
not only the members of the Associa-
ton, but all horsemen, is evident by
the liberal response to the call for en-
tries.
In the line this afternoon there will
be 100 more rigs than ever before APP
peared In a light harness horse parade.
Vehicles of all descriptions will be
represented, with the speedway and
matinee horse in the majority. This
however, Is rs it should be. The parade
is the result of an association hat de-
ponds upon the matinee and speedway
horse for It's existence. 1t Is but
natural then that they should cater to
this Gloss of horses.
1t is small wonder that the parade
promises to II be the greatest affair of
Its kin ever held, since the association
is the largest in the world as we'll as
the most successful.
Everything indicates that the efforts
of the committee and Grand Marshal
Henry Wander Roest will be appre-
ciated by large crowds at the Speedway

"RILEY IN H BOX"

casey at the Bat must now take {
back seat, for that popular verse ha'
been superseded by RILEY in the Box
by John r. Robinson:
There's been a lot of smoking ovel
Casey and his bat.
And how he didn't hit the ball. and
other CUFF like that.
They've made some rhymes about hin
that have sort o swelled his fame;
But what's the good of cracking up the
mutt that lost the game?
I'd heard about this Casey and the way
he smashed them out,
I'd heard about his posin' just to draw
the bleachers' shout.
So when we tackled Casey's team we
may be sure l tried
To put a lent in Casey's fame and
puncture Casey's pride.
For those of We who seer the game it's
easy to recall
That they'd have won and we'd have
lost had Casey hit the ball.
Twas in the mint, wild bases full, that
Casey came TO bat.
An, Lordy, how the bleachers cheered
when on his hands he spat.
l doubled up an then unkinked, an let
the horsehide fly.
"Thot's not me stoyle," said Casey. as
he let the ball whiz by.
Stroke wan!" the umpire shouted, an
I thought there'd be a fight.
But Casey sort O. turned and said: BE
quiet. lads; he's right"
Agin | shot a screamer, an 1t whistled
Ger the plate.
If Casey thought he'd strike at it. he
thought a bit too late.
"Stroike tuhi' the umpire beloved, but
the bleachers didn't shout.
l looked at Casey and 1 saw his smile
was dying out.
/ braced myself and sent wan in me
peecoolyer style,
An Casey swung wild all his might and
missed it by a mile.
No matter what the poetry says of
Casey at the bat.
That was the way it happened, you can
bet you coin on that.
The bands were playing somewhere, but
twas not in Casey's town.
They serenaded Riley; he's the man
who put him down.
An so skidoo for Casey's fame. his
numbers twenty-three.
Twas Riley was the hero-Pitcher Riley.

Another foreigner seeks to take away

few days ago under the wing of Harry

plans of Griffin, Pollok said:
Griffin is going after Attell and he
will make h featherweight champion
of this country dc some mighty tall
hustling to hang on to his title when
they meet. My man is one of the great
est fighters that England ever turned
out. There is nothing clever about him;
he just fights from the first bell until
something drops. Generally it is the
other fellow. Why. I saw him knock
out Jem Bowker in England in eight
rounds; and say, he's a wonder with
h wallop. He has a punch just like
Young Corbett Used to pack, and he
fights just as Corbett did when he de-
feated Terry McGovern. He is % years
old and weighs about 12S pounds now.
He a make the featherweight limit,
and will fight Attell before the club Of
fering the best inducements. He
fought a twenty-round draw with Dris-

RIVAL SCHOOLS
AWAITING GUN
IN DUAL MEET
Newark Academy and Hotchkiss
School Teams Struggle for
H0nors This Afternoon.

Newark Academy and the Hotchkiss
School. of Lakeville, Conn, will meet
in their first dual athletic meet on the
Academy's new field, Seventh avenue
and First street. this afternoon. The
Academy athletes have cleaned up In
other meets, but, in spite Of their rec
ord of fine achievements on the cinder
path and track. they have reasons for
not being oyer-confident Of beating the
crack New England school squad.
Last Saturday, for instance, the
Hotchkiss School defeated the Pitts
field, Mass, High School in a dual meet
by the overwhelming score of "A to "a,
but at the same time the Academy
team carried off first honors In the
school meet at Peekskill, N. Y, beating
out the Erasmus Hall High School,
which finished second. by more than
twenty points.
The list of events for the meet this
afternoon takes in a 100-yard dash, 220-
yard dash, quarter-mile run, half-mile
run, mile run, 120-yard hurdle, 220-yard
hurdle. shot-put, hammer-throw, broad
jump, high jump and pole vault.
In the 100-yard event the Academy
has a trio of good sprinters in J.. Leh-
man. G. Buckley and Fl. Van Doren. F.

BY L SPORT.

Well have to take our merry widow
straws off to the British sporting public.
After all, they are not so much slower
than a Philadelphia policeman. They
are actually tumbling to the fact that
Tommy Burns is over in England for the
sole purpose of separating the public
from their change by means of lemon
squeezing.
Even over in Ireland the few sports
there are tired of our champions finan-
cial fighting and refuse to give in to his
demands for a return fight with Bill
Squires. King ED" must be given the
credit for being the first one to see that
Burns was out for the coin n not to
entertain and amuse the English public.
Some of the blooming Britishers. yer
know, haven't tumbled yet. They think
that Burns is there for sports sake, and
there is a hot debate going on over the
champion that may only be settled by
the House of Lords or some other fight
ing organization.
The latest one to call Tommy beauti-
full bluff is Lord Lonsdale. Tommy and
his press agent have got the British
public pretty well stirred up, while the
dark cloud in the rear is urging the
enemies of Burns into calling his bluff.
Since Jack johnson went over to Lon
don and offered to meet Tommy at rea-
sonable figures and Burns refused, the
British folks realize that they were
feeding a financial king and not a
fighter.
According to cable reports Lord Ions
dale broke into print recently and sent
a hot dispatch to Burns, telling him "
ought to fight Johnson on the same
financial terms that former heavyweight
champions took on their opponents.
The British lord further stated that
he did not think it was up to Burns to
decide the size of the purse. This dis
patch was printed in Ireland Inc put

McQuilIan Making Good.
1t is a long time since any one from
Paterson did anything that would re-

branch of sport. even though some of
them will not admit it.
Just glance ever yesterdays Pitts
burg and Philadelphia game and note
the name of the little boy from the silk
town that handed over the goods for
Billy Murray's Quaker team. If there
is a big noise in the big leagues this
year, it is McQuillan, and his record up
to date is one to be proud of. He has
beaten all the big teams with ease, and
Paterson may yet have a chance u

Cycle Racing Sunday.
With a limited field from which to
draw cycle stars, the promoters of the
Newark Velodrome are doing very
we'll. They have been able to get out
the old-time crowds, and now the only
thing is to keep the sport clean and
on the level. Tomorrow the promoters
will again try to serve up some lively
races, n with new systems which
they are thinking of introducing they
hope to hold the good will of the pub
lie. A week & l pointed out that
there was a field for cycle races here,
and with careful attention to clean
sport they could get the bike game on
its legs again. Even the promoters
do not expect the sport to flourish as
it did in years gone by. out they feel
that they will be able TO give a card
of races that will offer some good, ex-
citing finishes, and that is what a
crowd wants.
