the Bob Davis "Skeeters" down at
Wiedennayer's, n as an added at
traction the new purchased Tiger,
Beecher. of the Giants, will appear for
the first time and twirl one of the
games.
The fans will recall the nineteen
inning game played by the Tigers with
the Shelters when a record was made
in the baseball world. King Brockett
and LATTE were the opposing gunsmen
on that occasion, and from all ac-
counts Laitte will be seer here again
tomorrow. Perhaps Manager Stallings
will pit Brockett against his old Zoe.
and If this is done no doubt one ~
the largest crowds Of the season viii
be on hand.
Beecher's appearance will doubtless
serve to pull one of the largest crowds
that has yet been to the park this sea-
on. Another thing that the fans may
have a chance to see is Demmitt in

izatiOn.

The New Jersey Automobile and
Motor Club, of this city, will stand by
the American Automobile Association.
This action was decided upon at a
meeting of the board of governors of
the organization on Thursday night.
The action of the club and it's reasons
for deciding upon this stand are set
forth in tho following resolution, which
was adopted at the meeting:
Whereas. Statements have recently
appeared in the press representing
that the New Jersey Automobile and
Motor Club was about to sever its re-
lations with the Associated Automobile
Clubs of New Jersey and also IT'S re-
lations with the American Automobile
Association. and
Whereas. Statements have also ap-
peared that this club was not in accord
with the policy of the Associated Auto .
mobile Clubs of New Jersey in testing
the constitutionality of the law; there
fore be it resolved;
"First-That this club is and always
has been loyal to the Associated Auto
mobile Clubs of New Jersey and eX-
poets to remain SO, believing that the
fundamental principle of organization
is absolutely necessary for the success
of all undertakings.
"Second-That this club is in hearty
accord with the management of the
American Automobile Association and
has no intention whatever of severing
its relations with the association, but
desires to cooperate with it in it's eff
forts to better autonobilists and auto
mobile interests.
"Third-That this board is in hearty
accord with the proposed suit to test
