4 WOOD YARD CLEANING.
Uncle Sam Is Kidding National
Forests of Their Rubbish.

Uncle Sam has begun housekeeping job
that will probably last twenty years The old
gentleman always did hate rubbish lying
around in the wood yard being mighty neat and
particular in his habits, and it wasn't the work
for women folk. and the capitalist hired man
couldn't be trusted. he just rolled up his
sleeves and went to work himself. The ma
tional forests is the official name of the back
yard space that Uncle purposes to get shpshape
within a generation, and then he will invite the
neighbors n to have good time and shoot all
the bears and squirrels they feel like The
underbrush and fallen timber accumulated for
years are not only a general injury TO the I'VE
trees, but a menace in case OF a forest fire, so
the thing to do is to clean up everywhere and
burn the rubbish
A thinning out Of inferior trees, leaving the
finest and most perfect stand of timber. is going
on at the same time. AS matter of fact, Uncle
Sam is too shrewd to bend his own back at the
Job. but he supervises. through his foresters. the
work Of private contractors and sawmI men
He let's them cut down the undesirable trees and
makes them destroy the waste and old stuff A

doesn't dare to take anything except the marked

damage standing trees when they fall and rnuSt

BEST AMATEUR
CYCLISTS CHASED
into PRO RANKS
National Board Bars Them from
the Simon Pure
Bunch.

Charles Stein, of the Irish-American
A. c., the champion amateur cyclist of
America, has been declared "a profess
sional by the members of the board of
control of the National Cycling Asso-
citation. Along with Stein, George
Cameron, also of the Irish-American;
Louis Weintz, of the New York A.
c.; Oscar Georke, Frederick Hill, Peter
Drobach, Hugh Mcfarland, David
Mackay n James Zanes were placed
under the ban of the cycling officials.
Such action on the part of the board
of control of tho National Cycling AS
ISOLATION takes at one swoop the best
amateur cyclists in the country from
cycle racing. Stein is the present
champion, Cameron a former titlehold-
er, and the other eight riders lave won
many races for amateurs at the Velo-
drome and other tracks near Newark.
The ten riders barred from further
competition in amateur ranks have for
the past season won the majority of
the amateur cycle races.

Manager Stallings, who fought SO
hard to give Newark a winner, and
only failed at the last moment, is sorry
that the season did not last a week
longer. He said today that nothing
could have lost for the Tigers even
though the Orioles did have the top.
Manager Stallings was worked up to a
high pitch today when he fully realized
the extent to which the Orioles had
gone to lay down to the Grays in order
to beat him out.
The Tigers leader declares that the
Bengals were victims of q plot to keep
the championship out Of Newark. Jer-
sey City players openly charge Umpire
Stafford with robbing them of a chance
to beat the Grays in the thirteen
inning game at Jersey City last
Wednesday, when the Shelters had
tied the score and had two men on
the paths. One Of the officials openly
declared that the game would do
Providence more good h a it would
them and called the game.
From Jersey City the umpires were
shifted to Newark, and they did their
best to give the Tigers the worst END
of the deal. Manager Stallings will
fight that claim Of Catiz's incligibility
to the limit. He is satisfied that he Is
right and will not give up until he has
brought the matter to the end.
Had Newark Inc the loyal public
who supported US so we'll been given
anything like a quare deal or even a
half a square DEAL" said Manager
Stallings today. "the 1908 flag would
have been flying at Wiedenmayer Park.
The plot to beat Newark at all costs
was successful. Deliberate dirty work
and schemes to beat a team with the
aid OF incompetent umpires does not
help the game any, but before l am
through there'll be a whole lot of dirty
linen washed. and the Newark public
will see why the Tigers could not win.

'Best Team Newark Ever HAD
Victims of "Yell0w Brand
of Ball."
BY SAM MURPHY.

"The best team Newark ever had
did not get into second place when the
official bell ran yesterday ending the
fight, but il the weakest champion
club the league ever had had played
ball at Providence, Newark would
have wound up the 1908 season next to
the top. Out of the rank ending and
deliberate "1ay down" on the part
OF the Orioles comes the satisfaction
of knowing that the Tigers We're a
much better team than the Birds, and
when the bell rings next eason the
real battle will be between these two
teams Providence, who had something
on us for the greater part of the year,
disbanded last night in second place.
There is no glory for them in the po-
sition, as they were handed the games
pure and simple.
The seasons wLndup at Wicden-
mayors Park only bore out the long
held opinion of the Newark fans that
Jersey City would do all in it's power
to peat the Tigers. After all, this Is
baseball, though it did cost Newark
second place. The national game does
not get much benefit by such exhibitions
as those at Providence on Saturday

for sports sake do not care for a
position won by a complete lay down
on the part of a team that could win.
In third place Newark has more
glory and more honors than the
Orioles in first place. No team in the
league even made an attempt to give
the Tigers anything but what they
fought for. Even the umpires handed
out the short end of the deal wherever
possible. So that in third place the
Tigers got there by fighting tooth and
nail for every game.
In the face of the yellow" work of
the Orioles the windup OF the race.
instead of being a great battle, was a
farce.
Newark fans might justly feel proud
of the champion Tigers and of their
manager, George Stallings. The season
showed that the Tigers were superior
to the Orioles, who won the flag. and
then threw mud all over 1t by failing"
TO the Grays in order to beat the Tigers
out of second place. Had there been
anything like a "thrown" game at
Newark the fans would have gotten up
and rebelled. Instead of making them
selves popular on the Eastern League
circuit, the Birds will find next season
hat they have made enemies by their
exhibition in Clamtown.
1t was an uphill fight that the Tigers
had aver since they started the season.
Handicapped right at the start by the
loss OF two players whom he had
counted upon as being strong enough to
help out the Tigers in the weak spots,
Manager Stallings did the best he could
under the circumstances. He put Clyde

Orange Valley Pitcher Holds
Richmond Giants
Helpless.

Jimmy Taggart, who will pitch
against the Tigers next Sunday at
Wiedenmayer's Park, was graduated
into the no-hi class yesterday in Or
ange Valley, when the Richmond
Giants went down to defeat before him
by the score of 10 to 0. He pitched a
great game; in fact, one of the best
of his brilliant career on the local dia-
mond, and proved, beyond doubt, that
there Is in him the stuff that makes
pitchers with the arms and heads. This
is the second time in three years, TO
my knowledge, that a no-hit game has
been twirled by local men. The other
one l remember was a contest In
which Abe Welsher let down the Wood
stocks, of Belleville, without anything
that looked like a bingle.
Jimmy had everything yesterday, and
had the heavy-hitting Richmonds COM
pletely at his mercy at all times. Jimmy
Is looking forward to the game next
Sunday. He has said that he will not
pitch for Bloomfield against the Tigers
Wednesday, SO as to save himself for
Sundays game.
