SECOND PRECINCTS TO
PLAY MONTCLAIRS.

While the Tigers are endeavoring to
keep the baseball honor of the city
bright m u~ntarnished at Wieden-
mayors Park today, a sturdy band of
almost major league artists, who usu-
ally go about disguised as policemen
n who represent the Second Precinct
station, will be repelling another band
of invaders from Moptclair at Morris
Park.
Much sympathy would be felt for the
visiting nine from Montclair if it were
no for the fact that it is also a team
of police, who should be able to take
care of themselves. The umpire has
been assured that players of both rival
teams will not be permitted to carry
their guns and night sticks onto the
field, but will be compelled to check all
weapons at the gate.
Among invited guests who declare
nothing could keep them from witness
ing the game are President Harrigau,
of the Board of Police Commissioners;
Chief of Police Corbitt, Captain Brown
and Judge Herr.
The Second Precincts lineup is as
follows: Rosenfeld. catcher; Walsh.

INTO THE OLYMPIC TEAM

Bingham was known Martin Sheridan,
the hero of the last Olympic meet at
Athens, announced hat he would posi-
lively accompany the team to London.
He said that owing TO private affairs
he had at first decided to resign as a
member of the team, out he felt OBJ
liged to yield to the urging of his club
mates in the Irish American A. G., and
do the best he could to win points for
America In the English Stadium. When
Sheridan was told that his application
for leave of absence, as we'll as that of
Flanagan and McGrath, was refused he
was greatly surprised. He would make
no comment. however. other than that
it was too bad.
Just why Mr.. Bingham saw fit to
throw this bombshell into the athletic
camp at the eleventh hour, is a mys-
terry to those interested in the great
track and field sport. 1t was generally
understood that the applications of Nc
Grath and Flanagan had already been
granted. A month ago there was a
rumor to the effect that at the eleventh
hour certain members of the team
would bolt, and trouble seekers were
inclined to believe last night that the
loss of the three star weight mon was a
part of the plot,
Little stock is taken in this angle Of
the case, however by most of the web
informed athletic men.
They point out that Bingham's action
suits his character down to the ground.
The other members of the Olympic
team about town yesterday condemned
the commissioner in harsh terms.
