beth Y. M. C. A. Immediately after the
news reached them that their boys had
clearly won the great race held an im-
promptu meeting and there decided to

thusiastic over anything that rebounds
to the glory of that Elizabeth institu-

FARRELL GETS ONLY
y $500 FOR GRAPPkE.

Grapple, a Metropolitan Handicap
winner two years ago, the turf idol Of
the race-going public after he had won.
was sold for $500 yesterday at h
Gravesend track. H. Barry bought the
old gelding.
Grapple was stiff and sore when he
was led into the ring, and as his legs
were in bad shape the bidding on him
was light and desultory. James B.
Brady, another, of Frank ]. Farrelrs
horses. was sold for $500 to c. P. Pat
terson.
Sam Hildredth bought Woodcraft for
g. 500 from r. c. Doggett, who recently
bought the gelding from T. Hitchcock,
IT,, for So. 500. This was the highest
priced horse of the sale. H. B. Duryea
gave 81, 900 for Frizette. The other
horses brought small sums.

MACK GETS A NEW CATCHER.

PHILADELPHIA. Sept. 25.-Catcher
Egan, who caught for the Utica New
York State League Club this year. Joined
the Athletics in Detroit yesterday. Egan
comes to the Athletics with a good rep
utation, being a cleved baclkstop and
noted as a Simon-pure slugger. Waiv-
ers were asked on Schreck. and Chicago
was the only team which put in a claim
for him. It's evident that Connie wants
to build up his catching department, as
with Blue, Lapp and Egan now under
his wing. with Doc Powers as h only
veteran. the Athletics have a host of
backstop talent.

TEAMS IN DECIDING GAME

He was batted very hard. The score of
90 does not tell the story of the game
by any means. Bud Sharpe did no
flourish as a twirler when he relieved
Frtll, who was untouchable.
The Franklins will go to Englewood
tomorrow to play the West Side team
Of that place.
There is a southpaw IN Rutherford
who would make good with local teams,
II given a chance. He is Raynor, who
twirled so well for the Orange-Cliftons
in the Lackawanna League two years
ago.
Newschwander, of the Watsessina
team, has been playing a pretty nice
game this season. but he hoes not seem
to be hitting the way he should.
Since long and strange names seem e
have a peculiar charm In baseball now,
Catcher Schraudenbach, of the Modern
Woodmen, of Morristown, may hope to
be a big Lacquer some day.

sides, as announced yesterday, and the
game between the W~ashingtons and the
Turner's, on the Wright street grounds
in the afternoon, will furnish contests
Of great rivalry.
The Newannex A. C. and the Tigers
Of vailsburg, will have 1t put Sunday
morning, or the Num- avenue grounds.
These young players can certainly ca
wort some on the diamond.
On the Valley grounds Sunday the
Newark Colored Giants and the Plain
field Giants will play, taking the place
of the Orange Valley team. which will
not have a game because the manage
ment decided to witness the game be-
tween the Tigers and the picked team
of local semi-pros.
No definite action was taken last
night at a City League meeting over
the protested Lincoln Washington
game of last Sunday. The affair was
80 tangled that 1t was decided to post
pone action until next week. Umpire
Charles A.. McHugh was on hand to
explain the play which caused the
trouble, but during a protracted and
fruitless discussion of the game, he
was not allowed to take the floor.

Worm Ruins Cotton.

Prattville, September 5.-tspecial)-W. S. Fair brought to the city this morning several stalks of cotton from his field near here on which 80 or s5 per cent of the fruit is ruined by some kind of borer. Those who had seen the cotton said it is what is known as a sharpshooter. The stalks brought to town are admitted to be worse than a majority of that in the field, but MT. Fair says there is no doubt but that the entire field is hurt 20 per cent. The bug, worm, or whatever the pest may be, seems to bore in the boil and pass on. The bolls which have been bored into have been examined in many cases and no trace, save the hole. can be
