before attempted by any light harness

$1,000. J;eadville gave such a purse
in 1900 for stations, which was won
by Cresceus, 2:02A. In 1883 the Buff

eff $4,000 for all trotters. which was
won by Sensation, a son of Ethan AL

fered for frce-for-al trotterS irreSpec-
tive of age or sex.
This advance of the New England

its of al competitors proves beyond
cayil that the cavaliers of the trotting
turf abide in the land of the Puri-
tans
The winner OF this event will receive
$4,000, Il sum larger than any trotter
ever competed for: the second horse
will win $4,000, an amount greater
than first money in any of the classics,
and will not get a record, an advantage
to u green horse. The fifth horse re-
ceivcs $500 and the sixth horse $1,000,
which il $500 in excess Of it's entrance
fee.
There is no doubt but that it will at
tract a large list of entries ard that
every stable from the most remote
parts Of the country will be repre-
sented Entries to the six early clos

GOODWIN AND HURLEY FIGHT
SIX ROUNDS TO A DRAW

New York, April 2.-Jack Goodwin
and Battling Hurley, two clever light
weights, fought six rounds to a draw
last night in the Sharkey Athletic
Club. There were 1000 enthusiastic fight
fans present and the police must have
had their ears clogged with cotton
not to have heard the wild cheering
and stamping that marked each blow
struck.
The fight was one of the fastest and
most vicious that have been seen in
New York in many q day. Both little
fellows were determined to win, and
the terrific manner in which they
slugged each other kept the spectators
in an uproar from the first blow until
the final gong sounded.

National League assembled in President
Pulliam's Office yesterday and had a long
confab on the playing rules and other
pertinent matters. The umpires on hand

tombstone. who is still in bed recovering
from an operation for appendicitis in De-
cember last. tombstone is not expected

IN THE WORLD OF SPORTS.

Three weeks ago Pulliam sent registered
letters to the eight league managers call
ing attention to the habit some players
have of throwing their bats after hitting
the ball, and the likelihood Of INJURY to
some other player therefrom. McGraw,
it appears, did not get his communica-
ton. for no postoftice receipt card came
back from his letter.
Chance and Clarke are two players
whose bats sometimes fly around and
make things uncomfortable for a nearby
player, and the only manager who re-
Piled to Pulliam on the subject was
Clarke. He wanted to know what the
scheme was to prevent his bat slipping
or throwing his bat at a pitched ball.
Pulliam informed him that it was up to
him to find out before the umpires had
occasion to get after him. Pulliam said
he has a plan to stop bat throwing. He
explained it to his umpires, but did not
make it public.
Printed copies of the league constitu-
ton were received yesterday, and for the
first time they contain the Fleischmanr
resolution which gives to the president
full power in dealing with objectionable
tactics. The resolution is added to Sec
tion % and is as follows:
In al! cases where charges are prefe rr-
ed by any regularly appointed league
umpire against any player for violation
of the playing rules or for any conduct
on the ball field prejudicial to the good
repute of the game of baseball the pres
ident shall have the sole jurisdiction to
pass upon said charges and infict pen
alties. If any, subject only to the re-
strction that in no case where eXpul-
sion is fixed shall same be put into eff
feet until ratified by the board of di-
rectors.

SIGN BOARDS
FOR THE STREETS

Not so many years ago, the time
when Bridgeton was anxious to- have
letter carrier service in Bridgeton,
the Oity Council. complying with the
regulation OF the Post Office Depart
ment. caused the streets of the city to
be marked with sign boards bearing
the names of the thoroughfares. A
good deal of lumber was used in the
job and the expense was considerable.
There are few if any OF those old sign
boards In existence to-day, and II
there are any the painted letters have
long since been obliterated by ex.
posurs to tine weather.
The Oity Council has recently placed
an order for 1000 street signs. the ex.
panse of purchase being S24O. It is
money we'll spent, mighty we'll spent.
The marker agreed upon Is the same
that is used In all large cities. It Is
iron with blue enamelled back.
ground and white letters. II is prac.
tioaliy indestruotible and there is no
paint to fade, wash or wear off.
In purchasing 1000 signs the city has
not been extravagant. It is really re-
markable when you stop to think of
the Intersections in the forty miles Of
streets. The thousand markers will
by no means place one on each of the
four corners.
Ihe street and road comm Ittee has
quite Bit of work to do to figure ous
all the names and make up the divi-
sion of mum bers required. Il is a safe
venture to suggest that there is not a
person, not single one, in Bridgeton
so.day who can give the names of
svery legally opened s.reet and ave.
nue.. without referring to the records.
Broad is the oldest street in Bridge
ton. Ii was laid out 100 feet wide
previous. to 1850, and other strests
west of tie Oohansey followed. Com.
merce street was laid out in 1857.
Atlantic street between Broad and
Commerce was laid out in 1900. Com
cree street above franklin was laid
ont in 1906. East Commerce stree
was laid out In 1775. Laurel street
was relaid 1871. In 17S5 South Pearl
and Willow streets wers laid out.
Irving avenue was re-laid as now in
1878; Marion street in 1899. Bank
street and Washington streets in 1880.
Orange in i84l. Pine street In l847,
etc.
On May 9Th, 1883. a meeting of the
Inhabitants of Bridgeton was held and
q committee appointed to take a census
and name the streets. The committee
concluded It's work and reported at a
subss quent meeting held on the 22d nf
the same month. The number of in.
habitants was reported as 2,Sl6 and the
street committee reported the names of
'tRe streets the same as they are now
with the exception OF the streets that
have been opened and dsdicated since
