Bengals Get Poor Start, but
Manage to Win in
End.
BY SAM MURPHY.

20 OWN in the Monumental City
this afternoon the Tigers will
begin their final series of the
season of 1908 with the Orioles, who are
within Il hair of the championship,
The Tigers are in excellent shape and
want to get two of the three games.
The Grays hope that they land all
three, so that their chances may be a
little brighter. Confident as they are,
owing to their work earlier In the sea-
son against the Birds, the Tigers do
not hope for a sweep. Two out of three
will be enough, and the same number
from the Grays would put them pretty
close to second place IL the Skeeters can
take a few falls out of the Clam Dig
gers, who begin a series at Jersey City
today.
McCann's Insects are playing mighty
good ball at present, and their pitchers
are working well. The Tigers, with the
exception of the eas game of Satur-
day, have had to fight all the time
in order to get away with the victories.
Yesterday it was an overtime struggle,
the Tigers winning out in the four
tenth inning after as good a game Of
ball as has been seen at Wiedenmayer's
Park this season. A big crowd of en-
thusiasts were on hand early to take
in the double header, but the second
struggle was called in the third with

UNION
TO HOLD CROSS
COUNTRY RUN
EVENING STARS Relay Has In.
spired Local Athletes in
Entire State.

Impelled by the successful ending of
THE EVENING STARS relay race
last Thursday, and anticipating the re-
suits that must accrue to amateur ath-
letics from THE EVENING STAR
Marathon race, the members of the
Catholic Young Mems Diocesan Union
held "a meeting yesterday afternoon and
decided on a cr~oss-country run to be
held Thanksgiving Day. This certainly
ought to prove a popular feature of the
days celebration.
Twenty-one associations were repre-
scented when Bernard J.. owens, of
Father Matthew'S Il. A. b., called the
meeting to order, and 1t was agreed
that the sanction Of the Catholic Young
Mems Amateur Athletic League Of
America should be sought, n with
this lone the distance of the cross
country Il and other details will be
completed this week.
The committee which will have the
affair in charge is as follows: b. j.
Owens, Il. A. b.; John Donagan, Belle
vile Catholic Club; Charles McCourt.
st. Bridget's Lyceum, Jersey City; John
Moran, Bloomfield C. c.; Frank
Coughlan, Catholic Institute. and John
Meehan, Elizabeth Catholic Young
Mems Lyceum.
These gentlemen will decide on the
prizes to be contested for.

Hope to Take at Least Two Out
of Three Games from
Orioles.

Stanage's pretty throw would have
nipped him, but Dngle let it get away
from him. DeGroff cleaned up with
a two-bagger. Bean sacrificed and De-
Croft scored on Merritt's out at first.
The Tigers cutsdown the lead in their
half. With Devore gone Kelly singled.
He annexed third on Demmitt's drive
to right. Engle raised a long fly and
Kelly came yer the plate.
When the game looked safe for the
Shelters our Tigers unloaded a few
hits that made Del Mason real angry.
And when Mason gets angry he can't
pitch ball. Devore laid a sweet little
wallop at DeGroff's toes. Then Kelly
laced a nice two-base swat past Zim-
norman in right field, and Devore
pulled up at third. Demmitt stung one
past Bean and the score was even up.
Mueller got stronger as the game
went along and Mason's curves seemed
to be breaking better. In the four
teenth Mullen stung a drop ball to left.
Mailing "a there with a sacrifice, and
Stanage's clout over De Groff's head
might have been good for three bases.
but Mullen had the winning tally over
the pan before Stanage got past first.
Young Cy Young III. went in for the
Shelters In the second game. but he
toyed with the time. and then darkness
saved the day for him with the Tigers
two runs in the lead.

every young man can enter. He doesn't
have to have a certificate OF fitness.
All that is necessary is to be clean in
his habits and ambitions He must be
filled with a proper spirit. Such a lad
will rise in the game. Do you want
proof? Look what the baseball world
is saying of George Wiltse, the Giants
southpaw. He was playing on the lots
around Syracuse, and Larry Sutton,
the father of the baseball graduates,
sent him to Troy. Wiltse didn't W
q glove when Larry sent him to Troy. A
year later he was bought by the Giants,
and today he is earning as much as
any professional man in New York
and earning it easily.
You might ask me. If o are
playing lot ball, what you must do to
become a ball player and make good
money. The answer is easy. DC what
you are told. Cut out booze, deny
yourself of the cigarette habit. Take
these as your cardinal "Don'ts," n ]
don't care what branch of sport you
enter, if o want to be successful in
it you must follow the above rules.
You fellows had a sample right here
in your own ball yard yesterday. There
was young Zimmerman, who played
with the Shooters. Only n short time
ago and he was playing for nat collec-
tons on the lots. Sutton picked him
up and taught him inside ball. Next
year this Jimmy boy will make you
take off your hats TO him. He has done
what he was told by his mentor. He
doesn't go after the mahogany thigh
ones" and he Is a careful liver.

SCRANTON WINS NEW
YORK LEAGUE FLAG.

SCRANTON, Pa, Sept. 1.-THE
Scranton team, under the management
of Malachi Kittridge, yesterday won
the New York State League pennant
by defeating Wilkesbarre. The team
can lose the remaining eight games
and still win out. This is the second
time a Scranton team has won the flag
in this league, the first being won by
Ashenbach's team in 1905.
Last year the club, under Ramsey,
lost the pennant by six points. Scran-
ton fans are preparing a big celebra-

Upon its return from W~ilkesbarre

darkness coming on fast.
Outside of the first inning, when the
Insects got away to a flying start, it
was a pitchers duel. Mueller pulled
himself together and gave the lanky
Del Mason a run for his money. For
fourteen innings the struggle went,
though at several times it looked as
though the Shelters would pull the
game out of the fire. Zimmerman,
whom Larry Sutton secured for Jersey
City, worked in right field for the In
seets, n though the young Newark
boy did not get in his hit he showed
that he has the class. Zimmerman
stands we'll at the plate and is a batter
that will make ANY pitcher nervous
when men are on bases. Jimmy got a
couple of free strolls yesterday when
things looked dangerous. His great
bid for a hit hat would break up the
game came In the sixth with Merritt
on second. Jimmy hit a low liner that
looked to be sailing safely when De-
wore came up out Of the darkness in
centre field, nailed the sphere, turned
a somersault and Their sbrawled on the
green, still hugging zimmy's drive.
Zimmerman is fast on the bases and
Is quick to take advantage of an open
ing. In the field he pulled down a fly
off Demmitt's bat that looked good for
a couple of sacks. Had Zimmerman
been slow on his feet the game would
have been cooked right there. Jimmy
will do for Eastern League company.
Shaw opened the cover with a safe
slam. Fox put down an attempted
sacrifice. but broke into the hit column
when Stanage failed to pick up the
ball. On to third went Shaw, and

Time for Thought.
With the passing, for the time, of
baseball the youths of this city and
county ought to settle back in their
idle moments and think of their flu
ture. Is the shop bell and factory
whistle always going to be their master
signal? Are they never to get a share
OF the applause on the baseball stage?
Are they ever going to get away from
the daily grind hat makes our Ameri-
can youths prematurely gray-haired
citizens, or are they going to resolve
TO be somebody and to do something?
On the baseball stage is offered more
chances for the betterment and self
advancement of young men than any
other institution, religious or educa-
tional; and that's saying a lot.
Any young man with a bit of brains
and some sand can learn to become 3
ball player. Any first-class ball playei
can carr more In ten years than he
could make in twenty years working
hard. None of you who read this doubt
it If they know anything. Hughey Jen'
nings is a lawyer, but he sticks to tho
game, and why doesn't he 40 to thu
BARI? Answer is easy. He can make
more dollars playing the game of base
ball than he could practising law. Johr
e. Ward, another lawyer, remained IL
the game until his usefulness as a play
er had left him. Yet he, too, was {

The topic that is consuming the local
nowadays is that benefit day,
Sunday, September Of, which will be
played by the Newark Eastern Leag-
uers and a, team composed Of the pick
of local semi-professionals. The team
has been picked by Manager William
Hagenbruck, of the Franklins, and the
list submitted to Bud Sharpe, who Sc
lected the team out of a long list last
night before his departure to Baltimore.
Out of discussion have come many sug-
gestions, good and bad, the best Of
which have been decided upon as the
features for the day.
First of all, Manager George 7. Stall
ings and the famous Mugsy McGraw
will umpire the game. Manager Stall
ings told Bud Sharpe yesterday that
both he and the scrappy umpire batter
of the Nationtl League would hold the
indicators. This will be the first time
that Newark fans will lave a chance to
see this famous umpire hater, Nc
Graw, in the role of his despised enemy.
These men are not going to umpire to
make a farce of the game, but In all
seriousness. McGraw and Stallings will
be given full power to throw any man
out of the game who becomes trouble
some.
Sharpe and the rest of the players
have decided upon a field day to pre-
cede the baseball contest. The compe
tition will be open to all men in uni
form. Long distance throwing, throw
ing for accuracy, running u hunts.
eircling the bases and fungo hitting will
form some of the events.
Immediately after these events tic
game will be started. 1t has been de-
cided not to play the Elizabeth Stars,
for the reason that the field events will
consume the time that might have been
given to h a event.
