st. Bridget's Athletic Team, of
Jersey City, Picked to
Win Meet.

The handicaps for the Diocesan
Union games which are TO be held a
Hillside Park on Saturday Afternoon
We're announced today by the field day
committee in charge of the events
The entry list is larger thar last year
and some good performances are looked
for.
1t Is thought that st, Bridget's ath-
letic team, of Jersey City, has the best
chance of capturing the meet. While
this organization has not the largest
number of entries the athletes who will
compete are really clever performers.
st. Michael's Junior Holy Name So
cieyt has the largest number of en-
tries, twenty-five men being entered.
They are, however, not regarded as
dangerous, owing to the fact hat it
is the first time out for them.
The complete list of entries Is as fol-

Mercury Field Club to Enter
the NeWark=Sea Girt
Event.

Eight teams are already entered in
the EVENING STARS Newark to Sea
Girt relay race, which is to be held
early in September. The last club to
enter a team is the Mercury Field
Club. Captain Frank Wasco is certain
that he can get fifteen men to COM
pete for the valuable trophies offered
by THE SAR.
THE STARS efforts to stimulate in
terest in athletics is creating no little
ak throughout the State. That the
Newark-to-Sea Girt relay rae will be
the greatest event of it's kind ever at
tempted in this State is admitted on
all sides. Already clubs are taking an
interest in the race which have hither-
to been inactive in athletics.
Though but one team is entered from
Elizabeth, 1t Is expected that Betsey-
town will be represented by at least
three teams. Lieutenant Thomas Brady,
who will have charge of the course on
the day of the run, says that the course
will be we'll policed and hat the run
ners will ave an excellent opportunity
to show their worth.
The test Is almost as great a one as
the Marathon race, and 1t is generally
believed that 1t will be a permanent
athletic fixture in this State. The race
is purely amateur, so that clubs who
think that professionals will go in and
clean up are mistaken. Then, too, il Is
open for Jersey clubs only.
The following taken from the Pater-
son Guardian, gives an idea of the
widespread popularity the proposed
race is getting:
Down around Newark they are maxi
ing arrangements to hold the biggest
cro%ss-country meet ever held in this
section of the country. and the affair
is going to be limited to residents of
this State. The race Is going to be
held early in September, the date not
vet having been fixed, and it will be
for teams of fifteen men and the
course to be run will be from the Four
Corners in Newark to the Governors
cottage at Sea Girt, a distance of sev-
enty-flve miles.
Under the conditions of the race
each team can select it's own point
of relief for the runners, and this
should make the race doubly interest

MINOR Lacquer WANTS
A ICY YOUNG" SALARY,

BOSTON, Aug. president Taylor
has heard from his latest acquisition,
Joe Wood. the Kansas City pitcher.
Wood balks at joining the Red Sox, as
he wants a Cy Young salary and refuses
to report unless this is forthcoming.
The Red Sox magnate offered Wood a
salary about half as much again as he
got from Kansas City. and he would
draw an extra months pay, owing to
the length of the American League sea-
son, but the inducements failed to and
the pitcher. Wood adds that he has
gone to his home in Ness City, Kan,
where he will think the matter over and
write.

as most lawyers who make q comfort

that he serves good corporations only:
if he is or has been the attorney of
