to give stability to the existing vol

AGAIN OWING TO

D0wnpOur of Afternoon Puts
Track in Unsafe Condition
for Evenings Sport.

Again the mid-week bicycle races at
the Newark Velodrome which were to
be run last night had to be called off.
The rain which came down in torrents
during the afternoon made the track
unsafe for the riders.
The two-mile tandem handicap for pro-
fessionals will be the star number on the
program Sunday afternoon. Kramer. Fog
Ter, Bedell. Bardgett, Root, Moran, Butler
and a host of other stars will start In this
race, and as it is a handicap affair, each
team that completes will have an oppor-
tunity to carry off the money. The race
will probably be run off In trial heats and
a final. A new outfit of machines has been
secured for the race and it should prove
one of the most popular numbers that has
been put on this season.
There will also be a big ten-mile open for
the pros, with q 81 incentive hung up for
the leader of each lap, and as there are
sixty laps to the race ii means Just that
many sprints to get the money In this one
event alone.
A field of 100 riders has entered for the
amateur events, which include a fve-mile
open, with a special prize TO the winner of
the most laps, a one-mile handicap, and a
half-mile open for non-winners or a prize

MCCARTHY SUSTANS FRACTURE OF ARM:
MAY NOT PITCH AGAIN THIS SEASON
Former Eastern Leaguers Doing
Star Pitching in National
League.

Tommy Mccarthy. the Boston Ma
tionals' crack twirler, who has been
pitching phenomenal ball for the Bean
eaters since he was traded to them by
Pittsburg, has sustained a fracture OF
his pitching arm, according to dis
patches received in this city. In a
game early this week against Pittsburg
the former Newark pitcher was sliding
home to score a run when he met with
the accident.
1t was a foolish slide for Mccarthy,
the Boston papers declare, as the
Doves were four runs ahead. Still Nc
earthly was playing the game for all
he was worth. At first Little Macs
injury did not look serious, but 1t Is
now stated hat he may not be able to
play again this season.
While McQuillan, the Phillies great
pitcher, mas been doing wonderful work
on the mound. McCarthy's exhibitions
have been even better than the other
former Eastern Lacquer. only the loss
Of two games have been charged
against him. and in these he was beat
en- by the Cubs. He has trimmed st.
Louis, Pittsburg and Cincinnati every
time he has pitched a game.
His work was beginning to receive
the proper encouragement. and many
believed that he would prove the star
of the National League this year. Hun
dreds of Newark baseball fans are
sorry to hear of McCarthy's injury,
especially when he had a chance to
distinguish himself in the baseball
world.
And by the way, the former Eastern
Leaguers are certainly holding their
own in the National League this year.
McQuillan has pitched wonderful ball
for Billy Murray at Philadelphia.
Foxen, who could hardly make good
in the Eastern League early this year,
was purchased by Murray for the
Quakers when his team was going a
little bad. Foxen has lost but two
games, and one of them went to the
Giants, though errors handed the New
York club the game.
Foxen has beaten all of the Western
hub OF the National league. yester-
day besting the Cubs in the second part

The move to regain Kelly's services
was made as a result of a petition

The Bisons seem to have blown up.
