Benefit Game for Newark Club
to Be Held at Wiedenmayer
Park Tomorrow.
BY EDWARD p. DUFFY.

The field day and the game between
the Tigers and the picked team of city
and suburban semi-pros scheduled for
tomorrow in Widenmayer's Park ought
to bring out one of the largest crowds
In the history of the game In this city.
with Manager Stallings n Fighting
Mugsy McGraw, the champion umpire
batter OF the world, as umpires, the
game ought to bring the long afternoon
of sport to a close In acceptable style.
The field events that will precede the
game, beginning in the neighborhood of
2 o'clock. will bring out the sprinting,
throwing and batting abilities of every
player on both teams who are in uni
form. Josh De Wore will come over
from New York to participate. All the
players who think that they can get to
first base faster than the other will
have a chance to prove their claim.
Then there will be contests in accurate
as well as ong-distance throwing, and
the pitchers will TAX a crack at long
distance batting, fungo style.
These contests over, the game will be
started. Jimmy Taggart, of Orange
Valley, who made such a good showing
In Bloomfield Wednesday against the
Tigers, will be in the box with Bur-
dette, the great semi-pro catcher, receiv-
ing him. The rest of the team will be
made up of Nuremberg and Bausewine,
first base; Menchner, second base; Len
non, shortstop; Fax, third base; Mench-
ner, Mclaughlin, Reynolds and Schro-
der for the outfield.
All these men have been seen and
agreed to appear to play against the
Tigers. They are asked to meet at
THE STAR office tomorrow afternoon
at 1880 o'clock, If possible, SO that he
management of the affair may know
just where 1t stands in regard to line
up and to the financial end of the game,
so far as they are concerned.
They are asked to bring the uniforms
Of the teams with which they ave been
playing so that their W managers
may get the proper credit, for allowing
them a day off to play this game.
Over in West Hudson tomorrow the
Harrisons will play their double-header
in the Eugene F. Kinkead cup series.
They will nave one battle Zach with the
Pathways and the Arlingtons, which
teams are both ahead of them In stand
ing. These games ought to be the
most important of the series, for
either the championship will be de-
cided then and there, or the disputed
two games that the Harrisons have
with their opponents, will cut a great
figure. The Harrisons will try to get
the two games so that the disputed
games will put them in the running.
1t will be necessary, II they win the
two tomorrow, to play off the other two
a week from tomorrow,
In this mornings mail came a letter
to me from the Bloomfield management
anent the recent game the Tigers
played them. 1t Is as follows:
Dear Sir-The management of the
Bloomfield Baseball Club desire to ex-
tend to your valued paper and to your
self their hearty thanks for the efforts
made by you in bringing about the
game between the Newark Baseball
Club of the Eastern League and their
own club. on September %. We realize
that through the influence Of THE

Methods to Win Long.Dis.
lance Races.
BY OLD SPORT.

Entries are coming In as fast al
snow flakes on a real December NOV
fall, n the outlook for THE EVE
MING STARS Marathon Is brighter
than was ever expected. Much iear
apparently has been driven from the
ranks of the local runners with the
announcement that there will be sre-
c.al prizes for the New Jersey men
who show we'll to the front when the
fifteen-mile run Is ended. The news
Johnny Hayes would be heere 10 assist
the athletes who are going to enter this
event was indeed pleasing, not alone to
the men who are going to run, but the
public generally shows its apprecia-
ton of THE EVENING STARS effort
to do something out OF the ordinary.
Following the advice of well informed
men, including Hayes. the Marathon
will only be a fifteen-mile AFFAIR. Per-
haps in another yea when more run
ners are developed the course will be
made longer. The Sea Girt relay race
brought out the fact that there were
plenty of athletes right In Essex Il
ty, who can do a ten-mile run without
any hesitancy. All they need Is n 1T
tie encouragement, and this they will
receive from the worlds champion, ].
j. Hayes.
The Marathon hero will tell in these
columns from day to day the best
methods 10 adopt to become n runner
and what stride to practice to give the
runner added stamina, and he will ais,
tell Of the best methods for training
for such ar affair.
Many communications have been re-
ceived suggesting the date to hold the
| Marathon on. and all these were giver
due consideration before deciding or
October 21 next. There are many
athletic meets scheduled for next
month. and even the great part Of NO
vember Is taken up with important
meets in New York and elsewhere; and
the middle of October will not in the
least interfere with any one of these
days.
Those who intend entering will be
given amrlc time to study the course
over which tho Marathon will ne run
The ronds to be sclccted by Johnny

interesting chap. with gracious manner,
an affable disposition and always car
ries that perennial smile on his boyish
features. When the people of this city
have their f1rst glance ut Johnnie
Hayes, wonder and surprise will quick
ly follow. For he is nothing like what
the average person pictures a cham
pion to be-. Broad shoulders are not
found In his makeup. His facial con-
tour leans as much to the feminine as
1t does to the sterner sex.
Picture a smooth-faccd, black haired,
blue-eyed chap of 20, scarcely reaching
s feet 4 In his stocking feet and tipping
the scale beam at 125 pounds. and you
will have ON idea of the makeup OF
h worlds present champion. But he
is just chockful of pluck. The old
saying. ut takes a l-an horse for a
long race" stands pat in Hayes's case.
He does not carry an ounce of SUI
p%erfluous avoirdupois.
The London Marathon Is not the only
one in which young Hayes has figured.
His first long distance achievement
happened in April, 1907, when he I'm
ished third. Tom Longboat, the Indian,
carrying Off first honors, and Bob
Fowler nosing out Hayes for second
honors. Seven months later Hayes en-
tered the Yonkers Marathon Inc won
first honors. Then he made a trial In
tho Boston Marathon and came in sec
ond to Tom Morrissey, something like
twenty-one seconds behind the winner.
The little giants achievement during
the worlds athletic events In London

minds Of Americans. But Johnnie will

The management wishes to thank the
Tigers for the sportsmanlike conduct
they displayed during the game, which
was the best attraction that ever befell
to the lot Of a Bloomfielder to witness.
Lyons, who plays centre field for thu
Parksides. is a man who covers q great

work during the season.
Carroll has made a hit with the fans
Of Watsessing by his consistent work.
Van Zant, the third baseman of the
Velox team, Is a young slugger who
manages to get In a line of hits each
game.
The record young Ravens, of Wat
sessing, made this year ought to serve
him we'll for next year In getting a
good job. He has twirled some fine
games.
Corliss, the Mutuals' catcher, Is a
good man. He gives considerable
promise.
Kid Kurfess will pitch against the
Rosevilles tomorrow for the Tigers.
This boy Kurfess seems to be the lead
ing Juvenile pitcher. Next year ought
to see him doing well against the best
of them. He has some great little ball
players to back him up on his team.
Manager Flammer, Of the Washing
tons wants to have Mr.. Clark umpire
tomorrow afternoons game. He would
like Mr.. Clark to come to the grounds
in time for the game.
I don't think that 1t would be out Of
place to call the Second Precinct
Police team a good amateur team.
The record that team made this year
under the guidance Of "Stallings"
Jones, the roundsman, has made the
police department proud Of the club.

Albany, N Y. Aug 25.-Richard L.

testimony and report his findings upon
the charges filed against District At
torney William Travers Jerome of
New York county, by minority stock
holders committee of the Metropoli
tan Street Railway company. in re-
port submitted to the governor. finds
that each one of the series of charges
is disproved upon the evidence. He
recommends the dismissal OF the
charges. A request was made for Mr..
Jeromes removal
"My conviction upon the whole
case.' says Mr.. Hand in his report,
"is that the respondent has been
shown to have discharged the onerous
duties of his Office with zeal and abil-
ity. having the public good as his mo-
tive. and that no incapacity, indiffer-
ence or neglect of duty has been
shown in any case"
Dice Charge Fails.
The charges in the main accused
the district attorney of alleged neglect
of duty in not sufficiently prosecuting
alleged fraudulent acts of the Metro
politan and other railway companies
of New York, and also of the insur
ance companies, as developed by the
so-called Armstrong legislative insur
anee investigation.
One of the charges allege miscon
duct on the part of the district attor
ney in shaking dice in restauran
in New York city. On this charg,

A REVOLUTION TO FREE
VENEZUELA OF PRESIDENT CASTRO

The Hague, Aug. 25.-The Neither
lands today received an unofficial copy
of the second note sent by Venezuela
in connection with the difficulty be-
tween the two states. The cabinet
met today to consider the note, the
general tenor of which does not give
the Netherlands much encouragement
to persevere in its attempt to reach
a peaceful settlement.
Matching Up Trouble.
Washington, Aug. 25.-With the full
sanction of the state department of
the American government, and with
Holland, well organized revolution
is being planned to overthrow Presi-
dent Castro of Venezuela.
The revolutionary movement. now
being financed in New York and else
where, will become operative directly
after the rainy season in Venezuela,
which is about the middle of October.
1t is expected within a few months a
new Venezuelan ruler will replace
President Castro, an object which the
state department, Holland, Colombia
and the Venezuelan malcontents have
every confidence of accomplishing.
Money Is Pouring In.
Plans have already been begun for
inaugurating the revolution. Financial
backing is not lacking, as money is
pouring in from New York, as we'll as
from other sources. The amount avail
able to perfect the revolutionists' plan
may run up into the millions.
The leader in the plan has been bus
lily engaged in mapping out his cam
paign for weeks. His first step was to
consult the state department, and he
learned from both Secretary Root and
Mr. Bacon that while the United States
government could not support revolu
tionary movement, at the same time

No Evidence to Go On.
In his general conclusions Commits
sioner Hand says in part:
What information this committee
may claim to have as to the conduct
of the district attorney, upon which
they have assumed to make these
serious charges of improper motive,
abject veneration of mere money and
the possessors of money, neglect of
duty, official misconduct. conspiring
with criminals, throttling prosecutions
and defeating justice, We can only
infer from the fact that its chairman
and secretary seem to have signed
such charges as the counsel saw fit
their truth or falsehood. and the coun-
sci himself is forced to admit that he
had no greater knowledge or informa-
ton than they

temperamental qualities of Mr.. Jerome
have tended to bring upon him this
situation in some degree. A certain
