HELD HIS OWNW WITH
FIGHTING JOE JEANETTE

Athletic Club, a new organization,
Both men are heavyweights, I'M for
the brief half hour the bout lasted 1t
| was as fast a fight between big men as
has been seen in New York in years.
jeanette had the better of the first
three rounds, his stiff left-handed jabs
to the body and ~right-handed smashes
over the kidneys bothering the Chicago
man considerably. In the final three
rounds, however. Barry came back
strongly n punished his opponent
severely with telling right and left
body punches. No decision was rem
dered. and it appeared to the specta-
tors as If it would have taken at least
a dozen more rounds to decide the
question of superiority"
This fight will place Barry in line to
go ahead and challenge other heavy
weights of championship calibre. But
he must first give Stewart another
chance II he must dispose of him be-
fore he can cross the ocean n ask for
a fight with johnson or Burns. His
manager has this voyage trip in his
bonnet and he says that Barry is going
over to Paris and reap In all the money
he can, which seems TO be plentiful In
that country. Burns might TAX the
Porkopolis boy on the resined floor
and I think that with a little more sea-
soning Barry might be able to give the
chief lemon-squeezer a fast go, but
honestly I don't think he is fit yet to
whip Burns. However, there Is money
in sight for the Barry man and his
manager.
Terry McGovern Is slated to meet

NEWARK ATHLETES HAVE
GOOD CHANCE TO WIN

School of New York, st. Paul's, Of
Garden City, and other institutions.
Owing TO the mixed entries 1t would
be a difficult task to attempt to dope
out the winners of the various events.
The Newark institutions appear to
have exec lent chances in several
events, especially in the pole vault. in
which Curtis, of Newark High, and
Weeks and Hill, of Newark Academy,
are entered.
The majority of the Academy boys
will compete at the games of the Peek
skill Military Academy at Peekskill
this afternoon.
The only battle apt to develop be-
tween the two local schools will be in
the 220-yard dash for juniors, in which
W. Hendricks. of the High School, and
L.. w. Nichols, of the Academy, will
run in the same heat.
The former is also entered in the high
jump and in this event E. Salmon will
represent Newark Academy. In the
440-yard novice Seton Hall is we'll rep
resented and may come out on top.
Neither Newark institution is entered
in the long runs.
The next event of Importance in
school circles is the dual meet next

TWO TROTTING BODIES
WILL HOLD MEETING

NEW YORK, May 9.-In an effort
to bring about a closer utilization and
general uniformity in rule drawing
in the two trotting horse associations
of America, the National Trotting AS
ISOLATION and the American Trotting
Association, committees of both organ
izations met today at the Murray Hill
Hotel.
The remedy suggested, which will be
carried out, is that the two congresses
shall meet hereafter in the even years
biennially, as now. but that the A1neri
can Association shall change its con-
gress to the second Wednesday in Feb
ruary, the same date as the National

meetings will be going on at the same
time and the rules car be considered
by a joint committee.

Pat POwers's Official Is an Ac-
cidentaI Umpire Who Has
Had His Bumps.
BY KIDDO.

No n ever said an umpire was
born. Everyone now and then says
they are dead ones. 1t is sometimes
interesting to note just how some of
the arbitrators get their start on the
diamond. Most of them. of course, are
former ball players. and as a rule they
make the best officials. understanding
the ball players. Not that all former
ball players made Jumps" They do
not. By the way. I did not mean to
say that there are any good Jumps
All umpires are bad. as Gym Bagley
used to say, but some are worse than
others.
Now and then we find an umpire like
Silk O'Loughlin, who at one time was
not a ball player. If there is a pos
sibility of there being good umpires,
silk O'Loughlin could be classed as
one.
1t was Silk o'Loughlin who was re-
sponsible for the appearance of Bad
Bill Sullivan, known over the circuit
as Smiling Sully." But Silk is not to
blame for Sully's repeated appearance
on the diamond.
About four years ago Bad Bill sulli-
van, and as he is known. locally, the
"Nowheres neal umpire" was peace
fully watching a game of semi-profes-
sional baseball in Rochester, N. Y,
Somehow or other the regular umpire
did not show up. One of the players
saw big blue hoary-headed Sullivan il
the crowd. Sully was prevailed upon
to go in and umpire. He did with
great success. There was not a kick
during the game. This game will
never be forgotten by Sully, as he has
had his bumps ever since. Silk, vino
lives in Rochester. heard of this great
feat and urged Sully to take up the
profession. Sully went to the New
England League and made good from
the jump. Pat Powers engaged hin
and he went through a season In thu
Eastern League. Then ven out tc
the American Association. His frs
game was at Louisville. where he was
chased from the grounds by the Bottle
brigade.
Sully bumped in bad here at the star
off. He says he will never forget New
ark. We will never forget Sully.

TRAVIS WINS
OVER TRAvERS IN
GOLF TOURNEY
Also Defeats Seeley at Garden
City and Will Meet Saw
yer Today.

GARDEN CITY. n. Y. May 9.-The
feature of yesterdays play in the golf
tournament over the Garden City links
was the defeat of Jerome D. Travcrs
by Walter j.. Travis, of the home club,
in the second round of match play.
Travis won by 8 up and 2 to play.
In the semi-final round Travis had
the better of c. H. Seeley, of the Wee
burn Club. Conn, by 4 up and 2 to play.
The other semi-final match resulted in
a victory for C. E. Sawyer, of the Mid
land Golf Club, which adjoins the Gar
den City links. His opponent was C. A.
Spofford, another Garden City player,
who was beaten rather handily by Z UP
and 6 to play.
Today the final round of sc holes
match play will be played between
Travis and Sawyer, and the form shown
by Travis, the twice national cham
pion, stamps him as the logical winner
of the first cup.
Conditions were much more favorable
yesterday for the tournament, as the
wind had gone down, the rain had
ceased. and the cold had given way
to moist, warmish air.

ESSEX BASEBALL CLUB
WILL OPEN THEIR SEASON.

The Essex baseball club will open
their season tomorrow afternoon on its
grounds, Essex Oval. Thomas and Daw-
son streets. The opening attraction will
be the strong Newark A. A. The Essex
Oval has been put into first-class con-
dition and a large crowd is expected,
as both of these clubs ave a large fol-
lowing and are both capable of putting
up a fast article of ball.
The Essex management made a good
move in booking the Newark A. A. for
the opening game, as the Newark's are
beating all their rivals right and left
and will surely make the Essex boys
hustle to keep from losing their OPEN
ing game. A large delegation of city
officials are expected to be on hand
and an alderman will pitch the first
ball. Game called $3.50 sharp.

HOTEL ABLAzE,

JEWELS IN ROOMS
Patrons at the Gramatan, in
BrOnxville, Rush to Street
in Night Clothes.

NEW YORK, June 9.-Fire drove $50
scantily clad patrons of the Hotel
Gramatan, a giant summer hotel, stu
ated in Lawrence Park, Bronxville, to
the street, early today. h flames,
caused by the explosion of an alcohol
lamp, did $780, 900 damage to the hotel.
A fortune in jewels and other personal
effects was lost by people living at the
hotel.
G. F. Jones, who was sleeping on the
second floor, was awakened by the cell
ing falling upon him. He escaped in his
night-clothes, crawling on his hands and
knees to a fire-escape. He left 81, 900 in
jewels behind.
Mrs. Albert Henry De Forrest lost
$4,000 in jewels, Mrs. ]. L. Baggoth lost
$4,000 worth, Mrs. G.. II. Humphrey lost
$4,000, and G.. Douglass Potter lost $1,000
in Valuables. These and the Jewels OF
other guests are buried in the ruins.
The telephone girls, Ollie Harrison
and Jean Walsh, stuck to their switch
boards and called up every guest until
answered. In this way every one who
had not been aroused by the explosion
was notified of the danger.
In nondescriDt attire, some wearing
blankets and others arrayed in bor-
rowed garments, the guests streamed
out. The Gramatan's elevators were
kept running.
