II wants a new constitution, more
equal assessments, more representa-
ton III the Legislature aud a change
in the distribution Of school money.
It tried hard TO get all this at the
last session, but accomplished moth
ing more than a committee to look
into the affairs there and report to
the legislature at It's next session.
Now it is kicking because this
committee was appointed long ago
and without its knowledge; and be-
cause only two members Of the ltgis.
lature on the committee come from
that section Of the state.
II South Mississlppl's dander con-
~tinues at its present high tempera-
ture, the fur will certainly fly when
the Solons Of the state are assembled
again at Jackson -ClarksdaIc Reg
lister.
The complaint being made by our
South Mississippi friends relative
to the appointment OF a committee
to look into the matters referred to
above and report n the next meet
ing Of the present Legislature IS
very unjust and uDcalIed for,

The first three members Of the

The Commonwealth can assure its
South Mississippi friends that these
gentlemen are liberal and broad
guaged. and that they have nothing
but the best interests OF the whole
State at heart
The members Of the commission
representing the lover house OF the
Legislature are also good and patri-
otto men, and, five Of the seven
being citizens OF the southern
division Of the State, we feel sure
tina. the interests Of that section will
receive careful and considerate at
tention when the commission meets
to deliberate on the matters referred
to.
There has really been but one
section and that the richest Of all
of the State left out in the selection
Of the commission appointed to dis
cuss and report on these important
matters to the Legislature.
The great Delta country has no
personal representation on the com
mission, but our people nave con
idence in the fairness and wisdom Of
the men composing same, and are
confident they will discharge their
duties faithfully and impartially.

TRADING on THE BLOOD OF CARMACk.

The prohibitionists of Tennessee,
clerical and lay, are trading on the
blood Of Carmack, and political and
personal perfdy are practiced and
applauded in the name of morality;
platform pledges and campaign
promises are kicked out of the door
on the Jesuiticai ground that the
end justifes the means, and the
state has never before fallen 50 low
in the scale Of integrity and honor.

two New Jersey horses were in the

Barring mlshaps, Frank Kramer

tomorrow afternoon. He is far better
in a shorter race than Jackie Clarke,
has the faculty of getting off better,
and, facing conditions which require
a sprint from pistol to tape, he is very
likely to prove the Australians master.
Clarke, however, will get the call in
the 1ve-mile championship Monday
afternoon, which is to be the Labor
Day feature. This will be run all in
one heat, and over a long route, with
the shifting conditions, the Australian
Is strong. Five miles is Clarke's favor

such a race. If he and Kramer ex-
change victories tomorrow. and Mon
day Clarke will still show one point
to the good in the championship table.
There may be some upsets in to-
morrow's race, for, being only a quar-
ter of a mile, there will be some other
riders who are to be reckoned with.
This race will depend a whole lot on
the start, and II Kramer and Clarke are
not right on the job there Is a strong
possibility of both getting shut out.
The least m~iscalculation will be costly.
The double program for tomorrow
and Labor Day offers some great sport.
Besides the championship tomorrow,
there is a pro" handicap with the

there is the pro" championship,

good racing should result.

NEWARKHR TAKES PRIZES AT FAIR.

At the Monmouth County Agricultural

to make a clean sweep In the single-coulb
white leghorn class. He also won tn.
$50 silver loving cup offered by I. NJ. Els
ton, of Red Bank, for having the best dis
play In the show.
Ryan had eight birds entered in the
single-comb class and he was pitted against
some OF the best birds in the country, in
GLIDING champions that have won prizes
at the Madison Square Garden show In
New York City and the poultry show held
at Boston each year. Richard Is. Fox,
of New York City. had his blue ribbon
birds at the show. but the Newark entry
was awarded the first prize. A prize
of $40 was offered for the best pen, and
the Newarker captured that. too. -

did 20 look particularly dangerous.
He had but one hit in ten previous
games. But Brady, trying to get the
| second strike on, put the ball in the
groove and Mike hit one on the nose
between first and second. and two runs
were over for the lead. McGinnity
hove to and then made Colvin pop.
For the end part of the ninth things
looked rosy for the Tigers. Jimmy got
one and Sharpe got a two-sacker out of
a Texas Lacquer that was very hard to
get to. A run or two seemed imminent.
The umpire called Jimmy out when he
tried to make home on Meyers's rap to
Yeager, and Sharpe was out at the
plate when Crisp plunked one in front
of the plate to Savidge. McGinnity
still had 9 chance to score a run, but
he went out easily by way of that
Corcoran-Cockill tunnel.
Newark broke into the run column
in the second inning. Gettman doubled
and Jimmy did his duty by sacrificing.
Sharpe hit to. Yeager and the latter
was on the point of trying for Jake at
home. The latter, however, had too
big a start and scored. Yeager hest
tated and then threw to first, too late,
however, TO tdtcH Duus McytIS lHel
famed and Sharpe stole second. Crisp
hit TO Corcoran and was thrown out
at first.
The second tally came in the third
on a nice piece of work by Bill Louden,
who, after he and Kelly had singled,
was on second. Bill came all the way
home from the keystone sack, while
Savidge and Cockill were fielding out
Schlahy. The first baseman's throw had
Bill by a step, but Louden Knocked the
ball out of Paul Krichel's hands for
a count.
The third and last run came in the
very mex inning, when Bud Sharpe
made the circle OF the bases on a single.
The ball ne hit at Yeager was very
hard to handle and Joe booted it from
behind second, where he got to 1t. Bud
kept on his way and was just round
ing second when st. Louis Joe made a
heave with the ball toward the middle
cushion. There wasn't anybody there.
and before Krichell could dig the
sphere from the ground the long Tiger
first baseman had scored.
The Newark star and Newark advertiser. [volume] (Newark, N.J.) 1909-1909, 1909-09-04

it was plain that he th~ird-sacker
had not been touched. In explanation
of his decision to the players, Ftnneran
said that Eddie had not touched the
plate. That was not so. There was a
Tiger kick for a while, but it awaited
nothing. The game is gone and what's
the use. There are two more today
and the Tigers are after them.
At that there might have been a
different story to the game If McGin-
nifty, who was warming up away down
at the clubhouse, had followed the
game very closely. Joe did not know
that Brady had forced a man over
the pan on a base on balls, making the
tally two for Montreal.
"Mac, slow Getting In.
If he had gons in at that point it is
not unlikely that he would have wor-
ried Mike O'Neil some, and the Royal
might not have made the bit that sent
the two runs across the plate. 1t
might be mentioned, too. when speak
ing about thing. that have to do with
luck, mat the poke that Mike made
was his second n eleven games.
As said before, the game was lost, and
here is the way il was played and lost

With the score 3 to ] for them, the
Tigers faced the Royals for the last
part of the next to h last inning with
smiles on their faces. George Cockill
set them to thinking a little bit by
singing right off the reel. but when
Yeager fell down by flying to Meyers
there was joy in town, and there was
still more when Sir Michael Corcoran
forced Cockill at second on a poke to
Zimmerman that left the former Buff
falo man alone on the bases, and on
first at that. But Corcoran worried
Brady over on that first bag jigging
about, and the first thing that the King
knew Mike had three and nothing on
him. OF course, 1t "a up to Brady to
get one over. and he did. Away went
the ball for a single, and there were
two on bases. Winter had struck out
every time before and he looked easy,
but, sure enough, the Tiger pitcher was
up, for he hit him with the ball, and
then, to make matters worse. he forced
in Corcoran by passing Kritchel. This
is where McGinnity should nave made
his appearance. But he did not, having
got mixed or the score, Mike O'Nei

GOLF GALORE At
FOREST HILL
Club Will Open Its New
Course on Labor
Day.

The Forest Hill Field Club has ar
ranged a fine program for Labor Day.
1t is expected that nearly 200 golfers
will cover the course during the
day. The tournament committee, con.
sisting of Robert Kuebier and William
Becker, will be on hand to make the
day a success. The scheduled events
include an 1S-hole, medal play, handi-
cap, and match play vs.. DOGGY. In
each event W cups are offered. There
will also be cups for the best gross
scores. Sweepstakes will be held in
both morning n afternoon.
The club will also celebrate the day
by opening three new holes to the play
ers for the first time, and 1t will be
impossible for the golfers to make such
low scores then as they have been
making In the past few weeks, as two
of the holes are oyer 500 yards long
and the third Is a ravine hole, about
100 yards long.
Thomas Gourley, the clubs profess
sionaI, has been working hard all sum-
mer getting the new holes in condition
He has been careful In selecting the
top soil for the green's, and he has done
his best to make the Forest Hill curse
rank among the best In New Jersey.
The two new 500-yard holes are di>
rectly west of the clubhouse, and will
be known as Nos. l and 2. The holes
are parallel and the ground which they
occupy Is bounded on the south by the
Erie Railroad and on the north by
Delavan street. while Mill street forms
its eastern boundary.
"A player starting Monday to cover
the new ourse would go just west of
the club, across Mill street, and there
would find the new No. / hole, which
is 500. yards long. After playing this
hole the player would find that the
new No. 2 hole is just south of the
No. 1, and is also nearly 500 yards long.
After playing this he would find him.
self back at the clubhouse. The new
third hole Is a shot across the Second
River, about 100 yards over a deep
ravine. A player, after crossing the
ravine, will n himself at the old
first hole, which will be known as No.
4. Old No. 2 will be 5, and so on
around the course. The three holes
east of the Orange Branch of the Erie
Railroad have been discontinued.

Perhaps Patricio T. Powers, grand
cadi of the Eastern League, is enamored
with Newark inc its baseball team.
Perhaps he is not. If the rotund man.
ager of Marathon stars is really in love
with Newark from a baseball viewpoint
n can scarcely discover il with a
microscope. Local fans believe that he
is the best president that the Marathon
League ever had, but they cannot for.
get that the board o. directors of the
Eastern League reversed his decision
in a disputed game with Montreal.
The amiable Mr.. Powers ordered the
game to be played over again; the di-
rectors awarded the game to Newark.
That's the difference. McGinnity was
suspended for three days when the
team needed his services at all times,
but just why McGinnity was set down
is a matter of conjecture. Perhaps &.
