CARTER THINKS MGINNITY WILL BE
STRONG ASSET FOR THE TIGERS

nouncement of Joe McGinnity pur-
chasing the control Of the Tigers every
fan in the city from the farth9st
down neck to the west end city line
in the Vailsburg section is jubilant,
and there is not a single one who
hasn't big hopes that the Eastern
League pennant for 1909 will be flying
In this city.
They figure it out this way: McCinnity
has had years Of experience under the
one and only one, John Scrappy "Mugsy'

York Giants, the real scrappers of the big
show, and figured in not a few stormy bat
ties on the field when the McGrawites We're

the wild and woolly West when soda water

thick and had to be lodged in order to win.
McGinnity is a real scrapper, but only
scrap when necessity calls for IT,. He will
undoubtedly make good at the helm of the
Tigers. He has been given the baseball
third degree" test In its severest forms
while working as a twirler for the-Giants
He was often forced to leave the box in the
midst of games at which thousands were

NEWARK BAY LOST
THREE Times TO

Latest Example of Triple Knock.
down in Athletic League
Games. sI
BY BERT

Big upsets in the Athletic League are
the rule rather than the exception this
season. Few of the leading teams hav
escaped unexpected and unpleasant set
backs at times when they needed most
to put victories to their credit.
The latest example was the triple
k~nockdown which the Newark Bay
bowlers suffered last night, right on
their own drives and at the hands OF
their most bitter rivals, the pin-kniShts
of the Jersey City Club.
Thos Bayonne performers. it may
be mentioned In passing, ave a more
or less chronic habit of being big con-
tenders for championship honors until
the END of a season approaches; III
they drop back and finish somewhere
near the bottom of the first division
This appears to be a habit which they
cannot overcome, and 1t is surely DIS
c%ouraging to a band of hard-working
''rooters" who let out all sorts OF en-
thusiasm over their pets and became
decidedly doleful when the crash comes

The Union county five and the new
York A.. C. quintet are now tied for fffst

tically on even terms with the leaders. ana
the championship will probably go to one
of the trio.
The Rosevilles will bowl at home next
week, meeting the Columbias.. while, the
New York A. C. five is scheduled to bowl
at the Jersey City Club, where they very
likely will meet with a stubborn defense
and a possible setback. The Elizabeths
will also bow at home.

MURPHY IN PARIS
 \ JOLLY GOOD SHOW
Second Night of the Second Bill of
 Jim Posts Company.

The second nights presentation of Murphy in Paris" at the Grand theater brought a very satisfactory audience, both as to size and charac- ter. It was the regular dance night. so only one performance was given, in stead of two, that the dancers might have the full worth of their money. Murphy in Paris is not quite so long bill as the Walking Delegate" but it is rich in comedy and in all the other features that make a show en- joyable, and, after all, it is quality rather than quantity that counts with thinking people.
 Among the features is the cham pagne dance from the Crystal Slipper. presented by the Buty Korus. and the song by Grace Oakes. You're Just the Prettiest Girl in Tokio," Another song hit is Aren't You the Girl I met at Sherry's." by Esco Ives and the girls.
 Jim Post, the star of the company. shone with his usual brilliance in the part of Patrick Murphy. The bill re- wolves around Murphy in a sensational way, but all the character players of the company have an opportunity to show their talents to good advantage, even though their individual parts are not so strong. Altogether the show is agood one.
