THE change from the original plan
of playing the soccer football
games of the public school
leagues proved a complete success yes
terday afternoon when eighteen Of the
teams played at Branch Brook Park.
As usual there was a tie game. This
time the rivals who battled to a draw
were the representatives of the Frank
lin School and the Thirteenth Avenue
boys, each having scored once. In the
other four gamesB urnet Street defeated
the Washington Street boys, 10.
Miller Street took the measure of the
South Market Street aggregation by a
2 to 1 count, while the Bergen Street
ers BANKED Belmont Avenue, 2 to 0.
In the Junior organization the Bruce
Streeters are now leading the league,
having won two games and lost zone.
The Bergen Street juniors emulated the
example of the senior team of the
league, winning from the Burnet Street
team, 2-1. This ties up the standing
between Thirteenth Avenue and Bur-
net Street. Miller Street got the de-
cision from Camden Street by 4 to O,
and Bruce Street defeated South Six
teenth Street, 3 to 0. Fifteenth Avenue
was the victor over the Elizabeth
eleven by a 4 to l score.

Sporting Pages

Jack Dunn and Hugh Duffy held q
rather lengthy conference, but neither
would commit himself on the subject
ing the coming season. 1t was thought
also that Smith might possibly man
age the Rhode Islanders in 1910, but
the former Bison leader said he had
made no arrangements to date. Catcher
Ryan will remain at the head of the
Jersey City club for the season of 10,
and he says that his team will make a
much, better showing than did the
Skeeter aggregation of 1909. 5
The Montreal Club is also said to be
after a new manager. and, according to
rumor, the Royal owners are sweet on
Jack Dunn. 8
Chaplin is highly elated over the sue
cess of the Bronchos. and Camel is a
fixture in the Flower City.
Tim Hurst was also present, and he
is after a job in the league. He would
make a valuable acquisition to the
Eastern League roster, and would at
least be an Improvement upon some OF

ton. Nal Eason, the former Brooklyn
and Newark pitcher, says that he is
tired of running a club, and he an
nounced his intention of seeking a
position on the umpire staff of the
National League.
Although Duffy is to manag the
White SoX, he will retain his interest
in the Providence Club. The rumor
that the New York Club of the Amer
lean League was going to buy the Buff
falo franchise was denied by the Sec
rotary of Frank Farrell, but his pres
ence makes 1t look as though there
may be some truth in the story.

he won the title by knocking out Emory
Payne in Mechanics building, Boston.
He was then attached to the U. S. S.
Jersey. Schlossberg conceded thirty

the title a long period, to the canvass

cording to the rules, this only ended the
round. Phil went right after his mali
