MataWan, Dec. S:-The most sue
cessful football Season in years has
Just closed, leaving the Matawan
nigh school unsecured upon. Not
even q first down was made against
the local gridiron warriors. The
experts who pick the All Am3nicaD
teams, and failed to see this tesfT In
action, don't know what they missed.
Ihefr line vas like a stone wall.
and the terrific line plungers of
keyport and South Amboy were
hurried back for loss every time they
hit 1t. Not ven a flying wedge
could penetrate 1t, and as a runner
attempting an end run would be like
a needle in the field of a powerful
magnet, long gains were impossible.
The backs were like cannon balls
when they got hold of the ball they
were like combinations of Pendleton
and Wendell, and at times surpassed
both OF these. Duncan reigned an
fullback and out-kicked the oppo-
nents in every game. The halfbacks,
Burlew and Bergen, both played en-
ceptional games. Burley never maxi
ing less than a thirty-yard gain.
When everything else failed he
could be sent ripping up the defence
like a bulldog running at full speed
through a flock of chickens. The
ends, Roberts and VanBrunt, were
and strong and could always be
depended upon. The tackles, Bolte
and Devlin, could not be beaten:
they broke the opponents line every
time desired. The guards, Erwin
and Walling, were strong and Will
ing, never known to let a man
within their reach. Kattner
at quarterback, and as Red
dington was king of centre, beyond
doubt this made a very considerable
team.

OLD BAIL PLAYER as UMPIRE.

President Murphy, Of the Chicago
Cubs, says that four old ball players
OF renown have applied to the Ma
tlonal League for positions on the
umpire staff. They are Jack Doyle,
once the Giants first baseman:
Heinie Peitz, who used to catch for
Cincinnati; Carl Lundgren, the Cubs
former pitcher, and the veteran Kid
Gleason, who played second base for
phia. If a knowledge of baseball
counts for anything in the necessary
qualities of umpires, thepe-men

BIG MONEY IS
PAID FOR THE
NEW PLAYERS


by the club owners of the two major
baseball leagues for young players for
next year. The sixteen clubs in the
two leagues have paid out 1887, 900 for
youngsters that are to be given a
chance to show whether they are fast
enough for the big leagues next year.
The American league owners have
spent $53, 100 more than the National
league. the American leaguers paying
out $225,050, while the National
leaguers paid $161, $50 for the new men
they will uncover.
The club in the American league
which paid out the most money for
new men Is Cleveland. That club
heads the list of expenditures for pur-
chased and drafted players with n
grand total of $44,850, and next on the
list the Chicago club, with g.
sum total Of $4,000.
In the National league the most
money was spent by the Cincinnati
club, $38.500 being paid out of the
Reds e~xchequer for men to help Man
ager Griffith and his team In next
years race. The Plrtsburg club was
second on the list of the National
Ieaguers, for Barney Dreyfuss signed
away $32,650 for new players to help
Fred Clarke capture the 1911 pennant.
In the National league the club that
paid out the least money for new play
ers was Boston. Only $500 was spent
ny that club for new men, and the
~niia"u'as club on the list was the
sum lotal Oh %, Fo~-uhich exDende5 a

men, only 1880 being paid out for
new Tigers. The next lowest or the
American league clubs was b Bos-
ton Red Sox, who paid out $4,000 for
promising material.
cornlsksy Has Likely Lot.
President Comiskey paid out $500
more money than the Cincinnati club.
which p6ld the Klost Of any OF the
National league clubs.
The Chicago National league club
spent s21, O60-for new men. Both Of
the Chicago clubs together have paid
out SGo.O5O for new players for next
year. OF this sum $4,000 was paid out
for players bought outright and $780,
10 for drafted players.
These figures have been given out
by the national commission aud are
correct.
The fact that the American league
paid out $50, 100 more than did the
| National league would indicate the
younger league got the choice men
from the minors, for a higher price
was paid for some of the men picked
up by the club owners Of the young
| league than for those picked up by
the National league.
The American league paid out $173,
| $50 for purchased players last sum
mer against $124,150 by the Nationa
league. For drafted players the Ma
| tional league paid out SAG, 100 and th'
| American league $37,800.
One hundred and seventy player
were purchased by the two big Leagues
during the summer, of which humble
the American league secured ninety
four and the National league got sew
enty-six.
One hundred and forty-seven player
were secured by draft from the minor
by the two big leagues, and the Amer
can~Ieague got seveAty-eight of tina
number while the National league ST
cured sixty-nine.
The American league partisans clair
now that the American league team
will show much greater strength tina
those OF the National league, becaus
the cream OF the youngster crop ha
been secured by the younger league.

many Newarkers.

mert worth double the admission price

tor and humorous reader; Miss Ruth
