| Greater New York and Joseph NJ. Belford,

Mr. Mclean made the principal address
and. like all the other speakers of the day,
| discussed the magnitude of the new trans
| portation facilities and rendered high trib-
ute to the men who We're responsible for
! the achievement. He censured the usual
| lack of facility shown in such great works
when left in the hands of public officials,
! and contraSted with that the Quickness with
which this project had been carried through
by private enterprise. In this connection
he said:
AT time when the public mind is large
ly occupied with socialistic propositions it
is surely worthy of more than passing no.
tice that the advantages attendant on pri-
vate enterprise have been impressively il
Illustrated. We are not here tonight to
consider any OF the questions which belong
properly 10 the political sphere, but it can
not be wholly amisS to make note of the
fact that the Pennsylvania Railroad Com
pany has done a piece of work in some six
years which would in all probability have
taken a quarter of a century had the agen-
cies involved been subject to the fiuctua-
tions of official life
There were many complaints heard yes
terday at the new Pennsylvania terminal
IN regard 10 the Inadequate transit facilities
in this city for reaching the station. Some
passengers said that they had experienced
difficulty in finding the big new terminal
Others said that they had missed trains
because they had relied solely on the sur
face lines as the only means to reach the
station direct Samuel Rea- vice-president
OF the PENNSYLVANIA Railroad. issued q
statement in regard to the opening of the
tunnels in which he deplored the lack of
subway connections with the new station.
He said in that respect:
"One important thing, however. remains
undone. and that is While the company has
constructed the facilities for subway con-
nections. the city has not yet provided
those necessary rapid transit facilities to
! accommodate its own citizens and the pub
lie arriving and departing from the new
station. Il is matter OF deep regret that
the city's subway system. with proper con-
to perform this necessary function Coupled.
however, with this regret is the expectation
that the Mayor Of the city and the Public
Service Commission will promptly have
some progress made in this regard
The Pennsylvania officials said last night
that 1880 passengers We're carried on the
Long Island trains UP 10 > o'clock yester-
day afternoon II was estimated that dur
ing the first twenty-fOur hours of tunnel
service about thirty-five thousand persons
would pass through the tunnels under the

been operated, including those in both di-
rections on the Long Island branch.

that the time for the journey will
be much quicker than last. when

SOME GOOD BALL.

Ball games are won and lost In
many peculiar ways. declares Billy
Evans, the American league umpire.
Often pitcher goes into a game
with everything at his command AM
10 batted all over the field. A few
days later the same pitcher may be
selected TO work and in the language
Of the diamond have nothing" yet
he scores an easy victory.
perhaps no person Is better able
to Judge Z Rtcher's work than the
catcher and umpire" says Evans. II
have often marveled at the way some
pitcher would get away with shut
out game, with a very limited assort-
msnt Of curves and speed, and have
been equally astonished at the way
the opposing pitcher. who appeared
to have everything. would be hit.
Through little breaks in luck each
team acquired run early In the
game. when Washington went to
bat for the last half of the eighth
inning Joss was going no good 1t
seemed as II the contest would sure
ly 60 into extra innings.
"The first man up hit a little fly
to center field that under ordinary
conditions would have been the east
est kind Of a chance for Elmer
Flick, who was playing the position.
1t was the FIRST game of double,
header and the sun was directly in
the center fielder's eyes. Elmer lost
the pop fly entirely. and the batter
made two bases. The next man sac
rificed, while the following one sent
a long ny to the outfield, on which
the runner scored. Cleveland failed
to score In the ninth and the game
was over. y
According to the cleSsr pitcher
OF the Browns. he can't recall ever
having beaten the Tigers. although
he refuses to admit that he never
turned the trick. For seven innings
last summer 1t really looked as II
he might do the seemingly impossi-
BILE. But that's neither here nor
there, SO here is the story:
"On the morning OF Labor day, last
summer. Petty was selected to work
against Summers. In the second Inn
Ing the Browns, by a wonderful exhi-
bitiQn Of smuggling, piled up seven
runs, and in the next inning added
another. With an eight-run lead II
looked as II Petty might break into

troit.

no MlIoR-lytlE RACE on
lALHML MARATHON DAI
Riders Decide to Drop Idea-Two
Bicycle Races Will Be Run
Instead.

At the meeting OF motor-cyclists
which was held last night at C.. f.
Chillinsworth's ONCE, 1t was decided
to drop the motorcycle race idea
for Marathon day and to have two
ordinary bicycle races instead.
This decision was come to on ac-
count OF the difference in the h. p.
OF the machines entered, and also
because OF the short distance to be
covered. II was thought that It
would be better to arrange some
races later on and that a real en-
durance event would be attractive.
Some. fifteen motor-cyclists attend.
ed the meeting and keen Interest
was shown In the matter. Leilehus
was Represented by q couple Of en-
thusiastic motor.eyciists. and tn.
whole matter was threshed out q,
length.
Two bicycle races for men OF diff.
ferent ages will be pulled on, and
one will be for boys under eighteen
years Of age. and the other for
youths Of over that age. From
eighteen to eighty il the prescribed
age. and a strict line will be drawn
at the latter limit.
