While not an Eli could pilter a base on
him.
Coach Bill Clark, of the Tigers, thinks
Dutch" Sterrett n of the sensations
of the college season. The big fellow
weighs 1875 pounds and measures 6 feet.
Early in the season he was behind the
bat; then he Mas given a chance in
left field, where his spectacular catches
won great favor with the fans. Soon
after he played first base, and a week
later took turns in both centre and left
fields. In the last few games he has
been working behind the bat.
At bat Dutch was the terror to all
the college pitchers he faced, his hit
ting percentage being higher than that
of any of the Tigers who played regu-
larly. The new Tiger leader can ba-
both right and left-handed. Besides
this, he can either pitch or catch with
his left as we'll as his right hand, and
priors to his appearance in Tigertowl
was a good man in the pitchers box.

NJ G|NN|TY. WON'T
HAVE ANY MORE
TEAM CAPTAINS
Says They Do Not Obey Orders,
Anyhow, and What's the Use
OF Sporting a Useless Com
modity-Rain Puts an End to
First Tiger and Skeeter Con-
test-Double Bill Tomorrow.

A FTER considering the matter
carefully for some time. ever
since, in fact, he planned the deal
whereby George Smith was to come to
Newark, Joe McGinnity has decided
that he will not appoint another CAP
tain this season to fn Lew McAllistcr's
shoes.
The "Ii o n Man has methods of his
own In running a ball team and will
take n Whole burden and respons!-
bility on his own shoulders. What Is
the use of having a captain" says The
Iran Man, ''if they refuse to obey or
ders?" OF course. someone in the In
field will be appointed to yell the name
OF a player who should take a fly, II
two or three start after It.
Owing to the shower shortly before 4
o'clock yesterday afternoon, which
speedily converted West Side Park
into a quagmire. the Bengals and the
Shelters were die and will play a
donble-header tomorrow. There was a
good weekday crowd on hand, among
them about 500 Newarkers. The
double-header tomorrow will attract
many fans, who have the benefit of the
half-holiday both here and in Jersey
City.
Charley Smith. the Newark pitcher
who used to play with the Red Sox,
says that the Beantown team will
never win a pennant until they get one
irst-class pitcher who can win about
thirty games in a season. At present
the staff is only a fair combination.
Smith is one of the quietest fellows in
baseball and a gentleman through and
through. One of these days he will hit
his stride and will win many a game
for Newark. All of the games he has
pitched so far have been close, but the
Tigers have given him poor supper
III the run-getting end of the game
That contest he dropped at Baltimore
last Saturday was a heart-breaker, and
with any hitting at all he would have
won hands down.
Joe McGinrity is still holding to VIII
lis Shont2. Shontz was a good pitcher
last year for the Dallas Club aad
helped that team to win the Texas
League pti1tnt. but he was worked
so often that he strained his era.

ADMORELL STARTS
AT The BALTIMORE
SESSIONS TODAY
BY WALTER E. ERLER.
1-uE brown trottins gelding Ad

THE brown trotting gelding Ad-
morell. 2:15A. owned by Fred
Ballantine. the local enthusiast.
and in the combination of DUSTY"
Rhodes, will start in the 2:15 trot at
Baltimore today. He looks big and
strong, and will probably trot out the
favorite in the auction pools. The blac
t~rotting mare. Little Ella A., 2:l91.
owned by Ed Allen, is entered in tn
2.20 class, hut it is hardly probable that
she will score for the word.
Although the rain-maker interfered
for an hour during the rainy program
yesterday, the third days session was
productive of good horse racing, and
fifteen strenuous heats were required
to decide the fou events.
Put two horses. Red Bow and Star
Patch, responded to the call in the free
for-all pace. and after pacing a dea
heat the son of Joe Patchen won the
event in straight heats, but the bay
mare kept him busy all the way, all
though she gave II the impression
that she was not up to a gruelling con-
test.
The 2:16 pace was easy picking for
the brown gelding, Babe. by Atlantic
King, who annexed the race m straight
heats. Lady Bess, in the outfit OF re
man Tyson, made him step the hrst
two heats right at his record, but she
didn't last long enough, and the final
heat was won in ANA.

THE Twentieth Century A. c.. win
present two heavyweight fstic
contests, as an attraction for to-
night at the st. Nicholas Rink that
should furnish a rare nights sport and
bring out the full membership to a
man. The contest between Sailor
Burke and Jim Maher, the champion
of ireland, will determine whether the
%latter's prediction that he will defeat
the sturdy tar within the limit, is
to be verified. The bout between Ted
Nelson, the Australian middleweight
champion, who recently fought Burke
to a standstill, and Sailor" White, the
Jersey Cyclone, should also prove to
be one of the fastest and hardest hit
ting contests ever staged.

AND HILL To RIDE
BEHIND MOTORS
Trio Will Race for Five Miles in

This Race.

TLoYD MCFARLAND, Willie
Fem and Freddy Hill, in a five
mile motor-paced match race and
a two-mile national championship, are
the feature events on the program at
the Velodrome Sunday.
Six races are on the card. The other
events are a one-mile handicap pro-
fessional and a 1ve-mile open, one-mile
handicap and a half-mile novice for
the amateurs.
The two-mile national championship
Is to be run in one heat and limited
to twenty starters. There will be lap
money at IS a lap for ten laps.
The leading riders in the race for the
championship of 1911 have put up a
strenuous kick against running the
race in this way, but the chairman Of
the racing board of the National Cy-
cling Association has given the Velor
drome management permission to run
the race in this manner and 1t will be
conducted that way even If all the stars
refuse to ride.
Champion Kramer Is very much
peeved and stated Wednesday eve
ming. when the race was announced.
that he would not ride under the cor
ditions.
The champion wants the race run in
the usual way with heats, semi-fnals
and a final with four riders starting in
the final.
All two-mile championship races in
the past have been run this way, and
the champions kick is a legitimate
one.
| The big field and the lap prizes are
going to make this race a bear. 1t will
/ be a rough, wild ride all the way, and
| while Kramer would probably win the
race If he rode, he does not like races
of this kind.
Manager Chapman, of the Velodrome,
arranged this race to give the fans a
good race and a run for their money,
and stated just before leaving for New
Haven yesterday that even though
some of the stars were kicking they
would all line up for the start Sunday
| afternoon.
In the motor-paced match the riders
will ride sprint bicycles with 100 gear.
and the race should be close and in
teresting. Mcfarland performs well
behind the "chug-chugs," and Willie
Fem should be very good. Willie as
pired to become a paced star at one
time. and had a seasons experience
behind the motors.
Freddy Hill is the dark horse in the
race, but according to some of those
on the inside Freddy is the n best
bet.
/ The circuit meet at New Haven last
night was called off on account OF
rain. II the weather will permit the
races will be run tonight. No circuit
meets were scheduled at Providence or
Boston this week.

FIRST POLO GAME
PLAYED HERE WAS
A POOR Contest

THE polo season of the Essex Coun-
try Club at Hutton Park, West
Orange, was inaugurated yes
terday with a poor and uninteresting
game being played between the Essex
Country Club team and the Westches-
ter Country Club, of New York.
A small crowd turned out to witness
the contest owing to the threatening
weather.
The final score was 10 to l in favor
OF the home club. The Essex team dis
played fair team work and had better
ponies, while the New Workers played
like novices.
1t was in the event. period that the
New Workers scored their lone tally,
K. B. Schley, the speedy back, doing
the trick. 1t was a clean goal, being
one of the best plays executed during
the game.
J. Y. G. Walker. who captains the
Esesx Country Club, had the honor of
tailying the first point for his team,
making the goal in the>very first period.
He also Tailed the second goal in the
second period. In the same round
Herbert Barry also Tailed. Three goals
were chalked up in the third. when N.
N. Tilney sent two through. while Shell
don Tilney was able to score the other.
The former added one more to the
homo teams list in the fourth period,
while Barry scored one in each of the
next two rounds, With a beautiful at
tack right from the centre of the field
Sheldon Tilney made the final point for
his team.
Charles c.. Goodrich acted as referee,
while Douglas Robinson. brother-in-
law OF former President of the United
States Theodore Roosevelt, and one
time captain of the Essex team, of.
