RIVALS WILL
CLASH AGAIN
TottenviIh A. C. Plays HUI
quenot Nine on Saturday.

At last the inevitable is about to
happen, the Tottenyille A. c. and the
Huguenot A. c. will again meet. The
game will take place Saturday on
the T. A. c. oval and a record crowd
is expected. Intense rivalry exists
between these teams and they will go
out to show which Is the champion
of the island. The Huguenot A. c.
has advertised itself as the cham
pions Of that section of the big city
and the Tottenville nine will make a
desperate attempt to change their
opinions. This will be a hard matter
but the nine from this end of the is
land think that they are capable of
turning the trick.
Both teams are claiming the cham
pionship of the Fifth Ward and there
is every reason to believe that the
contest will be one of the closest
seen in years. Turley and Kessler
will be in the points for the Hugue-
not aggregation and McGrath or
Began will pitch for the team from
the lower end of the island. Robedee
will receive.

SOUTH RIVER
BOOKS CAME
Will Play Gator A. C. of
Trenton on Sunday.
Special TO The FvENTNG NEWS.

South River, Sept. S:-There will
be something doing all the time Sun
day afternoon. when the Gator A.
c., Of Trenton, put in an appearance
here for a two hours stay with "our
boys" The lads sporting the South
River A. G. uniform are in eagerness
to attach another victory to their al
ready long string, and, with favora-
BILE weather, will undoubtedly play
before a large and enthusiastic
crowd.
Manager Johnson the fans
that the visiting nine is first class in
every department, although it has
never appeared here before to give
an exhibition of the national game.
South River has an excellent respect
for Trenton teams since the catastro-
phe of last Sunday when the Column
bia A. G. tucked away an easy vic
tory.
Many we're disappointed here
when 1t became known the game
with the Danish Sociable Athletic
Club, Of Perth Amboy, had been call
ed off. Manager Johnson states that
this action was taken owing to the
request of the owner Of the field,
Joseph Miller, to cancel the game
rather than have a disturbance, or
let the visitors place a $50 forfeit in
the hands of a competent person that
the full nine innings would be play
ed. This the Danes refused to do
and the game was called off.

LEAGUE LIKELY
IN BASKETBALL
Time Now for Managers TO
Discuss Matter.

It is almost time the managers
Of the various basketball teams got
together for the purpose Of forming
a basketball league. There are
enough teams in this city to have
both a Junior and a senior league.
This would allow the team in each
class to match against each other,
The result would be that some Of
the fastest games ever seen on a
floor in this city would be wit
messed this winter.
Basketball is the coming winter
sport and the fans are becoming
more and more educated to It ev-
cry year. The sport is yet in its
infancy in this city, although 1t has
been played for several years. The
real dope on the game is yet to be
learned by the players and fans. 1t
may look as If the players in this
city knew all there Is to know about
the game, but such is not the case.
II one team could raise enough
money to secure the services of a
professional coach, that quintette
would far exceed the others of
their weight.
Manager Lewis Bradford of the
Roosevelt A. c. has had considera-
BILE experience in this line. He has
played with and managed the State
Normal School team, when that
team was at its best. That team
had the opportunity of securing good
coaching and Bradford took most of
1t in.
He has not stated whether he will
put a team on the floor or not. but
should he get the players together
they are sure to be fast.

Henry POIkOwitz's Picard
Entered at Woodbridge.

Believing that his horse, Ricard,
will do better In trotting than pacing,
as was formerly the case, Henry Pol
kowitz, who is placing the speedy an
imal In every meet around here, has
changed his stride from a PAGER TO a

As a PAGER Ricard ran in the ZIG
class, and has won many a ribbon
prize for his owner, coping many a
prize at the several meets of the
Woodbridge Driving Association,
winning the race held at Morgan
some time ago against one Of the
best horses in the county.
Ricard also made good at the
Westfeld track meet on Labor Day,
getting third place and winning q
purse Of about SIS. If the horse does
all that his owner expects of him,
running to the trot, some good races
will no doubt be witnessed before the

DANES GOING
ACROSS RIVER
South Amboy Fans Will Have
Good Attraction.

South Amboy fans will have a first
class attraction tomorrow IN the form
of the D. s. A. c., Of this city. With
Parsons on the slab the Danish men
expect to poll a large number of
runs. Sport Kelly promises to put
a stop to the funny business by hay
ing a good fast nine on hand. He
will be in the game himself and will
do all IN his power to make the af-
fair a success from every standpoint.
Great things are expected of the
Danes by the rooters from this city
and should they lose this match it
will go hard with them. Nothing
more has been heard about the Sun
day game. They were just too late
to get the game with the Roosevelt
A. G. Both mines wanted to get the
session but the message of the men
from this city came just after the
other game had been arranged. THAI
was a bit Of hard luck for both side:
since they were both anxious to gel
together. 1t is likely that they will
try to get another date later in tht

ago the Old Roman asked him what
was wrong with the stan.
Callahan tried to get away without ex-
pressing his opinion. but Commy nailed
him down. Cal told him the only thing
the matter with the pitchers was lack
OF control.
Put a home plate or two handy so
the boys can practice shooting the ball

EIGHTH RACE
is TOMORROW
Raritan Yacht Club Series
May be Exciting.

Starting tomorrow afternoon at
three o'clock the eighth race in
the Raritan Yacht Club series will
be run of, and from all indications,
1t promises to be some exciting
time. Last week a great surprise
was sprung when the ElHda, owned
and sailed by the Compton brothers,
took first place, II being the closest
race Of the season, several boats not
being o than 20 seconds apart
at the finish.
In number Of points the Tempest
still leads the list, although it
came in next to the last in Satur-
days race. Compton's yacht also
got second prize over at the Key
port regatta on Labor Day, and the
boys expect to make good time
with It, if the wind is blowing any
way strong. The Bole and the FL
Ida are the two boats in this bay
which sail best, when there is a
strong wind blowing, and they have
it on the Tempest, in that respect,
in as much as the Railway boat is
equipped with q hollow mast, and
can not stand up against the wind
like the two local boats.
Estella, the ANAL cat of J. K.
Bryan, is also showing UP good in
the racing circles, coping second
place in Saturdays race. The Es-
tella carries the smallest amount Of
sail of any Of the entries, but is a
good sailor, and IN the hands Of Nels
