MANUFACTURING
CONCERNS FAILING
into HEAD-PN LINE
Simms Magnetic Company OF
Watsessing Enters 10 Teams
in STAR Tourney.
BY BERT DODGE.

Manufacturing concerns throughout
this section are falling into line for the
STAR head-pin tournament, which
opens on the ~Iroquois alleys Monday
night, October Is. Their employees
who are interested in bowling, are
anxious to have a try in the big com
petition, which will soon inaugurate its
fourth season.
The employees of the Simms Magnetic
Company, of Watsessing, are to have a
special night set aside, he entry of ten
teams having been made yesterday with
Billy Huttenbach, at the Iroquois al
leys. The entry was made by Profess
sor Richards, a dancing instructor. 1t
is likely that more than the ten teams
named will be on and, but the fifty
pin-knights in one combination are suf-
ficient to get a special night.
A has Deer already stated, the
STAR proposes this season to furnish
a w%atch-fob of new design to those
bowlers who shall succeed in obtaining
scores of 100 or better out of a possible
100. Plans are now being completed,
which, il is believed, will result in the
trophies being or hand opening night.
This will make it possible to give each
~pin-knight who captures a trophy one
of the souvenirs just as soon as he
earns it. Thereafter the fobs will be
handed out as fast as won. h design
/. a particularly neat one anu it is GER
tain that all the bowlers will be pleased
with them.
For the benft of any who may not be
familiar with the rules governing the
STAR head-pin tournament and who
may desire to enter, it may be well to
| say tina the tournament is free to all
hve-man teams. with no charge for
bowling and no charge for entering the
tournament. Everybody is eligible.
Because so many desire to bowl, how
ever, 1t has been found necessary to
insist that no bowler should perform
more thai once during a season in this
tournament.
with more than 5000 bowlers to take
care of, 1t is easy to see that the
schedule committee cannot provide for

Tommy Murphy, the Poughkeepsie
reinsman, has won about $50, 900 in
purses behind harness horses this sum-
mel and has so far distanced such
sulky stars as Pop Geers, Lon Nc
Donald, Walter Cox and others thai
there is no comparison.
Harness racing Is undergoing a
process of evolution" declares Tommy.
Time was when stories of racing
on the grand circuit were chiefly about
the immense sums wagered by certain
followers of the game.
THE day of the plunger is past, even
though the anti-gambling laws are not
enforced in many sections and betting
is legalized in a few.
THE majority of the people now go
to the races to enjoy the spectacle.
rather than to wager on the result and
this is a sure sign the sport is being
raised to a higher plane.

ARCHBISHOP OF
CANTERBURY IS
AGAINST BIG FIGHT

LONDON. Sept. 2o.-The feel
ing against the Johnson-W Wells
contest has gathered such force
that 1t probably will be aban-
doned, or stopped by the govern
ment. The Archbishop of Can
terbury has written to the Home
Office urging that action be taken
to suppress the contest, and this
has served as a focus for adverse
opinion. Nine bishops and many
leading religious men. the Lord
Mayors of Manchester. Liver
pool and other big cities, and
leading sportsmen like Lord
Lonsdale. Lord Kinnaird and
Lord Harris have Joined in con-
demning the match, while the
Telegraph, the Chronicle and
other influential papers have fol-
lowed the Times in urging the
government not to permit the
contest.
The Rev. F. B. Meyer, who was
n of the original opponents of
the match, has offered to raise
a public fund to reimburse the
promoters in the amount of their
loss II they will undertake to
abandon the contest.

On Local Gridirons .

The Iroquoise Field Club of Roseville
will be represented on the gridiron
this fall by one of the strongest teams
in its history. AT a meeting held at
Frank Drivers house recently Mark
Anton was elected captain of the team
and Joseph Van Valen manager. and
Jack Galloway, assistant. The Iroquois
will be greatly strengthened by obtain
ing the services of George Yule, who
was unable to play last year on ac-
count of illness, and also by Harold
Kyle. a former player of Bloomfield
High School.
Both these men will in all proba-
bility play in the back field, who with
Huson and Zneimer should make one
of the fastest back fields of its weight
in the city.
The first practise will be held Satur-
day, and about twenty men are ex-
pected to try for places on the team.
The Iroquois will greatly miss the
services of Dutch Fromkee, who was
one of the best guards that the Iro-
quois ever had, and also Samuel
Walker, who played halfback last
year, but will be unable to play this
year on account of business.
Captain Anton is trying hard to OBJ
tain the services of a good coach and
expects to LAND one before the season
is under way. Those who have already
signifed their intention of trying for
the team are as follows: Anton cap
tain), Driver. Huson, Yule, Galloway.
Segrell, Zneimer, Robinson, Van Duzer,
Ewing Lauther, Kyle, Stauffer, Mol
ten. Burt, Smith, Burke, Bateman,
Lane, Leonard, Vail, Pollard, Van
Nalen and Lindsey.
Managers Van Valen and Galloway
| are DESTROYS of booking games with
such teams as the Oxfords, Comanches,
Sioux, Ranblers and teams of like
strength. All challenges should be ad-
dressed to Joseph Van Valen or Jack
Galloway, f16 South Eleventh street,
Newark, n. j.
The Union football team, of Lynd-
hurst, will be seen on the gridiron for
the fifth season his year. The team
will be represented by the same play
ers who have, won the championship of
Bergen county since 1906. This season
they expect to be their banner year
Mcintyre, the giant fullback, will be at
his old position. He is the mainstay
of the team. and it has been through
his line %plunging that he Unions have
always come out on top. The Unions
would like to hear from the Orange A.
c.. Liberty, of Elizabeth, and teams of
like strength. The lineup of the team
is as follows: Landells and Wieder-
man. ends; Loerbs and Gunther,
tackles; Wheaton, centre; CARROTS and
Connolly, guards; Johnes, quarterback;
J. Holden. G. Holden and Lewis, half
backs; Mcintyre, fullback. Send chal-

temporarily Injuries the sport in a way,
for many stables refuse to enter these
meetings; as a consequence the entry
suffers, and this, combined with the
loss of revenu from the sale of specu-
lative privilege, makes the meeting a
financial loser.
Il believe the time is coming when
pool-selling and book-making will be
unknown on harness tracks. The
change will no doubt temporarily in
jure the sport, but it has recovered
from hard knocks in the past, and in
the end will be placed on a more firm
basis and will be cleaner than it has
been heretofore.
Harness racing is different from the
thoroughbred game, which rested upon
the gambling element; wherever that
element was eliminated the sport went
down like a house of cards; with the
harness horses the speculative end is
incidental, not over one in ten of the
occupants of the grand stand giving it
a thought"

No scrimmage was held at Princeton
during the football practise yesterday,
but a long and hard signal drill kept
the candidates busy in the afternoon.
Special emphasis was laid or making
holes in the line for the backs and
MacGregor and Roper both devoted a
lot of time to the linemen.
The forward pass received more at
tention than usual and several new
formations were tried, with Pendleton
and Baker carrying the ball.
To Norman H. Reed, of Boston. CEN
tire of the Yale varsity football team,
goes the distinction of being the first
person injured in Yale football this
year. He was at the field in his street
clothes. yesterday afternoon and his
arm IL a sling. He is suffering from a
badly sprained ligament in his arm
and shoulder. and cannot practise until
after the Wesleyan game next Wednes-
day.
The first real line-up of the year
came yesterday with signal drill for
four elevens. Before now the men
have lined up to learn the positions,
but yesterday they were out for real
signal drill. The first team was run
by Captain Howe.
Yesterdays sessions on Soldiers field
were eventful inasmuch as Percy L.
Wendell, the all-American halfback,
returned to the Crimson fold. Wendell
will be remembered as the stockily
built youth who tore the Yale line to
shreds last fall and thereby brought
himself within the range of the eagle
eyed Walter Camp.
Paul Wilmington gave the centres
much of his attention yesterday after
noon, while Charley Ham and Captain
Fisher kept an eye on the remaining
line candidates. FELTON,, the Harvard
best centre, spent most of his time
kicking to the field, the ends being
sent down under the spirals.
Pennsylvania's football candidates
had their first practise yesterday after
noon under the direction of Coaches
Smith and CASTOR. The men were
thoroughly drilled in all the rudiments
of the art SO essential to a gridiron
warrior and at the conclusion the
coaches were well pleased with the
showing of the green men as well as
the veterans.
Three new candidates reported for
the team, which now brings the squad
up to nearly two score. They were
Immediately fitted up in football toys

field. Keough, the substitute quarter
back on the 1910 eleven, was one of the
new men, while the other two were
Kelleher, a linesman on last years

back. With the addition of Keough to
the squad there remains only two more
veterans to make an appearance. They
are Morris and Wolferth, who held
down line positions last year. Both
have been heard from and are ex-
pected to report by the end of the
