The forthcoming report of the
state highway commissioner H. l..
Bowlby will virtually constitute a
text book on road building. 1t will
contain data relative to the cost of
construction of concrete, steel, wood
en-, stone and other bridges, and
will show the cost per mile of the
various classes of road construction.
It is said that this report will be of
immense use to county engineers,
and that it is really the most COM
prehensive work of the kind ever
compiled.

the. way the champ would have
things very easy here, while Clarke Is
battling with Iver Lawson In Salt

riding like a f1end and will make the

Willie Fem showed the best form he
has displayed this season in the races
Sunday. and Willie looks to rounding
into that old form that made him Kra-
mer's greatest rival at one time. With
Clarke away Fem will have a better
nance to show, and now hat Willie
has renewed confidence in his w abil-
fty and will ride from in front as he
did in the old days he should BIZ in the
money in nearly every race.
The one-hour paced race is calcu-
lated to furnish the big thrill of the
meet, and no doubt it viii come up to
expectations. With four riders with
their snorting gasoline ponies tearing
around the little saucer at breakneck
speed, this race gives promise of being
some spectacle.
This is the first race in which four
riders will appear behind the motors

Elmer Collins, the motor-paced ham
pion; Nat Butler, the veteran; Ray
Duer, another old-timer. and Percy

SPRING LAKE, Aug. with the

Spring Lake Tennis Club yesterday af-
ternoon began play on the Casino
courts in the North Jersey coast

bles. Twelve silver loving ups, in
Guiding the singles championship
trophy. are offered this year.
There was a big turnout of summer

AS Result of Long Race There
Will Be Many Sprint
Events.

A six-race card will be run at the
Ve1odrome tomorrow night, with a
one-hour motor paced race as the big
feature. The card is a well balanced
one, with the sprint races at the
shorter distances on account of the
time required in the running of the
big hour race.
The sprint races on the bill are a
one-mile open professional, two-mile
pro handicap. three-mile amateur open,
two-mile amateur handicap and a one
mile match ace between Jumbo
Wells land Jay Eaton. While Eaton
Is a star of bygone days, and Wells
is a rider who only has hopes of be-
coming a star some day, they are a
very evenly matched pair n will
furnish a good race. The race will be
for blood, too. Two weeks ago Wells
and Eaton got into an argument as to
who possessed the most speed, and to
settle the dispute they rode a match
race. Eaton won the first heat and
Jumbo took the second.
Then both riders refused to ride the
deciding heat and the match was
called off. John Chapman, the man
ager of the Velodrome, saw the race,
however, and he thought so well of 1t
that he decided to put 1t on the card
for Wednesday and hang up a purse
for the boys.
In the sprint races, Alfred Goullet
will make his reappearance, and If he
is in the form he had when he wal
loped Champion Kramer and Jackie
Clarke in match races two weeks ago,
the champion will find that in the abb
sence of Clarke he will nave another

JACK GLEASON DOES
NOT PURCHASE A
MINORITY INTEREST

Fl
NEW YORK, Aug. 1.-Following a
conference in this city between Jack
Gleason and w. Hepburn Russell. pres
ident of the Boston National baseball
club, Gleason declared last night that
other business affairs prevent him from
giving his entire attention to a baseball
club, and for this reason he had de-
cided not to purchase the minority in
terest.
He added that when he started ne
gotiations with Mr. Russell he thought
he would be able to take up duties inn
mediately. Later he found, he said,
hat his other business affairs needed
his attention, and since he regarded
baseball as too big a field of endeavor
to devote only a small part of his time
to, he decided not to make the pur-
chase. He said. however. that If Mr..
Russell is in the same frame of mind
later. a transfer might take place.

1t Is Believed, However, He May
Not Win His
Case.

CHICAGO, Aug. directors of the
National League were scheduled to
meet here today to hear an appeal filed
by Sherwood Magee, left fielder of the
Philadelphia Club, who was suspended
for the season and fined 5000 for as
| saulting Umpire William Finneran dur
ing a game at Philadelphia on July Il.
President Fogel, of the Philadelphia
Club, members of the team and Roger
Bresnahan, manager of the st. Louis
Club. which Philadelphia played on the
day of the assault, will appear before
the board.
Magee, 1t was said, would enter a
plea that he struck Finneran in self
defense.
Ty Cobb equalled Iris Speakers
record of eight p~utouts in one game
against the Athletics yesterday. What
will the peerless slugger do next?
=
That was a remarkable win for De-
troit over Connie Mack's team yester-
day. The Jennings bunch made four
runs In the tenth. And Moriarity was
the hero. He made a triple with the
bases full.
=
An attendance of $4,000 for three con-
secutive games looks like making
money. That's what the Athletics and
Detroit team drew in the last three
contests played at Philadelphia.
=
Jack Warhop doesn't look like a win
ming pitcher. That is-he didn't yes
terday, for the White Sox welloped him
for seventeen safeties for a total of
twenty-nine bases. The Yankee slab
man pitched the entire game.
Those Boston pitchers-that is. a
couple of them-sre going good these
days. Collins allowed the Browns two
hits in the first game of the double
header yesterday. He famed nine bat
tiers, too.
Walter Johnson is not only a speedy
pitcher, but a wicked sticker when he
hits. In the game against the Maps
yesterday he hit one at Pitcher James
that knocked the latter to the ground.
-
Eddie Grant. Of the Reds, Will prob
ably be out of the game for several
weeks, and maybe all season. In the
fourth inning of yesterdays game with

Well. it was RUDE Marquard again
yesterday. And It was his second vic
tory over the Cardinals in the present
series. He looks to be worth $11, 900
now. And as a result of his victory
the Giants are nov sporting second

On July 16. Jack johnson and Bonn
barber Billy Wells signed public
articles to fight for the heavyweight
title. Here you see johnson in the act.
Wells is at Johnson's left.
The men will fight late in September,
and probably in the open air. A record
crowd is expected at the contest. AL
ready a scandal has been brewed, the
story being that johnson will lose to
Wells. If he does. the gamblers will
clean up a fortune, for the odds are
five to one on the black panther. Wells
isn't conceded a chance ever by bred

MAGEE TO PLEAD SELF-DEFENSE AS
EXCUSE FOR STRIKING JUMPS FINNERAN

American League the Yanks will have
to take both ends OF the double bill
with the White Sox today.
The Pirates have now won twelve
straight games. That Windy City
team is now but one full game behind
the Giants for second place and Just
half a game from the Phillies for third
position.
That was a great pitchers battle be-
tween BOBBY Keefe. of the Reds, who
was a former Eastern Lacquer, and
Burke, of the Dodgers. The former had
the better of 1t, however. He allowed
but four hits.
Newark evening star and Newark advertiser. [volume] (Newark, N.J.) 1909-1916, 1911-08-01

is shown by the fact that Johnson's
theatrical contracts will keep him busy
well into September and that, aside
from sparri- with Monte Cutler, which
does not make him perspire, he isn't
exercising.
The articles signed in public call for
100000, the richest purse ever offered
in England, to De split 65 per cent. to
the winner n IS to the loser. So con-
fident is johnson, apparently. that he
did not stipulate 100000, win. lose or
draw.
Wells is two inches taller than John
son, weighs 1876, and can hit like a
mules kick, but he lacks the expert,
ence he should have to meet a mar of
Johnson's calibre, unless the stories
circulated are true.
