PLAY RED BANK
Game for Sunday With West
PIainfisId Cancelled.

At the last moment the F%ranklins,
who were to play the fast West
Plainfelds Sunday, cancelled the
game. Manager Applegate, of the
Franklins, did so because he had
secured a game with the Red Bank
team which has made such a reputa-
ton for itself In this vicinity recent
ly. The boys from down the line
have a classy bunch of players and a
good battery. They expect to give
the local team a good time for their
money and they are already claiming
the game.
The Franklins will show up in
their usual form and with Apologize
OF the slab ought to hold down the
honors for the locals. There Is no
doubt but that the Red Bank team is
there with the goods but they will be
up against a hard proposition when
they meet the Franklins, Sunday af-
ternoon, at Red Bank.
The Franklins will have the same
lineup as last week, with Apologize
in the box. The lineup of the Red
Bank team has not yet been an
nounced. When two fast teams like
these get together a warm session is
looked for and a large crowd of fans
will probably see the game. q

POLICE HAVE
IST PRACTICE
Gsttins Ready for Game
With County Seat.

Real baseball practice was started
yesterday afternoon by the local po-
licemen to fit them for the coming
encounter with the New Brunswick
bluecoats. A team Of cops on which
were three of the eligible ones for
the game and half a dozen pros
pective candidates, suffered defeat
at the hands Of the Empire A. c., a
nine assembled for the occasion, on
the copper works field. AS the
scorekeeper was pit GU tof business
in the early part of the game, the ex-
act score is not known. The major
ity say it was 6 to 1, while the cops
say 6 to 5.
The eligible cops on yesterdays
team were Hartmann, Hartung and
Calvin. The others worked hard and
made vain e~ndeavors for a showing.
Love affairs and the like are said to
make their cases hopeless ones.
According to the latest arrange
ments the game will be played July
20 on the Amusement Park grounds.

PERTH AMBOYS
OUT FOR BLOOD

One of the star attractions for to-
morrow will be the Perth Amboy A
c. against the Independents of New
York. The Perth Amboys have been
giving local fans good games of ball
and tomorrow expect to present one
of the best exhibitions seen in this
city in some time. Ellie, Parsons or
Bath will do the twirling for the To-
calls. All three pitchers have made
a reputation In the last few seasons
and will put some classy ball over
the pan tomorrow afternoon.
The New York team has some
good players and an enviable record.
They have been travelling in com
pany with fast mines in and arond
New York and know how the game
ought to be played. From their
past record they seem to know how
1t is played, too, and tomorrow's
meet should be n of the best this
season.
The two teams have met before
but the game had to be called in the
fifth inning because the New York
lads had to catch a train. Tomor-
row ample provision will be made
for the game and a complete session
will be held.

New London. Conn.,, June 30.-Th,
sporting element has reached the city
fresh from Poughkeepsie, and Thames
quotations are announced with 10 to o
on Harvard fer the varsity race, 5 to 4
on Yale for the freshmen and even
money in the tours. Harvard men
complain of the apparent absence OF

lege colors either on the hat band. the

any one of the races before half q
mile had been rowed he will recall the
crews to the starting point.

Fish Tales

Ben Robinson, Jr., and George
Robinson, of Mulberry street, New
ark, in the winter, and Morgan's
Heights in the summer, are doing
some great work with the rod and
line. Their catch Wednesday was
thirteen weak fish and a number of
blue fish. Henry G%ottsleben fshed
near them and caught twenty-six
weak fish with a long pole and daub-
err.
George Hahn and Joseph Du Bots,
of Peshine avenue Newark, fished at
Morgan Station Wednesday and
caught t~wenty-one weak fish and
blue fish. They could have done
much better If they had fshed more
and paid less attention to swimming,
but they enjoyed both and returned
home well satisfied.
Here's a hot one. Two Jamaica
Bay party boats, finding the fishing
rather poor outside Tuesday, come
into Raritan Bay and anchored on
the weak fish grounds off Keyport.
In the party on the Agnes w. was
John Schmidt, of Pacific street, and
he told the captain about the fish
ing reports and persuaded him to
run in. Schmidt and another pas
senger rowed ashore and bought
shrimp and shedder crabs and divi-
ded the bait on the boat. The party
consisting of twelve men, removed
their lead from the heavy bank lines
and caught sixty-two weak fish and
eighteen blue fish. The other boat,
a companion to the Agnes w, an
chored further down the bay, where
the men on board caught porg1es and
fuke. The men on the Agnes w.
were so pleased with Schmidt's guild
ing them to the fishing banks that
they insisted on his taking the largest
of the fish as his pick.
The government inspectors will
pay particular attention to the fire
lighting apparatus carried on all
motorboats, because it is through
gasoline explosions that most OF the
fatalities occur. The writer has
found a fire extinguisher Endorsed by
the government as thoroughly eff
cient, solid brass, which will not
corrode and which is guaranteed in
definitely. 1t throws a stream forty
feet, forced by compressed air, and
has many other features that will
recommend it to the motorboat
owner. The price is reasonable and
it will outlast a dozen of the tin
kind. A letter to the writer will re-
ceive full information regarding the
extinguisher.
Don't miss an opportunity to have
a crack at the weak fish while they
are SO plentiful. Go down to Ack-
ers, at Sewaren, and row out to the
red buoy, where the fishing is fine.
They are being caught on drop lines
and, as Jim Murtha said last night,
1t isn't safe to battle your feet down
there as the weakish are apt to
nip a toe off.
1t will be high water at Sandy
Hook Sunday at noon. This applies
to Keyport. Morgan, this city, Sc
warren and TottenyiIle. The best
fishing this week was on the first of
the ebb tide, but with high water
at noon. the flood and ebb can be
fshed.

CHURCH MINES
WILL CONTEST
netuchsn Plays Woodbridge
on Formers Diamond.

Tomorrow afternoon at 4 o'clock
the Metuchen Presbyterian baseball
nine will cross bats with the Presby-
terrain team from Woodbridge. The
game will be played on the Presby-
terrain field al Metuehen and the Me-
tuchen boys are making great prepa-
ration for it. They have been busy
all the week getting their field in
first class condition.
The diamond is just east Of the
church and connecting with it is a
nice shady lawn. All residents of
the brainy- borough and friend-ai
the players are being urged to be
present and root" for the home
team. It is understood that the
Woodbridge boys will bring a
bunch of people with them to
shct for their men. No admission
will be charged.
President Campbell, of the Metuch-
en- Brotherhood, proposes to have a
series Of athletic events on the home
field during the season. He also in
tends holding their annual clambake
in the grove some time the latter
part of September, the exact date to
be announced in the near future.
The Metuchen boys lineup for the
ball game as far as could be learned
is as follows: Spencer, pitcher; Lid
die. catcher; Lamparter, first base;
Bohlke, second base; Martin, third
base; Pfeiffer, shortstop; Tappen,
right field; Moffat, ~centrefield; Camp
bell, left field.

GOODWILLS IN
LINE FOR GAME

The Franklins have shown them
selves capable of putting up a classy
scrap on the ball field and many
teams want to get games with them.
The latest nine that has announced
its intention of trying to arrange a
match with the Franklins is the rep
resentative team from the Goodwill
Association. The Goodwills have had
a bunch in the field for some time
and have been very successful in
their encounters with other aggrega-
lions.
Whether they are in the Franklins
class or not can only be determined
by the meeting of the two organiza-
lions. Manager Apologize, Of the
Franklins, has not yet announced
on which these players could get to-
gether, or not. But should they meet
a good game is assured.
The Goodwills have a good bunch
to pick a nine from and 1t is likely
that they would give the Franklins
a run for their money if they were
given a chance. The FTanklins are
confident of their men and with
Apologize in the box expect to clean
up everything in sight.
Just who would be on the slab for
the Goodwills is not yet known but
it is understood that they have a sur-
prise in store for the followers of
the Franklins. If this is the cas an
interesting game will be played if
these two punches get together.

WANT TO BOOK
GAME JULY 4?

The Morgan A. c. have cancelled
their game with the Saints. The
two teams were to have met on the
Fourth and the star attraction of the
season was expected. The Morgans,
it seems, have made arrangements to
hold a picnic and this would inter
fere with the game.
This leaves the Saints without a
game for the Fourth. They would
like to get in touch with a fast team
of their own class in hope of arrang-
ing for a game that day. The Saints
have no game for Sunday and expect
to take a day off, but they want to
play on the Fourth. They want to
arrange matches with only first-class
aggregations. Manager Maloney is
ready to make arrangements with
the right team. Any nine desiring a
game will communicate with Man
ager Maloney.

IS
EASY WINNER

New York, June 30.-Sam Langford
won an easy victory over Jack Fitz-
gerald of Philadelphia in the fifth
round of a bout scheduled to go ten
rounds at the National Sporting Club
of America. While the fight lasted
Langford had 1t all his own way and
in most every round foored the Phiia-
delphian with some hard punches to
the stomach and jaw.
Fitzgerald vas very awkward and
fought as If he knew very little about
the art of boxing. Langford, on the
other hand, was the same old Sam.
Before the fight was hardly under way
he made Fitz retreat with his heavy
blows. AS the fourth round was
reached Fftz was nearly all in, and
the crowd, which had been edging to
the door, hooted and Kissed him fer
the poor showing he made.

fast Hudson Lyceums, of New York.

Dun's Report

New York, June 9.--R. G. Dun & Co.'S weekly review of trade tomorrow will say:
 Such change as has taken place in business is for the better. Advance in confidence is slow and the growth In activity even slower, but both are ad- vancing and growing. Reports from different sections and trades display much irregularity, at cities close to the great agricultural regions there are signs of encouraging effects of the ex cellent crop prospects
 The improvement in demand follow ing the recent cut in steel prices is not general. The activity in bars is in re- sponse to large buying by agricultural implement makers and rail orders are coming In more freely. New business in rails include two purchases of about 25,000 tons each and important in- quiries are in the market, notably that of the Hartman system for 10000 tons In pig iron it is estimated that produc- ton is now close to if not under con sumptive requirements. Several addi tional furnaces were blown out last month. Current demand reflects scant improvement, as the existing weakness in prices encouraged buyers to hope for further concessions. One eastern steel company has placed an order for about 25,O00 tons of basic iron for third
 
 opment of considerable interest was the advance in pig tin at London to the highest level on record.
 Without sign of price weakness the cotton gods markets are quieter with 1obbers still disinclined to anticipate in any active way. The converting and manufacturing trades have covered some part of their future requirements, but curtalment of the output Is increas- ing, the feeling at the mills being that the worst has been seen and that when demand revives 1t will quickly become ac- tive. In woolens and worsteds the at tention of the trade is focused on the tariff discussion at Washington and trade is very slow. At eastern centers leading factors are buying with greater freedom, shipments of wool showing a sharp in crease, and at the west competition for the new clip continues keen. More worsted yarns are being ordered and cot ton yarns hold firm, but are quiet.
 The movement in footwear is fair, but not up to expectations. The leather mar kets are stronger, tanners insisting upon an additional one cent increase in sole. Chrome side upper stock and calf-slSins are selling well. The domestic hide mar l<ets continue to advance, the large sole leather producer continuing to take furth- CT good sized lines of packer lines from the far east and the far west.

ADJOURN PROBE
 OF COAL TRUST"

Pittsburg, June 9.-After examining six well known coal officials, the May grand jury reassembled in special ses- sion to determine whether theie has been an attempt to create a monopoly in the colxing industry, adjourned late today until Monday The probe started here yesterday when officers of the Pittsburg Coal company and the Monon- gahela River Consolidated Coal and Coke company were summoned in con nection with the transfer of coal and colking properties, valued at s17.S00,o0O, to the H. c. Prick Coke company, a subsidiary of the United States Steel corporation.
 No information was forthcoming as to the nature of the testimony today or whether there was any ground for the governments fear that the coke in dustry was being monopolized. Wit nesses outside of the coal business are expected to be called.
