local diamond in the rear Of the
Methodist church. This game follows
closely upon the heels of the contest
last week, in which the Spotswood
boys were downed by the score of 6

High School boy, and Kid Mercer,

T. 4. G.. HAVE
HARD BATTLE
Will Tackle All Manhattans
Tomorrow Afternoon.

Considerable excitement is due to-
morrow at Tottenville when the ALL
Manhattans appear in the deciding
game of a series of three. The Man
hattans have been playing good
teams in and around New York and
they think they are now able to show
the Tottenville aggregation the
straight DAD TO 0eTeaC. Last sun
day they defeated the recently or
ganized Stapleton team, the score
being 8 to 2.
1t is likely that they will have
Jarvis, the G. c. N. Y, star on the
mound. He will do most of the
hard work unless something turns
up to prevent his appearance. The
team will be about the same as the
crowd that split vel with the Tot
tenyille.
T~ottenville expects to have Turley
in the stall. Turley is the pitcher
for many of the teams on the island
and was recently connected with the
Seminoles. The Tottenville nine
have a good find In him and they are
relying on him for some good head
work. The team lines up about as
usual and there is every indication
of a good game.

A. c. and the FrankIins VS.. Saints.
1t would hardly be possible to ar
range a bigger day from the sport
ing standpoint and already most of
the fans in this city are praying for
clear weather for the migration to
the arena Sunday.
The success of the League seems
assured and if the fans come out in
the manner in which they claim they
will there will be some c~rackerjack
games seer at Amusement Park
throughout the season.
The reports that some of the play
ers are out of the game for the pres
ent will not stop the series and
should these men be unable to go in
to the game there will be others
there to take their places.
Sunday is the day and 1880 is the
hour, so don't waste your time sit
ting behind a newspaper or enjoying
the cool breezes at the beach, when
there is a battle royal in progress
at the park stockade.

ACME A. C. TO
PLAY IROQUO|S
Will Clash Sunday at Copper
Works Diamond.

Another good bill is scheduled for
this Sunday when the Iroquois play
the Acme A. c. on the copper works
diamond. The Acme crowd has been
putting up a good fight in their re-
cent games and expect to give the
Iroquois a good tussle for the vic
tory. Five dollars looms up big to
both sides but only the winner will
take it. The Iroquois will have Earl
Mullen on the firing line with Schultz
to stop him. They will have a good
team behind them and they expect to
make a clean sweep on the game this
week.
The five beans shows that the
Acme aggregation expects to be in
the game. 1t is understood that
Samsoe will heave for them and with
his assistance they will try to cop
the game. The wno1e team Is re-
ported to have seen a vision in which
they say the game is coming to them.
Whether they are able to make the
dream come true remains to be seen
but it is assured that they will make
a mighty effort for it.

Those Giants are travelling fast.
Yes indeed. A double header yes
terday.
We can root for the City League
after Sunday. Say, won't a percent
age table look natural In local pa
pers?
Several more "daffys" arrived, and
1 am pleased to note the interest
taken, but didn't print them as I
have respect for old age. (BilI Nye
invented that joke.)
Arthur Henne, Of ~Tottenyille. will
endeayor to swim next week to
Keansburg, from a Perth Amboy
wharf. 1t is a distance of twelve
miles and, believe me DO, shoot
will be going some If he turns the
trick. This lad is one of the best
swimmers on the Island.
Lewis Compton is travelling fast in
those tennis games down on the
Lewis street courts. He won his
last three matches and is getting
in line to cop the cup, his friends
state. The games are staged IN the
early morn Before you and l are
up, so to speak.
Those South Amboy Athletics are
confident of whipping the City
League champions, 1t seems. You
will have to grant that bunch is
fast, but are they fast enough for
the Marions or Danes? Methinks
not.
Roller skating will soon be coming

BESTS
STEVE FISHER
of Local Sporting
Man Wins Bout Easily.

John Bedenh- the Indiana ring
artist who is the prOtege Of Joseph
McNulty, of this city, administered a
severe drubbing to Steve Fisher at
the National Sporting Club in New
York last night. He fought brilliant
ly throughout the four rounds and
had his man at his mercy in practic-
uAs -vog- 5tu5v- OF the game. TITS
execution was such as pleased the
hard-to-satisfy fight fans" of the
metropolis, for he gave them an ex-
hibition such as is seen rarely among
the topnotcheTs. He fought every
step of the way and made Fisher go
his fastest clip, Fisher lodged and
blocked himself and used every bit
of skill he possessed to avoid the on
slaught of the westerner, but he was
badly battered and was a decided
loser.
A fair-sized delegation of sport
followers from this city, including
several members of the Lotos A. C.
who are taking a deep interest in
Bedell, were on hand and cheered
their ~favorite on. After witnessing
an exhibition of his style and game
ness they felt satisfied that he was a
good one to represent Perth Amboy.
His manager, Joseph McNulty, will
see that Bedell is carefully trained.
He will be given all the attention an
a~spirant for championship honors
should have, for Mr.. McNulty will
spare no effort to make him a fit
competitor for topnotch honors in his
class.
Young Bedell, as he is known in
the ring, fights at 1873 pounds and is
willing to take on all corners at that
weight. Those wishing his services
may secure them by negotiating with
his manager in this city. BedelI will
fight at the Long Acre Club in New
York next Wednesday night.

Manqanese and Its Uses.

Manganese is one of the substances
which had long been used in the arts
before its existence as an independent
metal was recognized. From prehis-
toric times it was employed as a col
oring material, but 1t vas not known
to be q distinct metal until 1774. In
India the primitive smiths used it as d
iux and as an alloy for holding iron
and bronze. Today its power as an
oxidizer, rendering 1t a most impor-
tant disinfectant, and its value as a
chemical reagent, as well as its in
creasing use as an alloy, caused an
active search to be made for its ores.
