Two Clever Statesmen.

One crisis in Lord Palmerston's life
illustrates the absolute good humor
which may prevail even when political
enmity is at it's worst Lord Derby
had made an attack upon him in the
upper house with such energy and elo-
quence that the odds against him
seemed overwhelming But he defend,
ed himself and his policy from the
dusk Of one day to the dawn of an
other with such tact, deXterity and
force of appeal to the national sense OF
honor that he was acquitted Of all
blame by a majority Of fourscore.
Next day in passing through the cor
ridOr leading from an anterO0m to the
uDper house one swing door opened to
his hand and at the same moment the
other to that of Lord Derby. They
were opponents, but they were also
manly and sweet natured men. They
smiled

ston. what q clever fellow he was who
so nearly put me in hole!'
"Ah'' was the rejoinder 'but moth
ing like the cleverness of the fellow
who got you out of it!'

HOT AFTER THE
NEWS REMNANT
Can Judge All Teams in
League kfher Sunday.

The second week of the City
League in the race for the EVEN
ING NEWS pennant opened with
two more good games, Perth Am
boys VS.. Saints, and the Franklins
VS.. Marions. The fans will be able
to Judge all the teams after this
wees game for all will then have
made their appearance on the lot in
the league series.
Nobody knows the strength Of the
revised Amboys, but they all have
made up their minds. Manager
Hardiman, Of the team, says that
they will have as good a bunch as
ever stepped on the stockade soil.
The manager has been doing scout
duty for several weeks and he
thinks he has found some of the
best players in the county. He has
added these to his nine with the
hopes of putting out a pennant
team.
The game this week will be de-
cided whether he has succeeded or
not. The Saints will be there in
usual good form and they expect to
take no chances ON the game. They
will start in the beginning and go
right on until they are sure of the
contest. They say they mfhgt give
the Amboy team a chance, but they
are somewhat doubtful on that
point.
The other game will be between
the Marions and the Franklins.
This match will show whether the
Franklins can compete with the Mar
ions for the pennant. The Frank
Inns are good in their class, but
whether they r in the class with
the Marions or not, will be decided
In this weeks match.
Another large crowd is expected
at this Sundays bill and every indica
ton points to the success Of the
league.

R0ESSLER is
The FAVORITE
Picked as the Winner OF
the Second Prize.

No games were played this morn
ing in the tournament of the South
End Club. Tomorrow morning Scott
Burns will play with Fritz Roessler
and Russell Woglom. Burns has had
hard luck so far, having lost four
straight games. He will give both
boys a handirop OF plus thirty but
will make a hlS ~vtteu.ga ~ Sin hath

games to play, and II h, should win
these will only have a percentage of

win the third prize, a bronze medal,
should the others fall down on their
sets.
There is going to be some fight,
however, for the silver medal, which
will be given to the one who captures
second place. This Is between Fritz
Roessler, Chester Peck, and Russell
Woglom, who will play it out the day
after tomorrow. Fritz is already
picked as the winner, and If he beats
Burns tomorrow morning will win 1t,
having won four and lost but one

The third place is doubtful, and
lies between Hans Roessler, Oren

pected that the tournament will be
finished up this week.

INTEREST IN PRINCETON
AND ASHLAND GAME

The P~rincetons and the Ashlands
will meet the first Sunday in Septem-
Der tn what is expected to be one
of the best junior games Of the sea-
son. To make the deal interesting
a side bet of $40 has been placed
on the. result. This will assist in
making the players move around the
plot in fast time. The Ashlands and
the Princetons are as nearly evenly
matched as any two teams in this
city. For this reason the fans are
expecting a good game. The Ash
lands will get into trim for the meet
early and they claim that there will
be nothing to the game for the
Princetons.
The Princetons have another idea.
Their hackers think that the game
will come to them and there is like
ly to be some coin in the air when
the day of the game arrives. Both
teams seem confident Of the game
and for that reason it should be in
teresting to every lover of base ball.

MANHATTAN A. G. WILL
MEETASHLANDSSU SUNDAY

The Manhattan A. G. will meet
the Ashlands on Brogger's field
Sunday and another classy game is
looked for by the fans. The Man
hattans have been coping some
hard games recently and they ex-
pect to give the Ashlands a run for
their money. Last week they de-
feated the fast Jeffersonians in good
shape. The victory has encouraged
them and they think that this is a
sign that they are going to get some
more.
The Ashlands know that their
team is there with the goods and
they have no fear that they will
be taken into camp in easy style.
Moreover, they claim that they Will
start things in the first round and
keep them going until they have
enough runs to win the contest.
The batteries for the teams have
not yet been announced, but 1t is
likely that CARTS will pitch for the
Ashlands and Segar will catch.

PLAN FOR
BASKETBALL SEASON

The Purltans are getting material
together for their basket ball team

present is fine and they expect to pro-
duce another pennant winning team.

will give them a trial before they de-
eide to put any others on. A meet
ing will be held in the near future
for the purpose Of picking the men
and getting them out on the floor.

T0TTEhVIlE PITCHER
MAKING GREAT RECORD


McGrath, the new slab artist Of
the Tottenville A. c., is a conner,
from all accounts. He is only eigh-
teen years old and has the best part
of his career before him. Assistant
Manager Kreischer Of the T. A. c.,
who is directing the team in in the
absence of Manager Sharrott gives
him the highest praise. He started
a little in Saturdays game
with the All-Manhattans he soon set
tied down and walloped the New
York team in fine fashion. No less
than eleven men went down the
strike out path under his terrific
fire and they could only connect
with six good ones. He did we'll with
the club, making three good swats.
A heavy hitting pitcher is some
thing to be envied by any team and
the Tottenville A. c. are lucky to
get him. Last weeks game showed
that he has plenty of curves and
steam and he uses them to perfec-
ton. From nov on the Tottenville
lads will use him frequently and
many fans will make a trip to the
diamond for the express purpose OF
seeing the boy toss the ball owe the
lot.

they caught seventy-seven bluefish,
a croaker and two fluke. They
anchored near the oyster stakes off
the mouth OF the CheeseQuake creek
j~etties.
If you know where the striped
bass feed in the Raritan river you
can go there now and catch some.
Their haunts are hard TO describe
to a stranger, as there are so many
flats and bars along the feeding
grounds. Some of the New Bruins
wick fishermen who have been after
large weakfish lately claim that the
bass are going up the river in great
shape.

THAT GAME AT
MT. L0RETTO
Sporting Editor is Asked Re-
garding the Dispute.

This communication has been re-
ceiyed from Mt. Loretto about the
game Sunday between their team
and the Sewaren A. c.:
Sporting Editor.
Dear Sir
l would like to have you decide
about the baseball game between the
Sewarens and Mt. Loretto B. B. G.
which ended without the game being
finished. First of all, 1 will tell you
a little about the game so as to have
both sides, as l know the Sewarens
will let you have their side of it. We
picked two umpires, one for each
side, to change around every inning.
They kicked on the first ball pitched
by their pitcher and it was the same
all during the game even when their
own umpire called strikes or balls
and l did not forget to remind them
every time. In the last inning they
had a man on second when their Sec
ond baseman knocked a foul twenty
feet outside the foul line. The bats
man was surprised when the umpire
called it fair. During that inning
three more of those balls were called
ShS OohtO way 4 ulu uOl StOp Lu6
game by kicking, l let the umpire be
the Judge, but in our part of the last
inning the first man to bat got on
base and stole second. In one of
those close decisions the field umpire
called the man safe; he was standing
over the play at the time and gave
the decision as he saw 1t. All the
Sewarens began to kick at one time
owe 1t and wanted me to call the
man out. As / could not go against
the umpire / would not. To make a
long story short they got their UNI
pire to call the man out, saying he
had the power to do SO and gave the
game to the Sewarens. / was at bat
and ready to play, but they walked
off the field.
Now, Mr.. Editor, what I want you
to decide is this: Did the umpire on
balls and strikes have power to re-
verse the decision of the field umpire
on a decision given at second base
and then give the game by forfeit?
Rule 60 does not say SO. A part Of
the rule says under no circum-
stances shall either umpire criticise
or interfere with a decision unless
asked to do so by his associate" He
was not asked, so what did he have
to do about it? Mr.. Editor, 1 don't
ask you to print all this letter but
as much as YOU see fit to print. !
know you will give a little time to
answering this letter, as l would like
to do right at all times. This Is the
first team to act like this. Let all
the teams that have been over this
year answer for me. Thanking you
for taking up SO much of your time,

BURKE WINS OVER PAPKE.
New MiddIeweight champion" Out
classed the "Pretender."

CIaSSSo HfiS
New York, Aug. 23.-Billy Papke,
who says he is the m~iddleweight cham
pten of the world, made a sorry appear
ance in the ring of the Twentieth Cen
fury Athletic club. Sailor" Burke Of
Brooklyn, a second rater, beat him
with ease on points and made him look
Hike an inexperienced amateur at times.
Papke never put up a worse light IN
his career. If he was trying his best
the conclusion can be drawn that he
is a counterfeit champion. If he was
stalling then the new state commission
should put him on the list OF ineli-
gibles. Papke did not try to fight, 1t
seemed. He blocked and clinched in
~cessantly, while Burke did the leading
and the greater part Of the landing.
The champion, so called, did not
show a trace of the knockout wallop
that put Ketchel, Dave Smith and jim
Sullivan TO sleep. He seemed afraid to
stand ND and take chances with the
sailors well directed punches, and at
severa stages of the mill he took to
his heels to avoid punishment.

TO SAIL SIXTH
RACE SATURDAY
Close Contest Expected Be-
tween Tempest and BoIe.

One Of the best races Of the season
Is predicted for next Saturday after
noon, when the sixth race IN the
Raritan Yacht Club series will be
run of over the triangle course.
The closest race is expected be-
tween the Tempest, which has won
four times out Of five, and the Bole,
which has come in second several
times, and is now third in the series,
crawling up from fifth place. Cap
tain Decker, Of Tottenville, will sail
the Bole, and he will no doubt show
the Railway boys who mar the Tenn
pest what sailing is, as he is a veter-
an yachtsman and has won every
race for the Bentley Club with their
dory but M The remainder of the
crew will be made up Of Andrew
Wight, Nat Pierce and Charles
Stumps. With this crew of old timers
on the water there is no reason why
Wight should not be able to pass
right by the rest, and win first place
for a change. The Bole has also
beer equipped with a new spfnnaker.
which will increase her sailing ability
a lot.
There probably will be only five
more races, but there ia plenty of
time for those who are rather low On
points so far to come up into the
lead. At present the Tempest leads
with 40 points TO its credit; the
Elsie, of Keyport, comes second, with
"a points; the Bole is now third, hav-
ing 80, just ahead of the Mar
guerite, which has 20. The E1lida
comes sixth, with II, the Estella
having 16 points. The majority of
the other boats are way down in
points, having about three or four.
AS may be seen from this score, the
boats are almost even in number of
points, n having just one more
than the other, and so on.
The majority of the boats in the
series now are going to enter into
the races at the Keyport regatta on
Labor Day, and they Will try to cop
a few prizes over there. The same
day will be the finish of the dory
races for the year, and there will be
a large crowd of enthusiasts on hand
to watch it. Several members of the
club have also planned to enter int
some Of the water sports and swi.a-
ming races and will show them a ey
things in that line, also.

FACTORY BOYS
IN BASKETBALL
Proposition Now Advanced
for League This Winter.

Plans are now under way for a
City Factory Basketball League in
this city among the stars Of the local
factories, and the idea has met with
favor among the sporting element in
town. Many Of the factory men
have also expressed their approval
of such a league, and from their talk
would even go as far as backing the
teams.
With a city factory league and the
regular league, composed of the
Dexters, Riyersides and other teams,
there should be plenty of contests TO
satisfy the local followers Of the
game. There will probably be teams
from the following factories, and no
doubt others will enter later in the
season.
The Cable Works, with Belts and
Walters, two T~ottenville a. c. stars,
VIII give the rest a good run. At
the A. s. & R. plant Mulligan, a
Marion player, is Il of the chief
workers in trying to form this
league. Weitzen, another Marion,
who is well up in the game, is awak-
ening interest among the players at
S"S bNCCooACl q I1dSSIdClltI
while Louis Ellie, at the Raritan Cop
per Works, and John Anderson, of
the Pardee Works, two Of the clever
Dexter players, are aiding in organ
izing the league.
While nothing definite has been
decided upon as yet 1t is probable
that these aforementioned men from
the several factories viii get togeth-
er and will arrange one of the best
schedules for basketball for the win
ter season.
Other factories who think they
have the material will no doubt be
asked to join. The employees of the
Manheiser G Hasse concern are ON
stderfng entering a team consisting
of outside material from another fac
tory.
There is no reason why this league
should not be a success, as they have
abundant material to put UP some
Of the classiest games around here.
The first meeting of the managers
will not be held until after the base
ball season closes, but IN the time
from now to then some new material
will be looked over by the leaders of
each team, and practice will be in
dulged in probably twice a week to
get the men ready for a long season.

D0IRCS AMONG
LOCAL BOAT OWNERS

Several boats have changed hands
during the past week, the principal
one being, that Of Lester Deitche's
new speed boat, which he has sold
to William Merrill, of this city. Deit-
che's boat was one Of the neatest
and speediest boats In this vicinity.
She is a new boat, built by Peter
sen, at the foot of Gordon street, last
winter, and Is a handsome produc-
ton, costing over 5000. The boat Is
about twenty-five feet long, has a
beam Of three feet, and a depth of
only five inches. A three cylinder
auto marine engine drives the boat
along at a speed of fifteen miles an
hour.
Alfred Compton has purchased a
new power tender for his yacht the
Ellida, which greatly adds to the en-
joyment of cruising and transporting
passengers to his boat. The tender
measures about fifteen feet and is
equipped with a horse and a half
power Palmer engine, which propels
the small craft along at a rate of
seven miles an hour.
R. j. Hooban and Albert Warner,
of this city, who recently purchased
the Rayo, a fast speed boat, are
working on the boat every day, and
expect to have the boat in first class
condition. The hull was constructed
especially for speed, and a large
horse power, auto marine engine is
being installed which will make 1t
one of the fastest boats in these
parts.

Mgr. Mt. Loretto B. B. G.
If Manager Riley's account Of the
argument is correct, the umptre-in-
chief exceeded his authority, for
Rule 81, Sec. 1, says that the field
umpire shall render all decisions at
first and second bases and at third
base except IN certain cases. Rule
Is, Sec. 2 states that II after the
game has begun, one side refuses to
play, it shall be forfeited unless it
has been suspended or terminated by
the umpire.
The game had not been terminal
ed or suspended according to the
account and the Sewaren team walk
ed off the field. According to the
rules the umpire-in-chief should
have called the game as forfeited In
favor of the Mt. Loretto team.
