ONCE orrin Dodd, the rich manager
of. the Bloomfield Baseball. Club
for the last seven years, has de-
cided to quit baseball and his assist
ant. John Hague. has determined on
the same course. Il Is beginning to
look as II there is nobody In Bloomfield
mp to the Job as successor to Messrs.
Dodd and Hague.
AZ the present time II appears to be
. pretty good bet that the Bloomfield
Cub may not be found on the field
next year..
II is UNDERSTOOD that Mr.. Dodd is
hurt personally at the action OF some
OF the property holders In the neigh
borhood of Williamson Oval.
The matter of maintaining the base
ball club was to have been considered
at the Bloomfield Board Of Trade meet
ing last night. but nothing was done
Bloomfield pride In the team may
change the situation later, but Just
now II looks as IL there Will be no team
In Bloomfield. This would be a loss
to sport In this vicinity. The Bloom
field club was better than most pro-
fessional baseball clubs under Class A.
We hope Bloomfield does not allow It's
great team to slide out of existences.
.
There is every indication chat the
coming year will be the most success
full ever enjoyed In local semi-profes-
sional circles. More native som win
go ouf this year who were developed
on local lots than ever before. The
success Of Dots Miller with Pitts
burg has been a big inspiration Tt
will not be long before the minor
league manager will be coming around
here regularly looking for material.
With It's advantages In the way OF
Sunday baseball. Newark and vicinity
ought to Ia a far better represents
tion In the big show han at present.
One will always find that a town where
Sunday baseball Ii permitted always
sends more players to the front. for
example 81 Louis.
We are wondering II semi-pro fans
will support their open-lot teams any
better this year the last? The day of
enclosed grounds for the semi-profes-
sionais h fast coming. The Tigers. of
Vailsburg, the Sta A. c.. at Electric
Park, will probably be pioneers. The
Bloomfield Baseball Club may also de-
sert open-lot ball. though 1t is possible
that this season they will be seen play
ing again on Williamson oval.

President Charley Chaplin. of the
Rochester Club. paid q flying visit to

Tommy AndIeach beat Young Crosby
IN o six-round bout at the Whirlwind
A c.. last night. Tommy has two more
bouts tied up. He meets Battling
Henry at the Pastime A. c. text Mon
day night and Terry Edwards at the
Whiriwind next Thursday night.
n IL strange. but true, that we have
s no wonderful pugiiistic champions now
except Jack johnson. Abe Attell might
be mentioned. but he has lost his
punch and cannot be considered q real
champion n longer. though he is just
as clever az ever.
New Workers would like to see
FREDDY Welsh. the English lightweight.
In q bout with Packey Mcfarland. II
would be short and sweet, they be.
liove.
- Ben Douglas Will be unable to box
for awhile, Denning cut him over the
left aye and Ben got a cold in the
wound, causing him a lot Of trouble.

The cost OF grading and paving Ham
burg place near the bal park will Ger.
eainiy not be objected to by the tai
paying ball fans. The work is GER
Mainly needed.
This talk that Langford can beat
yack johnson IL funny. Sambo cannot
beat johnson in q hundred weeks.
