Track and Field
BY CROSsRAR

Athletic enthusiasts will be given
a chance to see several of the local
athletes in action this afternoon at
the Woodbridge meet. A large en-
try of classy performers from several
of the big clubs of the Metropolitan
Union has already been received and
if the local favorites bring home any
"sinkers" they will deserve much
credit.
Luke" Compton, the lanky high
jumper from Exeter, has succeeded
in mastering a clever style of clear
ing the bar in the high jump. While
a student at Perth Amboy High
School, Compton depended largely
on his length of limb to hoist him
self over the stick, but since making
the track team at Exeter he has OBJ
tanned that necessary wiggle or twist
just as he is about to strike the bar.
This style has enabled him to clear
five feet nine inches in several inter
collegiate dual meets, and with a leap
like this he should carry off the first
prize at the Woodbridge meet on
Saturday.
Bob" Lehman, the blond-haired
runner of the Trinity Field Club, Is
a promising middle-distance runner.
He has an easy action while running
and a stride which carries him over
the ground In a deceiving manner.
Lahman ran a fast $3.50" on the Tot
tehville A. C.'s small track in train
ing the other evening, incidentally
surprising a timer who snapped him
for the distance.
Carl Mullins. the big weight
thrower of the Riversides, is putting
the 12-pound shot in excellent form.
Mullins manner of putting is SINH
lar to that of the present Jersey
shot putter, Maloney, Of
the st. Mary's A. c., of Bayonne. At
the Tottenville A. Q. games on the
Fourth (Which was the same date
as the Jersey Champs), Mullins flip
ped the shot out over forty-one feet
without being pushed, whereas if he
had competed in the Jersey Cham
he would have given Ma
loney a hard tussle for the honors
for first place, Maloney's winning
put being forty-four feet ten inches.
Mullins Is capable of doing even bet
ter than this and 1t will not be at
all surprising to see him grab the
title next year.

Marlons Will Play Morgan

The attractions in this vicinity this

offered to fans. The city champions,
the Marions, will tackle the crack
Morgan bunch, at Morgan, and hope
are a little Uneasy because they got
theirs last week at the hands of the
South River aggregation and expect
to partially atone for the defeat by
trouncing the Morgan lads. There
have been some changes made in the
lineup, it is said, and the team
strengthened in every department. A
great game is expected.
According to the present outlook,
the Danish Sociables will Journey to
Fair Haven, where they will handle
the boys at that place. Many of the
Fair Haven bunch will go on the
Coney Island excursion tonight and
the Danes think that they will not he
able to see the ball tomorrow. If
this is the case, the Danish bunch
ought to have no trouble with the
down-state boys.
The Goodwills have made arrange
ments to play at Tottenville tomor-

The local team has been practicing
hard this last week and they know
how they ought to do the trick.

Big Changes In Tigers and Athletics.

Athletics and Tigers, who are bat
ting for the pennant this year, as they
have in most of the campaigns during

fields. Harry Davis is the only man

Patsy Donovan is probably proving
himself the most satisfactory manager
that the Boston club has ever had,
because he does not appear to object
to the interference Of Owner John I.
Taylor.
The average man In charge of a ball
team wants to be the boss. He wants
to be consulted about when players
are to be let out or others secured.
Donovan, however, seems to differ In
this respect, for he has not raised his
voice against anything Taylor has
done or intimated.
All his predecessors forced them
selves out of their Jobs because they
did not want Taylor to NEEDLE with

Did you realize that the Wood
bridge track and field meet this af-
ternoon Is the first event of it's kind
ever held in Middlesex county under
the sanction of the A. A. U. It's a
fact.
Where's Washington Park2 Take
a trolley to Main street, Woodbridge,

change your course, and in fifteen
minutes you will reach the park.
Looks easy. It's only a milel Stages
will meet the trolleys, but are bound
to be crowded.
Frank Mccormick, the sterling
runner Of this city, should make a
splendid showing in the sprints.

Let me call your attention to the
crowd of Belleville c. C. entries.

All eyes on the 400" McCor-
mick has twelve yards in this event,
with Joe Dolan, of the Pastime A.
c., running scratch. Ogg and Bell,
Of the Mohawk A. c., have three
and five yards respectively. Dolan
can run some, though, for he finish
ed third in the Junior Championship
at Pittsburg on June 80. That's
some honor. It's MACS" fayorite

Bell starts on scratch in the 220
hurdle. R. w. Mcdonald, Of the

All eyes VIII be on young j. j.
Quinn, the Red Bank lad entered in
the hammer throw under the colors
of the Paullst A. G. He has three
feet on Elliott, Reach, and Albers.
Quinn competed against the local
high school In a Red Bank
early this summer. Ed. Cook,
Quinn's clubmate, has a twenty-foot
handicap. Gee. that's a lot.
Oh, no, Joe Dolan doesn't always
run from scratch. J. j. Archer, of
the Irish-Americans, will give him
Just f1fty-four inches start in the
"220." Say, won't that be a pretty
dash2 There are no local boys in
this event. Archer won the junior
championship at New Orleans in
1910.
Our sister city, South Amboy, will
start two men in the pole vault. They
are brothers, e. w. and R. w. Crane.
l don't know what the "W" stands
for, but they both can't win. CHATS
Joke No. q. The Crane boys have
twenty-five inches handicap. They'll
need it, too, for the scratch man, A.
w. Lambert, Jr., of Washington
University, Mo, has a record Of
twelve feet. Did you ever see a man
vault twelve feet? Take it from me,
kid, he Is way, way Cup in the air."
AS If you had his goat, so to speak.
Speaking of goats, won't there be
some kidding in that two-mile run.
IT'S said the runners always jolly
one another along in this gruelling
affair. / don't know, l ley ran
that far. M. J. Davanny. Of the
Belleville G. c., and Frank Joyce, of
the Mohawk A. c., start from
scratch. Tom Dwyer, Joyce's club
mate, and F. A. Brennan, of the Pas
time A. c., get handicaps of twenty
five and fifty yards, respectively.
Cosgrove and Geiger, the New Bruins
wick men, get handicaps of 120
yards each. Joyce is junior cham
pion of the Metropolitan Union.
Now comes the mile relay-the
biggest event of them all. We have
a dandy bunch of lads entered in
this event, and should cop a place.
Toolan, Mccormick, Roessler and
Crowell will toe the mark for the
Riversides. The Pastime A. G. will
start nearest the scratch mark, and
have granted the locals about eigh-
teen yards handicap. Some distance
that, especially when you have to
overtake the fast flying Mccormick.
The Belleville c. G. will start on
even terms with the Pastimes.
Do you want to know how they
fix the handicaps In this event? Take
the $40" handicap of each member
of the competing quartet, add them
together and give the total as a
handicap to the first running on the
relay team. The clubs other three
rr1nnars start on even terms with
their opponents.
Now a word. before 1 subside, fol-

a commendable example for the ath-
letic clubs in this city? Well, they
are, and l doff my hat to its hustling
