Rain prohibited the playing of any
scheduled games IN the tournament
of the South End Pleasure Club yes
terday afternoon. Browning and
Compton were booked to play and a
large crowd of tennis fsnds were on

given to him on account of his being
out of the game so long. Now he is
giving the others handicaps. Comp
ton and Browning will probably meet
this afternoon.

ness the games. Many OF the local
tennis players have signifed their
dseire to enter into the tournament
despite the late date. Hans Roessler
Is in charge of the games and appli-
cation may be made to him by those

from soma good teams for this
week. He already has his eye on
some, but he wants to get a good
game and he will spare nc pains in
securing the right team.
He would like to get games with
such aggregations as the Ashlands,
~Princetons, Iriquois and Sterlings of
South Amboy. Any other teams In
the Manhattans class who want a

CITY LEAGUE
OPENS SUNDAY

All the fans are getting ready for
the exodus to the Amusement Park
stockade Sunday to see the big bar
gain day bill which will be put on the
boards-Danes VS.. Puritans and
Saints VS.. Franklins. Both games are
worth the price of admission and
never in the history of baseball in
this city has such a gigantic bill been
put up. The Danes and the Puritans
will open the second year of the City
League with a good mixup and the
game will be n of the best, judging
from the past performances of the
teams.
The other act will be the Saints
and Franklins. The Franklins want
ed to have a separate date for this
game and they did well for the con-
test will be one of the best between
these two teams. Everybody who
has any regard for the national frolic
will appreciate this mixup. The fans
Of this city know that the Saints and
Franklin series have been attracting
some of the largest crowds that ever
witnessed games in this city since the
days of the old Marions. Great riy-
airy has arisen between the followers
Of these teams and many a roll will
be separated from its owner Sunday.
The game is included in the original
series. The score is Franklins, 2;
Saints, 1.
So don't stand on the corner and
wait for something to happen this
Sunday, but beat it to the place
where something is doing.

GAME AT PRINCE BAY

The Princetons seem to ha looking
for trouble for they have arranged to
travel to Princes Bay and play the
fast Raritan Bay Club, of that place.
The Princetons have been putting up
a good game all cas- and are ready
to tackle the islanders this week.
They think they will come out on the
top and nothing less than the heavy
end of the score will satisfy them.
They know that they are up against
a hard proposition but they went in
to it with their eyes open and mean
to show the Raritan Bay boys what
kind of baseball is played In this city.
The Princetons are having no
trouble in booking good games this
season and many teams would like to
play them from this city. They have
a few open dates 1t Is understood,
but whether they want to fill them

in this vicinity are trying to book
games with them and If they could
meet some of them there Is sure to
be a good contest, for some of the
newer teams have a good backing
and a fast team.
The Princetons lineup Will be
about the same as last week and it

in, there will be some large catches
reported, no doubt.
Fish are so plentiful here, that
they may be caught off the docks,
without any trouble. One man got
two striped ass down off the old
dock at Front street, after fishing a
couple of hours. Old timers say
they never heard of fish being caught
off the docks, but such Is the case
now. From the shore out to the
quarantine buoy, there is a plenty OF
fish for everyone.

fans are already for the game with
the South Amboy Athletics to be
played on theg rounds at this place
Saturday. The fans are encouraged
at the way the boys performed last
week against the Athletics and they
think that there will be a good game
on the boards this time. There
seems to be some trouble on the
South Amboy end. Manager Suits
of the Athletics says he is having
trouble In getting a team to gether
who will play off the home grounds.
If the manager takes the trouble to
book games for the players they
should be c~onsiderate enough to
play them.
When the locals went to South
Amboy last Saturday there was an
understanding between the two man
ayers hat a return game would be
played this week on the local
grounds. The local fans have not
seer a game for some time on the
home field and they are waiting pa
tiently for the South Amboy team to
put in its appearance.

.0'BRIEN OUT
IN 9Th ROUND
Langford Has Fight CInched
From the Start.

Sam Langford made a show Of
Jack O'Brien in their bout at the
twentieth Century Athletic Club, in
New York last night. The Phila-
delphian was helpless in the fifth
round and Charley White, the ref
cree, humanely waved the Boston
colored pugilist to his corner, ending
the one-sided affair. Langford reach
ed O'Brien's Jaw Just in front Of the
hand swing in the fifth. O'Brien fell
to his knees in practically a helpless
condition and Referee White inter
fered.
From the first round the result
was neve In doubt. O'Brien's skill
was no barrier to the rushes which
the Boston Tar Baby made.
O'Brien danced around at first, evad-
ing Langford's blows and occasion
ally landing himself. His blows were
as compared to the colored boxers,
love taps. Langford soon began to
land and O'Brien began to slow up.
He resorted to clinching, but that
was only a temporary respite. The
blood flowed freely, Langford not
trying to avoid punishment, while
O'Brien In the second round got a
Jolt that brought the claret. A pow
erful left hook sen O'Brten down in
the third, but he would not take
the count. He had a hard time of
it, however, and the bell was well
coined.
In the fourth round, toward the
end, Langford had O'Brien IN a bad
way and 1t did not take Langford
long to put on the finishing touches
In the fifth.
While the crowd was waiting i'm
patiently for the principals in the
main bout to appear Bob Fftzsim-
mons and Peter Maher were intro
duced. The veterans got a big re-
ception, the cheering listing for
fully five minutes. Tom Sharkey
also got a chance to hear the intro
Queer tell the vrowd who he was.
Langford and O'Brien entered the
ring at 1925 o'clock. Kid Mccoy
was in O'Brien's corner and Porky
Flynn assisted Langford. While
the men were putting on their
gloves Harlem Tommy Murphy,
Billy Papke and Abe Attell were
presented. Next followed a fash
light picture OF the principals and
they were ready for action.

Sporting Editor News
This is q good place to sleep,
dream and fish. 1t IS very quiet and
r%estful. The latter being so for sew
eraI reasons. The principal one be-
ing that though the waters TEEN
with fish and the lakes and sur
rounding country is very beautiful,
but owing to the railroads not
touching points near the lakes there
have been no booms Of It as a resort;
as no one sof ar has had any reason
to spend money in advertising it, as
do the Central and Grand Trunk
railroads. They do this for the
places their lines reach, such as
Lake Of Bays, Temagami and Muss-
koko lakes, etc. This will no doubt
change in a very short time, as the
railroads are on their way into new
land. The Canadian Northern has
had surveys completed for g line
running through this district, begin

being about forty miles from here
