ELKS DAY PROGRAM AT
 SEA BREEZE TOMORROW
Public Invited to Participate in Outing gSpeca Features For the Children--PO|iCe and EkS Ball Teams Clash--
 UnVeIing of Elk Statue <w

Eqks' Day will be celebrated at Sea Breeze Island tomorrow afternoon and evening, and from present indications 1t promises to be one of the biggest and most successful days this popular resort has ever known. The local antlered tribe is noted for the elabor- ateness and thoroughness of their en- tertainmepts, and tomorrow's program should bring them added laurels. The committee directing the affair, with the assistance of the Sea Breeze man agement, have striven hard to make the day an enjoyable and long re- membered one, and all who attend are assured of a royal good time:
 At the conclusion of the grand auto mobile parade, the paraders will pro ceed to the island where the events will come fast and furious. A band concert by the augmented Wheeler & Wilson band, interspersed with band solos by Harry Henry, one of the worlds premier band singers, will take place, followed by number of ath- letic and laugh provoking contests, in which the children only will take part. These events will be limited to school children, boys and girls, under IA years of age, and the winners of same will receive cash awards. The events will include a 75 yard dash for boys, a 40 yard dash for girls, a three-legged race, a bag race, doughnut eating and pie eating contests, and other mum bers The hidden gold'' contest will undoubtedly ?. prove attractive. The committee have hidden at various points in the grove, in the old mill, the bathing house, and in many other parts of the island buildings, all in spots that are easily accessible, certi- ficates emitting the holders to cash prizes of various denominations Other certificates calling for free rides on the figure eight. aerial swings, old mill, etc, have also been secreted As the management have generously granted free admission to the chil- dren who are accompanied by their parents, there should be a monster crowd of the little ones in attend ance.
 The afternoon will also witness a baseball game in which the hines rep resenting the Elks club and the Bridge port police department will contest. This game has hung fire a long while, and the local fans are greatly inter- ested in it's outcome. From the 1r-

BUCK GROUSE TOO BIG
 FOR YOUNG DAVE KURTz

Tn sensational bout Buck Grouse of Pittsburgh, weighing 15S pounds, and Young Dave Kurtz of Newark, weighing IA 3-4 pounds, fought. eight rounds at the Garden A. C., New York, last night. Referee Joh stop ped the bout in the eighth round De- spite the fact that Kurtz took the place of Jack Downing at short notice and conceded everything to Grouse, he, put up fierce fight. But Grouse proved too big and strong for his op- ponent, and when his handicap began to tell and the contest became one sided Joh stopped the affair.
 Boyo Driscoll of England outpoint- ed Young Reilly in the first ten-round bout. Driscoll weighed 126 pounds ard Reilly 12S 1-2 pounds Driscoll used a left jab to the face and pretty right cross to the jaw with such, pre- cision in the early rounds that he soon had Reilly's lips cut. Reilly was slow and backed away continuously. Only a few of, Deilly's punches landed.

the last he got so weak that he couldn't run or box. Still he was de-. termined to go on. When he went into. the ring on that sultry, suffo- eating night, he was so thin his bones rattled and he could hardly cast shadow. Terrible Terry was in the pink of condition, his 1.-the body rosy with health. Despite his handicap, Frank put up great battle while it lasted. The boys mixed things from the clang of the gong. In the first round Erne put, every ounce of strength he had into a blow that stretched Terrible Terry on the can vas for the count of nine. In the second they exchanged fierce wallops, but it was evident that Erne had shot his bolt. In the third Erne went down twice before terrible slugs to the body. and the second time he couldn't get up. A couple of years later Erne lost his title to Joe Cans. It was probably the punishment he inflicted on himself in training down to 126 for McGovern that ended his pugilistic career so early.''

Outfielder Wheat of
 Brooklyn Physical Wreck
Manager Sends Player Home to Re-
 cover Lost Strength .,

Pittsburg, July 16.-Manager Dah= len, after having local doctor ex- anime Z9ck Wheat. decided the best place for him was home, consequent ly Wheat has left for Louisville, Ky, where he will rest for at least a week, or until he has gained some of his lost strength.
 'I never saw a player go down so fast as Wheat. has, remarked the manager. ''Why, it was only last week that the great outfielder said he never felt better, and in a weeks s time he is a wreck. The trouble with the outfelder is he works too hard he has been out of the game so much this season that he can not keep in condition, consequently when he is out of the game for a week or two he gains weight and to rid him self of it, he works over time. I have warned him many times but he cannot be made to take it easy.

IN MAJOR LEAGUES

The Cubs and Pirates are both play ing really high class baseball and fair hy laying for a chance to hop the champions. But it just happens that both have for several weeks past been l1raveling at a much faster pace than to maintain. Chicago, for one, is playing beyond it's speed. The Cubs will drop back. The Pirates may threaten longer, but they are fourteen games to the bad and fourteen games are always fourteen games.
 Chicago has a habit of coming up during the latter part of July and through August. Then the old boys get unusually chipper and play like thunder. But that lets them out Just now Chance has the best ball club in the league. But it's a fairly good bet that it stops with a sicken- ing thud along about the latter part of next month. Such is the dope and tn this respect at least the dope gen. eEally runs true.
 To-day the Boston Red Sox are al- most as far ahead of the Athletics as the Giants are ahead of the Cubs. sStahfs lead has drawn to 10 1-2 games, and stretching out with every game played Washington is only six and a haR games behind the flying leaders, 0ut Philadelphia is the club Boston Ggures it has to beat to horn into the worlds series.
 This week, after they have disposed of Detroit and Cleveland, the Red Sox and Athletics take on Chicago and De- froit, respectively. Mack's mem seem co have some slight advantage on the shift Boston has won four out of seven games from the White Sox this year, while the Athletics have won four out of six from Detroit.
 According Go past performances. the Champions of the World should have aess trouble disposing Of their oppon- verts than the leaders should experi- sence in holding theirs. Detroit how ever, is stronger now than at any time since the opening of the campaign, while Chicago has fallen off since it fattened it's percentage at Boston s expense on the first trip East Last nime they bumped into the Callahan outfit the Stahl crew found the pick ing very. very easy.
 There are few now who do not con- cede that Philadelphia is now an out ride chance in the American League and nothing more. That wonderful Enfield may still be "all there" and all that sort of thing, but the outfield Isn't playing up to last years stand ard and the pitching staff is a delu- zion and a snare.

CHICAGO FAILS.
 TO GET CHASE FROM YANKEES

: Chicago, July 16.-Pr.esident Charles Comiskey, of the White Sox, returned to Chicago from New York Sunday night and set at rest rumors that Hal Chase, of the -Highlanders, might come to his club.
 we had no chance to get Chase said Comiskey, without weakening our club more. than Chase would have strengthened it. No trade would be agreed to by New York that would not leave hole in. the home team that it would be immediately neces- sary to fill with a good man"
 Comiskeys did not make known the names of players mentioned in the attempted trade.

The latest rumor is that Cy Miller of the Mechanics may be traded for Pitcher Johnny Lower of Waterbury. The local club is badly in need of pitcher and the Spuds could use. a good hitter. Manager McCann was seen just before the Mechanics left for Springfield this morning. He de nied that any trade had been made but intimated that, another. pitcher would be with the club in a few days. Lower has not won. many games this season but his slump is probably due to .Waterbury's poor. showing.

YOUNG CHURCH.

Who says the members of organized

ing shown by outsiders toward the labor
movement The Doubling Thomases had
better not visit Twenty-fourth and Sum
mitt avenues, where building tradesmen
of the city generously assisted a strug-
Cling congregation to erect a new par
sonage for the pastor. Rev. Switzer of
the Grace M. Z. church has always been
a firm friend of union labor. On several
occasions he has visited the Trades Coun-
ell and encouraged the boys by his re.
marks, and on last Labor Sunday it was
in his church that our Labor Day speaker
spread the gospel of unionism. So, when
it became known that the church needed
a new parsonage and did not have any
too much funds to pay for it, the boys
volunteered their services. A large force
of union carpenters gave two days this
week to the construction of the new

Supplies from the merchants will be

"The good roads give to every rancher
in the country a street car at his door,
for it is well established fact that
where these good roads have been put
in, line of automobiles on a cheap

Good roads enable the workman who
works in the city to live in the country,
where he may have his garden, chickens

The proposed bonding plan is receiv-
ing wide discussion throughout the coun-
ty and the friends of the system believe
it has an excellent chance to carry in
the coming election.
