contrast this with the Coliseum con-
vention this afternoon. Mark the dill
ference between a peoples conven-

ton should end appropriately"

Natural Query,

Gen. F. d. Grant, when discussing
military neatness, used often to tell 2
story about his father.
my father was talking 70 General
Sherman in his tent one day." he
would begin, when a third general
entered, brigadier notorious for his
slcyenliness. After the brigadier left
my father blew forth cloud of smoke
and said: Sherman, l wonder whom

Gron, the right fielder of the
South River nine which played at
South Amboy Saturday, pulled a
feature throw when after there were
two men on the bases and Atkinson
singled out to right field, GrOn threw
home and on account of the accuracy
of the heave the unn was out at
the plate by an inch. 1t checked
the Athletics rally and probably
saved the day, as the visitors won
out by but one run.

ALLEN MAKES
CLASSY SHOTS
PIainfieId Man Causes Sur
prise at Boynton Beach.

Numerous people were attracted
by the excellent craftsmanship of F.
G. Allen, at Boynton Beach, Saturday
night. Allen, who is a resident OF
Plainfield, successfully shot at a one
half inch target fifteen times out OF
as many chances. His accuracy was
wonderful, in fact SO much so that
one of the onlookers bet Allen one
dollar that the ri1eman could not hit
the target fifteen times in succession.
Allen performed the feat and collect
ed the iron man.
About three years ago Allen vas a
member of the United States militia
of P%latnfeld. He belonged to Com
pany X and was there noted for &C
curacy of shooting. He was once III
vited into the ranks of Buffalo Bits
sharpshooters when that show vas
at the Madison Square Garden IN
New York. After giving several ex,
hibitions Annie Oakley, the marvel
of Buffalo Bill's squad, urged Allen
to follow up his practice of shooting.
She commended him greatly upon MS
work. Allen was also asked by many
to take part in the Olympic tryouts
for marksmen, but he declined, pc
lieving that his duties at home were
more urgent. He Is known now 10
those who visit the shooting gallery
at Boynton Beach and when a crowd
is assembled there n IAN expect 70
see Allen performing.

ARE AFRAID
OF SP0TSW00D
HeImetta and Old Bridge
Throw Down Challenge.
Special to the EVENING NEWS.

Special to the EVENING NEWS-
Spotswood, July 9.-There is
much speculation on here as to
whether or not the "Old Fishermen
Team" as it Is called, could down
the representative mines of Old
Bridge and Helmetta, as they now
stand. The teams Of the last two
mentioned places are unusually
strong this year, to be exact, but the
fellows who made up" the Fisher
men team of three years ago are still
in the business, although not play
ing steadily with any team. The
players feel that they are not old
yet, but in a class with their rivals
in the nearby towns. Three years
ago nothing could stop the local
bunch, save the team from South
River and a county seat nine, so the
fellows feel that there is still enough
spark left in the old nine to trim
some of these teams around these
parts.
But, there's a but. The manage
ment of the Old Bridge and Helmetta
teams can not see the advantage of
booking games with the Spotswood
nine, which could be organized in a
few days notice. The managers of
the rival clubs were challenged by
the Spotswood lads about three
months ago, but the managers did
not deem it ever polite to answer
the letters. 1t Is understood that
the Helmetta club manager, Patrick
J. Hogan, has made a remark that
"the Spotswood fellows better get
a reputation before trying to book
a game with my club There
was a time when Spotswood defeated
Helmetta with ease and, also, they
did not conf1ne their efforts to two
second rate amateur mines as has
been the action of the Helmetta
Management this season. The club
from the nearby town plays English
town and Old Bridge every alternate
Saturday, and hasn't the nerve to
book UP with a fast team from South
or Perth Amboy. the local fellow de-
~clares. Spotswood will play either
Helmetta or Old Bridge, separately
or combined, any Saturday afternoon
this ummer.

BATTLE ROYAL
BEING PLANNED
FrankIins.Wan to Play South
River Team Sunday

They're all going for them now.
Yes, the Franklins of this city will
try to book the South River baseball
nine for a tussle this Sunday. The
locals are going strong these days
and all the fans who were with them
at the beginning of the season are
coming out strong for Apples"
team now. Harry Applegate, the
star mound performer of the Frank
Inns, Will be on the slab and will be
ably assisted by FRITZ, his receiving
mate. Murray will also be on hand
for emergency. The locals feel GER
tain that they can give the boys from
down the line a battle royal and all
they ask is a chance. It's a c1nch
that 1t will be no runaway and 1t 1s
also a safe wager that there will be
greenbacks bet by supporters of the
local team on a game between these
two mines.
1t is claimed by many that Dame
Fortune has been with the Franklins
in every battle of importance. Once
the wing of Ill fate kept these boys
from playing in the July A battle.
Another time twenty fell before the
masterful delivery of the Franklins
twirler and still victory did not
come into the camp of "Happy's"
bunch. But nov they feel hal they
are coming strong and a game be-
tween the South Riverites and the
locals would be no pipe for either
aggregation.

TIPS FROM SOUTH RIvER-ATHLETICS GAME

Thsi is the first time apple"
ever did anything like that but DON
the inning was ended. Not another
tally was scored after that frame.
And believe me, Apologize meant
business throughout the game.
II y y
Atkinson, the mound performer OF
the Athletics, ought to be handed a
card of sympathy. His regular line
up would not play Saturday and try
as he would, he could not get his
team mates tA4elp him. Besides
twirling tgTr ball, ne three hits
out TT four chances.
Eddie" Holtzheimer and George
Smith of the Marions, who went to
South Amboy to witness the game
were asked to play and responded.
Smith received "Ackie," while
Dutch took care of center field
for the Athletics.
Joe" Mullen is some boy at first
base. He made six put outs without
an error. And some of the put outs
saved the infielders of his team err
rors in two cases. He could not
connect with "Ackie's' slants.
A large crew of local fandom wit
messed the battle.

A sport which promises to build
up in the hearts of the American
like the mighty national pastime,
baseball, has done, is tennis. With
out exaggeration, lovers of this clean
and healthy sport nearly double ev-
cry month. The only reason perhaps
that there are not hear so many en-
gagged in this braych of athletics as
in baseball, the most popular of
sportdom, is that very few can use
the same space in tennis that many
can use IN baseball. A tennis court
must also be cared for and a vacant
lot here or there cannot answer the
purpose for a tennis game unless it
is marked and smoothened. Unlike
baseball. the game is played in this
city by very few boys or girls under
the age of sixteen. But-the ages
over that vary, some tennis sharks
being forty years old.
Tennis is considered by many the
baseball to girls and The
majority of the players in this city
are females, unfolding our argu-
ment that this game Is and should
be the baseball to woman. There
are about ten courts in this city and
all are densely populated during the
early hours of the morning and alHo

PUOILISM ATHLETICS
JUNIOR k-.lGUE
TEAMS WORRY
Fsrfeits Are Claimed Other
Grievances Are Talked.

Much trouble is in vogue among
Junior league teams, some claiming
forfeits and others claiming other
rights. 1t appears now that the
league, which has practically no con-
stitution or set of rules to govern
the games, has scheduled games
which are being postponed without
any pen. Ity. The st. Anthony Jun
Tors are feeling the sting of the want
of government for they claim they
are being kept from first place by
having games postponed.
Two weeks ago the Acmes can
celled a game and last Sunday the
topnotchers of the league failed to
make an appearance. The Saints
were on hand, johnny Hark1ns
claims, and should therefore be
given>a forfeit. The Princetons
claim that many of the players were
Ill and so they could not play, but no
lengthy notice cSuld(be given to the
St. Jrs. who therefore appeared on
the field. But no decision can be
made and probably none will be
made, so that it now appears that
the league Is only governed by games
played. Forfeits are a dead issue in
this league and SO the St. Anthony
Juniors will probably have to wait
until the other teams get ready to
meet them.

WILL THE NINE
Be BROKEN UP?
Gossip That Danes Are Not
Likely to Continue.

The most vital question before
sportdom today is, Twill the D. A.
A. @. nine disrupt" Upon this ques-
ton hinges the chances of several
other baseball aggregations in this
city. Manager Johnson, when seen
last night by a NEWS reporter and
asked this question, stated that he
did not know what would become of
his men. 1t appeared from the man
g in which the Danes spoke that
they were disguised over their show
ing in the last few games and they
would now quit. Another important
reason for their disruption is the
fact that Tommy Smith, the much
talked of third sacker, did not put
in an appearance Sunday with the
Danes. Smith was much in evidence
at Morgan, playing with the Marions.
He slammed out his weekly triple,
which the D. A. A. c. needed at New
Brunswick. Wilson and E~yerkuss
also have abandoned the ranks of
their former teammates, the former
having accepted a berth with the
Marions and the latter being absent
for unknown reasons.
No game has been booked for Sun
day by the Danes and if these boys
lay Off this week it is probable that
no other games will be played by
them this season. The Marions may
cop a few more of their players, or
some other nine may do some scout
ing for the stars of the D. A. A. c.
team. The Danes have been recog-
nized as a strong team until lately
and have victories owe such teams
as the South River nine and the
