Jersey Teams Should Surely !.
Finish Some Higher This Season

as their representatives a team of
youngsters full of vim and energy and
good baseball ability, even though it
has not been developed and polished
off to the acme of perfection. Larry
has already gained the confidence of
the Jersey City fans for his ability
as a leader, and Larry's experienced
hand at the helm OF such a dashing
combination will have the steadying
effect that will make Jersey City dan
gerous to every team in the league.
The Pests have an infield of young
sters in Purtell, Roach, Breen and
Agler that will cut down many hits;
an outield in Deininger, Wheeler and
Barrows that should play a fair game
in both departments. Barrows is a
youngster whose p~enchant for pinch
hits and long wallops placed him in
great demand.
The Skeeters are put up for speed,
speed and more speed. Their pitching
staff is an unknown quantity and quail
ity. Justis is the only one of last
years regulars whose name is feared
and revered by International League
batters. but the club has new pitchers
in Names, McHale and Doescher. who
pitched part of last season, but was
not then at his best.
Both of the Jersey teams should be
a credit to New Jersey instead of a
discredit this year.

JUST MISSED TRIP

Having Escaped That, Eddie Figures Dangers of Following
Pace" viii Mean Nothing TO Hin and He Starts

After a successful racing tour Of
Europe, Eddie Root. the American
cyclist, is home again. The cyclist is
shaking hands with himself today for
he and his wife and little daughter
might have been passengers on the lost
Titanic. The Roots were to have come
over on the Inflated vessel, but for no
particular reason Mrs. Root suddenly
decided that she would prefer another
line. and the whimsical fancy of his
spouse saved them from the terrible
disaster.
Root was very glad to get back to
America, even though he was very sue
eessful in Europe. He went through
three six-day races and finished no
worse than third in any Of them. He
won the Brussels ace with Freddy
Hill and he was third in both of the
Berlin races. Root says the six-day

but was a dismal failure, and the round
was all in favor of Loughery.
But the next round was different.
Kurtz came from his corner and sent
a left smash to the face. Loughery
tried a few seconds of fighting at long
range and found he was not in it. He
then settled down and used his battling
tactics, which were his mainstay.
Kurtz was now more alert and waded
in, using the same methods. The next
two rounds we're about the same, but
in the sixth Kurtz fought Loughery off
his feet. The pace was so fast that
the Philadelphia lad was compelled
to cover up and really forgot that he
was AN in1ghter. Kurtz was entitled
to the decision.

Frank Loughery, of Philadelphia,
gave Young Kurtz one of the hardest
fights in his career in the main six
|round bout at the opening show of the
Eleventh Ward Athletic Club last
night. Kurtz was to have met Mike

that of Kurtz's original opponent, as

Both men started to feel out the other

break the men, but as they had agreed
to fight and protect themselves at all

opening battle of the season with the
Stevens Prep School nine at Acad-

by the score of 10 to Z. 1t was Pitcher
Haughton's first game with the local

innings was the cause of his initial
downfall. Considering the fact that
Academy is practically a newly or
