When sheep were first introduced into Cornwall. England. flock which had strayed from the uplands on to Gwithian sands were caught there by the tide and ultimately carried into St- Ives bay during the night There the
 floating flock was observed from the St Ives fishing boats. whose crews aever having seen sheep, took them for some new kind of fish and did their best to secure them both by hooks and lines and by netting. Those they SC cured they brought home triumphsntly next morning as catch to which even pilchards were as nothing.

Greatest Eastern Athletic Stars WI
StriUe for Medals at Big Indoor Meet

Hal Holland, the local boy, is one
of the most prominent sprinters who
will participate in the short-distanee
events.
The one-mile handicap run should
prove a cracker-jack affair, with such
a classy field of contenders at Jim
R~osenberger, Abel Kiviat. Jack Monu-
ment, T.. G. Bellars and a score OF
others. Mel Sheppard and Harry Gis-
sing have entered this event, as we'll
as others of ability.
One of the big events from a local
standpoint will be the Essex county
five-mile championship. closed to Essex
county clubs. The old rivalry between
local clubs will be famed into a fame
again when barriers representing the
st. COLUMBIA G.. c., the Tabs, Belleville
c. C., First Regiment and the Antler
Civic Club viii compete. Mike DeVa-
ney will run unattached in this event.
The 75-yard dash brings out a strong
field. Such anne as Frey. Eller. Bo-
han, Holland, Heating, Rosenberger
give an mixing of the keen competi-
ton that should result.
In the 300-yard dash Eller and Shep-
pard will be among the best known.
There will also be n three-cornered
match between Clarke, Heating and
Holland, which is causing a great deal
of speculation. In the recent A. A. L.
championships Holland was handi-
for breaking and lost two yards.
Clarke nosed him out at the tape.

Stealing Third Base Not So
Difficult as 1t Appears

II have wondered why third isn't
stolen o%ftener,'' said Moriarty. Il be-
lieve 1t is easier than to steal second.
Things in its favor are that the
pitcher doesn't keep you nailed to the
bag as when you're on first.
The reason for not stealing may be
that runners fear that shor throw
from the plate to third and because
they can score from second on any
sort of a hit, anyway. But the timely
hit doesn't always come and II on third
you can score on a sacrifice fly.
A a matter Of fact II takes but
a fraction of a second longer for the
ball to travel to second than to third
and this is overcome by the ability Of
the batter to interfere with the
catcher's vision when throwing to
third. It's beyond me 10 explain why
third is not stolen oftener."

important Local Event Is the
Five=mile Essex County
Title Run.

If the large list of entries can be
taken as a criterion, the annual indoo
athletic meet of the Father Mathew
T. A. b. Society. to be held at the
First Regiment armory Wednesday
night, will be an unqualified success.
Practically all of the well-known
athletic stars and record holders In the
East have entered the various events.
twelve in number, and all of the big
New York clubs, as well as local or
CARNATIONS between which keen rivalry
exists, will be represented.
1t will be an excellent opportunity
for sport lovers to get a line on many
of Uncle Sans athletes who will COM
pete in the big Olympic games at
Stockholm. In almost every event
some record-holder. former record
holder, or athlete of national promi-
nence has been entered. The list OF
entries far exceeds any of previous
years.
The h-American A. G., the Xavier
A. A., of New York; the Dominican
Lyceum and the McCadden Lyceum
athletic organizations, of New York,
will send over nearly every man eligi-
BILE to compete.

M'CINNITY
RETURNS and
STARTS WORK
Consideration of Contracts and
Other Matters Taken
Up Today.

Back at his desk today, after a three
weeks stay at his home, in McAlester,
Okla, Joe McGinnity. manager of the
Newark Club, found plenty to occupy
his attention. First of I'll he waded
hip-deep into a wad of contracts which
Vice-President George L. Solomon and
Secretary Charles Mathison had pro-
pared.
1t is necessary for the president of
the club. according to baseball law, to
affix his signature to each contract,
and his task to see that those descrv-
ing boosts are looked after fttingly.
besides making other specifications to
suit various cases.
One of the Tigers who will probably
come In for a big boost will be Bob
Fisher. who hibernates at Chattanooga.
Tenn. Bob played n bang-up, smash
ing, dashing game for the Bengals dur
ing the last half Of the season, and he
will be treated properly.
The Oklahoma Tiger boss was stayed
and delayed by the snow-storm. which
swept the Eastern section of the coun-
try. just twenty-four hours. He was
due in Newark Saturday at 1:20 o'clock
but did not heave-to until noon yes
terday. He had little to say today, ex.
cept that he enjoyed his vacation and
hated to leave his home town.
ut will take just about a week fol
me to catch up on all of the news I've
lost during the last three weeks sait

McCdfferty to
Manage Royals
Firm Denial That He viii Be
DepOsed Comes from
Montreal.

From Montreal comes a firm deniel
that anyone but Eddie MoCafferty will
pilot the Montreal Club this year. Nc
Cafferty is now in the South, making
arrangements for a training camp for
the Royals.
The situation at Montreal is said to
be very acute. Owner Sam Lichten-
helm, who has a controlling interest in
the club, is opposed by the biggest
newspaper in Montreal, which has q
circulation of over 100, 900, and a strong
feeling against Lichtenhein has beer
created.
An attempt was made to buy out Sam
recently, but he refused to sell. The
newspaper in question was behind the
deal. Li~chtenhein was PANIED unmer-
cifully for trying to trade Chick Gan
dill. though 1T looked as if he were get
ting the better of the deal at that.
