SUED FOR $4,000.
AIger Hoagtand, of Rockaway, Charged
With Breach of Promise.

WIFI DTSdCn OF FTofHisc.
Alger Muir Hoagland, of Rockaway

the ballroom of the Hotel St. Regis
to Miss Sophia Elsie Mackenzie, OF
New York, was served after the we'd
ding with papers in a suit for $10,-
900 damages for breach of PROMISE
The complainant in the suit is Miss
Mary |. Peer, of Dover. She alleges
in her complaint that in April, 1911
Hoagland promised to marry her un.
der any and all conditions, and that
she relied on his promise. 1t wasn't
until last May, she says, that she
learned from Hoagland that he
wouldn't marry her. He told her then
according to her complaint, that he
wouldn't marry her and never intend
ed to do so. She learned later that
he was engaged to the Miss Mackenzie
whom he married Thursday night.
Hoagland is the son of the late
Mahlon Hoagland. of Rockaway. His
mother lives on Hoagland avenue,
Rockaway.
Hoagland's lawyer, James Gillin, OF
8 Rector street, New York, says that
the only apparent purpose of the suit
is to gain publicity, as it was brought
the day following Mr.. Hoagland's wed
ding in state in which neither party
was resident.
Miss Peers lawyer said that he
didn't know when he filed the suit
that the marriage between Mr.. Hoag-
land and Miss Mackenzie had taken
place.

MORRISTOWN SCHOOL
WINS FIRST GAME
High School Defeated by Five
to Three Score.

The first baseball game of the sea-
son was played at Morristown School
Saturday afternoon when the prep"
school boys had the Morristown high
school team as contenders. Morris
town School won by score of five
to three The excellent pitching. of
Devitalis helped his team materially
while Murray, for the high school,
pitched we'll.
The high school started off the
game with tally, singles by Green
berger, Murray and Hurst doing the
trick. In the fourth Morristown
School got busy and chalked up two
runs. Slagle hit for two bases, Bis
sell famed, A. Hepburn got life on
Butera's poor throw of his grounder,
Harris fouled to Clarke but Slagle
tailed on Clark's tumble of j. Hey
burns poke.
With one down in the seventh Nor
ristown School batted in three more
runs. Harris and j. Hepburn both
singled and pulled double steal. w.
Devitalis pasted a two-bagger over
the outfielders' heads scoring his
predecessors on the bases. Clough
was an easy out, Butera to Green
berger but G. Devitalis came through
Win crack to left field that Babbitt
misjudged and it went for two-bag-
ger, scoring his brother Hargreaves
ended the inning by rolling to Den
man.
The high school boys started rally
in the eighth, After Greenberger sue
cumbed to Devitalis' offerings Book
oven got life on j. Heyburn's erorr.
Butera pasted out clean single and
stole second. Murray then picked
out his favorite war club, took one
hefty swing and the ball wizzed to
the outfield for two-bagger, scoring
Bockoven and Butera. But that ended
the scoring for Denman, who ran for
Murray, was struck by Hurst's poke
through short and was out while
Clarke retired by the strike-out route.
That boy Murray certainly looks
good while his battery-partner, Book
oven, gave him excellent support.
Murray and Greenberger led in the
hitting for the high school, each get
ting two safeties. Devitalis had all
his curves breaking nicely and with
his brother as catcher should prove

EXPECT BIG CROWD AT
 ELKS-POLICE. BALL GAME

The Elks-Police baseball game scheduled to take place at Sea Breeze Wednesday afternoon in connection with the Elks day celebration, is ex- pected to prove the big noise in local baseball circles and has all the local dyed-in-the-wool fans talking about it. These two hines are rivals of old, and have had many interesting en- counters, so that the desire ito score a victory is keen with each of them. According to 'fSarg'' O'Leary, the val iant leader of the club wielders, there will be nothing to it but his boys, while Frank Lalley, the erstwhile High School star, who captains the Elks' team, claims a sure win for the antlered tribe. Both aggregations have diligently practiced for this con- test, and a satisfying exhibition is as- sured. It will be- the initial debut of the Cops this season, and a line on their chances with the New Haven police team, whom they will meet soon, will be had. While, the Elks have appeared out of towny this will be their first local appearance. Kelly and Coughlin will undoubtedly be the battery for the; police, while Burdick and Donnelly will essay the same du- ties for the Elks' bunch.

M'ARTHUR WHO WON MARATHON
 IS POLICEMAN

Stockholm, July 15-When the Olym- pie games were resumed today the American contingent was chiefly in- l terested in the outcome of the decath- lon, the all around competition in
 which James Thorpe, the Carlisle h. dian, was leading with a slight mar gin, and in the 1,600 metre team race in which the United States contestants met representative of England, France and Hungary. Although they have first honors securely in their grasp, the managers of the American tIleteS are anxious to win every sin gle point possible so that the suprem- acy of the American methods may be unquestioned
 Naturally, talk about the marathon overshadowed all else There was no disposition anywhere to depreciate Kennedy Kane McArthur, the big Irishman who, in the colors of South Africa, won the race. His perform ance was excellent. He is a, police man of Petchefstrom and has had the idea for four years that he was of marathon class. He wanted to come to London in 1908 but the committee said he was too big for distance rum ner and refused to pay his expenses. The best man in the race, so far as physical condition was concerned, was John J. Gallagher, the Yale boy who finished 8th. His lack of experience kept him so far back that when it came to the finish although running splendidly he had too much ground to recover and was unequal to the task. Strobino, the South Paterson; N. J., youth who finished third, was in bet ter shape physically at the finish than the two men who came home ahead of him.
 The feat Of qualifying 10 of the first 20 men to finish in the race was con sidered remarkable, and Mike Murphy, the veteran American trainer, has been overwhelmed with congratula- tions from every side. He. was de- lighted today and rubbed it in'' on

eyes. to walk. Every one of our men has a story to tell of losing his head. McArthur passed, on his return to- wards the stadium, frothing at the mouth like a mad dog. And McArthur is used to running in the heat Stro- bino was $55O machine apprentice at Trenton but deserves all the credit given him.
 If the American runners had not been in wonderful condition when they started they would be in an awful mess today. The fact that 10 Ameri- cans finished among the first r, next to the two South African winners, shows the American determination that has characterized our victories. Heffron, who pushed Dorando to his desperate effort that awfully hot day in London, was a South African, the men who won Sunday were. South Africans and, in any marathon run under "a baking sun, southern athletes, used to hrunnfng in the heat will sal- ways show best.
 In my opinion, it is a great mistake to run marathons in the heat of the day. They should be. run in the cool of the evening. Ability to run in the heat is no thorough test of an athlete. That is brutal enough, as Sunday showed, without imposing the handicapS.

IN MAJOR LEAGUES

The difference between class and whatever it is that Boston represents in the National League was never bet ter demonstrated than recently when the Cubs scored twice as many runs as the Braves on slightly more than half the same number of hits. Bos- ton jolted Cheney for twelve safeties, including one double, but had a terri ble time scoring two runs. The Cubs found it comparatively easy to count four tallies on seven blows.
 It is in this department, base-s SCOT ing, that the Cubs and Giants have a big edge on all their rivals. The Giants will come closer than any club in either league to scoring a run to a hit; a search of the records will show that their run total has exceeded the hit total oftener than that of any oth- CT club. But the Cubs are not far be- hind in this respect.
 The Pirates will outpitch, outfeld and come close to outhitting either of them, but have not the same knack of getting men around the bases. All ball club is the little extra speed that is found in the makeup of the Me GraW and Chance machines,
 Washington has lost great catcher Henry was hit on the knee last week and his kneecap so badly dama ged that he may be out of the game for a couple of weeks. Luckily Griffith has Ainsmith and Williams to replace the battered Henry, The Giants alone, of all the clubs in the two big leagues, are as well supplied with star catchers as their former White Sox-Yankee- Reds manager.
 Charley Faust had made a. lot of copy for hard-pressed baseball writers but there is a growing T1unch that the Kansas nut will make all kinds of trouble for some one, probably John McGraw, if he isn't run into an asy- lum and kept there indefinitely.
 Faust was fine business for a while, but he is beginning now to get on baseballs most sensitive nerve. Dan OLeary. of Chicago, has been dole fully predicting for almost a year that sooner or later > Flausfs will fly completely off the handle and take a pot shot at McGraw. The Giants

DICK TUCKEY DOWNS HOLYOKE
 BY TIMELY HIT
(BY Wagnerl

You see it was raining pretty hard and Dick Tuckey was sick of staying out there in the wet. so he said to the assembled multitude. 'If nobody elsell win this here ball game I'll do it my self" Thereupon stepping lightly to the platter he punched a safe blow to right field and Buck Venable scamp cred home with the run that beat Holyoke yesterday by 4 to B..
 ] Tuckey was a wolf on the defense as well as zebra on the attack. He held Holyoke to six hits, five of which were, punched in, the sixth and seventh. Until the sixth. he did not. allow safety. The wet ball hampered the pitchers somewhat but Gipe, the Hol- yoke heaver, suffered more than his rival. He distributed five free tic kets. Bridgeport couldn't do much. with Gipe, six hits being the extent of the damage. Loose support gave the Mechanics chances to score two runs.
