AT HIGHLANDS
Because AIerts Not Allowed
to Play Sundays.

One of the most important and
interesting episodes in the history
of athletics In Atlantic Highlands is
now taking place because the Alerts
of that place are being kept from
playing Sunday baseball. The sport
is very popular there and the large
crowd of visitors are protesting
wildly that the game be continued.
The managers of the Alerts as well
as his team is raving over the &C
ton of authorities who have brought
about the measure.
So enraged have the boys gotten
that they are now trying to keep
the churches from taking up collec-
lions Sunday, the people from boat
ing on Sunday. and are attempting
to close all sports for the weekly
holiday. The whole town is inter
ested in the squabble and so great
is the spirit manifested by the ath-
letes and their followers, who great
ly outnumber the others, that 1t Is
probable the game will be continued
shortly.
The field which the Alerts for
merly used cannot be had for Sun
day baseball and as soon as a new
diamond Is marked out, no one
doubts but that the Atlantic High
lands crew will again be seen in
action,

SAINTS WITHOUT ANY
GAMES ON CALENDAR
Not Fault of The MANAGER But Desi-
rab|e Opponents Ba|k About the
Terms They Must Give.
HOW ABOUT THE OASIS AGAIN?

After completing one-half of the
season very successfully, the St.
Anthonys are practically now with
out one game booked for the rest OF
the season. The eason for this is
not that BILLY Maloney, the peer
less leader of this popular organi-
Eation, cannot book the dates, but
the real cause is that the teams who
wish to card the Saints do not
wish to comply with terms offered.
No one doubts but that the boys
from State street are class and so
one cannot blame them for holding
out. But 1t will be a very short
time when the Saints" will have
every date booked. So you teams,
who are anxious to get a whack at
these boys, better hustle and.get In
touch with Billy" or you will miss
your opportunity.
The T. A. C. are clamoring for a
game with the locals, and while
Manager Shea Of the Tottenv1lle
squad has all his games booked for
the season and those with good
mines, still he stated hat he will
card the st. Anthonys for n of his
dates. This probably means that

LADS OF STATE
STREET GROUND
SCORE IN MEET

Lads of the State street play
grounds were successful over the
King street crew of boys in the field
day games held on the King street
grounds yesterday afternoon. The
boys from School No. 2 were given
the decision In three events, were
beaten in one, and in another no re-
suit was announced. Supervisor
Eichbauer was greatly pleased with
the marked enthusiasm and spirit
which the young boys manifested in
all their sports and other things
which they INDUCED in yesterday.
Where there were no field day
games boys and girls were enjoying
the swings, girls were playing in the
sand brought for that purpose out
side of the school building and other
boys were playing the same games as
Supervisor E%ichbauer was conducting
in the field day series. There also
were a group Of about thirty girls
who were being taught folk dancing
by Miss Hawksley and these little
tots surely did seem to enjoy their
lessons. The dancing was, of course,
held in the school building. Several
of the assistants were on hand help
ing Supervisor Eichbauer In his
work.
In the contests scheduled as the
field day games between the State
street and King street branches there

PRINCETONS TO
MEET CL0VERS
Junior League Battle on the
Pardes Diamond.

Ray Howell will match his Prince
tons against the Clovers in a regular
Junior league battle Sunday on the
c. Pardee diamond. The Princetons
r the leaders in the league and the
Clovers will do their utmost to bring
the topnotchers from their lofty PIN
nacle. This game means much to
the Princetons for a win will put
them nearly out of striking distance,
whereas a loss will put them on an
equal basis with their close rivals,
the st. Anthony Juniors, who r 60
ing at a fast clip these days.
Eddy" Flynn, the boy who is con
sidered by many the best twlrler in
the Junior organization, is pitching
for the Saints and the Princetons
realize that they will have to beat
every other team If they want to
scinch the pennant. HowelIs nine
know that there won't be many tai
lies gathered of Flynn's delivery and
this means that they will have to
keep the batters Of the Saints from
touching the ball In order to win.
The Clovers will try to spring a sur
prise on fandom and trim the Prince
tons, in which case it would look bad
for the "Princies." However, we
will sit back in our easy rockers
until the war cry is announced.

PRACT|CING FOR
COMING EVENTS
"Duq" Couden and Luke
Compton Are in Trim.

Douglas Couden and Louis Comp
ton, the best high jumpers in Mid
dlesex county and the equal of any
New Jersey %springers, are training
together for the Columbian meet in
Woodbridge July 20. These two
boys brought their apparatus for
jumping down to Bayard's Beach and
every night the lanky athletes can
be seer in action there.
Luke" and Spike" are not try
they hold, but are just getting in
trim. Tuesday evening the Perth
Amboy high school lad and the Exc
ter star decided to top the bar at five
feet and four inches. After several
attempts the two athletes raised the
bar to the ga mark and both cleared
it easily. Luke and Dutch" re-
port themselves in fine condition and
the dope is that they look good for
places in the jump. Not much is
known of Luke" Compton in these
parts as his activities have been con-
fined to Exeter meets. But we know
he cleared the bar at five feet nine
and three quarter inches and is go
Ing at about that rate at present.
Couden has been In the limelight
throughout the year and every sport
in this burg knows that this boy who
supported crimson and white colors
last year is in the class of the best
New Jersey has. OF course, we will
have to forget Plat Adams, of New
ark, when we make this statement.
But Platt will not be at the Column
bian meet and so 1t looks like a fight
between Couden and Compton for
first place.

WILL LEADERS
REMAIN IDLE
Question About Saints and
FrankIins for Sunday.

Will the st. Anthonys and Frank
Inns lie idle Sunday? That is the
question to be answered to local
fandom and 1t is up to Manager
Billy Maloney and Happy APP
plegate the respective leaders OF the
Saints" and Franks" to come
across with q satisfactory reply. II
these two mines cannot satisfactorily
arrange for a match with outside
teams, why not hook up together!
But this argument seems unlikely
to be carried out as neither the
Saints or Frahklins appear will
ing to play each other until the
21st Of July, the scheduled date.
Manager Lewis Bradford, Of the
Roosevelt nine issued a challenge
to the F%ranklins, St. Anthonys or
Marions. The first two named teams
claim that the guarantee offered
by the Roosevelt nine does not a r
rant the booking of the date with
that aggregation. The difference be-
tween Happy" A~pplegate's bunch
and the boys from up h line Is
about $500, SO just imagine fans,
the managers cannot come to An
agreement over such a small sum.
The Franklins are a good attrnc-
ton and We feel certain that Brad
ford ought to clinch arrangements
Immediately.
The st. Anthonys. who are with
out doubt one of the best mines in
the county are holding out for more
money than the Franklins and 30 1t

cannot be made between these two
rival clubs, the Saints" and Roose-
valts, Just yet. The Roosevelt man
'agement will probably get In touch
with local managers today. A game
will no doubt be arranged as 1t does
lot seem probable that Brady"
will let the Frankiins go on account
of a few paltry iron men.

he will notify one Of the teams al
ready booked to cancel a game.
Fandom over on the island want to
see their favorites triumph owe
K%insulla and his band of warriors
who were the first local team to
trim them and also the first nine
which recorded victory against the
mighty Romer, the star port hand
singer Of these parts. July 81 is
booked with the Frankl1ns, as one
Of the five games series. Then the
Huguenot nine will also seek re-
venge and all along the line, the
teams who were defeated by the
locals will want another chance,
which means that the dates will not
be open very long.
However. there Is one team which
sports ~hereabouts want the bunch
captained by pete" Toolin to beat
and that Is the Oasis crowd from
the Highlands. The locals were
minced and sliced when they trav-
eled to that summer resort several
Sundays ago, but no one here who
has followed up the Saints will
believe that the Oasis can duplicate
the feat. What say ye, managers?

Fish Tales.

A few weeks ago the f1uke started
to come into Keansburg and they
were caught from the steamboat
pier, but they stopped biting sudden
ly and now they have disappeared
entirely. There seems to be no rea-
son for it, but it is SO just the anne
The Hornich family are noted fisher
men and when they can't get fluke
1t Is because there are none to get.
AS we look over the records of
catches Of weakfsh made last year
about this time we find that twenty
i've fish was an average catch for
the Morgan powerboats. There has
been a great falling off on that
amount this year. For instance, DR..
Robinson and several members Of
the Tuesday Club, Of Newark, f,shed
the bay Tuesday and the best they
could do was three weak1sh. We
don't wonder at the small catches
when we see the pollution pouring
into Staten Island sound, all of which
empties into Raritan bay and settles
on the feeding grounds.
HOLSTERS are about. done for and in
another week the fishermen will lift
their pots and put thep<Ashore until
the fall. The lobster fishermen then
start to fish for the market, but the
outlook for making money at that
business Is very poor just now.

BIG CATCH OF
FISH IS MADE
100 Bushels Caught Yester-
day at Soldiers Beach.

One of the largest hauls yet re-
corded in these parts and no doubt
the biggest made this season was
the proud catch of fishermen near
Soldiers Beach yesterday afternoon.
1t was reported by the fortunate
fishermen that they picked up about
n hundred bushels of fish in their
net after allowing it twenty-five min
utes in the water.
When the big net vas hauled in
the many fish turtled and squirmed
in an effort to get out of 1t, which
appeared like iron bars to a pris-
-oner, but of course, the water birds
were helpless. The fishing these
days has been poor and the work
of the fishermen yesterday will no
doubt be a great surprise to the
many unfortunate one who have
a~nxiously searched the waters In
different parts of the Raritan with
out any results. These men will
probably now awaken and make a
thorough investigation of affairs to
see whether they cannot repeat the
feat performed yesterday.
But let me whisper to you fish
ermen, these catches are not made
daily. The fortunate ones who made
the haul will probably receive sacks
of letters asking what kind Of bait
was used. Whether or not they will
tell is not known. However, one
thing is certain, yesterdays catch
means there'll be plenty of boats
around these waters to try their
luck.

were twenty athletes, ten for each
team. There were many more lads
ready to take part in the games, but
Mr.. Eichbauer believed it best to
have the same crew of each school
go throughout all the events. The
No. 2 school boys were larger and
appeared stronger, thus accounting
for their victories, but the little
boys from King street made a noble
stand and showed gameness through
out the meet. The other boys who
were not in the events often stood On
the side lines and cheered on their
respective fayorites. Kid Flynn,
of the State street, bunch, IA the
little star for his crew.
A very close race was held after
the field games while it was raining
and despite the downpour the lads
travelled at a fast clip while they
were cheered on by all the little
spectators. Besides the field day
games, rope climbing, swinging.
broad jumping, racing, and other
sports were held.

WRESTLING HAS
CEASED TO BE
ACTIVE SPORT

Activity in wrestling has again
ceased. The bunch of enthusiasts
who followed up this sport for a
time at the d. A. A. C. make no
appearances any more and the spors
it waning. But this sport will be
taken up next year SO that real tur-
naments will be held and the things
that will insure the success and the
continuance of this branch of ath-
letics is the fact that there will be
two clubs which will further this
sport among their members. Here
t~ofore, the d. A. A. c. was the only
organization which held wrestling
bouts, but next year, the A. B. C.
club, a society formed of young
men who have been prominent in
athletic circles, will take up wrest-
ling and competition will be held be-
tween the Danes" and the A. B. c..
members.
One of the prides which the A. B..

c. club has is Sophus Greisen.
"Soph" is about the best active
wrestler of his weight in this city.
He weighs about 1876 pounds and has
downed many of his own class in
this city. He was successful over
Byrne Toolan, John Anderson,
Thomas Olesen and others who have
shown promise In wrestling. His
bout with Toolan was the closest of
all, although Grelsen's knowledge
of the game showed that he was the
superior. "Soph' also was promi-
nent at Pratt's Institute last year in
wrestling. Many of his school mates
were downed by the local boy. His
influence will be exerted upon all
the members of the A. B. C, club
to interest them in this healthy
sport and it is likely that there will
be some big doings if a tournament
