MANAGER HAS
A STATEMENT
7. A. c. Official Says Mistake
Was Made All Around.

Following the comment Of many,
Manager Cornelius Shea, of the Tot
tenVille A. c., sem a communication
as follows:
Sporting Editor NEWS:
Dear Sir:
"Since there has been so
much controversy over the unfortun-
ate accident to Walter Yenk recently
at the T. A. G. grounds. l deem it adj
visable to make a statement regard
ing the M When Yenk had his
thumb injured | was first to give first
aid, and / told him at the time that
l did not think he would be able to
play ball the following day. He de-
clared that he would be all right by
that time, and after the physician
looked after the wound he took a
seat OF the grandstand and watched
the game. When the game was over
he came to me while l was talking to
a gentleman, who had come down
with the visiting team, and Yenk
asked me for his fare. / gave him
twenty cents, which was all the
change ] had in my pocket, and told
him to blow himself to a soda. He
laughingly went on, saying as he did
SO "In be On the job next Saturday;
II I'm not able to play I'll let you
know before that time"
But instead OF letting me know,
he saw fit to Knock met, as man
ager to one OF the r. A. c. ball play
ers. He said / had a nerve to Of
fer him twenty cents in payment for
the injury he had received, and
something more in the same vein.
This was after he found he would
not be able to play for a while. He
also saw to it that the twenty cents
part of it got into the newspapers.
But he did not send me word that he
would be unable to play ball the next
Saturday. He did not come to Tot
tenyille and show up at the club
house, but chose to abr his grievance
to those he met in Perth Amboy.
"Yenk at the time was a full
fledged member of the T. A. c., and
is now. He, living in Perth Amboy,
could not expect the manager to come
to him, after having given no mott
fication of his condition. But Charles
Hilker, vice-president of the club, did
go to him, and he offered to see to
it that the doctors bill would be paid
by the club. Yenk declined this as
s~istance, stating that his lodge would
pay the bill.
I'm my estimation he has made a
mistake all around. When l learned
that his injury prevented him from
playing ball the following day / talk
ed with several members of the club,
and they were all willing to chip in
and do something. But Yenk told
Hilker he didn't want anything, so
what is the trouble, anyhow / have
written him today, and will await his
reply with no little interest. AS far
as his statement that he is done with
the r. A. G. is concerned, I am not
worrying in the least. / have simply
taken him at his word, and have so
written him.
Sincerely hoping that he will soon
recover and be able to play ball, and
that you will find space for this in
the columns of your esteemed paper,
/ remain,
Very truly,
CORNELIUS SHEA"

COUDEN GOING
TO UNION HILL
To Compete In A. A. U.
Championship Labor Day.

Douglas Grant Couden, better
known as Spike" Dutch or
Dug" has changed his plans for
Labor Day and will not compete in
the running high jump at the events
in Dongan Hills. Couden will take
his war toys to Union Hill on Labor
Day, where he will compete in the
A. A. U. championship of the state
in the running high jump.
For the benefit of many who do
not understand the situation, we will
explain why Couden is allowed to
compete as a New Jersey athlete and
still be a resident of New York.
When Spike came into sports in
this vicinity, he hailed here from
Bayonne, where he was a member
of the Jersey Harriers. He Is a
member of the A. A. u. under the
colors of the Jersey Harriers and this
accounts for his competing for New
Jersey champ" honors.

HAS
WAR BREWING
Musical Nine Hot Under
Coller--Issue $25 Def.

There's war brewing in the calm
air at Sewaren where the Playful
Musical Nine of Boynton Beach" and
the Sewaren A. C. dwell. 1t appears
that the Boynton Beach team wanted
to play some of their home town
boys and were given the impression
that the Sewaren A. C. were to play
them. After the game was played
and won by the musical crew by the
lop sided score Of 13-1. and the an
nouncement made In these columns
of the victory, the Sewaren A. C.
took exception.
The Boynton Beach crew do not be-
lieve the Sewaren boys should have
made such a big "holler" and are
giving their opinion in the following
epistle, which was given to the
sporting whittier: (Before you breathe
again, there's twenty-five bones in
the argument already.)
1.-THE Playful Musical Nine Of
Boynton Beach, learn, with great
regret that the aggregation played
with last Sunday were not the real
Sewaren A. c., but some outlaw club
from Grab Beach Too bad we were
oohll loI CidSS anu Sttl1B otNtIdl
familiar faces, we were led to be-
lieye we were in right; certainly the
team we met were good sports and
we are glad to have met them.
but to return to class, If the real
SeWaren A. c., provided 1t is COM
posed of Sewaren players, Grab
Beach or the Boulevards, wish to
show to the baseball world In this
vicinity that they are really one OF
the best teams in the county, the
Playful Musical Nine would like to
toss out a comedy with them on Sep
TENDER 1 and would be pleased to
suggest hat they are willing to back
their joke with about twenty dol
lars, winner take all. The Sewaren
team will please communicate with
Carl Pfeiffer, advance man."

ARE
AFTER SCALPS
lroquois to Play Saturday
Games From Now On.

He's going after the big mes now!
Big Chief Philip Payne. the magnate
Of the ~Iroquois, dropped around this
morning to tell the sporting editor
that his squad are now open to play
Saturday as well as Sunday. Any big
team that wants an attraction for a
reasonable guarantee may book the
1roquois by writing to P. P. 522 Am
boy avenue. Some of the teams which
the "Injun" chief wants among his
scalps are: the Athletics, of South
Amboy, the Tottenville, A.. c., the
like calibre. And the Iroquois have
a little strength in their argument
because they have among their wins,
two against the Huguenot baseball
nse and a ~walloping against the T.
A. G. Reserves.
The Redskins" are confident that
they can put up a good exhibition
against the senior squads, who are
tearing up things just at present.
There's no doubt, after the lacing
handed out to the Oaks, of this city,
the Sheridans, of South Amboy, and
other juniors of these parts that they
are out of the junior class. Among
the victories Of the Redskins have
in their camp 7 two against the
Huguenot baseball nine. The Totem
vile A. C. has given this squad two
games alseady, SO why not offer the
"Injuns" a battle? Philip Payne also
wishes to point out that his men wal
Hoped the T. A. G.. Reserves, 17-6,
showing that they were entirely out
of the class of the Reserves and as
the T. A. c. is the next step above
the Reserves, 1t Is believed that the
"Injuns" should be given a date with
the T. A. O. nine. II Romer would
be pitching for Tottenyille, the Iro-
quois know they would have no show
but with Robedee on the slab, all the
Redskins" are sounding the war
cry. There are no reasons given for
the Iroquois' desire to meet the other
teams mentioned before, except that
Redskins believe they are in their
class.
Earl Mullins, the slab artist, who
has been on the hospital list OF the
Iroquois for several weeks is now in
good shape and ready to go on the
mound. With Mullins and Ritter In
the hurdng department, the team
would be as strong Saturday as on
Sunday.

One of the most important moves
of the basketball sphere in this city
was made Monday night at a meet
ting of the Y. M. H. A. Athletic
League In New York, by DR.. Bernard
Feldman, of this city. The local
branch was entered in the basketball
league and will take active part in
other branches of athletics through
out the year. The games will be
played on the courts Of the other
teams and on the Auditorium court
OF this city, according to the present
plan. The matches will not be
staged here on Saturday or Friday
night but some special night may be
procured by the Y. M. H. A.
1t is the intention of the league
magnates to have both a junior and
senior league under n organiza-
ton to be governed by the same Of
officials. A committee Of five was
appointed to draw up rules, compile
a schedule, and report on other mat
ters at the next meeting. DR.. Field
man, of the local branch was ap-
pointed as one OF the committee.
The locals will have entries in both
the senior and junior Y. M. II. A.

HAVE DECIDED
NOT TO CLASH
Saints and FrankIins Leave
City Honors Unsettled.

The saddeSt tale of the season in
sports comes in the announcement
that the Franklin baseball nine will
not meet the Saint Anthonys again
this season. These two aggregations
have met twice and are ever on the
series. Manager Happy" A%pplegate
has a good reason for his alleged &C
ton, while Manager O'Hara seems 30
be right in some respects, too.
Originally the Franklins and the
Saints" were to meet Sunday. After
the game was arranged, Marty"
learned that he could get a game
with the Alaskas, of West New Brigh-
ton for Sunday. Every follower of
the State street boys has been Ak
ious to see the Staten Island crew
and their favorites hook up in a bat
tie. Accordingly when O'Hara was
told that the Alaskas could only Of
fer August % for an open date, he
Immediately clinched arrangements
and notified Happy" hat the Frank
lin-Saint battle was off for the time
being. When O'Hara and Apple"
met the Franklin magnate did not
are to arrange another date. He
gave as his excuse in a communica-
ton to the NEWS, that the Frank
Inns were in equal standing with
the st. Anthonys and any treatment,
such as cancellation of a game to
book another team, was a raw deal.
He wanted it to be known that his
men were not obliged to suffer such
treatment from the st. Anthonys.
Therefore, apple warned, that if
the date was not kept, the Franklins
would not meet the Saint Anthonys
again this season. And 1t now ap-
pears that Apple" meant what he
said as his players feel the same
way as he does about the matter.
Harry Apologize, the sterling
twirler of the crew voiced his opin-
ion along the sentiments expressed
by Happy" in strong terms. One
player wanted to post a s. bet that
the Franklins would not play the
st. Anthonys again.
How the city championship will be
decided now is a puzzle.
