} Arouse Civic Pride.
That the time is ripe for the forma-
ton of an athletic club in Newark,
which will include in its enrolment
many or the Jersey boys who have
earned athletic laurels for outside
cups, is the opinion OF many local
sport-lovers. At present many ath-
Ietes born and bred In Newark are
wearing the silks of New York clubs.
Apparently there is no good reason
why local club, IL properly
launched, should not prove a success
ana rank with the Irish american,
the New York A. G. or any of the
other big organizations in the coun-
Try. Throughout New Jersey some
or the best athletes In the country
DWELL and partial list is herewith

Records of Some Local Boys.
The growth and interest in amateur
track and field athletics in recent
wears has been phenomenal, and the
bows from the State Of New Jersey
have held their own with the best In
the world. When that great athletic
team which sailed on the Finland
little more than a year ago to carry
the Stars and Stripes to glorious
victory, sailed away to go to the
OLYMPIC games at Stockholm, carried
away with them the following great
New Jersey athletes: Platt ana Sen
Adams, the great jumpers; Hal He'll
land, the speedy sprinter; Jim Wen
dell and E. M. Pritchard, the phe-
nomenal hurdlers; j. ]. Reynolds, the
Marathon runner; Emil ]. Muller,
discus thrower; CASTOR Strobino ana
Louis Scott and Harry HALLOWEEN, the
famous distance runners.
All of these men did their best ana
worked hard for success, and al
though they were not all winners
they acquitted themselves In a
creditable manner. Wendell was
second to Kelly (American) in the llu-
metre hurdle in so 1-5 seconds. Platt
Adams won the standing high jump
with 5 feet lbs inches, and Ben
Adams was second with jump OF
feet 8 inches. Platt Adams was a
close second in the standing broad
jump and Ben Adams was third.
CASTOR Strobino covered himself with
glory by finishing third in the mara
thon race. Harry HalloWell finished
twelfth in the cross-country race,
with Louis Scott twenty-fourth. But
all of these athletes, aside from Scott
and Strobino, who competed Tor the
South Paterson A. c., wore the col
ors of New York clubs.
IL a live athletic club were or
ganized in this city, aside from the
names mentioned above, the follow
ing New Jersey athletes now mem
hers of Newark clubs, would be in
cluded in the list of those eligible to
ioin. Gus Braun and B. Terhune,
former Newark scholastic stars, now
members of the New York A. G.
Braun finished well up in the inter-
collegiate championships this year.
w. Maxfield, the giant schoolboy
shot-putter and -thrower, halls
from Bloomfield. He is a junior
metropolitan champion at discus and
interscholastic champion. A. Nc
.Donough, of South Orange, who COM
petes for the Xavier A. A., won
