tie He knew the physique of man
very thoroughly and he always ad-
vocated athletics and did yeoman
services in helping his eliminates to
perfect themselves in their chosen
sport AS an authority on gymnastic
work Mr.. Ryan had few superiors and
he always took keen delight in per
fecting the young men in that branch
of sport at the Institute. He was
quick to perceive ability and he was
to develop it, so his success
was naturally widespread.

The Institutes always refer with
much pride to their oarsmen In the
days gone by, and to Mr.. Ryan much
credit is given for not only the success
of the oarsmen, but for the institution
of rowing in the organization. Way
back in 1878 when the Institute Boat
Club was organized. Mr.. Ryan was
one of the most active men in push
ing the sport. At so years of age he
looks back with much pride at the
work accomplished, and he is looking
forward with much pleasure to June
%, when his birthday anniversary will
be celebrated at the Institute.

Although 1t looks very much as if
Newark has the best baseball team
in its history this season, the patron
age has been far from fiattering. On
week days rarely more than 1000
and sometimes less than 1900 fans
turn out to see the games. On Sat
urday the attendance is more like it,
about $500 being the count, but on
Sunday the one big day when the
club expects to get the big money,
the crowd rarely numbers much
over the 5000 mark. With a cham
pionship probability and the team
playing about as clever a game as
the most exacting could desire, con-

credit and more attention should be
bestowed upon Manager Smith and
his able teammates. When the team
is down-in the rut-the cry is al
ways severe and the criticism is
very open and painful; but now that
the fans have something to cheer for
there surely should be some mon
ster turnouts, especially on a Sun
day. A 10000 crowd paying homage
to a victorious team is not asking
too much, when you come to realize
that the occasions are few and far
between when fortune is so kind to
give you a winner
C
The prospects of Newark winning
pennant has never before been so
rosy The team, it is generally ad-
mitted. is the best in the league, in
that it is so evenly balanced and
without any particular stars. The
handling of the team is also a matter
for much praise, and Harry Smith
has already shown his ability as a
manager, and his efforts are sure to
be appreciated in a most substantial
way. Already you can hear the fans
chatting about something for
Harry" and the leader of the Tigers
is certain to be made a very happy
man if he pulls through a winner,
which, from this distance looks like
moral certainty.
G
The Tigers as constituted now are
the strongest team in the league.
They have had their hard luck siege
and are over it. More accidents may
happen and the club may be up
against it time and again, but there
seems to be sufficient class to the
team to stand up under more than
its share of adversities and then come
out first best. And while talking
about hard lines anent the Newark
team, the accident that put Gus Getz
in the game was a favor from Allah.
'Tis an i'll wind, we've heard so often,
that blows nobody good, yet Harry
Smith and the Tigers should thank
their lucky stars for the presence OF
Getz in the batting order. The
others, one and all, are doing their
best and their share for the clubs
success, but Getz seems to be the OPP
perfume man when he is most needed
He is big and rangy and has his own
way of doing things, but he gets there
in the most approved style. Really
from all one can see and from all one
can hear, Gus Getz is the find" OF
the season.

Umpire Byron must be going badly
if he is able to rifle Casey" Stengel
of the Brooklyns, to such an extern
that the lambasting outfielder misbe
haved sufficiently to be put out of the
game. for they do say of Stenge
that he is so tempered and o
such a pleasant nature that he will
take a mile the worst of 1t and ther
smile. Yet Stengel was canned
yesterday by Byron, which gives BY
ron a new record to crow over. AS /;
means of information, it is noted tina
Casey Stengel is no relation of Bill
Stengel, famous as the owner of Bill.
