necessary to send to Millville and bor-
row their tools, this caused some de-
lay, but the stoppage was finally To-
Gated; and an investigation showed
that the workmen who built the Mar
ion street line had failed to connect
1t to the main on Walnut street. All
the sewage that could pass into the
latter line was what leaked in through
small hole. This condition had ex-
listed for year. An inspection and
flushing of the sewers at regular in
tervals will prevent such unpleasant
occurances, and such an inspection
viii be made in the next few weeks If
the weather permits.
Two thousand asphalt blocks have
been purchased and received for use
in repairing the street pavements, this
quantity is sufficient to cover about
seventy-four square yards of surface.
Since the last meeting of Council
two sewer taps at SO and 81 Hampton
street, have been made, and one wa
ter tap at 1877 Mill street has been
made.

CALLAHAN AND FOX
PROVE PREP STARS

TN a game full of thrills, brilliant
plays and some bonehead stun
also. the Marist College and Boys
High School teams battled to a ten
inning tie yesterday afternoon at the
Marist diamond. At the end of the
tenth, Umpire Turner called the game,
on account of darkness, with the
score to 3. From the very be-
ginning, the contest was a pitchers
battle between Callahan, of Marist,
and Fox, of Boys High. Fox was wild
at times. and two of the runs were
made off wild pitches, the other one
being the result of hit.
The pitching of Callahan was eN-
cellent Time and again he was
thrown into tight places by bonehead
playing on the part of his men, but
he always managed to pitch himself
clear
Both mines scored in the first in
ming. SpurloCk came in on Armi-
steads high sacrifice to center, and
Allen scored for Marist on a wild
pitch. Lowery. of Marist, knocked
one over the right field fence in the
third but, on account of ground rules,
was prevented from getting more than
two bags. Roberts got a two Dagger
in the NTH, and Marist scored once
more on wild pitch In the seventh
inning. Harrison tripled to right field,
but was out when he tried to stretch
II into a home run. He had been told
to hold third, and for this piece of
headworN Harrison took ride to the
club house. Boys High tied the score
in the eighth, when the whole Marist
team. with the exception of LoWerY
and Callahan, went up in the air Tuil
booted a couple at short. and Allen, on
third. dropped a foul pop and threw
wild to home on Spurlocks bunt.
Marist had "A swell chance to win
the game again in their half OF the
eighth. but Johnson. at third, made
circus catch and doubled Roberts on
first, retiring the side Spurlock and

of my most careful coaching.
Il have sent Thorpe away with the
second team simply because he can
get more work and be able to play in
games every day, an opportunity he
would not have with the regulars.
Has Made Good So Far.
There Is not an exhibition game on
the road that Jim has played in that
he has not made good. He rises TO
emergencies He needs the inspiration
of a real battle. While in Marlin,
there was nothing at stake in the
games between the Giants and colts,
and Jim did not warm up to the oc-
casion with the same spirit that a real
contest instills In a man. The other
players were in the same boat.
Now, Jim has always had good
footing to run on and he used his feet
more than his hands. 1t was second
nature to him to think about his
pedals and a smooth path to speed up,
as he only can
%Jlm has a sple~did stand and
swing when at bat. He also has n
good batting eye. I have never seen
an Indian who didn't. He can sure Hit
the ball, and as hard and as far as
Chief Meyers, although, of course, Jim
is not the polished batter the Chief is,
but he will become so. never fear.
Thorpe was fooled occasionally on
curves but tell me what player isn't
in the spring.
Far From q Failure.
IF Jim Thorpe had reported to me
in Marlin as plain Josh Jenkins from
bush league he would have made a
hit with me as a promising recruit,
and that tells the whole story.
1T is all bosh about his being a
failure.
II like his work. and that settles it,
He will stick with US, and / wouldn't
sell him for twice what ! paid for
him. Is that strong enough?"
