RoseIle High Asserts Railway
Players Were Not Amateurs

Railway High Schools football sup
porters are astounded. Charges of
professionalism have been brought
against ave of the most important
members OF the team Arthur and Ell
mer Armstrong. star backfieid men;
Alfred Brooks, Blanchard and Edwin
Durand. The Union County inter-
scholastic League, which includes
Railway High School, Battin High
School, Plainfield High School and
Roselle, the school making the
charges, has ordered an investigation
Of the evidence against the quintet.
It Ia alleged that the boys played on
the Railway Athletic Association
baseball team this summer. in the
ranks OF which were several profess
sional players from this city. In a
hearing yesterday, George w. Crowell,
the manager of the association team,
averred that the High School boys re-
ceived no compensation whatsoever
while playing on the team, and that
the other members received only legit-
innate expenses.
A. S. Davis. principal OF Roselle High
School, who is pushing the protest,
commended that there were players on
the baseball team upon which the
football men played who received

amateur status by playing on the
same nine. Walter r. Short, the
coach OF the Railway High School
eleven, represented that his charges
were not aware of the others profess

East Orange High School is
scheduled to play Railway the Friday
before the Barringer game, and, I'M
less the suspicion against the Rah-
way players is cleared, the date will

SMITH SIGNS HIS
NEWARK CONTRACT
Harry viii Guide the Destinies
of the Tigers Next -
Season.
PREDICTS TEAMS SUCCESS

Harry Smith, who piloted the New
ark International League Club TO a
pennant last season, signed his con-
tract TO act as manager again next
year, following conference held in
Brooklyn yesterday. Smith declared
today he is Well satisfied with the
terms offered and that he will short
" begin the owrk of Teorganizing his
team for the 1914 campaign. Smith
refused to discuss the figures on his
1914 contract beyond saying that they
are perfectly satisfactory, and he Is
out with an early prediction that the
Tigers VIII be up in the race again
next year.
The next important step In the re-
organization of the Newark Club Will
take place in this city Monday. Mo-
vember 1s, when the directors OF the
Newark Club meet to elect q presi-
dent and transact other routine bust
ness. The most prominent candidate
for the position Just now appears to
be Larry Sutton. from local stand
point. but strict secrecy is being
maintained over in Brooklyn, and no
one knows Just who will be the local
clubs business executive, so far as
can be learned. The prospects ara
that the Ebbets and McKeever inter-
ests will retain control OF the club
for another year
Smith will have full charge OF the
Tigers, just as he did last year, on
the field. He has one or two men he
may be willing to use In trades IF
anything worth while In the player
| line can be offered by rival managers
at the December meeting OF the In
! ternational League.
Smith will not attend the National
Association meeting to be held in
Columbus, but the Newark Club will
be well represented. Larry Sutton,
one of the directors of the club. as
we'll as George L. Solomon, will at
tend the conclave. President Charles
| II. Ebbets, OF the Brooklyn Club, will
also attend the function. Many deals
are pulled Off at this affair annually,
and 1t is probable that more than one
advantageous swap may be put
through In the interests OF the local
club
Harry Smith says it Is too early to
talk of training plans Just yet, but
declares that he favors a return to
Savannah. Ga Nothing will be done
