numerous challengers and he has
picked out an opponent that has suf-

Baseball games the country over on
the Fourth of July will draw tremen-
dous crowds, and the other sporting
ventures will come in for their share
of attention. The game in Newark in
the afternoon with Jersey City as an
opponent should pack the ball
grounds to their utmost capacity and
the game in the morning at Jersey
City, with the same teams perform
ing, is sure to draw satisfactory
gathering. In the National League
and in the American League the
Fourth will be really and truly cele-
brated. with double-headers all along
the line. The day promises to be big
in every way and only the weather
can possibly interfere with the pleas
ures of the sport-loving public. A
safe and sane Fourth makes a lively
Fourth at that.
G
The Stadium Motordrome. which
promises a new manager very soon,
has arranged to hold its first ami
versary meet on the Fourth. A card
that promises much good racing has
been arranged, and with the outlaws
having the field to themselves, no
Velodrome, it will be vitality in
teresting to the promoters to observe
how we'll the venture draws. 1t will
give Mr.. Uppercu, who is spending
much money on a game that prom
ises him little in return, line on
what he is to expect in the future If
he should ever secure complete con-
troll of cycling, which is not likely,
at least for some time to come.

Since the retirement of Jay Eaton
as manager of the Motordrome there
has been considerable speculation as
to who will be Jays successor. Just
at present, according to report at the
Motordrome, Eddie Root is in charge
of affairs, but other riders, 1t is said,
are at his throat, fighting for the
position. At one time it was de-
clared that Dave Mackay would be
given the managerial reins. but, just
to show their loyalty, the other riders
signed a petition demanding that
Mackay's appointment be sidetracked.
The applications for the position are
numerous, naturally, for the job it Is
said. pays handsomely. A number of
big men have been mentioned for the
position, among them John Valentine,

When Messrs. Uppercu and p. I.
Powers get down to business two new
bicycle tracks, 1t is declared, will be
In existence. One is to be erected at
Brighton Beach, on the inside of the
Motordrome track, and the other
down at Boston, near where Messrs.
Million and Chapman now have a
track at Revere Beach. Besides, the
Uppercu- Powers interests are on their
way flying in the six-day game. With
Madison Square Garden for the big
grind in December, 1t is said that the
gentlemen have also secured the
Arena in Boston for a short-hour six
day race there If that is So Messrs.
Million and Chapman will have to
either secure another building In Bos-
ton for their contemplated full-dis-
lance grind or else hold the race in
some other large city. The moves are
being made so rapidly just now in
cycling that 1t is not an easy task to
follow them. But one thing is a posi-
tive certainty, a few angels" are
spending a lot of money that they
are not likely to see the color OF
again. The riders, of course, are
painting beautiful pictures to the pro-
motors on both sides of the street, but
not even the persuasive chortlings of
the OUTLAWS" or the "stickers" are
likely to endure when the gate re-
ceipts are light and the payroll is
high.

Cycling is a game that has been
much enjoyed by thousands of citi-
zens within many miles radius of
Newark and it would be a crime to
harm 1t where it has existed almost
alone for years. The fight. now on,
can do the game no good, and it Is
going to last for some time to cAme
Both sides are out to win and both
seem confident of winning. Messrs
Powers and Uppercu are starting out
on a big scale and they will have to
spend much money to float tkeir en-
terprlses 1t will be many day be-

Is said that money is not the sole
object. That Is evident by the con-
tract that has been signed calling for

day grind. It will require capacity.
crowds every day and the promoters
would then owe themselves money.
@
Pat Powers in an OUTLAW" move
ment doesn't seem the proper fit. He
has been a stickler for organization
all his life, but he has given in to his
feelings and is now seeking to get
even for an alleged wrong. Like Mr.
Uppercu, Mr.. Powers is perhaps
wrong in his idea that he has been
wronged by Messrs. Million and Chap
man. 1t is known that those in con-
troll of the six-day race last year
wouldn't allow Powers to run the
race nohow. Million and Chapman
were given charge of the grind for
the simple reason that Powers was
not wanted, and Powers knows that
to be a fact, and he knows that /
know it, too. Mr.. Uppercu believes
that Million and Chapman tried to
stop motor racing at the Motordrome.
That is his grievance.

 Mary, the oldest child, in returning from school found no signs of her mother and then smelled gas. It was traced to the door of a bedroom. Opening it, she was mortified to find her mothers prostrate body between the bed and window. The gas was turned on but had not been for a suf- f1cient length of time to bring about the desired result. MT. Fitzgibbons was called from his work and, with neighbors watched her. During the afternoon she tried to jump from a second story window and to cut her throat with a butcher knife. It was reported that she managed to inflict what was little more than a scratch the last time. Quick work by her husband, William. and neighbors fr,1s- trated both attempts.
 Lieutenant Garry P. Sanger, of the Third precinct police station, was notified and relayed the message to Superintendent Fred R. Johnson of the Department of Charities. Investi- gator Morrissey got the message about 10 o'clock. To add to his troubles he found that he had a flat automobile tire and this had to be repaired be- fore the trip.

HowaTth, the young lawyer oI Put nam, for arson. today, when the state suddenly called to the stand as it's witness, Lind1ey H. Caine, who was arrested with Howarth.s In the course Bof his testimony, Caine said Howarth had not only insisted that he had set certain fires but had boasted that he had done a good job and Cafne ought to be proud of him.
 Cafne testified he was 21 years old and law student and had known EIo- warth for over 10 years. When the latter became a lawyer, Caine made his Headquarters in his office. At one time, they were running a collec- ton agency but business was slow and it was given up. He had been employed by Howarth, he said, at various times, to do typewritfng for him.
 He told of five automobiles which he said Howarth owned. Two of them were burned in the fire at the Put nam fair grounds. One of the burn ed cars, Caine testified, was purchas- ed for $75O and insured for $500. The other was bought with cash and a note for $85O and was insured for S1. 400.

Love letters of 25 years ago in which s'ny own true love" and you dear, sweet kfd' were phrases read to-day in the superior court when the divorce suit of Warren B. Smith, a wealthy Norwa1k manufacturer against Isabella Roberts Smith was heard. Smith had packet of letters which were written by his wife, he said, to his cousin, Edward EagIeton.
 Smith found the letters in 1888 and when he accused his wife of having written them she did not deny it. Fix tracts from the letters read to the court contained such gems as "Oh, my darling, My Eddie. I want to see you so much. I do not know how I can wait. It is two months ago since I saw you and gave you those kisses that showed me the reality of life. I love you with all my heart, more than any one else on earth. Those hours of bliss when we were alone together. I wish I could tell all the world my love. Some day snail, perhaps

He became friendly with the Smiths and was a guest at their bungalow on an island near Norwalk. One morning Smith took his children on fishing trip and his wife went bathing with Little. Smith was only a short distance from shore and heard his wife say to Little, Come on in, Ed, there's not a. soul in the house.
 The irate husband rowed to shore, rushed into the house and found Little coming out of Mrs. Smiths room. He was clad in natures garb and Mrs. Smith wore nothing but a startled ex- pression. 'I told him to get off the island or I'd shoot him. said Smith. "And he vent
