Cavanagh, it is said has been made
an excellent offer, but Collins is play
ing his part of the game with such
positive sureness that he is likely to
have two pay days at the same time.
Collins. it is said, is desired by those
back of the Motordrome for Bos-
ton as a pace follower. He hasn't
made up his mind just yet what to
do. He is scheduled to ride at Bos-
ton tonight: although it is said that
he has promised the opposition that
he will be in line before long. Cava-
nagh, who is flirting with the Motor
drome, has a contract to race at the
Velodrome. That will make it a court
matter, it is declared, if Cavanagh
dumps In the meantime, Million
and Chapman have cabled for more
foreign riders. What harvest for
the knights of the steed! But it can't
last long.
Just about the time the quarrel is
over and the promoters have decided
that they have spent enough money
for the "cause, the public is very
likely to become disguised with the
whole affair and spend it's evenings
and it's Sundays enjoying other pleas
ures. Such a thing may come to
pass sooner than expected. At the
rate bonuses are being paid no one
track with all the riders under con-
tract, and the sums that are now
being paid, could possibly exist. Not
even capacity attendance would see
the promoters through. For the rid
ers who are profiting by the warfare,
it is a delightful experience. For
the game that is bound to suffer by
the movement, it is too bad The big
men of the game, Kramer, Clark
Goullet, Grenda and Fogler, are stick
ing to the promoters who have made
the game what it is today Kramer
has said that if Million and Chapman
should withdraw from the game he
would not race around here. This
in brief, is the cycling situation in
Newark today.

Yale and Harvard are playing base
ball today at New Haven. Yale. as
she should be- is the favorite. The
record of the Ellis this season is
about the best they have ever had
They beat nearly everybody, includ-
ing Princeton, which, for a wonder
wasn't much this year The inter-
est in the game today is particularly
keen. Harvard believes she has an
excellent chance. The dope. however,
makes Yale very promising. Yet
college games, even more than pro-
fessional games result in upsets.

The Sussex Avenue School has so
much to feel proud of that the boys
and the girls can be excused for their
rather eager display of enthusiasm
these days as the winner of six med
ais at the public school athletic meet.
The pupils are certainly in a position
| to crow. Their display of energy was
| very noticeable, and out of Sussex
are almost sure to come athletes who
| of the country In the not distant
| future. Among the trophies cap
tured by Sussex was the one pre-
scented by the Newark Evening Star
which was awarded to the school Sc
curing the greatest number of arst
places Sussex, with six firsts, led
| the others and to Sussex the EVenins
Star trophy will go, to be priced
highly by the pupils of today and
! by the pupils undoubtedly of the
days to come when the scholars of to-
day will be the big citizens of To-
morrow. To Sussex; Good luck as
the winner of the monster meet ano
as the winner of the Evening Stai
trophy. To the other schools who
did their best and failed, more luck
and better success the next time.
