steal director fer eight years at the
Newark Academy, has accepted the
position of athletic director at Frank
lin & Marshall College, located at
Lancaster, Pa. Mr. Mayser, as every
body knows who has followed school
athletics hereabouts, Is one of the
best schools in the country. His sue
cess at the academy was tremendous
and when he left there three years
ago to take up a position at Tome
School, at Port Deposit, Nd, there
was much regret felt at the school.
Just as he had been successful here,
his efforts brought forth results at
Tome. Popular among his boys. a
number of academy students went
with Mayser to Tome and now some
of the Tome scholars are going with
| him to Franklin & Marshall. At
present at Tome there are about
thirty Jersey boys, among them
| twelve Newarkers. Before he takes
up his duties at the Lancaster insti-
| tuition Meyser is going to enjoy a
| trip abroad and will be accompanied
by a number of Tome students. I'm
mediately on his return he will as
sumo his labors at Franklin & Mar
shall.

In Mayser, Franklin and Marshall
has secured an able coach and a
man whose personality is sure to win
him success. He coached well at the
academy and at Tome and he is now
taking the biggest job of his career.
At Tome Mayser developed victorious
teams in football, in baseball and in
track athletics. OF the thirteen track
records now at Tome ten Of them
were made during Mayser's tenure of
office. Franklin and Marshall is noted
as one of the most dangerous of the
small colleges in sports, especially i'll
football In taking the instructor
ship at the Lancaster college, Mayer
realizes that he will be in a position
to make a name for himself He has
been waiting for such an opportunity
for years, and has refused alluring
offers on numerous occasions from va
rious colleges because he did not feel
that he was just ready to go in for
college instruction. Now, though, he is
well satisfied with himself and conf
dent that he will make good. No less
parsonage than the late Mike Muir
ply, greatest trainer of 'em all,
voted Mayser as the best coach
among the preparatory schools in the
country, and advised him long ago to
take up college work Murphy, by
the way and it was characteristic of
him, was not free with his praises, so
Mayser must have shown the grand
old trainer something unusual.
g
In going to Franklin and Marshall,
Mayser is taking a position in high
athletic society, and he is following
such noted trainers as DR.. Draper,
the all American tackle, and Hollen-
beck, also an all-American football
celebrity. So before him has been
much good work. especially when
Hollenbeck was the coach. He turned
out rare football teams. Mayser,
though, knows athletics in its various
branches. He is best at track, per-
haps, but he is clever too, at football
and baseball. He will have help, of
course, but he will be the director
general. The many Newark friends
of Charley Mayser will wish him all
the luck and success in the world in
his new venture. As coach at the
academy he surely made many friends
and he has held them to this day.

Cycling affairs are becoming rather
complicated and it looks as if many
of the riders are willing to Join the
outlaws" for the inducements Of
fered. Already the field of riders
at the Motordrome has become suff1-
GENTLY large to conduct fine meets,
and other riders, it is said, have
tempting offers to quit the ranks of
the n. C. A. What the ultimate
outcome of the uprising" will be it
is not difficult to conjecture. 1t is
fight now and it is sure to be bitter.
The riders, for the time being, will
benefit, of course, but they and the
game will get the worst of It in the
end Cycling, for such a little sport,
has been knocked around consider
able in its time. 1t has taken many
a Jolt and survived around here, but
Il has taken the count in hun
dreds of other places. The next blow,
which is on its way, is the death
blow. The game isn't big enough or
strong enough to stand up under the
present strain. 1t is bound to col
lapse. There will be a winner and
loser, but the victory will be hol-
low and without reward. The riders
viii be happy for the time being,
but the promoters are sure to be
anything but pleased. Finally the
game that has been so much en-
joyed by so many in this vicinity will
crack from the pressure. That is
the end in sight.
