NEWARK OWNERS
UNABLE TO MEET
Absence of Ebbets and Solo,
mon Causes POstpOnement
of Annual Session.
WILL CONVENE DECEMBER 2

The annual meeting of the Newark
International League Clubs stock
holders, scheduled for last night, was
postponed because three directors were
not present. Charles H. Ebbets, ST.,
and Charles Ebbets, jr, were un-
able to attend, illness in the family
being given as the cause. George l..
Solomon was not on hand, having
learned that nothing would be done in
the absence of the Ebbets. The meet
ing was postponed until Tuesday, De-
cember 2, at p. m
The critical Illness of James Ebbets,
brother of the Brooklyn president, was
given as the reason for inability of
the Ebbets to be present. The local
stockholders, John McLaren, Gustave
A. Wiedenmayer, Joseph Wieden-
mayer. Lawrence Sutton and G. p.
Schmidt were present, as were
stephen and Edward MoKeever,
Henry w. Medicus and Bernard J..
York, counsel for the Newark and
Brooklyn clubs.
The Brooklyn magnates explained
that Ebbets's brother, who resides
In the Bronx, had been stricken late
yesterday afternoon and his oondi-
ton was 80 critical that his relatives
were called to the bedside.
In postponing the meeting for two
weeks 1t is just possible that during
the two weeks intervening before the
date set for the postponed meeting
the club may be sold Edward Nc
Keever, who acted as spokesman last
night, said that William McGill had
made no direct offer and that the
club was not likely to be sold. Mr..
lMcKeever, however, was evasive in
discussing the subject, and IL is be-
lieved that an effort may yet be made
by the Brooklyn interests to dispose
of their Newark holdings in spite of
denials.
None of the Brooklyn men would
discuss the president question, but it
seems certain that Charles II. Ebbets,
jr., will be elected at the next meeting
| IL the same owners have control.
There is a possibility that Eddie
Phelps, who helped the Tigers out
during the flag end of the season, will
not wear Newark uniform, after all,
next season. Phelps has a chance to
| manage q minor league club, and a
| deal may be pulled whereby he can
| get his reelase from the local club.
In Pierre. S. D.. articles of moor
poration were filed with the secretary
of state for the Colored National
Baseball League of the United States.
The league is capitalized for $4,000,
and Is backed by Chicago men.
In game played at Medford. Ore,
yesterday, the Giants won from the
| White Sox. 3 to 0. Hooks Wiltse
pitched. The game was called in the
sixth inning on account of rain.
bert Tooley, of the Tigers, had a
narrow escape in a hunting accident,
which happened in Michigan recently,
according to letter written to q
] friend in this city. Bert, with O party
of relatives and friends. was returning
from hunting trip in a rowboat,
when a gun belonging to one of the
| hunters accidentally exploded and

FAVOR RESTRICTION.
OF ARMORY MEET
First Regiment Games May Be
Closed to SchOOIboys and
Soldiers.
AWAIT A. A. U. SANCTION

If the plans OF Captain Harold A.
Wakefield, president of the First Reg
iment Athletic Association, are car
ried out, the double meet to be held
at the armory in February will be a
closed one In the strictest sense of the
word. 1t is Captain Wakefield's idea
10 nave the meet restricted to the
members of his regiment and the
local public and parochial schools.
The program as now drawn up calls
Tor double meet for local schoolboys
and members of the First Regiment,
and the tentative date for the affair
Is February IL, 1914. The events open
to the guardsmen will consist of semi
military contests, and will include q
wall-scaling competition, a tug-of-
war, an obstacle race and a 'Salome
race In addition to the regular ath-
letic competitions.
The "Salome race Is always a great
mirth- provoker, besides being an in
teresting contest of skill. The men
start from mark In full uniform and
along the line OF the dash are stations,
at each one of which the contestant
must remove some part of their uni
form. On the return trip they put on
an article of clothing at each Of these
stations, finishing in full uniform.
The possibilities for side-splitting
comedy in this event can easily be
imagined.
For the schoolboye, the events will
be divided into senior, Junior and mid
get classes, and will be the usual ath-
letic contests, with several features,
which will be decided hpon at the
next meeting of the Athletic Associa-
ton of the regiment.
Every member of the regiment lie
also member of the athletic asso-
citation and all will be entitled to free
passes on the night of the meet.
The entire list of prizes has not been
decided upon as yet. but 1t Is under
stood that gold, silver and bronze
medals will be offered for individual
competition, while the schools and
companies will compete for handsome
point trophies.
An application for sanction has been
made to the A. A. u. and everything
will be done to make the competition
an interesting one both for contest
ants and spectators.

shorp Denies Charge.

Railway High School is evidently
very sincere in its attempt to estab-
lish its claim to the high school cham
pionship of the State. Recently it
was contended that Railway had
made no effort to eliminate Westfield
High School. in its own county, and
Rutherford High School, the North
ern New Jersey interscholastic cham
pion from the race for the State foot
ball honors. Coach w. Shorp, of the
Railway team, denied the contention
today, and stated that he had offered
the election day and another date to
both Rutherford and Westfield This
is hardly in accordance with the
statement that Manager Lucey, of the
Rutherford team, made that he had
been unable to secure games with
East Orange, Barringer or Railway.
Railway has it's work cut out for il
Saturday, when the Union county
champions meet East Orange High
school at Ashland Field. If the Rah-
way eleven succeeds an putting over
a win it will have to be reckoned in

football teams of the state. However

effort will be made by the New York
football team to catch the Redskins
off their guard as they did two years
ago, when the Indians in sublime
confidence of their power ran into
slump In the Syracuse game Car
Isle will not be taken by surprise
this year.
Almost the full brigade of midship-
men at Annapolis gathered on the
stands yesterday and sang and
cheered in order to stir up the team.
This will be continued on every af-
ternoon until the squad leaves for
New York, where on the Polo
Ground the middies will meet the
Army team in the annual struggle
for the service championship. The
singing and cheering of the mldship-
men brought home the fact that the
game is less than two weeks off.
BY q change in the manner Of
marking the tickets for this years
Harvard Yale football game, the
Harvard athletic authorities hope to
be able to prevent ticket speculation
On each ticket is stamped the name
of the individual applicant and he
alone will be allowed to use 1t. If a
ticket is presented at the Stadium by
person other than the one whose
name appears on the card 1t will be
conf1scated and the one to whom 1t
was issued will be deprived of the
right to apply for tickets to future
games. Frederick w. Moore, gradu-

suited In to victory for St. Bene-
diets yesterday In its second game
of the season with Belleville High
School at the Newark Athletic Park,
South Orange avenue and Boylan
street. Belleville held the High street
lads safe In the first half, keeping the
ball for the most of the time in St
Benedict's territory. Penter, the
quarterback of the Midtown eleven.
ripped off several lengthy runs in
the first quarter, and just before the
periods end placed the leather on the
one-yard line, only to have it brought
back on a holding penalty.
Ward attempted a field goal from
the 35-yard mark upon the resunp-
ton of play. but the boot went askew
Belleville's interference and the in
dividual efforts of Penter kept Bene-
diets on the alert in the second quar-
ter, the first half ending with the
leather on the Benedict 30-yard line
1t was shortly after the opening
play of the second half that st. Bene-
diets scored. Ward kicked to Cava-
naugh, who ran the ball back to his
80-yard chalk. On the next play Gil
ligan hurled the oval to McDermit,
who evaded the Belleville secondary
defense and sprinted for a touch
down. Gilligan kicked the goal.
The local team all but repeated in
the final quarter. Cavanaugh,
George and McDermit rushed the ball
to the Belleville 1-yard line. Here
the Milltowners' line stiffened and it
held the Maroon and Gray for downs.

from its 6-yard line when the final
whistle prevented. The lineup and

Vote on st. Benedicts Tomorrow.

According to the sentiment ex-
pressed yesterday at a meeting of the
constitution committee of the Newark
High Schools Athletic Association st.
Benedict's Preparatory School is to
be denied admittance into the newly
formed league. The purpose of the
new organization as the representa-
tives of the four high schools inter-
preted 1t was to promote athletics in
the public schools The idea of pro-
noting contests for the award of city
championships was not the intent of
the body Hence, none of the repre-
sentatives present could set forth any
advantage that would result from the
Catholic schools affiliation with the
body. Such a purpose as deciding
the city championships could not be
served even If 1t were the primary
object of the organization, unless
Newark Academy could be induced to
Join. The possibility of the Farrand
School making application appeared
to be very remote. Wayland e.
Stearns made statement during the
afternoons discussion that BODIES i'll
'or basketball. He said that he was
N favor of doing away with that
part of the athletic program which
followed football and preceded base
ball and outdoor track events, as 1t
took up too much of the students
line. He emphasized that the ath-
etics were secondary to studies and
when the time came he would be fa-
rorable to the abolition of basketball
and the other sports that took up
much of the aforesaid interval. Mr..
stearns cited Newark Academy as
controlling the athletic in the ideal
ashton. Outdoor track, football,
baseball. cross-country and basketball
we're enumerated in the constitution
as the sports in which championship
competition should be held. Should
this program of championship events
be adopted tomorrow at the regular
meeting of the association there will
be mandatory competition In the same
every year. Other championship COM
petitions may be conducted in the
following sports: Swimming, indoor
track, Workmanship, tennis and Soc
Ger football. The next meeting of the
association will be held tomorrow at
the City Hall. At this time the mat
ter of st. Benedict's admittance and
the adoption of the constitution will
he voted upon.
