Tinker's part in the controversy is
only natural. He is playing what is
known as both ends against the
middle" He can't very well lose. If
the Outlaws come through very
strong he may jump to their side, and
if the regulars bid suits his fancy he
will naturally stick to the big
| Show" That is all fair Everybody
for himself is not a bad plan at all
So we will go over to the magnates'
side of the house and argue for a
moment. We will see what they can
do to offset the Tinker play. In the
! first place, organized baseball could
| beat Tinker to a fragile by turning
| Tinker loose-making him a free
agent" as the expression goes, and
allowing him to make terms with the
| outlaws" on his own face value and
not as a club over the head of the
regulars" To drop Tinker right
now would mean that the OUTLAWS"
might draw in their horns, and Tin
ker might not be so we'll off after all
To continue the fight over the player,
and to have the player in the posi-
| tion Of dictator, is q bad thing for
baseball AS badly as Brooklyn needs
Tinker, 1t would be worth the while
- 4oIa fri, nj oil n
to go with the outlaws" The
Brooklyn Club has offered him $4,000
bonus and $4,000 a year for three
years. For a ball player who failed
to make good in Cincinnati that is a
pretty fair offer, notwithstanding
that man is always worth all he
can get, but no more, we might add,
| than what his employer can afford to
give him.

Not few bike fans agree with me
that the New York six-day race is a
detriment to cycling, and that 1t
would be doing the game a world
Of good il the last six-day race had
not been run in Madison Square Gar
den. An old bike rider said this
morning that 1.-The six-day race is
sure enough knock on cycling. I
believe in your sentiments, expressed
in the Evening Star of yesterday"
he continued, that the race should
be stopped. 1 like the game because
| have followed it for years. and was
part of it at one time, but every
year l feel as if some terrible riot
will occur at the Garden, which will
give cycling a blow and a mark from
which it will not recover in a hurry"
From other sources similar opinions
came, and 1 feel that it is worth the
effort to persue a plan of legitimate
action against holding the terrible
grind OF course, if the race is held
next year, the Evening Star will give
all the news, the same as it did this
year, when this publication sustained
its reputation of being the greatest
cycling paper in the world.

Six-day racing is a FOOLS event, and

Gunboat Frlsco.s Choice.

San Francisco sporting men are
offering 10 to that Gunboat Smith
will defeat Arthur Pelkey at jim
Coffroth's DAILY City arena on New
Years Day. In view of the failure of
Smith to stop either Frank Moran or
Jess Willard in twenty-round battles
in San Francisco, the sharps are will
ing to lay odds that he will win, but
only ON the referees decision on
points over Pelkey. Tommy Burns's
confident assertions that Pelkey will
score a knockout are taken with a
grain of salt. for the reason that
Burns's conversational powers are
well known on the coast.

The outcome of the Tinker contro-
versy will mean much to organized
baseball 1t will mean, If Tinker gets
his price. that other players will fight
the regulars with the outlaws" 1t
may mean that the players will rule,
although the owners will have to pro-
duce the money to conduct the busi-
ness. The Tinker case, especially at
this stage of the game, may mean
everything. The OUTLAWS" may be
entitled to all kinds of consideration,
but we could never see much sport in
their methods If they fight and win
it will be the same thing, for they,
too, would become regulars" A good
stiff battle by the outlaws now
would benefit the players, OF course
but later on the men would find out
that the outlaws" while all right to

FIFTY ONE CASES OF
TYPHOID TOTAL HERE

Up to date ffty-one cases of
typhoid fever have been reported to
the health board. The authorities
believe that the epidemic has seen
it's worst stage and that the disease
has been checked somewhat. AL
though the cause for the epidemic
has not been discovered, the health
authorities believe that they are
gradually checking the disease by
the precautions they are ordering
dealers to take.
Operations were discontinued in
the ice cream factory of A. Z. Alchin
yesterday afternoon by order of the
health department. Clifton Alchin,
the twelve-year-old son of the ice
cream manufacturer, is one of the
number suffering from typhoid and
the health authorities thought it best
to allow no ice cream to be manu-
factured on the premises where the
boy lives. Mr.. Alchin claims that his
factory is entirely separated from his
home, although both are at the same
address. He also stated that no one
from the home has gone into the Ice
cream factory since 1t was learned
that his son had typhoid. Mr. Alchin
is now supplying his trade with ice
cream bought from Newark.

gradually making It's way to the
sleepers' bedroom on the second
floor.
A late retirer on his way home
passed by the house of Stephen Pol
askowski in Donald avenue, and dis
covered the flames leaping from the
kitchen to the other rooms. He
knocked on the front door, and re-
ceiving no response, took some
rocks and broke through the wooden
structure. He then made his way
to the bedroom of Mr.. and Mrs. Pol
askowski and three small children
on the second floor and aroused them
from their slumbers. The family
made q quick exit and took refuge in
the house of neighbor.
AS is customary, according to Pol
burning In the kitchen and another
In the bedroom. Both were turned
low, and he says the fire was caused
by the upsetting of the one in the
kitchen or by its explosion. I'm
doubtedly the flames originated in
the kitchen. The interior of the
house was gutted and a large part
of one side was consumed. The furni-
ture in every room was destroyed,
the total damage to the house and
furniture being estimated at $1,000.
Polaskowski, who owned the build
ing carried 500 on the structure,
and 800 on the furniture.
The sleeping family were not
aware that there was anything out
of the ordinary occurring in the house
until they were aroused by violent
shaking from their rescuer. Mrs.
Polaskowski ran to the bed where
her two girls, eight and five years,
and boy, two years, were sound
asleep. She pulled the first two from
the covers, and took the youngest
in her arms. They had been out Of
the house but a few minutes when
their bedroom became a roaring fur
mace.
Damon P. Tyrrell, of Donald ave-
nue., who was attracted to the scene,
gave the fire alarm at box SO, Brace
and Cleveland avenues. The firemen
responded promptly, but 1t was a
long distance from the nearest fire
house. and the flames had made too
much headway for them to save any
thing but the frame of the building,
and some damaged pieces on the side
and some damaged pieces of furnl-
ture. Fire Chief O'HaTa gave
orders to play on the side
of the house adjoining. If the wind
had been blowing in that direction

ALONG the SOUND

W. Parker Runyon, president of

phase of the waterways of the state
embracing shipping along the Staten

Amboy, telling how he could we'll re-
member that there were only two
industries of any size here. He then
called attention to the manufacture
ing centre which has grown up here,
and how a majority Of the manufac-
turies are vitally affected by improve
ments in the waterways of the state.

ests OF these plants for future expan-
sion are contingent on the improve
ment of the channel of the Staten

sion, who spoke at length upon the

ber to get behind one or two vital
movements for the improvement of
the waterways of the state and con-
tinue to support them until their
fruition. He especially mentioned
the imperative need of the proposed
New Jersey ship canal from the Rari-
tan bay to the Delaware river. Other
prominent speakers spoke in similar
strains.

by the distracted husband, who had
hoped against hope that the facts
that were revealing themselves were
but idle rumors. Finally the whole

daughter of James Breen, of Lin

over the affair and says she will
prosecute her husband.
Unrelenting has been the chase
after the runaways by the injured
husband, The case had been placed
in the hands of the Pinkerton De-

locating the quartet. 1t is expected
that they will arrive home tonight
as Ballantyne received a dispatch
from the detectives Thursday night
that the party were located at Rich
mond. He intends to prosecute the
betrayer of his trust.
Before coming to Jamesburg the
Ballantynes lived in Philadelphia.
