p I. Powers, the promoter, is try
ing to interest Frank Million in base
ball Mr. Powers, in letter to Mr..
Million, says that he has had a talk
with Mr.. Ebbets who, with the Nc
Keever brothers, controls the Newark
Club, and declares the local franchise
with all its trimmings can be pur-
chased at very reasonable price.
Mr.. Powers suggests that if Mr.
Million desires to go into baseball he
would be only too pleased to be Of
service to him. In discussing the
Powers letter last night Mr. Million
said that it would take a team of oxen
to drag him into baseball at the pres
emf time. He admitted that there
was a time when he had the bee"
but he says now he always thanks
his lucky stars that he didn't become
a magnate. For fear there might be
some misunderstanding Mr. Million
said he wanted it made thoroughly
clear that he wasn't in the field for
the Newark Club. He wouldn't buy
the team at any price, he said, and
he made this statement so that those
who might desire to become. inter-
ested would know that he was not in
the field.

Federal League magnates have

locking for site for a baseball

have been asked on several desirable
pieces Of property along the South
Orange street car line, and Mr..
Million says that there has been some
inquiry about the Motordrome site,
but he did not know. he said, whether
they were Federal League men or
even baseball men. He had been ap-
preached, he declared. about the
Motordrome, but he had not even in

Talking about Lawson, Iver and
Eddie Root are now equal favorites
with Alfred Goullet and Freddie Hill
for leading honors In the race. Law
son is riding like a streak and Root
is about as good as he used to be.
1t is figured that with an hour of
sprints at the finish, both Lawson
and Root will be able to win first
places and pile up the points Joe
Fogler and Francesca Verri make
another evenly balanced team, but
with the other teams 1t is case OF
one pretty fast man and one plugger
Just at present Pete Drobach is con-
sidered to be the best man in the
race, but Jimmy Moran, his partner
is not fast enough to win any Of the
sprints. 1t may be, though, thai
Moran and Drobach may try to laI
the field during the wild sprints II
the last hour Of the race. Goullet
on all previous six-day form, stands
out as the king. He may be able I,
win enough sprints to win the race

The Feds have been showing so
much life recently that new interest
Is being taken in their doings. Where
the money is coming from no one
seems to know, but the outlaws" are
raising ruetions in organized base
bah ranks. Stars of the two major
leagues are being offered vast sums
to Jump to the Feds, and the acquisi-
ton of Walter Johnson, the Wash
ington pitcher, has given other play
ers confidence in the invaders. Marty
Kavanagh, of the Detroit club, it Is
said. has received several offers from
the Feds. but Marty is not inclined
to play with the outlaws" He would
like to get away from Detroit, 1t IS
known, and he may get his wish, for
Manager Jennings has asked waivers
on the young man, who in the early
part Of last season gave promise OF
becoming a great ball player. kava-
uagh may decide TO play semi-pro

Detroit. One year in a Class "A

though everything pointed to failure
for the Newark six-day race, Mac
Farland always kept up his spirits
and said the venture would be a sue
cess. He accused Million and Up
percu, the owners, of being cold
footed, and he laughed at the sad face
Of E. deb. Worry Newman. Mac"
has contended all along that the fans
would support the race, and he was
in rare Joy last night over the large
attendance.
I'VE will turn 'em away before the
week is over. take my word for it,
MacFarIand said This is a great
race so far. and it will be q better one
from now on. 1t Is an open race, too,
and 1 defy anyone to say any certain
team is going to win. I am particu-
larly pleased with the way Iver Law
son, my old partner, is riding. 1
would like to see Iver come back to
his old self. He surely was a wonder
ful rider. and my good wishes are
with him. Bob Spears is another boy
who looks good, and think this race
will make him. II he secures Morey
Gordon to train him next season he
should be right up among the top
notchers. But I knew this race would
be a winner" MacFarland went on to
say, "and ] am glad 1 put it on. It Is
a big success from a racing stand
point, and, Judging from the attend
ance tonight, 1t will be a big financial
success.- also,

FIRE DOES DAMAGE
TO HOWALD BLOCK


Friday during the noon hour the
H0Wald block was discovered on IRE.
An Investigation revealed the fact
that quantity of gasoline In the
tailor shop Of G. J. Thomson had
caught nre from Q small gasoline
stove In the hallway. Mr.. Thomson
was cleaning clothes In . tub con-
tanning . quantity of gasoline and 1t
II thought that the room became NIL
cd with the fumes Of the gas until X
reached point where an explosion
took place. The nre Immediately
got in touch with the gasoline In the
tub, and the clothes that were soak
ed with gasoline, and hanging On q
linz to dry. The flames shot out of
the, west window and spread to the
dreasmAkink room in the rear Oc-
cupied by the Misses Mary Mcclure
and Wayne Michel. Both rooms
customers and this In addition to the
equipment and materials usually
on hand, made the loss quite heavy.
For while It looked a. though the
entire block was doomed. Smoke was
issuing from all parts Of the building
and had 1t not been for the quick
action Of the hremen with the
chemical engine, we might have had
10 diherent story to record. The
chemicals smothered the flames and
this enabled the firemen to enter the
rooms. A line Of hose was soon
playing on the ilre and with good
water pressure the blaze was put
under control. Yet we are told that
II the IRE had lasted ave minutes
longer the town would have been
without water. as the small well had
been pumped dry Just before dinner
The two rooms were badly dam
aged and the IRE got good Roadway
In the attic. The damage to the
building will amount to several hum
drod dollars but 10 covered BY, In
sufance. Mr.. Thomsen's loss ~ In
the neighborhood of $500 while his
0uBt0meFs lose an equal amount
His loss 10 total az he carried NO i'm
Surance. The same 10 true Of the
Misses MCGUIRE and MicheAls, but
they have secured other rooms and
are again ct work. Their loss 10 e.
timated at 5000.
Mr.. Thomson came here about q
year ago and was just getting on his
feet. Only . few days before he re-
eeived lot Of new materials for his
fall business. The loss fA1ls heavily
on him a. he has no other means Of
support for his family and he is left
without funds to Pe-entOV business.
However. he expects to remain In
Audubon and endeavor to find
another room THN IRE was . very
unfortunate AFFAIR for All concerned.
r. A. Buthweg will stand to lose
quite q sum from water leaking
through the ceiling into his room.
During the hre people helped all they
could TO cover the stock. hut ct best
