LEFTY FLYNN NOT
|NRUTGERSSQUAD
Coach Sanford Denies RumOr
That Former Yale Star Is
to Play.

NEW BRUNSWICK, Sept. "a
Coach Foster Sanford, of the Rut-
gers football team, denied yester-
day that there was any truth in the
rumor that Lefty" Flynn, the for
mer Yale football star, would be
among the Rutgers players Saturday
in the game at Princeton. 1t was
not denied though that Flynn had
tried to enter Rutgers. Flynn play
ed sensational football while at Yale.
He left Yale in a spectacular fashion,
and when he applied for reinstatement,
his request was ignored by the New
Haven faculty. For this reason it
is said the Rutgers authorities turn
ed down his application.
The squad had long practice ses-
sion yesterday despite the heat.
Coaches Sanford and Gargan de-
voted considerable, time to the Of
fensive work of the team. 1t was
in this department of the game that
the team proved lamentably weak
against Princeton last year. An
other long session will be held to-
day with only light work tomorrow.

ENTRIES FORECAST
SUCCESS OF GAMES
Present Signs Point to Record
Entry for Police Athletic
Carnival October 3.

Judging from the number of entries
that are pouring in, the monster po-
lice athletic carnival at Wiedenmay-
er's Park, on October 3, promises to
be one of the most successful events
that has ever been run off in this
State. William McTague, the secre-
tary of the committee, Is head over
heels in work preparing for the big
day, and he vows that no labor will be
spared to make the affair notable
one. The music will be one of the
predominating features of the day.
The police bands from New York,
Philadelphia and Jersey City will
combine with the Newark police land,
and the united harmony according to
Sergeant John Mcdonald, will alone
be worth the price of admission.
While it is not settled whether
Babe" Mcdonald, the worlds cham
pion shot-putter of the New York
traffic squad, will be able to COM
pete, Secretary McTague will go to
New York today and try to induce
the famous Irish-American star to
give an exhibition. Mcdonald has
entered for the metropolitan cham
pionship on October 3, and this may
interfere with his coming. Egon
Erickson, the crack high jumper of
the New York force, has consented TO
give an exhibition. Another star man
who will appear will be George ].
Merz, of the first inspectors staff,
New York. Merz is n ten second"
man in the 100-yard dash and he won
the century and the quartermile in
the New York police games, besides
romping off with second place in the
furlong event. John M. Kelly, of
Traffic C station, New York, has en-
tered for all the open events. Kelly
says on his blank that he won the
all-around metropolitan champion
ships last year.
Paterson will send eight men to
compete. consisting of Eugene Wild,
James Smith, j. l.. Hamilton, Charles
Daugherty, John Heinzelman, Will
lam Scherer, f. e. Bishop, John Muir
ply and James Mccormick. From this
squad a relay team will be recruited.
Relay teams have been promised by
Orange, South Orange, Railway. New
York, Philadelphia and Jersey city,
while Bayonne and Elizabeth VIII
probably enter later.

CROSS COUNTRY RUN FOR
LOCAL HIGH SCHOOL TEAMS
Central Scores Initial
Victory Over Barringer

Central High School, which has
been more or less of a stumbling
block in the path of Barringer
High School for the last two
years, that, as far as athletics
are concerned, scored it's first vic
tory of the football season yes
terday afternoon at a meeting of
the games committee of the New
ark High School Athletic Asso-
citation. October called for two
games being played at the City
Athletic Field, Barringer having
been scheduled to clash with
Railway High School and Central
with Dover High School. AS there
is but one playing space avail
able for football at the field il
was necessary for one of the
schools to cancel a game. Daniel
Mcmillan, representing Central
High School, then pulled a coin
from his pocket.
What do you say?" said the
Central Prof"
Heads" was the quick reply
of William w. King, who tool
care of the Barringer interests.
The American eagle put in its
appearance, as Mcmillan uncov-
cred his hand Central had
started off the fall term with
victory, which Professor McMilla
characterized as pretty good
start"

but it is believed that Ashland

'ELKS' Celebration
ONLY SIGN Of 10Y
Miller Day" Festivities in
Striking Contrast to Gloom
of Giants ROOters.
DOTS" ENJOYS BIG DAY

In striking contrast to the gloom
which enshrouded the New York
Giants and their rooters at the Polo
Grounds, New York, yesterday at
ternoon, were the ceremonies and
celebration successfully carried out
by the Kearny Lodge of Elks in
honor of John dots" Miller. As the
pennant hopes of the Giants ebbed
away with the double defeat at the
hands of the st. Louis Cardinals, II
seemed hollow mockery when the
band. hired for the occasion, struck
up the lively airs. The Elks went
over to praise Miller-not to bury
the Giants-and while there was no
Mark Antony preset,n Exalted Ruler
Frederick A. Hartley did full justice
to the occasion in the timely speech
he made, as he presented John
Dots" with the beautiful diamond
studded gold watch fob. Mr.. Hartley
placed Miller among the country's
best citizens and furthermore wished
him continued success as a ball
player.
1t was Just before the start of the
second contest that the token was
presented to Miller. Umpire William
Klein also took part for he was
dressed in q new blue suit for the
occasion, and laying aside his official
dignity as umpire for a moment, he
introduced Mr.. Miller to the crowd.
After the official announcement, Mr..
Hartley, accompanied by His Honor
Robert e. Torrance, mayor of
Kearny, walked to the home plate.
Miller was already there with the
entire st. Louis Club around him, all
anxiously awaiting developments.
TTY,ar,ira LClaY,, uaNa Miller and his
friends plenty of time for the pres
entation, after which the fans sat
down In their seats and awaited Mil
ler's first time at bat in the second
issue. Strange to relate, Dots
failed to connect safely In the first
encouter, although his team won, 2
to 1. 1t was in the second game,
however, that his batting was o.
feature. On his initial trip to the
plate, Miller was greeted with cheers
from some 1876 fellow townsmen and
he responded with corlSing two
base slam to right field, which
brought over the first Cardinal run.
Again Miller came to bat in the sew
enth inning and once more he smote
one of Marquard's fast ones for a
dagger "Dots," however, picked
out the left field wall for his second
smash. In the ninth inning, Miller
faced Vanguard once more and in
order to display his skill in placing
hits, he banged single to centre.
Three hits and twenty-five chances
in the field without an error was
Miller's contribution to the double
Cardinal victory.
Miller was entertained by the
Kearny Elks at the Elks' Clubhouse
last night. The Cardinals will play
at the Polo Grounds today and to-
morrow

SPEED FESTIVAL
Kramer and GOullet Among
Riders Who Enjoy Fast
Workout.
GRENDA is NOW FAVORED

There was much speed on tap at
the Velodrome yesterday morning.
1t was fine morning and the riders
felt fine and they disported them
selves in a reckless manner, tossing
away great bundles of speed with
the utmost abandon. Even f. Louis
Kramer and A. Timothy Goullet, who
did an eighth of mile in thirteen
seconds fiat last Sunday. shed great
gohs of speed yesterday along with
some of those other riders who do
not get their names in the papers so
often as these young men. F. Louis
Kramer and A. Timothy Goullet were
so well pleased with themselves that
they We're afraid to come near the
track in the afternoon for fear the
magic spell that brought back their
speed might be broken.

Mcpougal, Thinking of Future.

Donald McDougall is giving con-
siderable thought to his future in the
professional class. The amateur star

able to hold his own in the short
handicap races, at least, with the

his one-third- mile record is four
fifths of a second better than the
professional mark, which is 81 fiat.
Bob Spears has tried to better both
of these records this season, but
without success, and Spears is one
of the best short distance handicap
riders in the professional ranks. Nc

discouraged with the prospect Of be-

--T-
CHANGE IN THE CONDITIONS
Twelve Boys to Be Allowed to
Start, Instead of
50 Eight.

Barringer High School and Central
High Schools cross country teams
will clash in the first annual cham
pionship run of the Newark High
School Athletic Association, Satur-
day, October 81. The date and place
of meeting was arranged yesterday
at meeting of the games commit
, tee at the city hail. AS both South
Side and East Side High Schools will
not enter a team this season, ac-
cording to the coaches of the respec-
tive schools, the fight for the cham
pionship will narrow down to a
struggle between the athletes of Bar
ringer and Central. With the idea of
having more boys become interested
In the hill and dale game, it was de-
cided to allow twelve boys to run for
a school, the first eight to count in
the scoring. This is not in accord
ance with the A. A. u. ruling which
allows eight men to compete, five of
these counting.
Branch Brook Park, which is the
home course of both the Barringer
and Central teams. will be the scene
of the cross country battle. AL
though no definite arrangements have
been made it is believed that the
start will be made at the South end
boat house. After circling the first
section of the first division of Branch
Brook Park, going by way of the
Park avenue bridge three times, it
is likely that the boys will finish
their run in front of the Barringer
school. The course is about three
and one-half miles.

field, October 6. Barringer, on this
day, was to have met Railway while
Central was to engage in battle with
