STATE TITLE GOES
TOPATERSON ELKS
Defeat Newark in Champion
ship Baseball Game at
Long Branch.

The Paterson Lodge of Elks cap
tured the New Jersey State Elks
baseball title at Long Branch yes
terday afternoon administering de-
feat to the Newark Elks Lodge nine
by the score of 5 to /. The contest
was finished in darkness and was
called by the umpire in the first half
of the ninth inning, after the Pat
erson nine had scored three runs with
only one man out.
The Silk City team at first refused
TO meet the Newark players, alleging
that the locals lineup included ring
ers." After considerable discussion.
however, the Paterson men agreed to
play with the understanding that the
cup emblematic of the State cham
pionship, was to be held If Newark
had won the game. But it didn't so
the trophy is now the property of the
Passaic county representatives, who
have not been beaten by an Elks'
baseball team in the last six years.
Billy Zimmerman. of the Newark In
ternational League Club, was one of
the local performers.

CLARK AND MORETTI GIVE
SAD BIRDS" FINE CHANCE

Moretti affair seems to be for Clark.
That Is because the italian Is so much
larger than Jackie, but the Clark
sympathizers do not know the whole
story. Jackie is "roughster" of no
mean order, and he can hold his own
in that department. of the game. But
Clark's work is of most tantalizing
nature. Jackie has a trick of getting
even with a rider after a race is over,
and the way he does it gets the
goats of even his own countrymen.
When Moretti beat Clark in match
race at Brighton Beach not long ago
Clark, in the second heat, continued
to sprint after the tape was crossed,
and deliberately cut in front of Mo-
retti as the Italian was slowing down.
The "cut" was unexpected and Mo-
retti almost fell.
After Clark lost to Goullet and Rutt
in their three-cOrnered match at the
Velodrome he cut across the path
of Rutt and Goullet after the finish
and almost threw both of them. Rutt
crouched as low as he could on his
wheel and closed in as near as pos
sible to Goullet. AS he went by Clark
bumped Rutt and Rutt bumped Goul-
let, and the latter was showed on the
fiat while still going at such speed
he almost fell. When Clark went by
Goullet in the final Of the Strangers
Prize Sunday he "cut" Goullet so
sharply the latter was forced on to
the last board on the banking and
almost fell when his left pedal struck
the running board. However, Clark
Is no worse than the others, and they
could all improve their tactics on the
track. The athletes of 1914 are not
to be compared with the athletes of a
decade ago. and this goes even in
tennis, which is supposed to be the
sport of the classes. Brooks, the Aus
tralain tennis player on the Davis cup
team, gave as good an exhibition OF
poor sportsmanship as was ever wit
messed on q bike track, and he was
mad enough to wallop some one In
the doubles at Forrest Hills.
II Fighting is almost an everyday oc-
currence in baseball, yet there are
few baseball writers who rave with
the pen over the rowdyism on the ball
field. And there Is football in the
highbrow colleges. Do they fight?
Well, in most big games they slug
from start to finish, and there is
many an open fight, too, yet the devo-
tees of the plgskin pastime continue
to flock to the games. and as fast as
the big colleges can raise the money
they are building larger stands.

Boston has a golden opportunity to-
day to gain some more ground on the
Giants. for the Braves are scheduled
twice with Philadelphia at home,
while the New York team is playing
with Brooklyn at the Polo Grounds
The Braves again came through with
victory yesterday, taking two out
of three in the series with McGraws
men. This makes five victories out
of the last six games the Hub club
has played against the Giants.
Rube Marquard was the victim of
Bill James, the victor in the perfor-
nance which was staged yesterday.
The attendance yesterday at the city
of culture was $4,000, and President
James Gaffney declared that 100000
fans paid to see the three contests
played in the three days. 1t was a
lucky thing for the Braves that Pres
ident Joe Lannin, of the Boston Amer
leans, so kindly gave his rivals per-
mission to use the speciouS Fenway
Park on big occasions.
The Braves got to Marquard early,
and there was little doubt after the
first four rounds had been played as
to which way the victory would go.
James was wild, issuing seven passes,
but he was steadier in every way
than Marquard. who was charged
with his eighth straight defeat.
A glance at the schedule of the
Giants and the Braves shows the
Giants have the better of 1t, inasmuch
as they wind up at home, while the
Braves finish on the road at New
York and Brooklyn. AS the Dodgers
have always been trouble-makes this
season, the Stallingsites, backed by
the fact that the Braves must meet
their two worst enemies away from

Newark was unable to hold the

LEE PITCHES THE VICTORY

PROVIDENCE. R. L, Sept. 9.-An
even break with the Providence team
yesterday enabled Newark to put a
crimp in the losing streak, after the
champions had dropped seventeen in
a row. Wyatt Lee, the veteran south
paw, who is Newark's emergency
man, got credit for the victory, while
the defeat went to Mattern in the
second game, Eddie Zimmerman had
charge of the team, as Harry Smith
returned home. The first battle was a
closely contested affair For the first
time the Tigers showed some life and

the Tigers to hold the fort.

Clarence Kraft was the big sticker
in the first game. He showed a flash
of that old-tlme form, and batted out
two triples and single. It was his
pair Of three-base smashes that put
the Tigers in the way of winning the
game. In the second round Lee got
away badly, and three runs were
scored on him, through a combination
of clean hitting and an error by
Tooley. Newark got going in the
fourth inning. Witter walked, but was
forced by Callahan, who stole after

across with a fine, healthy swat for
three bags. scoring Callahan. Sherrod

doubled, sending home Kraft.

Egg TO Meet Grenda.

GEk 10 mttt OTenua.
Oscar Egg, of Switzerland, will ride
his first race tonight, and his oppon-
ent will be none other than Grenda
They will ride an unlimited pursuit
race, and in Grenda, the hardy young
Swiss will meet one of the greatest
pursuit race riders in the world. But
two riders have ever trounced
Grenda in unlimited pursuit races,
and they are Goullet and the disabled
Reggie Mcnamara. If Egg is the
winner tonight he will meet Goullet
and Mcnamara later in the season.
Egg has a great record and in Eu-
rope he is looked upon as one of the
greatest riders in the world. He is
only youngster, compared with the
rest OF the professionals, and has had
but little experience. He can hardly
be said to be seasoned rider as yet,
but he has done more than many vet
Grams of the first division. Egg is a
high class fellow and we'll educated.
He is a college bred man and was
employed as a designer after leaving
college by the famous Panhard auto
mobile manufacturers in France. 1t
was while employed in the Panhard
factory that Egg rode his first bike
race. He won his first race, which is
known as the Sevres road race, the
race starting and f1nlShing in the town
of Sevres, where the famous Sevres
vases are made.
Won on Sheer Endurance.
A novice, Egg knew nothing about
the game, and he won by sheer en-
durance That was in 1910, and he
was just twenty years old. That same
year Egg captured four other rather
important road events. The following
year, unable to withstand the wan
derlust lure, Egg gave up hts position
and rode as q professional. He start
ed and finished the great tour of
France and made a very creditable
showing against such tried veterans
as Petit-Breton, Brocco, the Georgets
and others who have competed In the
race for years. Egg led on three sue
cessive etaphs, or relays, which is
most unusual performance. The tour
of France is something like 5000 miles
in distance. That same year Egg es-

Worlds Title Finalists to Clash
in Derby Revenge Semi
Final.
EGG TO RIDE FIRST RACE
Swiss cyclist Has Hard Task
Ahead to Defeat Aft
Grenda.

Champion Frank Kramer will make
hard try to go through his worlds
championship performance again to-
night. 1t seems kind of tough to
ask him to do 1t all over again, but
the old Master" never was "one-
nght-stander" and he is probably
equal to the occasion. The world S
championship will be run over again
ana the race tonight is called the
Worlds Derby Revenge. 1t will have
the same riders as were in the semi
finals Of the title race, but the bat
ting order will be changed.
General MacFarland has placed
Kramer, ALI Goullet and Cesar Nor
ETH in the same heat. These are the
riders who rode of the final for the
title, and but one of them will be In
the final tonight as 1t is winners only
who will go in the final of the Re-
venge. In the first heat of the race
Walter Rutt, Jackie Clark and liver
Lawson will meet, and in the second
heat Bill Bailey, the English cham
pion; ALI Grenda and Bob Spears
will clash The third heat is the Kra-
r-Moretti-Goullet heat.
Rutt Delighted.
The Encouragement of the heats will

and Grenda. Grenda complained when
he was put in the same semi-final of
the title race with Kramer and
wanted the semi-final changed, de-
claring that he had no chance against
Kramer, but that he stood fine
chance OF winning either of the other
two semi-flnals. He will have a
chance to prove that assertion to-
night. Rutt is delighted that he will
not have to meet his nemisis, Goullet,
in his heat Goullet put Rutt out of
the final of a number of big races
this season and seemed to have the
Indian sign" on the former world S
champion. The hoodo may be broken
now, however, for Rutt gave Goullet
a good beating in the final of the
Strangers Prize on Labor Day.
The Revenge will be a good race; of
that there is no doubt, and the heats,
as well as the final, will produce keen
competition. The third heat, with
the three finalists of the. champion
ship doing battle again should be a
corker. The rail BIRDS are picking
Kramer, Rutt and Bailey for the
final
