men at Stadium High are turning
out to timber up their muscles.
and Coach Bell is already begin
ming to look out for promising
material.
The high school Will not be as
strong this year as 1t was last

winners have either graduated or
left school and the present out
look is none too encouraging.
Spike Roberts, the Splinter,
Gale Bandy, the crack hurdler,
Harry Deegan, the dash" man,
AL Crane. the phenomenal high

gone and 1t will be hard to fill
their places.
Gilbert and Henry Pringle have
been taking a little whirl at the
high jump, and both of them have

any candidates yet to speak of in

cas- pride and hope for retaining
the golfing honors which the
youngster Ouimet won from those
seasoned veterans, Vardon and
Ray, at Brookline last year, were
to sail from here today for the
British Isles. In the party are
Ouimet, Max r. Marston, Helm

st. Andrews in 1913; and Arthur
G. Lockwood. Jerome ID. Trav-
ers and Frederick Hereshoff, of
Garden City, twice runner up for

and once metropolitan title-hold-
er, sailed two weeks ago. These
six and possibly more will all tee
up at Sandwich when the coming
British-American golf conflict
opens. 1t was thought probable
among golfing circles here today
that Charles Evans, jr., may
change his plans and find IL pos

will be on the firing line at Sand

FORMER BEAVER NOW A star

SAN FRANCISCO, March 26.
Louis Sepulveda, kid catcher
of the San Francisco baseball
team and the receiving member
of the pony battery of Arlett and
Sepulveda. plays ball from pref
erence rather than necessity.
Sepulveda, as matter of fact, is
the millionaire kid of the Coast
league and instead of risking the
chances of suffering a few base
ball fingers" could spend all his
life in ease and affluence. The
Sepulvedas, who are of Spanish
extraction, live in San Pedro, har-
Dor port of Los Angeles, and
Sepulveda ST., is credited with
owning good share of the coun-
try thereabouts. Also Louis,
who is boy of 20, has much
property in his own name and
when he is at home sports high
powered automobile.
He passed through the San Pc
dro high school, all right, and
then the lure of baseball caught
him. His first professional ex-
perience was with the Vancouver
club. from which team he was
purchased by San Francisco. Last
year his attention was chiefly de.
voted to warming the bench. This
year it's going to be a different
story. There is only one thing
that Louis regrets. Il WISH" he
said, that I had entered college
instead of plunging into baseball
right off the bat"
Although the playing season
has not yet opened, Sepulveda al
ready is being hailed as the
greatest catcher ever developed
on the Pacific coast and when the
drafts are put in Mgr. Del How
ard feels confident that the boy
will be among those called to the
big brush.

BIG SPECIAL

BY HUGH 8. FULLERTON

HOT SPRINGS, Ark. March
28.-Fred Clarke thinks that If !
pick the Pirates to win the Ma
tional league pennant the Pirates
will be linked down into the sec
ond division. Therefore, we must
be content to say that the Pirates
look to be strong contenders.
Clarke, by making the most
spectacular trade of recent base
ball history, has cleaned his team
of clashing elements, and he has
In the field a fierce hitting in.
field; a pitching staff that does
not seem as strong on paper az
that of last spring, but Is now a
working staff; catching staff
above major league average, and
an experimental outfield.
Let US examine the infield, the
real strength of the team. Ko.
netchy at first was for years rated
among the best, and this season
away from the Cards, and inspir-
ed with new ambition, he prob.
ably will come into his own. VioX
at second has all the earmarks OF
a conner.
Wagner Is the chief strength
You who have figured Honus as
gone back guess again. The am
bition of Wagner's life Is to quit
while at the climax of his career.
He reported this spring lighter
and better than in three seasons.
Then there Is Mike Mowrey at
third. For ten years Mike has
suffered from stomach trouble
form of nervous dyspepsia. He
claims he is entirely cured. He
looks better, and is faster than
he has been In several years.
That veteran infield is to be
thanked by a makeshift outfield.
Carey will be one, and probably
the two slashing youngsters, Jim
Kelley and George Watson, will
fill the places vacated by Clarke
and Leach. Jim Kelley looks a
corking outfielder. Joe Kelly
from st. Joe, is promising. Mike
Mitchell is there to fill In any po-
sition il the youngsters slip. Add
to that Ham Hyatt, who can hit
with the best. OF them, but never
can play any position we'll enough
to Gust the regular, and it looks
good enough.
Gibson may or may not be
great this year. He was the best
in the land one season, slumped
miserably the nexs, then met with
an accident that stopped him just
when he was going strong. Cole
man is the second-string catcher;
Brennigan ffbm Norfolk, Wait, a
st. Louis semi-pro, and Kafore, a
Chicago youth, are the other
eatchers.
Babe Adams Cooper, McQuil.

PROGREss|vES
WILL SUPPORT
CANNON HERE
Edgar Says Nothing Doing"
With QuaCkenbuSh or
QuaCkenboss and Leaders
Here Say 1t is Not Conger.

Most of the Progressive voters in
the county will probably support Ber-
nard M. Cannon, the Democratic
candidate for county clerk, according
to statements of prominent Progress
i've (Roosevelt) men here. Contrary
to an alleged false impression Gre
ated in New Brunswick yesterday
with the announcement of the candi-
dacy of William H. Quackenbush, a
Madison township farmer, as the pro-
gressive Republican candidate, it is
emphatically denied by Progressives
that Mr.. Quackenbush is their candi-
date.
Mr.. Quackenbush, the progressive
Republican candidate for county
clerk, whose petition was filed at
the eleventh hour Monday, is a
nephew of Walter G. Quackenbush,
a contractor in this city. He is run
ming as an independent Republican,
the regular G. o. P. nominee for the
Office being John H. Conger. The
fact that Mr.. Quackenbush appeared
in the Office of j. A Edgar, the
county Progressive chairman, on
Monday, gave rise to a false rumor
that he was the Progressive (Roose-
velt) candidate. Mr.. Edgar wished
1t impressed upon the voters today
that Mr. Quackenbush was not en-
dorsed by any Progressives. On the
contrary, Mr.. Quackenbush appear
ed in his Office only to have his pc
tition signed and the Progressive
chairman refused to sign it.
Mr.. Edgar said he was not in a
position to say who Progressives
would support for the county clerk
position, since William H. Quacke1-
boss had withdrawn as the Progress
sive nominee to become the indie
pendent Democratic candidate. He
stated that he had been busy and
handicapped by illness, for which
reasons he had not been about sufi.
GENTLY to learn of the sentiment
along that line. When told of the
reports here that Progressives would
support the regular Democratic can.
didate, Mr.. Edgar said he could make
no statement as he did not know
what their attitude was.
1t is generally believed among men
interested in politics that William
H. Quackenbush became candidate
for the sole purpose OF offsetting
whatever damage William H. Quack-
enboss might do to the regular
Democratic candidate Mr.. Quacken-
bush's name will Immediately follow
that of Mr.. Quackenboss on the bal
lot and voters will have to exercise
care in distinguishing one name
from the other.

AUTOS To CONVEY
.WATERWAyME
. ON INSPECTION
Plans Completed by Harbor
Commission Yesterday-To
Use Abel Hanson'S Yacht
and Make Start from Here.

Plans were practically completed
for the inspection of the proposed
New Jersey ship canal from Morgan
on the Raritan bay to Bordentown on
| the Delaware river, at the meeting of
the New Jersey Harbor Commission
at Trenton yesterday. A number OF
applications were received for the
erection and repairing of docks In
the vicinity of Camden and along the
New York bay, but none was received
from this district.
| w. Parker Runyon, of this city, a
member of the state body, has COM
plete charge of the canal project for
the board as the proposed water
route would extend through his dis
trict. Mr.. Runyon, at whose sug-
gestion the trip is to be made, has ar
ranged nearly all the details of the
inspection tour. By soliciting aid
from local automobile owners, who
have freely responded, Mr.. Runyon
expects to secure enough machines
for the use of the party and thereby
save the state probably $500 9or
transporting the national, state and
local officials. There will probably
be thirty automobiles and more thaR
100 persons in the distinguished
party.
They will assemble at the city dock
in this city at $50 o'clock Friday
morning, October 16, and will board
the yacht Corona" which has been
proffered by Abel Hanson. The
party will cross the Raritan bay to
the mouth of the Cheesequake creek
and inspect the proposed mouth OF
| the canal They will return to this
city on the yacht, within about an
hour, and then board the waiting au-
! tomobiles, to cross the state. The
party will follow the mapped line OF
| the canal as closely as possible, as 1t
! has been monumented by the survey
ors, and stop at the Railroad Hotel,
Hightstown, for lunch. Mr.. Runyon
expects the party to reach Borden
town by O'Clock, where they Will
disband, the officials going to their
respective homes.
The object of the trip, Mr.. Runyon
declares, is entirely for the purpose
of familiarizing with the subject
state and national officials, who Will
finally be called on to act in appro-
priating money for the construc-
ton of the canal. Mr.. Runyon said
that the state in 1911 promised to
secure the right 'of way for the ca
nal If the government would build
it. The right Of way is estimated
to cost 100000 However, Mr..
Runyon favors In gaining the right
of way to purchase a strip of land
one mile wide In anticipation OF the
/ expansion of the waterway. In that
case 1t would cost the state a con-
! siderable larger sum than 100000.
| Among those expected to be in the
party Of inspection are the follow
ing: Governor Fielder. Secretary
Hermann, the state treasurer, the
state comptroller, the two United
States senator's from New Jersey,
the New Jersey congressman, the
engineer, secretary and members of
the state and local harbor commits
sions, the joint appropriating COM
mittee Of the legislature and other
invited guests.

One of the biggest features at the
closing benefit performance at the
Ditmas playhouse tonight will be the
appearance of Recorder H. e. Pick
ersgill in one Of his humorous mono
logues. The judge is noted for his
ability to bring out laughs. He has
entertained large audiences both
here and elsewhere about the coun-
try. Mr.. Pickersgil1 will appear on
the Dttmas stage at $3.50 o'clock to-
night.
Sales of confectionery donated by
Manager w. G. Healy, of the Wool
worth five and ten-cent store here,
together with those of flowers were
exceptionally large Monday and last
night. Likewise were sales extensive
at the moneys worth counter,
where ten-cent articles were sold.
Mr.. Healy has agreed to donate all
OF the products, with the exception
Of flowers, that are sold 1t is ex-
pected that the sales at the closing
event tonight will exceed those Of
the previous nights, so that a round
sum will be realized.
Outlook Encouraging.
Although $110 was turned over to
Secretary Lipscomb by the teams
Monday night, yesterdays collections
amounted to only $35. The outlook
is encouraging, however, since from
the indications fourteen out OF the
twenty teams have been working and
1t is said that a number of these will
make an endeavor to clean up the
balance due on the pledges they Sc
cured before the meeting Monday
night. The social committee met last
night and made arrangements to
escort visitors through the building
during the public inspection Satur-
day.
