ANS AWAIT BELL
FOR INITIAL GAME
Champion Tigers to Make 1914
Bow at Home Against
Athletics.
MANAGER SMITH CONFIDENT

The fulfilling of the hope that Old
Sol Will give forth his blood warming
rays and the good ST. Swithin will
keep the rain pot from lettering, Is
all that can be required to make the
first exhibition game at Wieden-
mayors Park tomorrow afternoon.
between the Newark international
League champions and the worlds
champion Athletics, one grand sue
cess.
Judging from the Bengals' ex-
hibition tour, 1t would seem that their
chances against Connie Mack's great
combination were not so bright.
Manager Harry Smith, however, is
one of the many confident persons
who is of an opinion that his players
will make their initial 1919 bow before
local fandom with victory. That
sounds rather sweet, but should the
Tigers win, it would not be their first
victory over the Athletics. And it's
pretty safe bet that the Bengals are
going to give Mack's men a battle
every inch of the way, something the
Newarkers have done for the past
several seasons.
The Bengals will be bedecked In
new uniforms, and they ought to
make a natty appearance. The
veterans will be surely welcomed
home, while the recruits-a hearty
greeting to them, too-wlll also be
looked upon with keen eye. What
they do tomorrow will probably de-
pend upon their future here, so every
Bengal rookie Is anxious to get in the
first game.
Manager Smith has announced that
the Tigers will take the field as fol-
lows. Callahan or Witter, centre field;
Tooley or Move, shortstop; Collins,
right field; Billy Zimmerman, left
field; Eddie Zimmerman, third base.
Erhard, first base; Gus Getz, second
base; Harry Smith or Heckinger,
catcher; Sherrod Smith, AL Schacht,
Johnny Enzmann, Wyatt Lee, Ducky
Holmes or Bell, pitcher.
Connie Mack will pin his faith ON
the following members: Murphy,
right field; Oldring, left field; Collins,
second base; Baker, third base; NC
Innis, first base; Strunk, centre field;
Barry, shortstop; Schang or Thomas,
catcher, and Pennock or Wyckoff,
pitcher
The contest will begin promptly at
o'clock.

Rutt is the big magnet, and it is the
worlds champion who will draw the
crowd. Although he has never COM
peted here before on an outdoor
track, more Is known of Rutt's career
than any rider who ever inv AIDED
America. That the people are anx-
locus to see the celebrated German
athlete is shown by the record ad-
vance sale for the races. Never te-
fore in the history of the Velodrome
have the fans clamored for days in
advance for the choice seats. To
make sure of their reservation, hum
dreds Of fans have ordered their
faVorte seats for the entire season.
This is very pleasing to the promo
tiers, for Rutt is an expensive fellow,
and his appearance here is costing
them q small fortune.

The judges stand has been moved
back fifteen feet, and the lower floor
dropped to the ground, thus allowing
clear view of the finishes. This Inn
provement will be most gratifying to
the fans. A paddock has been built
opposite the home stretch, where rid
ers and trainers will be confined be-
fore the starting of their heats and
finals, and the space on the home
stretch between the track and the
fence inclosing the green has been
covered with a board walk. This will
prevent dust from rising and wi also
diminish the number of punctures
which occurred from dirt being car
ried on to the track. There are many
other minor improvements which the
fans will see at the races tomorrow.
One of them is the very substantial
guard-rail which circles the bleachers.

The meet tomorrow, from q. racing
standpoint. is sure to be interesting.
Through the efforts of the Evening
Star the cycling enthusiasts have
been kept in close touch with the do
ings of the riders in foreign lands
The fans have the game on their
finger-tips, which will give them a
fuller appreciation of the sport, and
the riders when the pastime IS re-
sumed here tomorrow. They know
what Grenda and Goulet did in Paris,
how Rutt Jared In Berlin, and they
are familiar with the fortunes of the
other riders who invaded Europe last
winter. They know how JACKIE Clark
defeated Leon Hourlier, the French
champion, and they can compare
Clark with Rutt tomorrow and, In
turn, compare the two with Hourl er,
who will be here later in the season.

The interest in Rutt is probably
not centered so much in what he win
do tomorrow as to how he will fare
with Champion Frank Kramer when
these worthless meet later in the sea-
son. OF course, they will be able to
establish a line on the foreigners
ability tomorrow and this is the very
thing Kramer's admirers are anxious
10 do and probably those who are
not supporters of the Yankee cham
pion are equally DESTROYS of ascer-
tanning Rutt's ability. And after the
races a4e over they may be fooled
at that for Rut1 IS not meeting he
riders Kramer met last year. Some
will be better while others will prob
ably be not so good. Grenda and
Goullet, who are young riders, have
improved and are stronger and faster
than ever. Bob Spears, the sensa-
tional Australian Splinter, is said to
be a much better man as a result of
changing his style of riding. Cava-
nagh's supporters are touting him as
a wonder and one who will beat them
q !, and the friends of Jackie Clara
say that THE Rocket" win be more
successful than last year, whith was
the greatest he ever enjoyed. If all
OF this IS true. then Rutt surely face
much harder task than Kramer
did year ago.

That Rutt faces hard competition
there is no doubt, but he is the class
and the wise ones feel sure that ne
is going to win. His experience has
been greater, his record surpasses
that of any of his competitors and he
has improved so steadily for fourteen
years he is sure to be as good as he
was last season when he won the
worlds championship and the Grand
Prize OF Paris ana. mayhap, he may
4e better. All Grenda seems to be
the rider who will give Rutt the
strongest opposition. In training the
fasmanian has shown great form.
His sprint is vastly improved and he
still POSSESSES his great ability as q
plugger. This is a combination that
savors of danger for any champion
Like Rutt, Grenda is as courageous
as he is big, and he will fight to the
last ditch.

In the two open events for amateurs

SCHOOL PICNICS NOW
THE POPULAR THING
Capital News Special service)

Caldwell, May 20. - Following COM
mencement comes the school picnic
season and the past week has seen sew
eral most enjoyable gatherings upon
the various green spots surrounding
the town. The fourth grade of the
Washington school went to Curtis park
Saturday and had high old time in the
basement of the Methodist church, in
consequence of pouring rain coming
on just as the youngsters reached the
park. They took the next car home
and enjoyed their goodies in town.
Thomas grove, near Middleton, was
chosen by the freshman class of the
high school as the scene of their picnic
and with an ideal day the freshes had
royal time, marred only by an acct
dent to Miss May Johnson, whose leg
was caught in some manner between
a tree and the hayrack upon which the
class was riding, inflicting an ugly
cut.
The fifth and sixth grades of the
Lincoln school went to Curtis park on
Saturday, but going early they escaped
the wetting that overlook the after
noon bunch from the Washington
school. Miss Flynn's pupils at the
same school enjoyed picnic lunch on
the school lawn on Wednesday, round
ed out by a big freezer of ice cream,
to which the little ones did full JUS
tice.
