Evening Stars New Outfield
Shines Against Paterson Call

The Evening Stars baseball team
continues to lead In the race for the
Journalistic pennant. Saturday aft
ernoon the members journeyed to Pat
erson and returned with the scalps
of the twlrlers belonging to the staff
of The Call The game was played
on Dohertys oval and resulted in a
score of seven to six.
A most interesting feature of the
game was in the appearance of the
Evening Stars new outfield This
was made up of Faction in left field,
Higgins at center and Chapman play
ing right. At the end of the per-
formance it was found that the trio
had lost, collectively, some thirty
pounds of weight
Big Bill Fitzgerald twirled for the
Star team, and Andy Sigler for The
Call. 1t was the work of the bat
terry, with Burke, jr,, catching, and
two splendid catches in the field by
Higgins, that saved the day for the
Star.
When the visitors first entered the
oval they were inclined to forfeit the
rane. There, out in the field, were
the Call men, clad in the fiossiest
kind of uniforms, tossing the ball
about careless like, picking up hot
grounders, mailing flies and acting like
big leaguers generally. However, the
Newark men plucled up their courage
and started in with the result as told
above. They were afterward enter
tanned by the members of the Call
team at Albonica's restaurant. The
urnpires were Benton, of Newark, and
Merrill. of patterson. The Call men
will play return game in Newark

Competition for Court Title

FOREST HILLS, L. l., Aug. S0.-
The opening round of the thirty-fifth
annual championship matches of the
United States National Lawn Tennis
Association will be played on the
courts of the West Side Club here
today. A field of 12s players, with
the leading experts about evenly di-
vided between the upper and lower
halves, will take the courts in re-
lays during the day, and by night
fall the sixty-four survivors will be
aligned for a series OF matches which
are expected to continue until the
early part of next weeelS, for which
the semi-f1nal and final rounds are
scheduled.
The progress OF the tournament will
be watched with great interest by
tennis players throughout the coun-
try, not only because of the title at
stake, but also owing to the fact that
this Is the first time since the insti
tuition of the series In 1881 that tho
all-comers and doubles challenge
round have been played away from
the Casino courts at Newport.

Is the scene of the national amateur
tourney, and 73 golfers qualified In
the medal play round on Saturday
These will compete again today, and
out ofSthe list will come the 80 sur
vivors, who will take up match play
tomorrow. All the big guns capo
through the first qualifying round, but
the competition today will be more
difficult. Chick Evans, the Western
star, is playing a good game, while
Ouimet and Travers played only toll

men are better at match play, and
when 1t comes down to the real test
they will be heard from. Marston
also figures to be In the running,
though the West has some pretty
nifty players besides Evans in the
tourney.
The Futurity will be run next Sat-
urday at Belmont Park. That is an

inclined &c pass UP the six-day game
and II that is so the Garden peopl,

Though It is feared that Maurice r.
Mclaughlin is not quite as good as
he used to be, the real interest in the
national lawn tennis tourney, which,
weather permitting, will open today
at the West Side Tennis Club courts,
at Forest Hills, Long Island, is CEN
tered In how this wonder Of the ten
mis- world will make out. It is be-
lieved he will show a return to his
old dashing form OF Davis cup days
and that he will subdue his opponents
one after the other. His task is a
tremendous one, for he can look ahead
and see a most worthy field "forninst"
him. There in bas relief is r. Norris
williams, his conquerer on moro than
one occasion. But Mclaughlin at his
best is the master Of Williams, and
II he is still the Mac" Of other days
he will prove 1t. The doubt about
McLoughlin has increased interest in
the tourney a hundred fold and large
crowds are sure to turn out to witness
the competition.
Driving golf balls over the fence oi

have been offered $4,000 If he had

Our whole Grand Army is living
In their country's love and pride,
Though most of the boys have
climbed life's hill
10 the camp on the other side.
Only few are left in view;
But the nations heart will cry:
'Make way. Make way.
Hats off to-day,
While the Rear Guard marches
by"
They are gray but that is a
drift of dust
From a long, long march they've
made.
They are weak and worn-but q
youthful trust
Still burns in the last brigade.
On, on they come with flag and
drum,
And the old-time echos fly
Through fifty years
And start the cheers
AS the Rear Guard marches by.
They are marching by in the road
that leads
To the last camp over the hill.
But the flag they loved and their
loyal deeds
Will stay with their country
still;
Will stay and speak, when hope
grows weak,
OF our duty great and high;
And faith will hear
The sounds draw near
OF the Old Guard marching by.

BEN TRAMP Of AUDUBON
KILLED BY RY' CAR

Audubon, la, Oct. /. Ben, f.
Tramp, aged 33 years, Junior men,
Der of the firm of l.. E. Tramp &
Tramp, manufacturers of brick and
tile and one of the leading young
business men of the city, died "a
bout 1890 this morning as the
result of being crushed beneath
the wheels of car which he, was
trying to block in the brick yard
two hours earlier in the day.
School children We're the only
witnesses to the accident, though
the position of the body when the
children summoned help, indicated
plainly what had happened. The
track on which the car had been
shunted was on a grade, and Mr..
Tramp was attempting to block it
and stop it's motion when he fell.
He is survived by his father,
and is thought to have stumbled
over this. He was thrown on the
rails just where they reach a
stone retaining wall and it was be-
cause of this that he was unable
to escape.
His body, arms and legs We're bad
ly mangled and his skull fractur-
ed so that he lived just two hours
after being picked up.
He is usrvived by his father,
Charles Tramp, also of this city
and was the youngest of five
rothers.-Nonpariel.
