EXPECT RECORDS
IN ''PRU" GAMES
Excellent Entry for Annual
Athletic Meet at 0lym-
pic Park.

| Records are expected to topple Fri
day afternoon at Olympic Park, when
the athletes of the Prudential lnsur-
ance Athletic Association gather for
their fifth annual handicap track and
field games. The "Pru" boys have
been putting In their spare time prac-
ticing at the Branch Brook Park
track. More than 150 athletes are ex-
pected to take part in the affair,
which is one of the largest of its kind
held in this city.
Forrest f. Dryden, president of the
company, will fire the gun which will
start the boys in action. A half
| holiday has been granted to the en-
ployes of the Prudential, and one of
| the largest crowds in the history of
the game Is looked for. There are
| twelve events on the program, eight
of which will be handicap affairs.
There will also be a race for veterans
who have been in the service twenty
years or more. The relay open to ath-
letes of the Insurance Athletic League
| is also expected to be one of the fea-
lures of the card. According to Rich
ard Hudson. captain of the Pruden-
tial track team, the "Pru" will not be
represented In the relay. Honors in
this race will probably go to the Met
ropolitan Insurance team. The In
surance Athletic League relay Is the
only open number on the program
Another race of interest is that sched-
uled between the women of the com
pany, who will compete in an egg and
| spoon contest.
| There are several athletes of the
Prudential who are capable of lower

other promising athlete who Is looked
upon to figure In the 220-yard dash.
AS usual, there is keen competition
among the relay teams of the various
departments. The Industrial Actuarial
team will be composed of William
Kelly, Thomas Brady, Fred Manning

pears to be the likely winner, al
| though the members are not banking
on taking the race without a stiff
! fight from the Cashiers team, which
will have on 1t Frank Lott, Edward
Cadmus. Fred Jurquis and Ray Ber-
trand, and the Loan team of Alfred

One thing Moretti can't get through
his Uranium is the way the riders
train here. I'm Berlin, in Parishes,
in Italy, too-the riders regard cycle
racing as an amusement" he said.
Everything that goes with the
racing sport is gayety. After the
races over there it is wine, grand
banquets, operas, everything that Is
gay for the riders. Here in America
bicycle racing is like work. 1t is
train, train all the time when not
racing, and L must do the same to
keep up with the Americans"
Asked If he ever competed in a
six-day race, Morett belched forth
In a tone that could not be misun-
derstood: mo; and | never shall
meaning it was too much like work.
Is an italian Reservist.
The most strenuous time Of Mo-
retti's career came when he did a
three months trick in the Italian
army. He was cast in with the
heavy artillery, to which branch of
the service he is still held as q re-
serve--at least on the records.
When it comes to actual fighting,
however, Moretti is willing to "let
deOTBe 90 IL. lie UuCheu out Oh
Italy this spring, getting over the
border by posing as a waiter on a
dining car of train bound for Paris,
whence he left several weeks ago, in
company with Ellegaard and Seres.
So far no Italian senorita has won
Morettfs heart. The heart game
isn't bothering Cesar. Just at pres
ent he is more Interested in bringing
home the bacon in some of the big
races at the Velodrome.

MORETTT IS LINGUIST AND CHEF
AS WELL AS A RACING CYCLIST
Cesar Also Biggest Star in
Cycling Firmament on
Weight Basis.
NOT VERY KEEN FOR WAR

On an avoirdupois basis, at any
rate, Cesar Moretti Is the biggest
star of the cycle racing armament.
When dressed like Adam, the Italian
champion sends the indicator of the
scale spinning around to the 205-
pound mark, and he packs considera-
BILE more luggage when he's in his
racing togs.
This Moretti heavyweight can do
other things besides riding a bicycle.
To begin with, he says he can speak
Az anguages-Italian, German.
French, Spanish and "leetle bit''
English. Besides that, friend Cesar
is some chef when it comes to pre-
pairing such delicacies as spaghetti
and goulash, and when his bicycle
racing days are over, he intends to
operate a restaurant under his own
management on the shores of Italy.
Like most big fellows of his bulk,
Moretti is possessed of a sunny, good
natured disposition. The war has not
spurred him to personal animosity.
For instance, when 1t came to Sc
lecting a trainer, Moretti simply
hitched up with Herr Herman
F'lamm, known to most of the boys
at the Velodrome as Film" Flamm.
"Flim," said Moretti to his trainer,
I'VE won't fight, though you're a
German and I'm an italian. IL we
must have war, you and I will Just
make faces at each other" and with
that the italian champion gave his
trainer a good -natured jab in the
ribs.
For that matter. Moretti has no
personal axe to grind against any
descendant of the Teutonic race. He
spent the best years of his life on
German soil, for up to the outbreak
of the war his parents resided in the
Alsatian town of Muelhausen, which
has been under fire of the French
forces from the very start OF the
European conflict. Papa Moretti con-
Quoted an italian restaurant in Muel-
hausen, and there 1t was that Cesar
gained his schooling and learned to
ride a bicycle.
Took Up Cycling in 1900.
Cesar, himself, was born on Italian
soil. That was twenty eight years
ago, his native town being Mantova,
midway between Milan and Venice.
1t was back in 1906 that Moretti
made his debut on the race track,
riding as an amateur in Berlin. The
following year he turned professional
and won many a. big race in the Ger
man capital, in Cologne, Dusseldorf,
Paris and Brussels.
Meanwhile Francesca Verri began
attracting attention as a racing cy-
clist, and there was q clamoring from
Italian fans to have Moretti and
Verri brought together Which of the
two is the better rider now remains
mooted question, but in the competi-
tion for the Italian championship III
1911 Moretti carried off the title, and
he repeated with a victory over Verri
in what was known as the Exposition
race decided in Rome.
Cesar's most successful campaign
on the track was at Geneva, Switz-
erland, in the early spring of 1914.
There he beat nearly all comers, in
cluding Hourlier, Friol, Ellegaard
and Dupuy. Finally fellow came
along and put a check to Moretti's
winning streak. The chap who ac-
complished that feat is fairly well
known in these parts. Frank Kra-
mer is his name.

MISSING TW|RLER
FOUND BY TIP TOPS
Chief Bluejacket BObs Up as
MysteriOusly as He Dis
appeared.

Jim Bluejacket, the Indian pitcher
who jumped to the Brookfeds instead
of reporting to the Giants, who had
obtained him from the bushes last
year, has been found. A month ago
the copper skinned twirler disap-
peared mysteriously, and his absence
caused much alarm. Lee Magee,
manager of the Tip-Tops, heard from
Bluejacket yesterday but did not
state where the letter came from.
The Indian pitcher says he wants
to get a crack at Bill Phillips's Peps
In the five-game series. Bluejacket
was pie and pudding every time he
pitched against the Phillips crew last
year. but his Indian heart yearns for
revenge. All will be forgiven by Man
ager Magee If Bluejacket can beat
the Pops.
As we remarked before, any team
that bucks into the Kansas City quar-
tet of pitchers-Packard, Cullop,
Main and Johnson--is not going to
initiate batting averages or win any
baseball pools. Monday Packard
shut out the Terriers. Yesterday the
same Terriers got one run off Main.
Most any club could lead a league
with that kind of pitching, an aver
age of one-half run per game.
They say that Manager Rowland,
of the Chicago White Sox, is hyp-
notist, and that he has Fournier
hypnotized into the belief that he Is
a slugger. Maybe George Stovall has
his Kawfeds under the same sort Of
hypnotic spell.
Fred Smith. sent to Brooklyn by
Buffalo, evidently will hold his job
with the Tip-Tops. He Is right
handed hitter and should plug up the
hole on the left side of the Brooklyn
infield. Yesterday he scalloped off a
home run with three on bases, pull
ing his team out of the rut and win
ming the game.
Baltimore seems to be jlnxed. The
Terrapins are losing many close
games. Their lack of speed on the
bases is about the worst fault they
have.
Miles Main. of the Packers, has
ripped off seven straight victories for
the Stovall crew.
The week day games at Washington
Park, the home Of the Tip-Tops, are
started at $3.50 o'clock. Tomorrow's
double-header between the Pops and
the Tip-Tops will be started at
p. m.
The quickest way for Newark fans
to reach the park if they wish to see
the series between Newark and
Brooklyn Is to take the subway to
Atlantic avenue and then board
surface car marked Fifth Avenue"
alighting at Third street.

Edd ROush Can Throw
Ball With Either Arm

1t is not generally known that
Bdd Roush, the talented centre
fielder of the Newark Pops, Is am
bidextrous. 1t was quite by ac-
cldent that Edd developed the knack
of throwing with either arm. Or
dinarily he uses his left arm in
throwing. Edd's home is In Oak
land City, Ind, and it was with an
Oakland City semi-pro team that he
learned to throw right handed. The
club needed a second sacker and
left handed throwing second sacker
was out Of the question. To make
matters worse, right handed mitts
for use of left handed throwers
were scarce out there and Edd had
to make up his mind to throw right
handed or not at all. He gradually
acquired the knack and while his
left arm is better than his right, he
can heave the ball no mean distance
with his right wing.

DIAMOND SPARKLES

Christy Mathewson will be unable
to pitch for many weeks. The vet
eran was examined by q nerve spe-
cialist at Chicago, yesterday, who
found that he was suffering from a
nervous disorder of the left shoulder
The trouble has begun to spread to
the right shoulder as well. So great
has been the pain that the player has
been able to sleep only a few hours
at night. Baseball men are of the
opinion that Matty Is suffering from
the same ailment which robbed Ed
Walsh of his effectiveness two years
ago. Any violent exercise makes the
trouble much worse. Accordingly tho
veteran pitcher will be obliged to
take q complete rest and regular
course of treatment.

Cup Defender Columbia to Be

sloop yacht Columbia, which twice
successfully defended the Americas
cup has been sold for $4,000 to a
restaurant proprietor here and por-
tions of her bronze hull and alumni
mum deck will be distributed as

end.
