Presbyterian Minister Dis plays Deep Emotion at
 Funeral of Friend.

Rev. J. I. Norris, close neighbor,
 intimate friend and associate of John Finley Hut, preached the funeral ser mon yesterday afternoon, over the
 body of his friend, and with tears bedimming his own eyes, draw tears from the eyes of all the large ccngre- gation at the First Methodist church, when he told of the many charming and lovable qualities of the dece eased.
 Dr. Norris did not preach, as the word is generally understood. He spoke naturally. internally, in con yersational3 tone, but he spoke ser mon which reached into the heart and which was the more impressive because of it's apparent informality He dwelt principally upon the fact that 60 many of the little boys of Pint

The past week In the college base
ball world has been one of upsets.
Listed among the more important
ones are the defeat of Neyland at
the hands of Fordham, breaking his
record of twenty consecutive wins
and incidentally stopping the Army;
two reverses for the fast-going Yale
nine at the hands of Dartmouth and
williams, and two defeats for Prince
ton, administered by Cornell and
Williams. The sensational work of
the williams team, in defeating both
Yale and Princeton. was the most
notable event of the week. aside from
Fordham's feat on Saturday In
checking Neyland and the Army.
Neyland, the Army moundsman,
tasted defeat for the first time in two
years Saturday, when Fordham beat
him.. And the New York boys did
not handle him with kid gloves.
They gave the cadet a reception that
was far from being in keeping with
his illustrious record. Fordham
pounded him for twenty hits and
sixteen runs. A hit Is hit, and
twenty hits Is bad drubblng for
any pitcher. but when q team COM
bines nine errors with this swatfest,

tain to be the result. At the same

of the cadets, allowing them but five
hits.
At present Gerhardt, Army third
baseman, has worked his way to the
top in the race for the college bat
ting honors. making twenty-five hits
out of forty-eight times at bat, for
an average Of .457. Last week "Dick'

of course. Two watches caught
Kramer for that ono-lap ride. One

seconds. With a fast dry track
Kramer will likely hang up q new
mark.
A great bulk OF cycle records have
been made at Salt Lake City. where
the air 10 high and the riding good.
Alfred Goullet has two records for q
mile, both of which he made at the
Salt Lake track, one against time,
July !, 1912, and another September
8, 1912, the latter being In q handicap
affair. Goullet's record for mile
In the handicap race was 1;47 min
utes s-5 seconds. and against time he
did i;51.
Ever since Oscar Egg has been in
this city he has been pestering Man
ager Chapman for q chance to try
for a one-mile record. He will have
his chance Wednesday night to topple
Goullet's figures, Those who have
seen Egg perform can Judge for
themselves that he is In the best OF
condition. He never shirks practice
and appears rather confident that he
will be able to make new figures for
the mile.

MANAGER PHILLIPS RELEASES
THREE PLAYERS TO FEDS FARM

Before leaving for Pittsburgh last
night Manager Bill Phillips, of the
Pops, cut into his squad by releas-
ing three of his surplus players to
the Hartford club of the Colonial
League--the Feds farm. The players
who were sent out for more season.
ing are Pitchers Fred Trautman and
Harry Billiard and Outfielder Gilbert
Whitehouse.
Trautman has the earmarks ofs
conner and gives promise of develop
ing, but there was no chance for him
in Newark with nine other twirlers
on the bench. Harry Billiard is no
longer a youngster, but he should
pitch winning ball for the Hartford
team. AS to Whitehouse he is still
too raw for fast company, and the
chance to get into the game regu-
larly at Hartford is much more valu-
able to him than the development he
might get in the few chances he would
have here in Newark.
The three have chance of getting

some talk of young first baseman
named Jack Quinn coming here from
Lynn. Quinn is said to be % future
star and has been carrying on nego-
tiations with Manager Phillips for
some time. IL Quinn should prove a
star at the hot corner Emil HUM
would be used behind the bat to re-
lleve Bill Rariden occasionally, and
one of the other eatchers would be
sent down to the Feds auxiliary cir
cult.
HUM was taken along with the
Pops last night, as his ankle is mend
ing nicely, and 1t is expected that he
will be back in the game very
shortly.

AVERAGES PROVING
STANDARD OF FEDS
Little Difference in the Hitting
Records of Independents
and Regulars.

Perhaps the Feds may use a more
lively ball than their rivals; perhaps
their pitchers are not as good: per-
haps they are better hitters than the
other fellows. Well. the averages in
dicate very little difference In any
way between the American, Federal
and National. There are the same
number hitting around 400; the same
number batting above $50, and the
record on the whole shows that there
must be very little difference between
the calibre of ball played in the three
big leagues.

VIII Use -Four Pitchers.

Manager Whoa Bill Phillips has
not made any plans for his cam
paign here so far as the use of any
particular pitchers is concerned. 1t
is certain that he will use Kaiserling
and Falkenberg. From now on tndi-
cations are that he will use four of
his twirlers regularly, and the trick
should prove beneficial to the Peps.
Moseley, Falkenberg, Kaiserling and
Moran will do the heavy pitching
work, while Mullin, Reulbach and the
otherPep mound artists will be held In
reserve. The Pops left Newark with
three less players, two of their pitch
ers having been cut off, and this
brings the staff down to eight men.
Trautman and Billiard are gone,
leaving Brandon as the chief emer-
cency finger against right-handed
hitting clubs, and Charley White

Whales. Unfortunately for the Oakes
combination they were beaten that
day, but another good crowd came
out Saturday. and again the Rebels
lost. The attendance at the game
here Friday was the biggest of the
season for a week day. The Pirates
have drawn nothing like it and the
Rebels, realizing that their work is
appreciated and the Importance of
keeping up the classy brand of base
ball they have been playing, are also
on their tiptoes to hurl back the
