ORANGE HIGH TEAM WINS BATTING BEE Fifth Inning Proves Fruitful to Successful Players in Battle With Newark Academy. MIGHTY HIT BY CONKLIN Heavy stick work was the reigning feature of the game yesterday at Academy Field between Newark Academy and Orange High School. The Orangeites were outhlt by the Red and Black team, but regis tered a 12 to 10 victory. Conklin, the first Academy pitcher. hit one of Pfeiffer's benders over the right Held fence in the second inning, a feat which had not been executed since the days of Roger Haina n, the old Acad emy pitcher, who Is now with the Hartford team. The Irregularities of the Academy Field diamond made the fielding of the players similarly irregular, and errors contributed to both teams' total. Gathering ru - runs in the first and four more In 'f fourth inning, Acad emy looked . » due for a win until the Orange .ntsiniths combined hits and errors in the fifth session, ten tallies coming across the pan. To this Orange added another brace of counts In the seventh. Academy started a rally in the ninth, but it was good only for two runs. The score: N’W'K ACADEMY. OIIANGE H. S. R.H.K. R H E.

Champion Kramer was all smiles this morning as friends greeted him as the big ocean grey hound Mauretania swung into her dock. The Yankee champion looked | like a ten-time winner and was i as happy as a boy at marble time. I He was kind to everybody, and he ! was even kind to those who have been contemptibly unkind to him. He talked freely of his European visit, and said It was the greatest of his i foreign trips. His happiest moment | In many moons, he said, was when he got his first glimpse of the Statue of j Liberty. He almost cried with Joy, he said, he was so tickled to see the "Old Girl'’ again. Kramer called at the Evening Star office to pay his respects to some of the boys with whom he is very friendly. He is still the champion of old, and he is happy to be back, and his friends, who are going to give a banquet in his honor at the Krueger Auditorium tomorrow night, are de lighted to be In a position to pay him homage. The dinner, by the way, is an assured success, reports to the contrary notwithstanding. Covers will be laid for about 70ft, and John M. Lederer, the caterer, has kindly extended the limit of kime for those who may want to attend the Kramer nffalr until tonight at 8 o'clock. So. come on, boys, go up to the Krueger Auditorium and meet Kramer, the greatest cyclist in the world and the man who hus put the city of Newark and the State of New Jersey on tho map over in Europe. Kramer has earned his honors well, and there ought to be 1,000 persons to greet him at the dinner tomorrow night. Hike fans, you have until tonight at 8 o’clock to make good. How about you? The first man to greet Kramer was Frank Mthlon, his employer and his friend. They had breakfast together after the ship had landed. Others to greet the champion were Matthew L. O'Brien, chairman of the celebration committee, and Harry F. Beldon and Edwin G. Koenig, Mr. 0’Br!<’n’s team mates; Floyd MaeFarland, Charles W. Johnson and Howard Freeman. Kramer said he had heen treated roy nlly abroad, hut he said he certainly enjoyed the picture postal cards to the number of about 500 which had been mailed to him by friends and admirers. Kramer said he wished to thank those who had remembered him so kindly through the Newark Evening Star. In talking about his races on the other side, Kramer said the man who had given him the hardest race was Polledrl. the Italian. The champion met Polledrl In the semi-final of the [ Enster Prize. Kramer declared that Polledrl was a much Improved rider, nnd admitted that the Italian had given him all he wanted. The cham pion said he was not sure whether he would meet Walter Rutt In a week's time. "I will not meet him until I am fit," Kramer said, “and I will not know whether I nm fit until a week yet." However, he promised Man ager MaeFarland to let him know whether he would race Rutt on May 3, next Tuesday. Kramer sa'.d he was riding faster now than at any time during his career. And that Is going some, we remarked. He said that Bill Bailey Is a good man. and he will be a better one before the present season Is over. Bailey wants to come to this country, Krnmer said, and he sent over a prop osition with the champion. Jack Ne ville, Kramer's trainer, did not come on the same boat with the champion. Jack will arrive tomorrow on La Provence, Kramer said, and this was necessitated because Neville had to wait and bring over five new French bicycles with which the champion ex pects to burn up the track this sum mer. But the best story Is the story told of how Kramer greeted the Statue of Liberty. It Is told in this manner: When the giunt Mauretania steamed slowly up the harbor this morning leaving behind a cloud of heavy black smoke, which shut from view everything In her wake, there stood upon her forward deck a young man anxiously scanning the sea und landscape before him. Coming nearer and nearer gradually the blue haze marking the skyline of New York gave way to a more defined outline of the famous buildings of Gotham. When the green of Gov ernor's Island and the soldiery, with their shining rifles, were sharply fo cused to the naked eye, the young man turned, and, casting his eyes to the left* removed his hat, displaying a shock of curly, straw-eolored hair. He bowed reverently. Then a smile —a smile of Joy and deep apprecia tion—crept over his features, und his strong chin protruded beyond thu outline of his deep chest. That young man was Frank L. Kramer, and that moment was the greatest In his career. It was the one moment of all moments that Frank Kramer will never forget. Kramer had saluted the Statue of Liberty, his smile was for the Statue of Liberty and his body tingled with the same sensation so many other Americans have experienced when, upon reaching their Journey's end from a foreign shore, that silent fig ure of bronze has welcomed them back to dear old Yankeeland. There were tears of Joy In Kramer’s eyes as the big liner slowly nosed her way through the choppy little sea of the harbor, leaving old Liberty behind and enveloped in a curl of smoke. The end of the Yunkee athlete's final trip across the Atlantic was almost at an end and h# was overcome with > I the Joy at knowing that he was home and home to stay. Inside of his coat ; pocket there was a contract with ln ' vitlng terms for another engagement l.i Europe, but Kramer Is through for all time with the adulation and the honor which have been extended j to this great athlete in the countries of the continent. The Joy of further J triumphs abroad with the ac.com ! panying fortunes no longer hold any 1 fascination for the champion cyclist. He is through with Europe for all time. —o—* "Gee, but I'm glad to see somebody I know," exclaimed Kramer, when j Chairman O'Brien clambered up tho shaky rope ladder. 'T've made my last trip to Europe," the champion said, "and all the money in the world will not Induce me to go there again. I was treated royally in every coun try In which I competed," continued Kramer, "and I must say that the French. Belgian and Swiss people are great sportsmen. I defeated all their champions and they seemed to like me for it—at least, that was the way it appeared by the enthusiastic man ner in which they received my vic tories. I am back home to stay this time," the champion continued, with an occasional look to the eaet, “and if I ever cross the ocean again it will be on a mission far more pressing than the beating of a lot of bike rid ers. In the future, I will leave the conquest of Europe to the other boys." That Is Kramer to a dot. He Is a big champion and all that, hut he has much sentiment In his make-up. He was triumphant abroad, but he would rather be at home and win fewer honors. He longed for East Orange, for his home, for his friends, who are many, and for his admirers, who are leglcn. Now he is home to enjoy them all, to enjoy the celebra tion and dinner in his honor tomor row night and to again, later on, give the best there is in him as a cyclist, at the famous old bike track up In Vailsburg. To Kramer, good luck, I say. ai d may his success never grow less. He is bigger today than over and he hns been a champion thirteen years. Again, I say, good luck to him! Jackie Clark is said to be in very good shape for that long-distance race at the Velodrome next Sunday, ' and not a few of the wiseacres are | picking him to win. Alt Goullet, too, j is said to be going fast and strong, and "Old Hoss” Urenda will take a lot of beating after the journey of some sixty-two and one-half miles. Walter Rutt, as everybody knows, is a “bear" in long-distance grinds, so if all these stars are in at the finish we are sure to see a strenuous strug gle for the tape. This 100-kilometer race, which has numerous intermedi ate points and prizes for the fortu nate ones, was arranged by Floyd A. MarFarland, the general manager, with the idea of giving the boys a hard workout and producing a con test In which stamina, as well as speed, will figure. A few years ago Clark was always a favorite In a long race, and after his victory last Sun day he is again a hot choice for the big event. The favorite, however, is Rutt, with Goullet and Grenda hav ing a large following. The Chicago Feds opened to 30,000 fans yesterday, so report hnn it. The Feds, by the way have had big open ings all along the line, The cruelest blow came in Baltimore, where the Orioles arc drawing tiles and the Ter rapins are drawing thousands. How long this will last is terrible to con template. President Barrow was crestfallen when lie flaw the opening dny crowd. He went down to Balti more expecting to see at leaRt 10,000. His eyes fell on about 2,000 fans. He was sick, no doubt, yet he is still op timistic. He declares the Interna tional Longue will survive and event ually prove the winner. It is a hope ful way of looking at u dubious situ ation. ■—O— Baseball rules that were held sacred years ago mean nothing now. War time rules prevail, instead. The rule limiting clubs to 25 players after 25 has been flet aside by the National Commission and now the clubs can have all the men they want hanging around and drawing salaries. The Feds have caueed a lot of tears to be shod and the war is still a baby. -O The Federal League Is ulmost cer tain to make one or two changes in its circuit before the season is over. Kansas City is too far off the line and Buffalo is only a minor league bull town. Detroit is being mentioned as a possible home for the Feds and some quiet work is going on to in duce the “outlaws” to come to New ark. —O — The fans are going to get a lot for their money this season. Double headers will lie played whenever per mtssable. The first of these will take place Sunday when Montreal comes here for a series Throughout the season we will have plenty of double headers, which should delight the fanB very much. Besides being a comedian of much fun, A1 Schaeht 4s a Pitcher of con siderable skill. Only a youngster, Schaeht is showing great promise this season and he pitched a pretty game yesterday against the Roehes ters. Ho seems to have everything that a twirler desires, but he lacks about another year’s experience. He is ambitious and he Is sure to succeed and many well wishes will go with him, for Al Is very popular with his team-mates. His Victory yesterday was decidedly pleasing. Irish Mahon is so sure that he will defeat Banty Lewis In their ten-round fight at Bill Brown’s Gymnasium in New York next Tuesday jilgbt that he has told Tom Messeng%fiJ|p man WHEN CHAMPION KRAMER SAWTHESTATUt 01 l ager, to go ahead and match him against some other good boy as soon as possible. Mahon also says he Is in great condition and that he will weigh about 122 pounds on the night of the battle. He expects to win de cisively and he declares he is going tc make the milling very fast. Those who are well posted on local pugilistic afTairs seem to think that Mahon will beat Lewis. Irish is too clever and can hit too hard, they say, for Ranty, and the opinion prevails that Mahon will carry off the honors. That is the talk around town. —O As far as followers are concerned, Lewis has the edge on Mahon. Ranty Is a popular little fellow, and the Ramblers, a large and enthusiastic organization, have a soft spot for their pugilistic member. He is also a favorite with the members of the Madi.son A. A., another very progres sive club. Mahon is an old member of the Ramblers and he has a few friends among them, but Lewis is the white-haired boy. Around town, too, Banty is popular, and he will have a whole lot of fellows pulling for him when he fights Mahon. The battle should be the best be tween little fellows that has been fought around for years. It should be more strenuous than the Lewls Boonton contest and that was some lively affair. Boonton, of course, lacked the experience, but he put up a great losing fight. With Mahon, It will be different, for here Is a boy who has been through the ropes so often that he knows the game just about ns well as the next one. In everything but aggressiveness, Ma hon seems to have It on Lewis, but Banty Is so fast and so willing that he is sure to keep Irish busy for awhile at leaBt. Mahon has the punch and he Is clever, too. He will be a few pounds lighter than Lewis, and he can make 118 pounds, he tells me, In a pinch, but he says he Isn't a bit worried over the fact that Banty will weigh 125 pounds. Mahon and his friends are so confi dent of victory that they are willing to bet all kinds of money on the out come. In his talk with me today, Irish said that It looked as if the Lewis boosters were getting "cold feet.” "Before the match was made Banty's friends stood ready to bet lots of money, I am told,” Mahon said, "but we have been looking for some one to put down a bet on Lewis so we can cover It. Why, we have $500 to bet, and if Banty Is the favorite, as some say, I would like to see the color of his backers' money. Wo don’t want any odds. We will bet the Lewis backers even money, and bet them all they want to put up. Why, I'll bet my end of the purse, which should amount to at least $200, that I will beat Banty. I haven’t any hard feelings against Lewis, but this is business with me, and I'll bet my money on my chances. I'm going to try and beat Lewis before the limit, and I expect to knock him out. I wish some of the fellows who are talking about Lewis being the favor ite would produce some coin to back up their statements. I’ll bet any amount that I'll 'be lighter than Banty when we light and I'll bet that I beat him. I have been kidding some of the boys about my weight, and the ‘boobs’ have fallen for It— hook, line and sinker. Gee. I wish I could get a bet down on myself. Banty must have a few friends who will back him. He can be the favor ite, but I'll take even money for mine." V Now that Billy Gibson, manager of the Stadium A. C., In New York, ha* called off the bout between Charley Welnert and Tom Gibbons, it may be that Welnert's next opponent will be Johnny Howard, of Bayonne, for John Weislnatel, manager of the Broadway Sporting Club, of Brooklyn, is con sidering such a bout for hts show on May 6. The probable Weinert-How ard match comes about through the disappointment on the part of the Gibbons brothers—Mike and Tom. Mike was billed to box Howard next Tuesday night at the Broadway Sporting Club and Tom was scheduled to meet Weinert on May 1, at the Stadium A. C. The brothers have can celled their bouts, so a Weinert-How ard “go” may be the outcome. That would be great, It would settle a much-disputed question of superiority. Weinert against Howard would be a good match and perhaps a decisive victory would result. J. P. N.: OUR CHAMPION. Across the sea, like knight of old. His country’s honor to uphold, The foremost wheelman of our laud Betook himself to Europe’s strand, And there made good his country’s boast That he was king of Wheeldom's host. Frank Kramer from beyond the sea Returns with spoils of victory; Trophies fair, renown galore, Come with him from that distant shore Where Wheeldom's laurels he did wrest In battle royal from Europe’s best. Bent low along his trusty wheel, The Stars and Stripes, his legs of steel Forced tirst across the finish line, While Europe's ensigns trailed be hind. Time after time he made all see America's supremacy. Proud France’s champions took Ids pace In many a long and hard-fought race; Grand Prlx and Hlver Velodrome— In the first Frank led all starters home. Though Hourller, whom he later beat, In the second led him to defeat. John Stol, the famous six-day man. Was put down as £kn "also ran" When he met Kramer on the track. Bill Bailey, merry England's crack, A bid for victory tried to make; The Yankee's dust he had to take. 'Tls futile to enumerate The hosts who met the same sad fate; Back of time and space prevent; In . all great Wheeldom's firmament Suffice to say the Yankee star Stands forth supreme, the brightest far. He now returns; with mighty vim Upraise your voices, welcome him! Bet the cry come bold and strong; I warrant you it will be borne From Rio Grande to frozen Nome: "Welcome, Kramer! Welcome Home!” Sincerely yours, JAMES V. BIUENZA, "Sportius." Hugh Boyle, whether he has the champion fighter or not In A1 McClos key, has “put one over” on Tom Mes senger, who is sure he has the coming champion in Charley Welnert. The Boyle letter: Elizabeth, April 24. J. P. N.: Friend Joe—It seems to be a poor method for a manager to agree to meet another manager to talk busi ness and then to renig. That, though, is what Tom Messenger did to me. 1 went over to Brown's and received a good offer for a McCloskey-Welnert fight. Now I will go after Howard, us I see Tom doesn’t want to match Welnert against McCloskey. It is a shame for Welnert to pass up an easy victim like McCloskey. Don’t vou think so? HUGH F. BOYBE. Right you are. Hugh; but you'll "discover that Messenger will be able to give you a good reason for not Shop Early and Lunch at the Nahkin Garden Regular Luncheon, SOc Oriental Luncheon, 78c Dollar Dinner de Luxe, 6:30-9 P. M. keeping the appointment. Tom Is a business manager, and he wouldn't allow such a soft match as the one you suggest slip by for the world. Think it over. Dispute as to the use of the name "Westinghouse” by employes of that concern for baseball teams seems to have become a settled matter with the following letter: J. P. N.r'. Several letters have appeared in your columns regarding the use of the name ‘'Westinghouse'' by teams representing the Westinghouse Elec tric and Manufacturing Company, of Newark, and the Westinghouse Lamp Company, of Bloomfield. A recent letter by "A Westinghouse Supporter” would make it appear that there is some unfriendliness be tween the two clubs. In order to set tle any questions, we would like to state thut the original protest was mude through a misunderstanding; that there Is not, nor will there be, any dispute over the name, and that in the event of the lamp company putting a team in the field, arrange ments will be made to distinguish between the ball clubs of both organ izations. This should close the incident. Very truly, J. T. METZGER, Chairman Westinghouse Lamp Base- : ball Club. The other side of the "Wentlng house” controversy contained In the following letter: We have read the article In Wednesday evening’s Star signed “A Westinghouse Supporter,” and it Is evident there Is some misunderstand ing. Although the writer makes no mention of it there is no doubt but that he Is employed by and probably used Westinghouse Lamp Company stationery. Great care seems to have been exercised in the omission of the name lamp company, as a sullix to the name Westinghouse. Our arti cle, that none of the names given are employed by the W. E. & M. Co., New ark, and our request that you disre gard correspondence under this name unless signed as stated still stands They must have known that the name Westinghouse as applying to baseball referred to the Newark works, since we have had a team in the Held for the last three years, and that in using the name as they did they would only confuse all inter ested. But if we had known pre viously that the interested parties were employes of the lamp company we would have taken the matter up through other sources, but all our in quiries led us to believe that it was an organization which had no right to do so, who were using the name for whatever beneflt they might obtain from it. We have taken the matter up with the proper party, at the lamp com pany, who advises that they had in tended organizing a high class team, capable of doing the name credit, and even yet may be able to accomplish their purpose, but it will not be the lineup announced in last Saturday’s Stur. Should their expectations De realized we will be one of the first to know It, and they will have the first open date on our schedule, for a game such sh this will create the best of friendly rivalry. Furthermore, they assure us that should they be able to organize It will bo a very easy matter to designate a name for the team that will avoid confusion with ours. Should the same team as previously mentioned continue in the field they will be fair not only to the public but to them selves and followers If they will use the name Westinghouse Lamp Com pany or otherwise designate them selves, so that there will be no con fusion with the team representing the Employees’ Athletic Association of the W. E. & M. C„ Newark works. With the above this matter Is closed as far as we are concerned as the other Implications in their letter are entirely baseless. Yours very truly. Board of Managers, C. H. LINDSAY, Recording Secretary. An explanation: J. P. N.: In the statement made In your col umn by Manager W. Simms, former ly of the Newark Whirlwinds, we wish to give an answer. Though we are youngsters and are supposed to be lacking In ability in ball playing, we wish to say we never had any in tention of taking Manager Simms’s name, but through the mistake of our i corresponding secretary the name was mixed with the Newark Wlndwhlrls. j and Manager Simms, without noti fying us, changed his club to the J Newark Star B. B. C. We left the mistake as it was and took the name | of Newark Whirlwinds. Wo hope Manager Simms will see his mistake.
