And Right Tommy IL.
Truer words than these were never
spoken by any human. 1t doesn't take
a wise man to turn out the dollars, but
II does take a good level headed one to
keep them. The fighting game of today
is prolific of easy money and it has al
ways been, but not productive of such
large sums as today. Fighters have
won fortunes in the past few years who
today are driving a bob-tail horse car
or else sweeping the streets OF cleaning
up a barroom. And why? Burns tells
you why.
Dark and Dreary.
Yesterday was Easter Sunday and
many an old sport and young one, too,
for tina matter, felt much disappointed
when the sky became clouded n
Pluvius pulled open his stop gates and
scattered the Merry Widow hats.
Easter is always regarded as a sort OF
promenade day. Sporting men, always
on the alert for everything new, are out
on that day sizing up the styles of both
sexes. Broad street is the centre pa
rade grounds, and when the sun came
out early yesterday there was much joy
because of the anticipated glorious day.
But. schucks! The rail came and
everything was spoiled. Those who had
sufficient grit and a Willingness to get
caught in a shower went down to the
ball nark and were entertained for a
couple of hours by Stallings's Tigers.
Had the sun kept his face to the fore
yesterday afternoon the Tigers would
have had the pleasure of romping be-
fore at least 10000 fans. But, at that,
the crowd was pretty good, and what
opened dark and dreary was somewhat
lessened by the game.

answer from the fact that the writer

stoned by the baseball ans in New
York. Now, did you ever? But here
is the letter:
Newark, N. j.. April II, '0S.
Mr.. Thos. Dugan,
Dear Sir:
with all due respect and regard for
your sporting stories. I must differ
with you as TO the interest caused In
Newark by 1orse-racing. When you

thing remarkable yesterday. though.
Merkle seems like a good first base
man.. Needham has more life in him
than when he played last year with
Boston. McGraw, as a whole, has a
much better team than last year.
This afternoon the Tigers will play
with the Pent-Ups of Utica. Tomor-
row the teams will clash again, and
then for the opening day. Manager

three men across the plate before the

Frill was steady thereafter, though

BLUES
DEFEATED BY
WEST HUDSONS

The lads and lassies from the land of
heather, the briar bush and the tickling
thistle gathered yesterday afternoon at
Morris Park, and there urged on their
favorite heroes to do or to die in the
battle for the American football chal-
lenge cup. The contesting teams were
the True Blues, of Paterson, and the
West Hudsons, of Harrison, and the
game was always in doubt until the
referee blew his whistle indicating that
the game was over, when the West
Hudsons had three goals scored to their
credit, as against two for the Silk City
contingent. Then the followers of the
game gave ven to their pent-up feel
ings and the victors and vanquished
were each given a real old-time
ovation.
The crowd that turned out to see the
deciding game of the season indicated
that football, as played under the guild
ance of the American Association, is
indeed popular. The brawny Scots.
with their sweethearts, and others with
their wives and children, began arriv-
ing at the park early. Easter bonnets
were in evidence, and now and then q
gleeful Scot would arous the crowd
by cheering the name of his favorite.
Paterson sent down five hundred of her
roooters, who were not in the least
backward in cheering for the Blues, a
team that has made a name for itself
in every season since American asso-
citation football has been played under
proper organization. There was plenty
of Blues money in sight and the West
Hudson followers were not In the least
backward in taking everything offered.
The lineup and the officials follow;
West Hudsons. True Blues.

argue that because you did not see
any special racing trains scheduled to
run from this burg to the race course,
there cannot be the interest in horse
racing you have beer led to believe
existed. Yours is a foolish argument.
In New York the rooters who attend
the ball games do not cause any traffic
blockades. yet there are fans at every
game. You could watch all the Asbury
Park trains at Jersey City and con-
clude no one vas at hat place.
As a matter of fact, one man whom
you probably never knew is now con-
Quoting three books in the field ring,
and because of this at least fifteen
men are in his employ--all Newarkers.
I could take you to the race-track
and introduce you to at least one hun
dred persons whom l know by name.
l can stand at the -Four Corners
and name you several hundred of the
passers as horse-players, talking horse
TO every one of them.
Do you hin that the sheriff stopped
a piking game? There are more horse
players, on and off, in Newark than
there are in you city, Paterson. And
that Is going some.
The sleuth you saw was probably a
typical sleuth-that Is why he could
only point out a few regulars.
During the height of the season at
least seventy-fve Newarkers are en-
ployed by Newark bookies.
L am not anxious to break into print
with this letter, as our friend Dodge
can assure you. With best wishes, I
am, very truly yours, MELLAH.

number of race track men in this city.
L don believe 1t. L think hat this
city is without it's gambler just in the
same way l thil.k that this city has nc
trunk sewer advocates. But supposing
there arc hundreds of race track men
standing on every corner, it is the duty
of good citizens to throw the cloak of
secrecy over them and not advertise the
fact to the world -at-large, and Branch
Brook included. Mellah says that there
is another city not far from here where
there are pool rooms. Well, l meet
many a Newarker coming from there,
but am pleased to say hat Mellah has
escaped me thus far, but, then, maybe
he uses the trolley. L don't. l think a
boort for any city, town or hamlet is
ten-fold better than a knock. What
