Charley Strong, the Local
Heavy, Coming Back in
the Game Again.
BY | poRT

I see where Abe Attell is trying to
dodge out of meeting Griffin, the Aus
t~ralian, and Abe springs thai thread
ing well-known enough here in the East
to draw flies to see him fight. In other
words, Abe is using that expression, Ego
get a reputation" Such talk from any
fighter leads to one conclusion and one
alone. Attell either Is afraid to meet
the Australian or else he is four-fiush-
ing for a larger size purse. Griffin must
have something in him, or else his man.
ager, Harry Pollock. wouldn't have
brought him all the way from the other
end of the world to gay New York,
where hotel bills and sightseeing costs
money, even to such a live gent as
Pollock. The latter Is angry at Attell's
position, and Harry springs into the
public limelight through the aid of the
press. Harry is an old pe~ncil-shover
himself and he can go some. Just read
this letter, which he has sent out to his
friends in the trade:
Abe Attell hls refused to box Charley
Griffin for the featherweight champion
ship of the world at 122 pounds ring
side because, he says, Griffin is not well
enough known in the West to a
large enough gate. Possibly, but then
maybe, Abe Attell coupled with Tommy
Sullivan lis too well known to do any
drawing in the none line himself on
the Pacific coast. But hat is another
story.
Attell wants Griffin to do 124 pounds
ringside for a six-round, no decision
contest. This is simply lodging the
issue. Griffin wants to box for the
championship and he canno do so in
a six-round affair. He can do the
weight easily enough, as he weighed
124h when he met Driscoll, but it's
much harder for him to do it than 1T is
for Attell and at the end, unless he
knocked out Attell, Griffin would be no
nearer the championship h a he is
now. If hi let Attell go along and make
a decent showing the public would say
Griffin is a lemon" If he beat Attell
then aAbe would give Griffin the same
treatment he has handed to Moran,
since the latter nearly tore AttelPs head
off in 'Frisco-refuse to meet him again
Now, while Attell is backing and fill
ing over a few ounces weight and re-
fusing to meet such boys as Tommy
Murphy, Leach Cross. Jack Goodman,
Young Loughrey etc, Griffin, failing to
drag Abe into the ring, stands ready to
box anybody in the world, including the
above named gentlemen, six rounds al

NEWARK HIGH TENNIS.

The first match In the final round
of the Newark High School tennis tour
nament was played off yesterday after
noon. Eric Franzen disposed of Ernest
Heinrichs in straight sets and appeared
at no time to be sorely pressed. Ernest
Heinriehs. who was hailed as a winner,
was not up to form. however. In the
first set Heinrichs captured the first
game. Franzen the second, third and
fourth. Helnrichs captured the next two,
and then Franzen took the remain
ing games needed for the set, the score
being 6--3.
The second set fell to Franzen easily
by a score of Go. In the third set
Heinrichs started off like a winner.

Franzen captured the next six. repeat

On Monday Heinrichs and Liebschutz

L~iebschutz on the same day, or the day
after. AS a has but this one

any notch inside of the lightweight

rounds or more for the worlds feather

HARRY POLLOCK.
Now that is plain enough for even
the great Attell to comprehend. Crit
fin must be a serious chap, and it is
up to the CALIFORNIAN to come out of
the hole he has crawled into and say
something. No fighter who comes East
looking for prestige and money can af-
ford to lay down on the Pollock propo-
sition.
If Attell thinks he can hang around
New York and be a drawing card and
refuse to meet any boy in his class, he
will find the doors of the hospitality
places closed against him..
Somebody with a grain of humor has
come forth with the statement that to
pit Ketchel against Tommy Burns
would be a crime. I wonder where
some people procure the stuff that
Sheriff Sommer and THE EVENING
STAR are waging a war against these
days. That dope stuff must be an aw-
full thing to fall to.
Ketchel has as much right to meet
Burns as the latter had to meet Bill
Squires. Ketchel can whip Burns, in
my opinion. Some folks are afraid of
expressing what they think for fear
that they will guess wrong. But what
is any man who hasn't an opinion? [
tell you tha this fellow Ketchel has
every chance in the world to cop
Burns, If the latter will only meet him,
and If they do meet don't forget that [
called the turn. KetcheI is coming.
Burns has been up against easy stuff
ever since he first started to fight;
Ketchel has had to show class in every
battle, and he has shown it.
If Burns returns to his country and
refuses to fight Ketchel, then Burns's
star is set, as far as this country is
concerned.
I learned that Charley Strong, that
old-timer who use to knock many a
good. man out of his way a few years
ago, is going to get back in the game
again. | haven't heard from Strong in
many a day, and if he is in good con-
dition ard has taken care of himself
there are many of those heavyweights
over in New York that will have to get
out of his way when he comes back
again.
But not knowing how the old fellow
isl mean old in the game n not in
years-it is hard to venture a true
opinion. However, the fact that he Is
coming among us again shows me that
he must be pretty good or else he
would never take any chances of being
walloped by the present crop of New
York heavies.
Time and chance alone will tell II he
still retains his old pugilistic fire.

COLONEL TELLS
PITCHERS HOW
TO GET CURVES
Suggests a Trip on One of
the Kinney Street
Cars.

81 remember when Doc Adkins, of
the B%altimores, was near being re-
leased" remarked the Colonel yester-
DAY at the game. "Then he took to the
spit ball and is now considered a valu-
able man. 1 think the curve artists,
however, are the best and every pitcher
should try and get his curve to break
right when he has made 4 name for
himself" and the Colonel ordered an
other cigar.
How can a pitcher get curves, Col
onel?" asked one of his friends.
That's easy enough" was the an
swer. Let him ride a week on q Kin
ney street car and he will have all the
urve he wants." and the Colonel

CHRIS DENNEBAUM, NEWARK ELK, WILL START
WEDNESDAY ON A WALK FROM HERE TO MANILA
lie Sets No Time Limit on His
Trip and Will Take
Things Easy.

The members of the Newark Lodge
of Elks are going to figure this sum-
mer somewhat in the sporting world.
One of the members of the Green
street lodge is going to walk the coun-
try from his city to Manila, and will
visit every lodge on his way. The
journey will be mad On foot, save
where the oceans and rivers make 1t
necessary for him to take a boat, and
the name of his Elk is
none other than Chris Dennebaum, who
for many years conducted a saloon on
the corner of Orange and High streets.
Chris Is popular here, and for some
time was the assistant steward at the
Jeffersonian Club. He retired from the
saloon business some time ago, and
having no one but himself to o. after
and DESTROYS of seeing the world on
foot made a wager with another Antler
that such a trip could be made. There
is no time limit set on this task. The
only condition is hat the popular Elk
has to make his own expenses of the
trip en- route.
He will do this easily. He is busy to-
day preparing for a jaunt. His outfit
will consist of a corduroy suit, a rub

ness away from him. To pay his ex-
fpenses Chris win take orders for a
suitable ornament with an I'll m

of the sale he expects to make his way
through the country n will strike
Manila sometime during the winter
months. He has decided on the exact
day and the route. He will start from
the Green street headquarters next
Wednesday afternoon at 3 o'clock. and

Providence Club Springs a Big
Surprise on the
l Tigers.

Those 1908 Clam Diggers were hardly
introduced to us yesterday when they
pounced upon the old reliable AL Pardee
and proceeded to do a cleanup stunt.
II the Providence bunch did not play
like champions, we never saw any, but
everybody says 1t won't last, so here's
hoping everybody is right for once
In the first place. Abstein was the
gentleman with the large. long swat,
and twice he dropped the sphere into
the centre field bleachers for the cir
cult. His drives were enough in them
selves to bring home a game for
Duffy's clammers.
All twirlers looked alike to the Grays
yesterday. Hughes, who essayed to try
and win the game or stop the batting
of the Rhode Island aggregation, was
treated just as mean as Pardee.
Then, a slight young man named
Friel, who did the twirling stunt, proved
to be stingy. In fact, he was a trifle
miserable, only letting the Tigers poke
his offerings for three safe slams.

What Does This Meant
In every city where thereIis an East
ern League club there is being built
these days a bicycle track, and Presi-
dent Powers is behind the whole thing.
/ wonder why, and | ask the presi-
dent why his name is being connected
with these tracks which will be worked
in direct opposition to the best inter
ests of the Eastern Baseball League?
There is one in this city. One is being
erected in Providence and Montreal.
Rochester. Toronto and Baltimore will
soon boast of having cycle tracks,
where races will be run off on the Sab
bath. Certainly these tracks will de-
tract patrons from the ball games.
Here in this city, where the figures of
attendance given out on Sundays, ran
up to the 10000, now only 1000 are
recorded. The cycle men have a right
to make a living just as well as the
ballplayers. But it is surprising to me
to learn that the head of the Eastern
League is behind his new scheme.

face a term in prison, and in the mean

hat 1t Is the betting game and not the
horseflesh business that drew out thou

themselves.
Why is it that the law is used to dis

to swell it to many simoleons as well
as the tanker who takes your money
and offers you a certain amount of in
terest and who himself goes into the
bucket shops of Wall Street and there
wagers your money against a mythical
thing? If it Is wrong to bet on a horse
race it is as equally wrong to bet that
the corn crops, the cotton growth and
the wheat crops do not reach a certain
! percentage over that of a former
| period. Wall Street is the bucket shop
| of the world. And not until the smaller
fry of sporting men get together ano
stand for each other will the law be
enacted on all men in this particular
line of gambling. The law say gam
bling is wrong. So it is. That spirit
has been engendered into every boy
and grows up with him into manhood.
But why Is the law protecting q few
and forbidding the many2 We lare told
hat the law is no respecter of persons,
but we know that this bit of wisdom is

read in the old almanac years ago. 1t
will not stand inspection and the only
remedy for a quare deal even In the
sporting world is the ballot. The
trainers of the a~nti-racing bill says that
young men are cajoled into stealing
their employers money and betting 1t
on the horses. In the name of common
Sense what does the young man do who
plays the bucket shop gag? He loses
and when his roll is gone he gets some
body else's.
