THERE is d nice mix-up in New
York over the club that viii
stage the Attell MCFARLAND GO
The Paramount Club originated the
match. Mcfarland is willing to box
there. Another club, apparently with
a grip on Attell. Is keeping the cham
2. pien from making final arrangements
with the F'airmount Club.
It seems that sports cannot be sports
in some things. The Paramount Club
1 should hav the fight. Attell can GER
y tainiy help his renewed honest Tepu-
tation by going to the Paramount Club
with Mcfarland. Abe Is probably try
ing to make a little more money out
of the situation. For that, he isn't to
be blamed. The Paramount Club can
pay as much as anybody. We are in
clined to think. therefore. that club will
finally stage the match.
Larry Schlaf1y dropped in yesterday.
We approached him about the story as
.sto his being secretary of the Newark
club. Larry wouldn't bet 2 to l that
he wouldn't get the job, but ne in
sisted that something else would
keep him from taking 1t. Larry
wouldn't fell what the something else
is. Perhaps he's bought his release
from the club and Intends to become
q minor league manager or magnate.
Larry a y he's going home Tuesday.
You'll know them replied Schlafy.
Honest truth I won't he secretary of
tho club. H. Clay Smith will be here
10 decide the secretaryship Monday,
also. So there o are. The rumor
won't down
No longer Will 1t be necessary for
boxers to carry around caulihower
ears and SCARED -countenances as the
result of training bouts. A mask has
been devised which several fighters
have adopted, and they now nave the
appearance of football players as they
take the ring. The mask protects the
cars and eyes. Whether or not 1T will
become popular Is hard to say
To the outside buk witnessing the
.sr4ce from the auditorium the attempt
to gain a lap bysa rider occurs when
ever the rider takes It into his head
TO do something. AS a matter of fact
the riders have such a move planned
out, sometimes for hours ahead, and 1t
is only when everything works out
Just right and In the nick of time that
a lap is gained. It takes brain work
ever in the seeming drudgery of a six
day work.
James Hart, former president of the
Chicago National League Club, is ex-
pected to be the strongest opponent
to Tom Lynch In the presidential cleo
ton of the National League to be held
NJ New York next week. Murphy,
Fogel and Ebbetts are mentioned as
his strongest supporters, but we don't
know that will help him much.
Some great stunts nave been pulled
off by local ''pikers'' today. Clarke and
Rutt were two laps behind, according
TO the morning stories. Between the
publication of the morning and evening
papers Clarke and Rutt evened up the
score. wise" ones telephoned to W
paper offices, discovered this fact,
made bets with the uniformed and,
of course, collected.
Russell Ford and other men who
signed FLETCHER contracts shouldn't
find themselves in difficulty now with
their old bosses If they were wise
enough to keep the contract blanks
sent them some time ago. If they are
sure Fletcher has been ~'bought' off
al they have to do is to sign the con-
tract and return it, but If they 'eturn
the forms unsigned they are at the
mercy of their old bosses.

Of the Montreal Club, of the Eastern
League, will manage the Fort Wayne

Casey is certainly a good fellow and
we wish him success.

To the Sporting Editor of the Evening Star:
How many laps would Clarke and
Rutt have been behind the field il

to drop out, even with the leaders. and
Clarke had to team with Rutt? Oblige
