with the South Newark team on john
sons Oval yesterday morning was the
only thing which marred the otherwise
successful opening Of the COUNTY
League season. An %Irvington player
was benched for %disputing a decision
of Umpire Fox. The Irvington man
ager protested that he had nobody to
replace the suspended man n would
not listen to reason, even when Joe
McGinnity, who tossed the first ball
over the plate, argued with him and
offered to umpire. AS a result the
game was called with the score a tie
in the fifth inning at two runs each.
Many FAM went away disappointed.
The action Is deserving of censure and
should be dealt with severely by the
head of the league. 1t Is said that the
manager. when it was suggested that
the game go on as a. exhibition game,
wanted two guarantees.
o
Billy Lewis. Of this city, defeated
Willie Howard at the National A. c.
last Saturday night in the six-round
semi-final. The bout was one of the
best seen there in a long time.
Clarence Wagner, the local ball
player. who signed up this year with
the Trenton Tri-State League team
when he learned that 1t was the pro-
gram that he be let out to another
team by the Heckert's Club, deter
mined that he'd remain in this city
and play semi-professional ball with
one Of the City League teams.
%
Can't see where Jeffries has any right
to threaten hat he would call off the
fight unless Jack Johnson agreed to
withdraw Jack WEIGH and Eddie
Graney as candidates for referee at the
big fight. The articles the fighters
signed provide a means of selecting a
referee in case the fighters cannot.
To the Sporting Editor of the Evening Star:
I see that Jack O'Hara has sold out
to the Vendome A. c. against the COM
missioner Of this district. I believe that
Mr.. O'Hara Is a Knight of Columbus
and that the vendome Club could not
get any athlete from this city to enter
the games of the organization, as all
the clubs in the district uphold the at
titude of Lieutenant Brady. See how
many local entries they have and see If
the public will patronize such sport as
these people wish to hand them. I see
they are going to give a gold brick. I
guess that's right. They will certainly
give every athlete a gold brick that
enters in these games. Thanking you,
/ remain, ARTHUR COLLINS,
