KKANAGER John M. Chapman. of
~ the Velodrome. said today that
he expected to make q definite
announcement as to whether Jackie
Clarke would ride at his track this
year. Chapman has made a PROPOSE
ton to mcfarland and Clarke n ex-
poets their answer inc hopes for a
favorable one. There isn't any doubt
in the world that Chapman needs a
rider like Clarke at the track to draw
the crowds and to revive excitement
over the game, which is now sadly
lacking.
Alfred Goulette, the Australian pro-
fessional champion of last year, ar
rived in town early today after a thirty
day trip from the Antipodes. He went
right to the track to shake off his sea
legs. Chapman says the Australian is
a pretty good man.
Abe Rachlin dropped in this morn
ing. He said that he would stay home
for the rest of the season. He was
wise enough to know that he hadn't
the experience and was tired of being
given trials" in the New York State
League. Monte Cross wanted to SEM
the lad to Holyoke nj Wilkesbarre,
but the young southpaw hardened to
the call of his parents and gave up
professional ball. The City League
managers will no doubt be after Abe.
Well, May IL, 1909. McGinnity beat
the Hustlers, FL. 1t was also the first
Tiger-Roohester game in New York
State. Stow away those games, sJoe,
pennant-w1nning Billy Smith is at
your heels. Who can tell but that
this row of victories will prove to be
the factors of a successful season and
the means of bringing the first modern
Eastern League pennant to Newark.

To tho Sporting Editor Of the Evening Star:
Will you kindly publish in the New
ark EVENING STAR the number of
errors thai White had in Saturday
afternoons game between Buffalo and
Newark? This is to decide a little
wager between some members of the
club who witnessed the game on that
day. A says White had one error; B
says White had two errors. Hoping to
see this decided by you and thanking
Won for past favors, we remain, re-
spectfully yours,
EDWARD PERSON,
President Essex A. c..
The official scorer didn't give White
an error in that game. He dropped a
difficult fly, but the scorer ruled it was
a hit, not an error.-Ed.

twelve rounds about a year ago.-Ed.

To the Sporting Editor of the Evening Star:
Which is New York Lewis, Willie
or Harry. and what are their right
names? How old and what are their
nationalities? F. A. B.
Harry Lewis boasts of Philadelphia
as his home and Willie of Manhattan.
Harry's name is Henry Besterman, and
he's a Hebrew. Willie Lewis stuck to
his right name. He's ar Irish-Amer-
ican.-Ed.
TO the Sporting Editor of the Evening Star:
II with three on base an outfielder
drops a fly ball and a run scores, does
the batter get credit Of a hit? j. c.
Not at all. It's an error by the
fielder and no hit for the batter. Wish
they counted hits that way; we'd be in
line for that fine automobile.-Ed.
To the Sporting Editor OF the Evening Star;
Did Rube Vanguard ever pitch a no.
hit no-run game? L.. A. I.
Yes, for the Indianapolis Indians,
September 3, 1908. The Columbus team
was the victim.-Ed.
To the Sporting Editor Of the Evening Star:
Do you think McGinnity could make
good in the big leagues?
JOHNSON.
It's hard to oppose the judgment of
the big league managers, who waived
on him. but it seems to me the same
men are drawing men from this league
who haven't, n cannot, win the
games the Iron Man" gets away with
Ed.
JACK BERNARD-Got your letter
too late. Will use 1t tomorrow.-Ed.
