perpetrated within a few days by a
mar well known in sporting circles
locally. He and, his tricks are known,
and If he ever does such a thing again
his name will be used once more in
this column as standing for bad
craftsmanship. This man, who hap
pens to be an enemy of this paper by
his connections with a writer of a local
paper, has aiken it upon himself to go
to New York, SO I'm told, telling the
boxers who are to appear at the STAR
benefit tomorrow night that the affair
was a money-maker.
This contemplate falsehood stamps
the man at his value. Nick Kline,
however, and his riends in New York
have rectifed the mistake and not a
single man this fellow approached will
harken to his diatribes and lies. Too
much criticism cannot be given this
man. It shows, however, that What
has been said about him in this column
has not been wrong. We hope this will
be q warning to him.

Jack Doyle, Heine PETIT, Carl Lund-
gren and Kid Gleason have the i'm
primatur" of Charley Murphy for jobs
as umpires. These men are old-timers
and know the game, but 1t seems they
should go out in smaller leagues for
experience. To throw such men on
the major league fans at once would
be an imposition, and President Lynch
shouldn't appoint them. Murphy's APP
prevail of them, however, just about
kills their chances.
Those controlling pools on the six-
day bicycle race, now that there Is the
possibility of reconstructed teams TAX
ing their place in the race, should
stipulate conditions governing the dis
position of the pool. BY doing so dis
putes that occurred last year will be
avoided. Let it be understood either
that the money is to be divided in case
a reconstructed team wins, or call 1t
off II one of the original teams does not
Finish ahead, or let the non go to
the man who holds the name of the
original team to finish first. Decide
IN either one OF these now n avoid
trouble.
George Carroll, Of Elizabeth, called
up today to say that Tony Bender and
Howard Smith had volunteered to take
part in the STAR benefit tomorrow
night. Carroll said that Tony Bender
is working out every day at Troxler's
and expects to box a great deal this
winter. Tony has been promised an
early match with Australian Charley
Griffen.
10 the Sporting Dditor of the Evening Star:
In regard to your publication in the
Evening STAR of Tuesday, December
6, would say there is entirely a misun-
derstanding. On Friday, December 2,
I. manager William Balbach, of Nj
agra Five), visited the STAR office Fri
day afternoon, with a piece to be in
serted in the STAR the following morn
ing, saturday, December 3, with the
following lineup: Hanely and DAILY,
forwards; Dicks, centre; M. DAILY,
Gould and Hoar. guards, Bloomfield
Five. AS there was nothing ofeBloom-
field Lyceum mentioned in the morning
issue, 1 don't see why the above name
was mentioned in the evening issue.
And besides, the piece mentioned by
". F. Kearns ("this disclaimer would
say there was no need of him getting
pig-headed about the published item.
The game was to be the second one
of q series of five, and manager DICKS
did not bring down the team that beat
lily Jcdkl Nv AASt 6oiAO'
brought down the following team
Dicks, Brophy, Cumming, O'Toole'
Plum.
And I did not think it right to pub
sish the defeated team as the Bloomfield
Five, but Bloomfield Reserves. Does
Manager Kearns think that it is Inn
possible to make a mistake, perhaps?
Hoping to see this published and
thanking you in advance, I remain,
WILLIAM BALBACH.
Niagara Five.
Mxplaining the reason the evening
issue Of the STAR used a name other
than Bloomfield Five, we would say
that the lineup was that of the Bloom
aeld Catholic Club, and we Used that
name. We did not call them the
Lyceum Five.-Ed.

To the Sporting Editor of the Evening Star:
Did Abe Attell ever beat Tommy
O'Toole? II. l..
Yes. Abe beat O'Toole in Boston
last year 4 q twelve-round bout.-Ed.
