y great game of Saturday, but that
so far as sportsmanship goes, since
there is chance to play the game to
an issue the essence of all sport, the
Hustlers' leader should come TO New
ark next Sunday to play the game
There Is just as much chance of New
ark losing the game as Rochester, and
If Newark is willing to take the chance
we don't see why Rochester isn't 1t
would not be complimentary to the
Champion Rochesters if they should
repeat this year if the Eastern League
fans should say: Camel was salts
fed to let the 1910 series of % games
stand II won for Newark. 10 for Ro-
chester and 1 drawn battle
If President Powers persuades the
Rochester owner and manager to play
that game he will get vote Of thanks
from all Eastern League fans. When
the Eastern League managers meet
this winter there should be rule
passed to fit a situation like this New
ark Rochester affair. compelling the
playing of sucn a game. 1t is only fair
to the spectators and right for the
teams
Newark played to 1885, paid admis-
sions in three days. beginning Friday
and ending yesterday. Friday there
were 6,645 paid admissions and Satur-
day 1852, the Eastern League record,
at Rochester Yesterday in this city
there were 1858 paid admissions at
wiedenmayer's the greatest crowd in
the history of baseball in this city.
There were at least 1000 turned away,
which means that II Newark has a
good team when that nice, new ball
park is built-and that's not SO very
far off now, we hear-Rochester's rec
ord attendance will probably not stand.
We ask the reader who sent us let
ter to forward to Benny Meyer,
matchmaker (boxing)" to tell us
whether he has not made a mistake In
not writing Benny Miller. The only
Benny Meyer we know Is not match
maker but a good pinch hitter.-Ed.

Wells at the National Sporting Club in
New York Friday night insists that
Il Iun,bo<WelIs had not fOaIled him that
night, by sending him to the floor with
a blow to the jaw when he offered his
hand, he would not have been put out
in the third round. 1t was mean trick
Wells played, at that.

o
10th Sporting Editor of the Evening Star:
A and B argument on the game be-
tween Newark and Montreal August IA:
Louden hit the ball to second baseman.
who fielded it to the first baseman wide.
First baseman fields ball and has plen-
tv ,of time TO get to his base and put
the runner out, but stands and waits
for runner. who slides under him and
was safe. who gets the error? A says
the error is credited to second baseman
for bad throw and says it is the first
baseman. as he had plenty of time to
reach bag and put out the runner?
The official scorer gave Holly. the
shortstop. the error. 1t was not the
second baseman that threw the ball 1t
was the shortstop.. The official scorers S
lopinion must settle the argument,
though it seems that Cockill's failure
to touch Louden constituted an error
of commission. the same as if he
dropped ball. 1t was boneheaded work
