M won't be, we think. If things
are kept agoing right. The situation
is not the best in the world, but by
the promoters caa Keep the game
alive. There isn't any reason why tha
police should stop the game now. Such
fascos as that at the Municipal Club
and the peorly-attended show at the
yendome last night won't. however,
help matters a great deal. Dissatisfied
audiences don't help. Some of the
o~fi1cials of the Municipal Club, who be-
licve that summer boxing is a good
financial proposition, If boxing is not
stopped, have in mind the idea of
forming a new club. In fact, the for
nation of the club is nearly completed,
though there is a chance that the club
may not materialize after all.

= Was Jeffries drugged? Some say he
was. Others say mo-" Jack Jeffries,
brother Of Jim, declares positively that
the ex-heavyweig1t champion was
''doped' before the fight and that he
has not yet recovered from the effects
Of the drugs. jeff is said to be morose
I'M will not even speak with members
of his own family. While it may be
possible that Jim was not In possession
of his full faculties because of a drug,
I hardly think such was the case. 1t
will be remembered that the big fellow
was moody and sullen ever since he
first went into training, so that theory
fails to hold water.
Newarkers have not awakened to
realize what a great first baseman
the local team boasts in Joe Agler.
Agler Is with out a doubt the best first
baseman in the league for general
ability. Other initial sackers may hit
the pill harder, but wait awhile. This
boy has a future, and is doing every
bit as good as Bud Sharpe did during
the latter's first yeaf in Newark. Agler
is chain lightning on his feet. In every
city In the league Agler's work has
been spoken of as sensational, and
there is not an Eastern League man
ager who wouldn't like to have him
in his lineup.
We are not. of course, interested
financially in the Newark Club but
we will say this, that the Tigers should
not try to win the p~ennant If gaining
the gonfalon brings out the great
crowds McGinnity now boasts? Really,
we hugh when we recall all that talk
about how good a ball town Newark
would be If they ever got a pennant-
winner.
John Pollock says that Jack Clifford
was the worst pugilistic lemon ever
handed out. Those who saw him at the
Vendome Club some time ago were also
sure of that.
The newspapers should refuse to pub
lish he talk indulged In by George Lit
tie as to the badness of those who had
anything to do with the recent fight.
The talk is becoming nauseating.

1t is not right. Robert McHugh and
George Flammer were responsible for
e City League, which had been or
,anized a year before Irwin came here.
he latter wanted to organize another
ague calling a meeting at his cafe in
nth Orange avenue. but that circuit
yer panned out, as 1t was difficult for
original City League to go along
