kzf osT. of this talk about putting
VN the ban OH the moving pictures
of the Jeff-Johnson fight Is bosh.
Tbs talk about the films causing more
ace riots is really kiddish. Most of
<he brawls were the result of too much
thinking, and while they were disgrace
<ul might have occurred sven had JEFF
been a victor. Many fight pictures of
ar more brutal battles have been
shown without causing any moral OPP
POSITION. It is to laugh.
Neither Tommy Burns, Al Kaufman
nor Sam Langford, in. our opinion,
neasure up to the ability OF a suitable
Exponent for Jack Johnson. Kaufman
m three or four years. when johnson
begins to hit the toboggan, If he Inn
proves enough, may be able to give
Johnson a battle, n possibly beat
him. The young white man Is NOW only
"a years old. His work with johnson
shows that he is no dub.
81 o.
Third Baseman Oracle, of the Forest
Hill County League team, who was
painfully injured on the Fourth of July
in a league game while sliding home,
will be confined to his bed for some
time as the result of the injuries he
received. It was feared at first that
his spine had been injured and his
skull fractured, as he was unconscious
for some time after the accident. He
fwas taken to his home, where his life
was despaired of, but yesterday doctors
51n attendance announced that he will
recover, though he will be unable to
play baseball for some time to come.
The sympathy of semi-pro. fans go out
to young Oracle.
There was a rumor about town that
the Municipal Club was to give up the
ghost. The writer took the pains to
ask one of the officials OF that club as
to the report. Mot a chance in the
world" came the quick answer. I'VE
are satisfied with things and have the
best hall in the city, and our members
will be enjoying our shows longer than
those Of any other club"

TO the Sporting Editor of the Evening Star:
Please publish this bet in your p
lar paper and thus decide this bet: A
said that Johnson would go twenty
rounds, B says that Johnson would
not go twenty rounds, not saying who
would win the fight. TWO CHUMS.
3 The writer, under the conditions you
name, thinks that B wins. But he is of
the opinion that a different bet was
meant. If that be the case the follow
s ing is in order:
It seems to me, 1.-TWO Chums." that
q you won't be chums If you persist in
this bet. If one wagered that neither
johnson nor Jeffries would let the fight
go twenty rounds there is a decision in
the matter. BIS bet, however, seems to
have been that Johnson would not stay
twenty rounds in the same ring as JEFF
fries, leaving the intimation that he
8 would be beaten. Though nothing was
said about the winner, it was under
stood that if johnson didn't sta the
twenty he'd be the loser. 1 think B
should pay up.-Ed.
To the Sporting Editor Of the Evening Star:
Would you kindly place in your valu-
able paper an answer to this little
g argument on the winner of last weeks
s pool. The pool started Sunday and end
& ed Saturday. A has Boston and says
& that he has the most runs because he
4 has the game in which the Chicago
4 Nationals played only four innings is
4 not counted. B says that Chicago had
4 scored the run during the week and
i should be counted in the pool: tina
the runs, not the games, are counted.
1 LOUIS MAHIEN.
Al pools count the runs, and not
the games, all runs scored should
count unless otherwise specifed.-Ed.
I To the Sporting Editor Of the Evening Star:
Win o kindly let me know through
your worthy paper If there is a private
swimming school in town and, if so,
where is it located Thanking you in
advance. yours respectfully, f. N. M.
There Is none we know of, but the
/ Z. M. c. A. gives private lessons.-Ed.

I No ths Sporting Editor of the Evening Star:
Is johnson credited with a knockout
Over Jeffries? JOHN HUGHES,
F East Newark.
According to the referees decision
! and that goes-the negro is not credited
with such, because Jeff's handlers dis
qualified him by touching him when
he was first knocked down.-Ed.
1 TWENTY THREE-INNING
TIE GAME AT SAN ANTONIO.
