SHORT TALKS ON CURRENT SPORTS


Well! Rochester won game No. 1.
This series is like the Giant-Cub affair
to feeling. and will go a long way
towards deciding the ownership Of this
years pennant. That It will decide the
pennant is stretching it a point, because
the Tigers r too game to allow a
slight lead to dishearten them
.
At the headquarters Of the local siln
today it was denied that Ernie Wolf
had been recalled by Manager McGiu-
nifty. A rumor to tina effect had Seen
circulated for some time. The Iron
Man also said that he knew nothing
of Creole, the East Orange boy who
is making a reputation as a pitcher u
Asbury Park. "
To the Sporting Editor of the Evening Star:
You answered ]. Nelson's pinochle
query incorrectly last night, when you
said hat A could meld a jack, ten and
ace to a king already ON the table In a
single-handed game Of pinochle for a
fifteen, after taking the queen from the
table and playing 1t. A. B. C.
We did not say that. The query was
answered as 1t was put. The question
was asked IL a queen could be taken
from the table. presumably to the hand
and not to be played, because 1t was
to be used In the meld later and to-
gether with the ace, ten n jack be
melded to the king on the table for If
We say again that it a be done.
If B used another queen for the stunt,
however, it could not be done. as the
different queens would have been
NEEDED to one king. That was not spe-
cited. and we answered 1t as 1t was
put.-Ed.
To the Sporting Editor of the Evening Star:
A little suggestion for a good league
in this city. Cut out those high-class
batteries. Pay a fair guarantee, say
$40. Form the league of the Roseville
A. c.. Tigers, Turner'S, Forest Hill,
Newark and South Irvington, the three
last clubs from the County League. The
fans don't want league ball to stop
here, and it should be organized. The
above named teams are even,- matched
and would play well together, as we'll
as be nicely supported, for If they had
less expense it should be a go. Now let
the managers get together before base
ball is killed in our city. Respectfully
yours, THOMAS CASEY.
Your zeal is great, Mr.. Casey, and
you may be all right, but l do know
this, that-if all the fans who saw City
League games would have each given
a five-cent piece high-class semi-pfo.
ball would still be enjoyed. The real
work to be done, Mr.. Casey. is to
educate the local fam that they cant
get something for nothing.-Ed.
To the Sporting Editor of the Evening Star:
Could you please tell me If there are
any places in this city where boys can
be taught how to box? What does it
cost per lesson or season? Which one
do you think is the best? Can l take
lessons this summer, or are these places
closed during the summer BY doing
so you will oblIge. L. SOCKS.
Gus Troxier's Central Institute. over
the Central railroad depot, in Broad
street, is a place for you. Cali on
him.=Ed.
