League games and 5000 visit the Velo-
drome and uncounted thousands were
spectators at the small sand lot games
1T must be acknowledged that this city
IS a great place for Sunday, sports, and
that h will of the people is that they
be given Sunday sports. AS a result
Of all of those sporting events, there is
yet to be heard one complaint of my
thing that approaches aver the ungen-
tlemanly. If the Tigers have an wen
break of luck and make a great race
of it: II the City League teams play
the ball they seem capable of from
htheir ~opening-day form; if the County
League has a good season, n there
is every indication 1t will, and If all
the smaller sand lot leagues go well.
Newark's banner year of baseball is at
hand.
iigrAn Eastern League pennant for New
ark and two prosperous semi-profes-
ssional leagues, the City and County,
do not seem too much to expect at this
stage of the game.
y Andy Speary will report to the
Phillies again unless he gets word from
Manager Doom soon placing him with
some minor league club on an optional
agreement. The Newark boy was
loaned to the Haverhill team in the
New England League. Tom Fleming
wanted to buy the boy, but Doom
wouldn't sell him, and home comes
Andy. 1t isn't unlikely that Andy will
finally find his way to Elmira, in the
New York State League. Andy played
short for the Bay View Wheelmen in
the City League yesterday. His work
. showed the benefit of his professional
experience.
Young Wildfang fought Willie
Ditt1es, in the star bout at the Ma
tional A c., of Brooklyn Saturday
night, The club house, was packed to
the doors, standing room was at a pre-
MUM. Dittles is the club favorite and
when he entered the ring he received a
rousing reception from the members,
who expected to see him clean up.
However, Wildfang won easily from the
second round on He handed some hard
punches to Dittles which wore him
down and in the ina round Dittles
was all in. When the gong sounded
wildfang was wildly cheered and
> highly commended for his clean work.
1t was his first appearance in Brooklyn
and it took about fifteen minutes to
get him out of the ring after the bat
tie as the crowd all wanted to congrat-
ulate him.
AL Benedict, the Hoboken heavy
. weight. who has fought at P. Nc
tGuigan's, and who has been picked by
2 Billy Madden as a conner, will get a
Anchance to make good tonight, when he
meets Jack Twin" Sullivan at the
stMarathon A. C. 1t looks like leading a
otlamb to slaughter to send this boy
atagainst the Twin" but Madden's judg-
9. ment counts for something.
