ss HE luck that every winning
team should possess seems to
be with Rochester just now and
rot with the Tigers. The Newark team
has a good chance to win the pennant
even now, we think. However, we
would like to see some of that luck
hat goes with a winning club on the
diamond when the locals play. Close
decisions seem to be not with us. There
are other tantalizing situations, too.
Sixteen points are not too many, but
the going will not be SO hard for the
Ganzelites as for the Bengals. There
fore. success means all the more fasf-
itorious for Newark. Here's pulling
for a change of luck.

His dope was right that johnson could
beat jeff.
That harness horse racing Is in for a
revival in the Metropolitan district goes
without saying when we read the ac-
counts of the first day at the Empire
track.

DIR. G.. Frank L~ydston, in the New
York Medical Journal, has this to say
about Fitzsimmons:
t'Fitzsimmons in his prime was little
less tina a freak of nature-a biological
sport. In all my experience with ath-
leties and understanding a period
so long hat I woul rather not reduce
1t to flgures-I have never met with a.
physique so remarkable as hat of Fitz-
simmons He never was a Sandow, or
in any sense a phenomenon so far as
bulk of muscle Inc mere brute strength
were concerned, but he probably had
more, better quality and better dis
ciplined muscle where he most needed

than any pugflfst who ever entered The
ring. Above all, he led a very re lar

does not want to pay.
FRANK MCKAY.
Well, we suppose If A wants to
sneak a bet on an erroneous decision
by the newspaper writer in question
it's hard to make him pay. A loses
that bet, because Newark won but a
single game, and tied one. How it
a be a draw is beyond you humble
servant. Why don't you try the New
York Globe or some other paper on
the subject. We know we are right.
The draw decision is a joke for fair.
one of the greatest we ever heard.
