The City League has disbanded for
b year. The league was not to blame.
Tt was the City League patrons who
did not appreciate that they. were get
ting good baseball and 1t Is necessary
to q good prices for Players
The league, as a rule, took In more
money h ever, cut the teams, owing
to the speed of the league, lost more,
and all the money taken in more
] went to the players. Poor support Is
the reason for the ~disbanding of the
circuit this year. The league may be
~reorganized next year on a less ex-
pensive basis.
The have been losing for
some time. but looked for better things
as h season drew to a close. The
three Sundays the Newark Eastern
League club was away were calculated
to help the managers, but the same
lack of support was evident.
The Turner's have lost nearlxtS $500, the
Wheeimen $3.50 and the ParEyiews $400.
The Ironsides claim they lost money,
but. all told. it's hard toIsee how that
happened. The Tigers and the Rose
. viIles. who had their teams regulated
from a financial standpoint, alone
could weather the gale. The strong
competition between the other clubs
involving the signing of SIS and $40
pitchers and the Iike-put q crfmp in
their finances.
The managers were ready to stick
\ for a while yet, but when the Ironside
! Club, after a squabble with the Tigers,
made the motion to disband the clubs
that were not making money and didn't
rcare to take the initiative In Withdraw
h1ssjumped on the band wagon and all
was over. The managers didn't intend
ITO disband. as Is proven by the work
they did at the meeting until the Iron-
sides suggested it.
Some doubts as to the Eastern
League pennant winners will be re-
moved after the series that starts to-
morrow between the Tigers and the
Hustlers. We think. however, the race
will be a close one and his weeks
series will not settle all by a large ma
jority.
In the National League the Cubs and
the Giants start an important series
today. It appears. though, that the
Cubs, in this series. will simply show
their superiority over the Giants.
/, It is refreshing to hear from Jim JEFF
fries to the effect that he was not
drugged when he fought Jack johnson

self than most of his ~money-rnad adj
visers.
Joe Cans is returning home to die.
AS his life slips from him he thinks OF
his bouts with Battling Nelson which
broke his spirit and his health. Joe

The Newark and Rochester clubs will
be the guests of the management OF

To the Sporting Editor of the Evening Star:
Dear Sir-As ana and owner cf
the Newark Giants B.. B. @. 1 would
like to inform the readers of your sport
ing page that the publication of a de-
feat to the Giants by the Harrison A.
C. on Sunday is a false statement. rho
Giants did not play the Harrisons
Sunday and have not played them for
two years. / noticed we were adver-
tised in all the local papers on Satur-
day to play the Harrison A. A. on Sun
day. I would like to. say no such game
was booked. We have often beer adj
{ vertised by other managers to play on
! their grounds when we were not
kbooked. II these managers want "a
rood attraction why don't they come
out like real sports and pay for them.
It looks to me as If they are trying to
bIuff their way through to make a few
dollars. and 1t shows very poor sports
manehip on the part of managers who
are guilty Of such actions. 1 I'm yours
IN port JOE CARTER,
