1t is lot necessary to be a knocker TO
say that. =
Jim Savage has been matched to box
ten rounds with Andy Morris at
Browns gymnasium June IS.
--i0;-
The Newark club has no license to be
last in his race. The team rightfully
belongs around fourth and fifth places.
ITS too bad, loyal Newark fans have TO
criticise their own team all the time.

There is only praise for II. Clay
Smith, the real owner of the Newark
club. lie is a gentleman and a high
class man.
Billy Zimmerman. the Newark boy
now with Atlanta, is leading that club
with a mark of .30S.

b. M. Stanley, jr., presented Freddy
Hill, the winner of the race bearing
his name at the Nelodrome yesterday,
with a handsome stickpin made up of
a large sapphire. pearls and a circle of
diamonds. Mr.. Stanley is some donor!

Now that the hot weather is here
and the pitchers. have come into their
own, one does not hear 50 much about
the lively ball.
Strange there was no rain yesterday
to spoil the holiday sport program!

Ralph milford, who finished second
in the great Indianapolis automobile
race yesterday, is a cousin of Mrs,
Christian Reinhardt, of Belleville, and
is known in this vicinity. Milford
was the favorite in the betting before
the race, and but for a click in his
machine he would have come out a
winner. milford is a daring rider and
has won several big contests through
out the country,
j. II. Dorch, manager of the Nutley
team, wishes to enter a protest against
the treatment which his club received
on Decoration Day by the Branch
Brook Club. Here is his story: -Four
weeks ago the manager of the Branch
Brooks wrote to Mr.. Dorch asking for
q game on Decoration Day afternoon,
although there were at least twenty
five teams trying to book that time for
a game the Nutleys agreed to take on
the Branch Brooks as the holiday at
traction. The townspeople were expect
ing q good fast contest up to yesterday
morning, when the manager of the
Branch Brooks telephoned at 1O:45
O'Clock that the engagement was cam
oelled as the team could not appear,
and had 1t not been for the considera-
ton given by Manager Fleming and
his team from the W~orthington Pump
Works of the Manufacturers League a
large crowd would have been greatly
disappointed. The Worthingtons had
played the morning game as scheduled
and kindly agreed to stay and play the
afternoon game rather than u such
a disappointment. Now, an affair or
this kind does not help the national
game any, and such action on the part
of the Branch Brook Club should not
be passed without notice, as it certain
Nv does not reflect any too good on
their unsportsmanlike action. 1t is ais
worthy of note that the Branch Brooks
played the afternoon game with the
Bloomfield b. B. Club at Bloomfield.

We have it on reliable authority
and not from a telegraph operator, as
one sporting editor always claims
when he's beaten on a story-that
George Browne, of the Tigers, will soon
be sold to a major league baseball club.
-:0;-
To the Sporting Editor of the Evening Star;
I see you belong to the rats" now.
If being right is being a rat. be a rat,
for all the baseball fans think you are
right and your judgment has been vim
dictated as to the Tiger team.
Say what you think is right and
don't be a ''ridiculed' sporting editor
like the man using the word rat"
f. PEARCE.
All that stuff is amusing to the
writer. Well continue to criticize
where we think criticism is necessary
and keep the support of such men as
you.-Ed.
