Newark evening star and Newark advertiser. [volume] (Newark, N.J.) 1909-1916, 1911-06-05

THE number OF complaints that
have come into this office of late
warrants the writer In saying that
several amateur and some of the big
senf-pro teams should be severely con-
demned for their unsportsmanlike
methods of Disappointing home teams
at h last moment. The STAR opens
Its columns to any manager thus
treated in the hope that exposure will
stop such mean tricks.

H. Clay Smith has found it impos-
sible to swing a deal with Buffalo and
Rochester. The writer has learned
that there is nothing very startling in
sight in the way of a big deal. All
this talk about Roach is so much
bull" There are two or three major
league clubs that won't waive on
him. Jersey City all but had the player
a few weeks ago. Failure to get waiv-
ers Is what prevented the Yankee re-
cruit from being a Skeeter.

Joe Coster has signed up to fight
Joe Maudot at a Memphis boxing club
and Kline remains idle. Tom O'Rourke
tried his greatest to get Coster and
al Ill tlie Ilu6, UuL Joe dDSOluLplX
refused to meet the Newark boy.
Patsy may get q match with Jimmy
Walsh at the National Sporting Club
If Walsh is agreeable, but he'll be like
the rest very likely. Nobody seems to
want to meet Kline because of his
wallop. It's tough luck for q lad of
Kline's calibre when a title aspirant
crawls out of one match with him and
refuses to consider another.

To the Sporting Editor OF the Evening Star:
Dear Sir-I desire q small space in
your valuable column in order to expose
to the public the manner of one of New
ark's supposed-to-be best semi-pro
teams, the Central A. A.
This team opened their season on
May ID at Morristown with the Morris
town A. A, and were beaten IL to /.
The score next day ear 8 to /. On May
81, at Port Reading, they were beaten
z to 4, but the paper next day read
Centrals s, Port Reading 4. At Mend
ham, on May 81, they were beaten s
to 0. In the paper they were beaten
3 to Q. On May 20, at Delawanna, they
were defeated 6 to 8, and at the High
lands. on Decoration Day. by the score
OF Is to l. but the papers read, at
D~eIawanna, Centrals 7, Delawanna s,
and Centrals Is, Highlands 3.
I ave seen every game played by
the Central A. A, and though taken in
dividually, 1t appears to be a good
team, I do not think 1t correct to
hoodwink the public by sending in
absurd scores. Trusting to see this in
print. I am a rooter for fair play,
EDWARD McGILLEY.

no the Sporting Editor OF the Evening Star:
Is this English correct? "These few
lines from Toby vodin, Knockout
Browns mascot, is not half bad"
JOHN BOLTON.
Plural subjects require plural verbs,
so Zines ts' Is not correct. Why pick
but this one when there have been
many such examples from the same
place. 1t must be difficult to be a
sporting editor when n doesn't know
the English language.-Ed.
Irish Mahon, the local boxer, has a
new manager in the person of Larry
Sutton, the baseball scout Larry
thinks a good little fighter like Mahon
needs a scout as well as any baseball
club. While travelling In the West
Larry expects to pick up some good
matches for the Newarker. "I won't
let Mahon meet anybody but 49,
pound boys" said Larry, except Carl
Healey."
To the Sporting Editor of the Evening Star:
My boy, Sailor White, fights in New
York Thursday night. He fights Al
Benedict, the fellow he knocked out in
forty seconds for six rounds. and will
sure turn the trick again. Yours
truly, JIM JOHNSON,
Trainer.
