Sporting Club in New York tonight
has to bear the same odium, and
honest little Patsy Kline is made a
victim of the talk, also. We do not
think that the fight tonight will be a
fake, so far as Kline Is concerned. If
Attell has said that he will work under
wraps" which we doubt, he had bet
ter look out for himself, for Patsy is
punching just as hard with his right
as with his left these days. We do
not say that Kline can box with Attell
like Young Ahearne, or anything like
that, We do say, however, even If
Patsy Kline does not beat Abe Attetl,
that there is not another feather
weight in the land that can do it.
Newark ought to be proud of that
fact and quit knocking M of her W
boys who has reached a high pinnacle.
Tom C%hivington was reelected presi-
dent of the American Association at
the annual meeting held in Chicago
Yesterday. He will also be the secre-
tary and treasurer Of the league, while
Will Armour, president of the Toledo
club, will be the vice-president of the
league. a schedule calling for 1853
games will be adopted. An innovation
in the schedule will be that each club
will have TO make four trips around
the circuit. The season will last "A
week longer than last year.
Joe Kelley announces that Willie
keeler will not be with the Leafs next
season after all. He failed to agree on
terms with the Giant management.
Charley Goldman is i'll, so no date for
the match between him and Buddy
FauIkes can be fixed. The men. Me-
Guigan says, are now matched and the
forfeits posted,
1t is said that Billy Pierce, the
matchmaker of the Armory Club, of
Boston. prevented a frame-up last
Tuesday night between Sam Dangford
II Joe Jeanette, The threat made
by Pierce to call everything off il
things looked off to Charley White, tho
referee, Is certainly the proper way
of dealing with such cases.

Paddy McGuigan announced last
night that Young Ahearn, tho Dan

will soon be matched to meet some
good boy in the future.
The lack of ability of Paddy McGui-
gan's referee, which has often been re-
marked, was further shown up last
night. When Red Ames fell, I'm told,
Messenger was perplexed and McGui-
gar jumped into the ring to explain
that Kenney had not knocked him out.
To the Sporting Editor of the Evening Star:
There seems to have been quite a
controversy regarding a cup which we
donated to the player in the County
League. who last season finished with
the highest batting average, and that
everything in connection with this may
be to the satisfaction of all parties
concerned. we are writing you outlining
the entire matter, and asking if 1t is
not possible for you to use our good
Offices in having this reach the party
to whom 1t is entitled.
AS William Hagenbruck, manager Of
the Newarks, who won the pennant in
the u m last year, had complied with
the bylaws of the league to the extent
of turning in his official scores after
each game, we received a letter from
Mr.. Fletcher, president Of the league,
advising us that this cup had been
awarded to Flanagan, of the Newarks.
A few days later, Levine called on us
and claimed that while his
had not turned in, after each game, the
official score, his batting average was
higher than that of Fl~annigan's. which
statement was later corroborated by
other officers of the league. This is
where the dissension has occurred. We
ourselves do not care who receives this
cup. other thai that it reaches the party
who is entitled to 1t, and after the
award we do not wan any possibility
of confusion.
Therefore, might we suggest that we
deliver this cup to you and that you
take the matter up with the league and
present it, after receiving the facts, to
the m who in your Judgment seems
to be entitled to 1t.
Trusting we have not taken up too
much of your valuable time and
thanking you in anticipation of your
assistance in helping us out of this
dificulty, we are, yours very truly,
e.. g.. KOENIG'S SONS,
Per #. E.. Steppe.
We are willing to help out in this
matter. but we do not gee how we can
settle 1t. We cannot see. however,
what better ground for a decision you
want than Felcher's letter. This mat
ter seems to be up to the officers Of the
league
Fletcher says that Flanagan should
get the cup and unless that order be
changed your course seems clear.-Ed.
