II HE Patsy Kline-Tommy O'Too.e
match. proposed for the Ma
tional Sporting Club for Feb
ruary II, has been postponed until
February "a. Patsy's bad eye would
not allow him to fight on the first
mentioned date. 1t Is expected, though,
that he will be able to work the latter
date.
The dealings of the Atlanta Club, Of
the Southern League, with Billy Zim-
norman, whom they Won't pay as
much as a New York State League
team would, brings to my mind IN ar
gument for the Eastern Leagues plea
for Observation-Disclosures classifica-
ton, ] mean That league has a salary
limit slightly in excess of the New York
state League, and yet they want to be
considered a class A league. Why.
there Is more difference between the
Eastern League and the Southern than
between either major league and the
Eastern. The injustice of the Eastern
Leagues situation must bring about "a
change soon. 1t wouldn't surprise me
TO see the Eastern League elevated
next year above the three circuits nov
ranked with It.

If Bert Reyes can be signed he will
meet Pal Moore at the National Sport

night. II Bert Keyes can't be had
some other good lightweight. maybe
Murphy, will be matched with Pal.

Ad Wolgast says he's through with
the short bouts. We don't blame him
after his Wednesdays showing. He's
too sturdy q man to be judged by u
six-round workout. The bout did him
a world of good: 1t fractured his
swelled-up pride, which has been dis
gushing.
DR.. Eliot, former Harvard president,
has come out in favor of having the
winter sports free from restriction of
the present Sunday laws. That's the
first sensible piece Of talk we've heard
from a big man on sports in years,
Abe Rosenthal. recently manager of
Young Kurtz, has taken Al Spiro under
his wing. He wants to lake a crack at
Ray Hatfield any time. Rosenthal
thinks Spiro has a good show.
Player Herzog was not allowed his
pay while under suspension last sum-
mer by the Dove management. This
man surely appears to be a disturber.
and the treatment he has received he
seems to have deserved.

The soccer football game between the
Eureka and Plainfeld clubs, scheduled
for tomorrow, has been called off on
account of the bad condition of the
grounds.
70 the Sporting Editor OF the Evening Star:
Would you advise me whether to go
20 see the Dixie Kid-Kid Wilson fight
next Monday night, in view of the
Dixie KIDS reputation as a faker and
almost everything that is bad In fight
tng7 JOHN MANNING.
The Dixie Kid may fight on the level.
You'll have to take that chanc The
rest Of the card looks good.-Ed.
10 the Sporting Editor OF the Evening Star:
To settle a bet, please decide, accord
ing to newspaper verdict. II Abe Attic ]
ever got decision over Owen Moran, of
England. Yours. A. B. AND J.. B.
Some papers may have given one or
the other the decision, but the records
show their fights to have been draws.

90 the Sporting Editor OF the Evening Star;
/ wish to state my idea in reference
70 the way things which are going on
IN ~ScAoOlDOy games. fOr ilbtdlCcs we
will take the basketball league. o
see hat Belmont venue School Is
playing the Eighteenth Avenue School
Sor championship of the city. Belmont
has won the first game. The question
comes in now why Belmont Avenue
won the first gamer 1t Is a very easy
example to solve. l will tell you why.
Belmon Avenu has a gymnasium and
an instructor who watches them every
fdle minute and also in school hours
when the pupils go down to the gym"
for exercises. Eighteenth Avenue
school has not this advantage. They
have to do what Is best or what their
captain tells. Let the Board of Educa-
ton give them an instructor just for
a few days and I'll bet that they will
beat Belmont Avenue.
If Eighteenth Avenue gets an in
structor for a few days I'll bet anybody
In this city that Eighteenth Avenue
wins the championship. Trusting that
YOU will put this in the paper SO that
everybody can read 1t, I am, very truly
yours. A HIGH SCHOOL PLAYER.
