DILL LANG and Sam Langford
d fight In London tonight for a
good purse. There is little Lang
money at 10 to 7 odds. The American
negro looks the goods. There should
be no knockout, and Langford ought
to get the decision.
frankie Burns. the Jersey City ban
tam, meets ALI Lynch at New Haven
tomorrow.
The argument we had with j. p. N,
of the Evening News, will be closed
with today's issue. We now know that
writer's position exactly. AS to our
dishonesty, he has failed to come for
ward to prove it. AS to Tom Cahill's
tamperiug with Joe Crisp. he published
a long interview yesterday with Joe
McGinnity, which does not substantiate
the charge. The statement hints at
UNATTENDED tampering. That was
not the charge made by the sporting
editor.
AS to the CHANCE matter, he was
given a knockout blow. CahilIs letter.
printed in today's STAR, is a frank
Acknowledgement of his connection
with the Crisp case. We think the
charge OF "tampering' is not proven.
We say goodby to the matter with
these remarks: That Joe McGinnity
himself said that he did not see ]. p. N.
Saturday night, as the latter stated in
his column yesterday; that the inter-
view therein printed was not obtained
by +. F. N, but by one OF his reporters.
and that he never used the word spy"
which was attributed to him.
Never. ]. P. N. say anything again,
unless you are sure of it.

Your action in not printing s"Con-

slant Reader kind In Newark we
would have a well-supported city AMI
county league. I'll bet he is a collec-
tion-box dodger. We have the best
lot of young semi- pro players In the
country hereabouts and the man
ayers of the minor league clubs
know It. We should be glad to see so
many Of our local boys getting try
outs in the several leagues and let's
all root hard for every one of them to
make good and go higher up. A great
deal Of credit Is due the different man
ayers who developed these players, as
we'll as yourself. who devote your time
personally and through your column
to make the city and county league
successes, and encouraged our young
blood on the sand-lots. Very respect
fully yours. H. g. REILLY.
