A lot of money changed hands about
town last night on the result of the
Wilson-Stein battle at McGuigan's
in Harrison. Many bets were wagered
that Stein would go the ten rounds
There was some doubt about whether
Niu WiiSOI Hdu DlllCH OtClI. "A Mdh
who was in a position to see the hap
pening declared that Wilson had bitten
Stein on the ear. THE physician who
said otherwise was crazy" said this
man.
After the fight there was a lot of
Joking about the miserable main bout,
which was styled the dog fight"
Poor Stein was helpless against the
attack and couldn't return the bite"
one fellow said, because he wears
false teeth. which he always discards
before entering the ring"
Dan McKetrlck was In McGuigan's
last night. He said that Jack john
son wound not meet Sam Langford be-
fore the latter had fought Joe Jean
nette over the long route or to a finish.
Dan also said that johnson was will
ing to bet $4,000 that the Hoboken
negro could beat the Boston Tar Baby.
Baseball is sports great unsullied in
Btitution. It is free from scandal. 1t
stands out prominently over every
other sport because the gambler Is not
part of the game.
II is a bad sign thai gamblers have
their eyes on baseball. even going so
far as to express all over the country
schedules containing odds on and
aoa,nat oil taama in the professional
baseball leagues.
Drastic action ia necessary at once.
