A MAN who knows George Stall
"A lines very well told me today
that on Monday he saw the
Bison leader leave the Office Of the
Newark Baseball Club in the Union
building in Clinton street. -
1nasmuch as George Stallings should
have no particular business in this
city on that day, a visit by Stallings
here means that there may be some
thing doing in that sale story after
all.
The writer could not run Gown any
thing tangible about he yarn today.
The man who told me he SAY Stallings
leave the Newark Clubs Office was
positive about the incident, but we
could not verify it from Buffalo that
the Bison leader was not there that
day.
The inference we take from the visit,
If there was one, is that Stallings Is
trying to come back here. where he
would be welcomed, as he is a manag IT
par excellence.
However. 1t does not seem likely that
the Newark Gu would sell out nov
when they must necessary dispose Of
the club at a sacrifice.
We doubt If anything will happen
this year, unless the club goes terribly
in a hole.
This may happen if there isn't "a
brace in playing before long. as New
ark is VIGOROUSLY bad supporting poor
ball teama.
The eighth annual tournament Of the
New Jersey State Sportsmen's Asso-
citation. which will include the State
three-nan, two-man and individual
championship, starts on the Smith Gun
Club traps a week from today. All the
best shooters in the State will take a
crack ct the championship events.
Particular attention is being paid to
the individual competition because the
present champion. Charles T. Day, jr.,
is a member of that club.

Dots Millerfs injured hand will
likely Keep him out of. the game for
some time. In the first inning of the
FIRST game against Brooklyn Tuesday
Dots was hit on the knuckles of his
right hand with one of Pitcher Scan
Ions fast ones, and had to retire.
Little Toby, X. O. Browns mascot.
says his man will be all right tonight
for Tommy Murphy at the Madison A.
C.. Maybe he will, but maybe he won't.
We look for Brown to do better this
time, but we can't see where he will
win unless he gets in a lucky punch.
As to that other good New York
scrap at the Twentieth Century A. C.
tonight. Young Ahearn should outpoint
Jack Goodman.
-fO;-
jack Britton. the clever Chicago
Cfafuroiohf iG oprfain1u having hge
own troubles trying to induce some of
the good lightweights to meet him in a
ten-round tout At the Twentieth Cen
tury A. c. lack Costello, manager of
Pritton. is willing to match Britton
against Young Ahearn, Jack Goodman.
Tommy Murphy, Matt Wells or Sammy
18th.
Ad Wolgast is now a , to ) favorite
over frankie Burns. the California
lightweight, whom he meets Saturday
in Frisco. 4
Many wagers are posted on the basis
that Burns ont respond for the
eighteenth round
Ad seems to be in no danger of los
ing his title in this bout. but Burns
should put up a pretty good fight, be-
cause Wolgast is such a slow starter.
