Newark evening star and Newark advertiser. [volume] (Newark, N.J.) 1909-1916, 1911-02-20

published in the STAR last Wednes-
day.
The letter speaks for itself. Chance
refutes the local sporting editors
charge that he'd resort to such mean
tactics as the above mentioned editor
charges. That's another ditch of mud
this fellow has fallen INTO in his eff
forts to explain to his readers why
his paper did not have the Vanguard
story when the STAR was smart
enough to get it, and not be placed
under a confidence to accomplish it.
Ills plumbers about Crandall and Nc
Ginnity's declaration in the Sunday
Call yesterday that he never even
dreamed of getting Crandall are the
laugh of the town. Letters came In
today to the writer's desk showing
the feeling. Wen only publish a couple
of them to show where we stand In
the matter with the fans.
Wild assertions like those made
within the last week by the sporting
editor In question should be dissected
TO let the public know whether a w
paper column is run to convey news.
just criticism or just TO satisfy per-
sonal spleen.
This will close the argument we have.
We await an explanation from our ION
temporary on three matters-our dis
honesty. a local mans tampering with
Joe Crisp and Chances so-called en-

While we don't agree with Ad VOL
CASTS estimate Of himself altogether.
we think there is a great deal of truth
in what he says about Knockout
Brown.
Brown will never be a cham
pion," says Ad. HE has been
given a great reputation by the
Eastern critics because he has
knocked out a lot of dubs. He hasn't
any terrible punch. I purposely let
him hit me several times on the point
of the jaw, and can say that I was not
hurt by any of the blows he landed
Whenever ] got to doing any might
ing at Philadelphia Jack O'Brien would
shove me back, and in turn would let
Brown hang on as long as he wanted
to.
IT intend to cut loose with both hands
with Brown In the New York fight and
try to stop him and put ar end to his
little championship dream"

out again. He is trying to explain why
Newark will not get In big league
players If Frank Chance knows 1t. This
is another of those fishy stories that
he is celebrated for. If this soreheaa
would devote a little more time to
sporting news and less to g~ossiping
the fans who read his column would
know what McGinnity Is doing for
Newark and they would cut out knock

To the Sporting Editor Of the Evening Star:
You are to be congratulated on your
come back to the squealer. You have
him beaten a million ways on baseball.
The real sports are wise to his little
game. Here's luck to you and your
staff. Everybody looks to the STAR
for baseball.

Wilson should win over Joe Stein,
the New Yorker, when they meet. is
the belief of many. Stein is a good
boy and has a fine record, but 1t is
doubtful If he could take the punish
ment of the Orange boy in a long fight,
and he would suffer hard at inlghtins.
The match will probably be staged at
NcGuigan's later.
