It's strange how some people ar,

It's not good business to have toe

frankie Burns is going to box at the
Lotus Club, in Perth Amboy, against
some capable opponent before very
long.
Poor McGinnity! He ran over to
New Yoxk yesterday between times,
gathered in Outfielder Bailey, of the
Yankees. and got back with his new
man just in time to jump into a uni
form and pitch against the Skeeters,
One would almost sympathize with the
: Iron Man in his desperation.
Outside of reliable pitchers. McGin-
nifty does not want new players SC
much as harmony and good feeling
among those he has.
To the Sporting Editor of the Evening Star:
The management of the Princess A.
C. wishes to announce that the club
will close for the summer season and
that when 1t reopens we will have one
of the most commodious and best
equipped clubs in the city, taking In
three adjoining rooms and making in
& all a seating capacity of more thar
1000.
We realize that the weather is too
warm at the present time, and as we
ave many alterations to make, we
have decided to begin work at once
and have everything ready for a grand
opening in September.
Thanking you heartily for your kind.
nesses, 1 am, yours very truly,
j. D. O'BRIEN.
We shudder to think that they shall
some day call automobile racing sport.
Any diversion that so endangers. life
: as this mad feature of present-day
folly can never be truly called a sport.
To the Sporting Editor of the Evening Star:
You know I told you last winter that
I didn't want nothing for nay boy, UNI
less he made good. 1 certainly feel
that he put Newark on the map Fri
day night. He was undoubtedly the
hero of the evening and the biggest
star of the season. I am an old vet
eran of fighting experience for twenty
two years, and II l haven't got a cham
pion, leave 1t to me. You know my
work has always been up to date. And
I know what a good man is, from A TO
u. in the boxing game. And this big
~22-year-old kid will make the city of
Newark famous in another twelve
months.
Jack johnson was there and shook
hands with him n says he is the
goods" 7 guess the people over there
are surprised to see what I nave done
with this big raw boy in such a short
/ space of time.
The championship throne is where |
am aiming and am sure to land there,
and with both feet on the spot. Yours,
jim JOHNSON,
The Veteran Trainer of the Prize Ring.

The writer Immediately called Glas-
sen on the phone and his only excuse
was that he thought his game with the
Newark A. c. was in the morning, but
as 1t was booked for the afternoon he
was compelled to cancel both games;
