| I wish to lodge a protest.
In the Star of August 1 read, OF
rather tried to read, a tumble of
words put up in poetry form. 1t is
not my intention to scott at Same
Bike Fanness," but he ought to be
made run the gauntlet for "a Pleas
| ant Sunday Afternoon"
Bulwer-Lytton once wrote: "Talent
convinces, genius but excites." Same
| Bike Fanness" must possess genius
for the poetry, if 1t may be called
that without christening it anew,
has excited me to write this letter.
AS I sit and re-read "a Pleasant
Sunday Afternoon" I wonder If it is
an attempt on the part of the writer
to uncover and expose the morbid
growths which are apt to cling para
sitically about the tender plant gen.
ius.
The world very often does not
know what to do with genius. You
cannot harness genius as it is pos
sible to do with talent. Genius will
not back into the shaft like lamb;
1t is impatient Of the bit and of the
whip; it does not draw it's load cheer
fully, and its wild blood makes it
hard to train. Genius is not in the
least a doeile creature as you no
doubt are aware from the fact that
"a Pleasant Sunday Afternoon" is
the second attempt at breaking the
reins.
If the world does not know what to
do with such genius as Same Bike
Fanness" possesses, j. P. N, you
ought to. AS a favor to your worthy
readers spare them the woeful task
of reading more of such. Basket all
others like it and do something worth
while for the Star patrons.
Yes, this may itself deserve being
basketed, and yet it would show our
aspiring poet the collar the public
wishes to control him with.
Maybe some will get my drift,
others will let 1t pass, what care I.
You got it, not?
HIGH SCHOOL SAM.
We publish them all. Sam, only
some are worse than others.

1t may boost the reputation of the
Annex A. c. to publish a lot of dope
on the baseball game they played
with the Central Athletics Sunday
afternoon at West orange. The score
was given out as follows: Annex, 13
runs. Is hits and errors, and Cenral,
runs. hits and errors, which was
correct. / don't think. The official
figures were 10 runs. IA hits and 2
errors for Annex, and 2 runs. 0 hits
and errors for Central. The Cen
trails challenge the Annex A. C. to a
game, to be played on neutral
grounds, and not on the Annex oval,
in West Orange, which resembled
Little Round Top" after. the Civil
War. Thank you.
GEORGE SMITH,
534 Fourth street, city,
Manager of Central Athletics.
If the Centrals want another chance
why not ask for it in the usual way.
To knock the team that beat them
isn't sporty at all. and the corrections
in the scores doesn't change the re-
| suit any.
