| am sure / voice the sentiments of
a goodly number of local patrons OF
the sport. I appeal to you as the
Major Domo" of cycling in this city
and your influence with Messrs.
Million and Uppercu should bring
about the desired result.
THE usual ten hour six-day race
with it's preceding Saturday night
meet would prove an appetizer to the
yearly Garden grind and help keep
up local interest in the sport during
the cessation of the out door sea-
son.
while the first race attempted
here did not prove the financial sue
cess expected there is no reason why
Messrs. Million and Uppercu should
not attempt to stage another race.
The proposed Toronto race having
fallen through why not give Newark
the chance? l am sure that the
$4,000 some odd of regulars and many
other of local and nearby sports
ture.
''Of course we could hardly expect
the galaxy of stars and field that
make up the Garden contingent, but
nevertheless our champion. Frank
Kramer, might see fit to ride and
overlook the size of bonus and prize
money. And then popular little
Jackie Clark might consent to ride,
not so much for the money in it, as
for the popularity to gain from his
many followers. Then Grenda and
some others who owe much of their
success to local support might be in
duced to ride in this event. James
Francis Moran might take the chance
just to show a few that he is still
, there and few of the lesser lights
who would be quite contented with

Battling Joe Fogler might kick in
il lust to see that Moran does no

Armory could be used to better ad-
vantage with a different seating
arrangement than at the last race.
Prices ranging from 80 cents to 81
would make it a paying venture and
well worth the consideration or
Messrs Million and Uppercu inter-
ests.
"Now, Mr. J. P. N, l trust to your
opinion and influence and here's
hoping for victory. [ am

To settle an argument once and for
all will you kindly give your valued
opinion on the following play:
Prospects and Annex A. c.. of West
Orange, the Annex had two men on
bases one on first and the other on
third, with one out The man at bat
grounded a ball to the Prospects
shortstop, who threw to second. fore
ing out the runner coming from first,
and the second baseman relayed to
first, retiring theebatter, completing
double play Where the argument oc-
CURED was that the runner on third
started for home at the crack of the
bat. and crossed the plate before the
ball reached first base The Annex
team claimed that the run should
count, while the Prospects said 1t was
illegal. Umpire also ruled that the
run counted and the Prospects were
governed by the umpire's ruling. Since
then there has been considerable con-
versation, pro and con, and several
bets have been made. To settle the
whole question would thank you for
your kind and esteemed judgment.
w. DUNN, JR.
Manager Prospect A. c. of West Or
ange.
The run should not have been
counted as the runner scored 1t on
play on which batter was retired for
third out before reaching first base.

would not carry it to Newark, it's des-
I tination. l asked the reason why and

barred all but printed matter being
| carried by one-cent stamp, even
if it was an open letter I have been
sending picture cards covered with
writing enclosed in open letters and
carried to all parts of Uncle Sam
domain for one cent. If you know
of any change in the postal regua-
lions regarding this proceeding you
would do a favor on many others

there has been no change in the regu-
lations, and the letter carrier was
right.
