he boxes welI-what little we have
seen of him-but he'll have to come
out and produce the goods in the ring
with some of the leading ightweights
before he will be given the positive
/ stamp of approval He's a champion
in the winning battle only, and we'd
like to see his ability tested as a

Kindly publish in Your paper where
young men who work six full days a
week can play ball on Sunday? The
police will not let us play Sundays in
either East Orange or Newark, for
the reason that schoolboys who
break windows do not pay for them
They have the use of the public
parks, which we working boys have
not. RAYMOND AlABERTS,
Manager Akron f. C.
You are in hard straights, Ray
mond, but you can play on Newark
lots on Sunday, if you secure per-
mission. The parks are not opened
on the Sabbath, so no schoolboy has
ANYTHING on you in that respect.

What are the prospects of having a
team from this country compete for
the Davis tennis cup this year?
A. B. ].
From what we hear of the Aus
tralians, our boys win have to go
some to beat the Antipodeans in the
qualifying round in this country And
the trip to London is also looked upon
through dark-blue glasses. Since
W. A. Larned quit the trail our tennis
value hasn't been much above par,
although both Mclaughlin, a mighty
clever fellow, and Johnson, a young
ster and conner, are very depend
able players.
