who used to eat. sleep and drink
Jack Britton, admitted. but some
time afterward and with tears in his
voice, that Packey was too clever for
Britton. Now we know it, for his
fight against. Murphy is perhaps evil
dence that he hasn't much further
to go among the leading lightweights.
Pretty good boy that he is, Richie,
Rivers and Anderson would probably
put him to sleep if SUCH battles ever
occur.

Who is the captain of the Newark
International League Club?
PHONE.
There isn't any Harry Smith is
manager, first lieutenant and battal-

Tigers.
Please answer if any league team
ever went through a full season
without meeting defeat. G. T. L.
1t hasn't come to my ears il such
a thing happened in a regular
I league. The nearest approach to sucn
record occurred in 1875, when the
Boston team won every game it
played ON its home grounds. Of
course. II you want to count some
OF these fireworks leagues" which
blow up the minute the fuse is set
off, it might have happened, but

Kindly settle the following question,
which arose during game OF
pinochle, as follows: The game was
! two-h handed. Hearts were trump. A
had NEEDED forty trumps. B led a
card, A taking the trick with the king

taking trick, laid down the king, ace

was a second king, not the one with
which he took the trick. his $50, OF

he had only one king-the one with
which he took the trick-he could not
