EATING CROW

counts, is a fast sprinter, and McNa-
mara is an excellent plugger. How
they will perform against Kramer
Goullet, Clark, Grenda, Cavanagh
and Fogler, the famous big Six" OF
the Velodrome, is sure to excite
curiosity and then when the individ-
ual match races follow Sunday-say
Mcnamara VS.. Cavanagh or Spears
VS.. Grenda-the fans will be fairly
boiling to witness the contests.

No matter what the conditions of
the peace negotiations, there will al
ways be a hard feeling against the
outlaws" The fact that by going
across the street made it possible for
all concerned to get piece of change
doesn't alter the case in the least
The outlaws" will always be out
laws" to the regulars" and there is
sure to be more or less trouble all the
time. The referee has had his feel
but his troubles, with the OUTLAWS"
clashing with the regulars" are only
just beginning.

One thing you can say for the
outlaws" they are taking their med
icine without much complaint. 1t is
hard to "eat crow" but the OUTLAWS"
are doing ii like gamesters. They
have promised to pay their fines and
the regulars" have promised to ac-
cept them. AS the OUTLAWS" drop
the coins in the box they may put on
a wry face and the regulars" at the
same time, are sure to smile. Still all
are to race on the same track, which
means that they are "brothers,
whether they like 1t or not.
The Army-Navy football game is
creating the usual discussion again
this year. Those in charge have de-
cided upon the date for this year
game, but are unable to agree upon
the place to play. Nearly every year
this same trouble arises The Army
authorities are very set this time, 1t
would seem. They say the game must
be played in New York regularly or
else alternate the contest between
West Point and Annapolis. The Polo
Grounds in New York would be dandy
and handy, while it Is admitted that
West Point and Annapolis would not
be able to properly take care of the
crowds. The Cadets have always OBJ
jected to their allotment of seats at
Franklin Field in Philadelphia, while
the Middies appear to believe that
the Quaker City is the only place tc
play. AS on previous occasions, after
the arguments pro and con are al
over the decision, no doubt, will agar
be to play at Franklin Field, although
the Polo Grounds would surely be tn,
ideal spot. And another thing, to b,
selfish about 1t, we could get home fol
dinner.
An admirer of Freddy Welsh, tn,
English champion, disagrees with m,
as to the merits of Welsh as an OPP
ponent for Champion Richie 1t Il
not my fault and doesn't change m,
opinion any. Several years ago Welsl
was one of the best lightweights il
| the business. but there are half
dozen boys roaming around at pres
ent who could beat the Briton easily
Welsh is lucky to get the bout witt
Richie. He will secure. no doubt,
fine chunk of money, but he'll get
beating in the bargain. The letter i
as follows:
j. p. N:
In answer to your roasting Will
Richie for making a match wit
Freddie Welsh. am surprised to Sc
you show Welsh up in such a poo
light, and say that Richie is lookin
for easy meat. Do you know tina
Welsh is the champion of England
which none of you sporting writer
attach to his name? In the secon
place he fought Packey MacFarlan
three draws. and little over a yea
ago he bested Richie on the coast
} although Willie was given very shor
notice. This. as you will not,
