did yesterday, he would be willing, nc
doubt, to have similar defeats come
every other day. Publicity is one of
MACS" greatest assets, and he loves
1t dearly. He doesn't always care,
either, whether you say nice things
about him, but he does hate to have
his name left out of the papers day
after day. Now, however, that the
anti-cycling newspaper has put him
on the "roast preferred list" MacFar-
land feels as If life were worth the
living. AS Mac" says:
well, I'm back here and I'm going
to be over in the Garden and I'm get
ting my name in the papers so many
times that really such kipdnesses are
likely to turn my head. Whether I won
or lost in my battle with Mr.. Powers
doesn't matter. am too busy con-
graduating myself ON all the attention
I am getting to discuss such unimpor-
tant things"
Oh you,, Mcfarland, is all that I
can say in the matter.

"Junks," in his letter of yesterday
! to the Evening Star. has said the
! truth in talking of Joe Fogler and in
defending him and in admitting he is
great day rider. We cannot I'M
derstand the reason why ALI Goullet
has advanced the idea of having
| Grenda as partner instead of Fogler
/ in the next race at Madison Square
Garden. Goullet is certainly a great
rider and If in real form will show the
way to many of the other riders, in
Guiding 1.-The Rocket" Jackie Clark.
But what he needs for success is a
man that will keep him up to the final
| sprint. We know Fogler can do that
We are sure Goullet will consider the
matter over and we will certainly be
glad to see the two blonde riders race
| together and in good harmony.
A few words to you, "Mr. Junks," in
regard to our letter of last Monday.
! We did not intend to advance any
dope as to the probable winner of
the six-day race, but simply wished to
criticise the local paper that was do
ing so. Sorry we were misunderstood!
We have never been very fond OF
"chiromancy," to be able to guess be-
| forehand who is going to win the six
| day race! So l am abliged to you,
mr. Junks," for the leg of your
bird. which, l think, was sent to the
wrong destination. That LEG" is
really "indigestible." We are glad to
read in the Evening Star the sane
ton" to what we said a few weeks
| ago to United States Fanness."
! Verri is believed to be one of the best
| riders at the present day. He Is
| matched in a four cornered race with
Perchicot, Clark and Champion Kra-
mer. That's going some And we ex-
pect Verri to show his real form and
win place in the next six-day race.
Hoping to see Mr.. j. P. N. at Madi-
son Square Garden in December
watching the race with his critical
and expert eye, and without any sug-
gestion of mask, we remain, yours
truly. ). y. 60

have been very much interested in
the coming six-day race, and was
very sorry to read In your sporting
column that Walter Rutt, the great
six-day rider who has given THE fans
such good, clean racing, will not be
here this year. / have read much
about Clark laying down. to Rutt
but | have seen Clark defeated by
Rutt after a six-day grind in an
extra-mile race. Rutt rode around
Clark in the last lap. | can only say
that with Rutt out of the race there
is one bright star missing. Is there
no way to get him in shape for the
race? How about Lorenz and Saldow?
These two boys made a good show
ing. Why not get them, If you can't
get Rutt? Yours truly, G. d.

J. P. N:
In your sporting columns of late
you have been knocking the Railway
High School football team all you
possibly could. You know, as a fair
minded sport, that they are in line
for the championship, as well as
East Orange. In recent issue you
stated they did not play teams in
their own county, such as Westfield.
Has East Orange played all the minor
teams of the State and city of New
ark? No. Railway has played Dick
inson High School, of Jersey City, and
defeated them 16 to Z. East Orange
has failed to stack up against this
team, so where do they get their
claim for the championship? Rah-
way has defeated Barringer IA to 7;
East Orange has not played this team
as yet. So why you cannot see Rah-
way as a contender for the cham
pionship I and others fail to see.
Kindly let us know through your
sporting columns what you think of
this. / am, yours for clean sport,
A. H. SCHAEFER.
You have misinterpreted our atti-
tude toward Railway, old man. We
are not knocking anyone. We have
merely called attention to the fact
that the Railway High School eleven
has been claiming the football cham
| pionship of the State, whereas Roselle
High School claims Railway refuses
to play her team on her only open
date. We do not ignore Railway as
a contender, but as the actual cham
pion of the State Railway will have to
tackle Roselle, a good strong team in
Railways own county, and await the
result of the Barringer East Orange
game.

J. P. N:
was surprised to read q piece in
your paper last night stating that
Railway High School had refused to
meet Roselle High School for the
championship of Union county. The
Railway Roselle game was originally
dated November 8, but owing to a
misunderstanding concerning the al
legged professionalism in the Railway
ranks, the game was postponed until
November II. At the last hour Ro-
selle asked for a postponement. 1t
was then decided to stage the contest
on November IS. On November II
Roselle asked for another postpone
ment Perhaps Roselle thought Rah-
way would get tired If they continued
to ask for postponements and finally
refuse to play them, in which event
| they could then claim the county
championship: But Railway, being
ANXIOUS to play Roselle, asked that
| the game be played on November %.
Roselle refuses to play Railway on
