but there is SO much money back of
the Giants that only small odds, If
any. will prevail.

Betting is a bad thing for baseball,
but what can the powers that-be do
about it? Men will gamble-and
women, too, for that matter. The
betting on the last worlds series Gre
| ated q scandal. For time it looked
as if it would give the game an awful
| whack. 1t hurt it much at that, es-
pecially the American League club
in Boston. The Boston fans shouted
'Fake." just as soon as it looked
as il the Giants might win. When
their own team finally won they were
so ashamed of themselves that they
beat 1t to cover. However, they never
did forgive the Red Sox, and they
didn't support that team this year.
! They have turned their love to the
National League, and George Stall
ings and his dandy little team got a
| big play in Boston during the season.

The following letter has something
| to say for both sides:
j. P. NJ:
/ certainly must give you credit
| for publishing the "panning" you re-
| ceived in the Saturday Evening Star
when you could have easily thrown
| it in the waste basket. You surely
are a, game fellow, although | think
+, you have jumped the line in roasting
| Solomon, of the Newark club. He
gave us a good ball club and good
manager, who is working hard LII
| he feels a bit stuck up about it he
| has reasons lust now. Don't be sid
| ing in with the poor ball players, for
/ they are the hardest people in the
| world to manage. They will endeaVor
! to make the public believe that they
are getting the worst of it all the
| way. when they are really receiving
J the better of it. Just look at Aitchl-
| son, for instance. A FAN.
Thanks for the credit. Solomon, by
listening to the pests" and doing a
lot of .'gabbing" himself, brought on
| the roasting. He isn't a martyr nor
deserving of sympathy. He just can't
help being nasty. The players gen
orally get the best of everything be-
| cause they are looked upon as pub
! lie idols" I always try to be fair to
| both sides-the owner and the player.
Aitchison has made a big mistake,
but perhaps he'll be better off when
he comes to his senses.

The fight at the Atlantic Gardens,
in New York, last night was a huge
joke. Sam Langford so frightened
John Lester Johnson that he quit
like q mouse in the very first round.
Sam didn't hurt him. He just gave
him a look, hooked the left to the
body and Johnson dropped to the
floor, complaining of being fouled.
He got up, took a few more taps and
was surprised over the quick termina-
ton of the affair. He had been told
that Johnson was q good man, and
he did show considerable class against
Joe Jeanette. With Langford as an
opponent, however, Johnson was q
lamb. The science and the punch
he displayed with Jeanette were
missing. Sans glare was more than
Joe's whole category of implements of
pugilistic warfare.
G
Sam Langford is a good fighting
man and he will be big favorite if
| he is allowed to fight and is not kept
from fighting. He is striving for a
match with Gunboat Smith, and the
Boxing Commission seems to favor
| it. If the bout is permitted it will
prove the biggest attraction of the
year.

| In parting company with Tommy
Burns, Arthur Pelky has accused
! Burns of being a faker. He declares
! that Tommy framed up their fight
! and that they rehearsed it for a
week. He says that he could have
/ won any time, but that he allowed
| Burns to stay the six rounds. Then
Burns assumed the management of
Pelky and has been boosting him ever
since. What brought about the break
! is not known. Pelky just quit and
comes out with statement. Burns
says that PellSy is not telling the
truth and declares the fight was on
the level. Pelky says he couldn't
keep the matter to himself any long
err. 1t was hurting him and he had
! to tell He hasn't announced his
plans for the future, but some wise
owl is sure to pick him up and tow
| him on to New York where there
lis a few thousand waiting for just
such a heavyweight as Pelky. He
can fight Frank Moran or Gunboat
| Smith. A bout with either would
draw big. Come on, Pelky, and get
the dough.
