beginning to recognize Charley Vein
ert, and Percy Woodruff's boy from
| Orange is in demand over in Gotham
these days. Several promoters want
ed to sign up the Kid, but Manager
Woodruff couldn't see some of the
matches nohow. One manager came
along so strong, though, that Percy
couldn't turn the offer down, and as
a result Wenert is to fight Bob Nc
Allister. the latest Western ''phe-
nom, at the Atlantic Garden on
Christmas afternoon. The men will
meet att catch weights, and Weinert
will not have any the worst of the
poundage. Since Weinert defeated
Battling Levinsky. Manager Wood
ruff has had several opportunities to
have the boy box in Philadelphia,
Buffalo and points farther West. It
was Percy's plan to give Weinert a
rest and let him take on weight, but
when the McAllister proposition came
] along Woodruff couldn't very well
/ pass II up. So Welnert and McAllis-
ter will fight Christmas Day. 1t
should prove great enjoyment after
turkey dinner.

The Evening Star may be In a po-
sition in a few days to tell It's read
ers all about new first baseman
that is likely to play on the Newark
team next season. We have been told
who he is, but we have been pledged
to secrecy. Several changes. we have
it, are to be made In the Tigers in
field Don't be a bit surprised if you
find big Lacquer of much ability
holding down the initial sack, Getz
at second, Tooley at short and Enos
Kirkpatrick at third base. This, of
course, is not official, but it isn't far
off the straight line.

The controversy over Joe Tinker Is
still on. Charley Ebbets Is sitting still
with the winning hand and Cincin-
natl is buck-jumping with the losing
cards From the latest developments,
the many nasty things that we have
said about baseball in Cincinnati can
be multiplied by two and then some
added. No baseball men who know
baseball law would ever try to pull
such play as Cincinnati Is evidently
endeavoring to get away with. The
sale of Tinker, as sanctioned by Gar
ry Hermann. the president OF the
Cincinnati club, is as solid as a rock.
All the directors of the club and all
the wreckers in Cincinnati couldn't
get away from it. Mr.. Ebbets has
nothing to worry about as far as Gin
cinnati is concerned. His main OBJ
ject will be to get Tinker to sign the
contract and play shortstop for
Brooklyn. That may be some task
in itself but the Cincinnati protest
is the biggest joke ever sprung on an
assemblage of intelligent baseball
men.
Michigan, in securing game with
Harvard, may lose her game with
Pennsylvania, and as the Harvard
agreement Is for only one year the
Wolverines may get all the worst of
1t; but Pennsy shouldn't become so
pettish-so jealous. That Harvard
won't play Pennsylvania is nobody's
fault in particular and that Michigan
wants to play the Crimson team is all
4 ,ts
but she would be compelled to drop
Pennsy now if a choice had to be
made, for otherwise 1t would look too
much as IL she were allowing Pennsy
to dictate to her. Both games will
be appreciated and enjoyed. Let us
have them--and cut out the jealousy.

Have a hearth" has become very
those who use the words do not al
ways practise what they preach.
There is one man I know, though,
who has a heart and who shows 1T
in the right way. His name is Peter
Bey, and his address is AL Clinton
avenue. Mr.. Bey. by the way, is an
old friend of mine, and he felt as If
he would like to do a good turn for
the really poor through me. And ]
am pleased to help him, too. In the
mail this morning came a letter from
Mr.. Bey with check for $40 and the
following note:
j. p. N:
Friend Joe: Please see that one or
two poor families get a good Christ
mas dinner. Yours, etc, PETER.
Wen see that the money is put to
the very best use, Pete, and so we
have turned 1t over to the Evening
Stars Red Stocking Club. Those in
charge of this charity have thou
sand and one places to put it, and
you can rest assured that at least two
poor families will have merry
Christmas, thanks to Peter Bey
