favor. This is the Newark baseball
situation as 1 view it. If 1t is of any
value to those who contemplate pur-
chasing the club they are welcome
to 1t. II not, no harm is done.
o
The American League, as a playing
organization. shines over the Ma
tional League. In all the four post
season series championships, the
Americans were not beaten for the
honors on a single occasion. The
Athletics swamped the Giants for the
worlds title by winning A games to
l. and the Chicago White Sox beat
the doughty Cubs games to 2.
Cleveland. in defeating Pittsburgh
games to 8. accomplished a difficult
task. and the two st. Louis teams,
both of which finished absolutely last
in their respective leagues, played
to tie in their strenuous series of
games. The result was and with
two tie games and a riot thrown in
for good measure. The outcome of
the various series surely makes the
National League look cheap. Their
three best teams-New York, Chicago
and Pittsburgh-were swamped. and
1t, didn't take the three best teams
In the American League to do 1t,
either. AS they stand today, the
American League is the stronger by
long odds.
Jackie Clark was in the Star Office
yesterday to see my boss about me,
and later he made call at my desk
He explained to me very nicely how
I had been misinformed as to his
teaming Sunday with Fogler and Cav
anagh. He also told me how fond he
was of the Star and of my writings
and said 1t was the only Newark
paper he read He didn't tell me,
though, that he had been in to see
my boss Now that know how poor
Little Jackie" plays the game, 1 may
be able to give him an argument. To
be a great bicycle rider doesn't make
one any the less q sneak or snake.
The "Poor Abused Little Fellow" got
no satisfaction from my boss, but
did try to make it easy for him. He
is still the same Clark, though. who
"laid down" to Walter Rutt in the
New York six-day race last year and
who bought up his victory in the
Berlin six-day race. Thus he is ver-
satile-he sells and buys, just as the
occasion strikes him.
C
The Boston six-day race promises
to be the best ever seen there If the
pairings are to be taken as a cri-
terion. Ten teams are to accept the
word at the start of the race, and a
nifty aggregation it is. The most
popular team, as far as Boston is con-
cerned, is sure to be Moran and Cav
anagh. Other teams entered are Hill
and Collins, Root and Mcnamara,
Coburn and Carmen, Lawrence and
Ryan, Anderson and Hansen, Fogler
and Lawson. Spears and Cory and
Kopsly and KeefeA Clark and Hehir
are probabilities.

Frank Kramer is more than wor-
ried over the way Bob Spears de-
feated him last Sunday. The cham
pion is beginning to realize that he
can't race all the year around and
be at his best, and he has about de-
cided to give up six-day racing en-
tirely. He feels. too, it is said, that
he should not even sprint during the
winter months. but he has signed a
contract to race in Paris, and he
can't very well get out of it. Next
year. however, it is a good gamble
that Kramer will confine his entire
riding efforts to sprint races in this
country.

As usual, Kramer Is working hard
for his match with Spears next Sun
day. The champion is sprinting twice
day, despite the pleadings of his
friends that he needs a rest.
What | want" Kramer says, sis
work, and I'll be fit all right when
it's time to race. Spears beat me, but
/ feel sure that l will dispose of him
the next time"
To be beaten by Spears was hui
initiating and the champion felt it
keenly. He would not have felt half
so badly If Goullet or Shark or
Grenda had done the trick. To fall
before an OUTLAW" was a bitter pill
indeed.
j. P. NJ:
l am a very steady goer to the BIZ
cycle races. Now l often hear peo-
pie say, and also see it in print,
about Kramer's independence. Now,
over that my gentleman friend (now
don't misunderstood me about this,
he is just one of my friends, as l do
not keep company and have no desire
to) and l had a bad falling out. 1
claim that independence is every
thing, If you can be Independent
