When the Newark Baseball and
Amusement Company holds it's an
nual election OF officers in the Ordway
building next Monday afternoon,
have been Informed that new pres
ident will be chosen, vice George L.
Solomon deposed. That is just about
the way the information comes to
me, and the baseball fans of this
city who encountered the Solomon
methods in vogue during the past sea-
son at Wiedemayer's Park will no
doubt be delighted to hear of the
prospective change in the head of the
club. Not that the president of a
club makes much difference In most
cases. but in this particular case
Solomon was really a detriment to the
organization. In the first place,
Harry Smith, the manager, didn't
want him around and the players had
no use for him at all. Many of the
patrons of the game were loud IN
their criticism of Solomon. and under
the circumstances Messrs. Ebbets. the
McKeevers and Medicus have done
well to consider a change.
c. 4
AS a successor to Solomon the
name of Charles Ebbets, Jr., bios
SONS forth He will be a most ac-
ceptable president. He Is son of
shrewd baseball man. and he will
have the advice of his noble sire II
needs be. At one time it was said
that Mr.. Medieus would come over to
Newark and run things. and Edward
Mex ever. one of the famous broth
ers. was also mentioned for the honor
Larry Sutton. the scout. might have
had the presidency. but he wouldn't
take it in any event. Most anybody
with common sense will do as presi-
dent of the Newark Club. but we
won't stand for Mr.. Solomon.

A private cable from Paris, France,
contains the information that while
Walter Rutt was badly injured when
he fell at the Velodrome D'Hiver in a
sprint race last Sunday, the great
German cyclist was not fatally hurt.
His injuries are very painful, but 1t
is believeduhe will recover.
G
p. Powers, 1t is said, admits he made
a big mistake in playing to the anti
cycling organ, and he Is repenting
so appeallngly that he may eventu-
ally be forgiven. Powers will have to
do a lot of soft-soaping In order to
get Floyd mcfarland to help him
out with his New York siX-day prob
lem. Mac" after his great success
in the Boston race, has made name
for himself and the way Frank Min
lon is handing out the praises to him,
why mcfarland should worry"
about P. Powers or any other short
time" promoter, Mac Is going to
be the "big show around here next
year. and he really would feel much
obliged to his fiat friend" If p would
ever. as Powers is said to have de-
MED most of the interviews credited
to him in the anti-cycling newspa-
per, and wants to be good friends
with everybody, MacFarland may
consent to see what he can do FOR his
false friend.

Young Gradwell, the local light
weight. matched his skill against the
hardest kind of slugger in Sailor
Donahey last night in the main event
of ten rounds at Browns Gymnasium,
New York, and won by a wide mar
gin. The local boxer weighed 1856
pounds and his opponent 1924.
From the very outset Gradwell
showed himself master of the situa-
ton, and drove over hooks and jolts
with either hand sufficient to dispose
of any ordinary boxer. Owing to the
peculiar style of defense employed by
Donahey, II was hard for 1rauwe.I TO
show to advantage, but he had his
opponents face cut and bruised al
most beyond recognition at the end.
The semi-final of ten rounds, in
which Tommy Moore. of Providence.
outpointed Buddy Ryan, of the west
side, was a better exhibition from a
boxing standpoint.

delphia, where they were great rivals.

of exciting boxing when Charlie
Victor, of Jersey City, will meet

May Cancel Bout.

Jess Willard, the Nebraska heavy
weight, and Carl Morris. of Okla
homa. will probably have to cancel
the bout for which they were
matched to appear In New York on
December 2. The State Athletic
Commission has ruled against Will
lard s appearance in New York until
he straightens out his contract with
Buffalo club last January, when he
failed to appear.
