time the war must be real. There
must be no compromising of affairs.
There must be a winner and loser,
and let the losers pay the penalty.
A war will do the game good and
stop lot of nonsense for long time
to come. The brave men who went
into the last war would be back again
at their old Job, and they might as
we'll be put to work today as tomor-
row-the sooner the quicker.

e. de B. Newman, representing the
Cycle Racing Association, Is In To-
ronto at present, where he has ar
ranged to hold slx-day short-hour
race either the last week in March
OF the first week in April. Incidental
ly, Mr.. Newman has secured an option
on the big arena In Toronto to con-
duct q six-day race there next fall. In
Buffalo may also be held six-day
race next fall.
g
Toronto, by the way, may become
the home of q motordrome We are
sorry for Toronto If this IL so. George
Kraemer, the motordrome promoter,
Is up in Toronto at the present time,
and he Is endeavoring to arrange for
the erection of one of those vast mon
uments. Kraemer also tried to Sc
cure the arena for a six-day race,
but he failed. Mr.. Newman got the
date for Messrs. Million and Uppercu.
This will be pleasing news to the
riders, who will get little spending
money up in Toronto and also round
themselves into shape for the sea-
son.

George Stallings, manager of the
Boston Braves, Is quoted as saying
to John X. Tener, the new president
of the National League. that the UNI
pires In that organization are all
right. II Stallings says an umpire
is all right, said official must be a
wonder, and to say the whole Ma
tional League staff is o. K. is too
much entirely. Maybe there is a
method in Stallingss goodness of
heart. You know, they do say that
the players on the diamond are al
ways Kicking for the next one" Per-
haps Stallings is looking ahead for
the close ones next season.
@
Stalllngs. by the way, has a soft
spot in his heart for Newark, and
more than once since he left here to
manage the New York Yankees he
has wished that he was back. STALL
ings did a lot for Newark In a base
ball way, and he surely increased the
standard of the game in this city. He
played to big crowds and he made
more than $4,000 for the club, which
has only been beaten once, and that
time with pennant-w winning team
this year. Stallings was in attend
ance at the National League meeting
in New York, and he dropped into the
| six-day race at the Garden with his
two sons. both strapping fellows OF
the most gallant Southern type. One
of the boys is as big as mis- father
and the other one promises to be.
Flows everything. George?" 1
asked. And how's your ball team p"
Everything Is going fine with me
at present." Stallings replied. with
one of those famous sunny smiles of
his, "but my ball team-well, my ball
| team isn't much"
O.
| And Stallings meant every word he
said. He told me the opening day last
year at the Polo Grounds after his
team had beaten the Giants that he
didn't have much of a club but that
he expected to before long. So 1t
turned out, for the Braves played
pretty good ball toward the latter
part Of the season. Stallings seems
to be in the same boat this year. He
has fair team to start with, and
the prospect of him whipping the
Braves into the first division are very
bright And not to forget that STALL
ings has a soft spot In his heart for
Newark, the big CHIEF remarked:
Honestly. as much as would like to
win the National League pennant and
the worlds series, have always felt
that I would have been content If I
had remained In Newark"

With Joe Tinker a Superba for
sure, Charles II. Ebbets, ST., is back
home, ''the happiest man In the
world" And, mind you, he has good
reason to be. In securing Tinker Eb-
bets made the greatest deal In his
baseball career. He paid $4,000 Tor
the player, and he has received be-
sides the original package about ST.
100000 worth of advertising. Another
point, Ebbets will probably multiply
that million by two, for he can get
more advertising out of anything
than any man know of. Yes. $4,000
for Tinker is dirt cheap" He will

Brooklyn one of those 100000 infields
we hear so much about. Already the
statisticians are comparing the
Brooklyn infleld with the Philadel-
phia Athletics infield. For any In

mentioned in the same breath with

most unpurchasable honor, yet a few
