matter what the inducements, but
now, with the players salaries sky
high and everything going up, it
behooves the owners to take a safe
matter. That is what Mr.. Ebbets is
doing, and because of it the Newark
fans will be able to see baseball
game every day in the week and
perhaps two games on Sunday.

The Happy Ramblers have a lot of
money to bet, and they want Kid
Boonton's manager to cover it. The
matter is put up to the rival crew
in the following well-chosen remarks:
Newark March u.
J. p. N:
The story about Boonton's manager
stating that he is ready to put $500
on the fight is all talk, as there is
$500 or more up at the Happy Ram
blers' Association for the last three
weeks, and it seems as If all the
members have given up hope of get
ting a bet. 1t was said that the
Boonton crowd was willing to bet on
knockout, but got cold feet as
soon as it heard that we were willing
to take the bet
We have given in to all that the
Boonton crowd has asked, and are
willing to give way more If only to
get a bet. We believe that 1t was
some of your J. p. n. comment that
got the Orange boys cold feet. They
were under the impression that you
were going to pick Boonton as an
easy winner, but when you wrote
that Banty had an even chance they
became pretty well discouraged. The
situation, any way you take it, is an
even break, and it viii be a hard
proposition to pick the winner. There
happen to be sports in the Rambler
Club willing TO back any of their
pugilist members for all they have,
but by being more than willing is
what made the Orange sports sit up
and consider
but we seem to be successful with our
annual ball and get back some of our
| losses. BY good arrangements and a
little luck we happen to have ball
on Saturday evening, the twenty
| first, four DAYS after the fight, at the
| New Columbia Hall. 224 Court street.
| Win or lose, we hope to see some of
the Orange sports present.
A CONTINENT HIKER.
@
| A few kind words for the Happy
Ramblers are contained In the follow
ing letter:
| J. p. N:
| As I know that the quickest and
| best way to spread news is in your
column, | enclose the following story
| of how the name Happy Ramblers
broke UP a clique in South Side High
! School. On Wednesday during the
faculty basketball game between
South Side and East Side, Bell and
Pollack got into heated argument,
| Bell hit Pollack from behind, but,
| thanks to Schmidt and Jablowsky,
| Pollacks faithful friends, no further
harm was done. Pollack was willing
| to fight Bell, who, upon hearing a
rumor passed by Silverman that the
Happy Ramblers, Pollack's friends
| were outside, readily apologized 10
| Pollock Bell, who was the head of
clique which was harmful to the
school, was thus overthrow as a
clique leader.
Thanks to the Happy Ramblers.

Joe Kane comes to the rescue OF
Ray Wagner in the following COM
ruunication:
]. p. N:
| | always admire your way of think
| ing. but I think you went wrong
by terming Ray Wagner. of the Purt-
| tan \. c.. a poor sport. He may
have been wrong in the Burns Hen
messy bout, but he, like a good many
more, makes mistakes. A good many
present seemed to think another
round should have been fought, but
J the judges decided in favor of Hen
messy.
As you say. the Quigley-Touhy de-
cision was a little Oft when they gave
| the bout to Touhy; but there is that
| same saying that there is no man
living that cannot make a mistake.
! Graney was a poor sport, as far as
can see, and Mr.. Bertsch and sew
eral other officials think the same
way Graney. when beaten, protest
cd Martin. whom he said was a pro.
/ As long as l know Martin he has
never been in the ring.
| j. p. N, knowing Wagner as | do,
know he will come back. He is a
fighter from his toes to his head. He
| is a very good sport and takes 1t
much to heart when he is called a
poor sport. The members of his club
would do anything to please him, and
hope he comes to see you and then
you can judge for yourself. Good
| luck TO the Puritan A, c. and its
game secretary, who Is some sport.
Yours in sport, JOE KANE.
Wagner called GFaney poor sport.
