will tend to strengthen the club.

The fans will have an opportunity
to see the Newark team and the
Brooklyn team in action tomorrow
afternoon at Wiedenmeyer's Park.
Their game yesterday was full
of ginger, and there isn't any
love lost between the teams,
either, let me tell you. The
crowd tomorrow should be a big
one, for the fans WILL no doubt, enjoy
seeing some of the old Newark boys
who are now with Brooklyn in
action. Among these are Jack Dali
ton, Raleigh Aitchison and Lew Nc
Carly.

The decision in the Killifer contract
jumping case seems to be taken as
a victory for both Sides but the mag
mates are only kidding themselves.
The real victory is in favor OF the
player, who will be able to barter his
services to both sides as long as he
doesn't sign a contract with either.
! The decision means that next year
the Federal League will be allowed
to raid the other leagues and that the
other leagues win have string out

are not tied up for the year follow

the victory all they want to, but the
ball players will do all the real chuck

Is being taken in at the gate.

Tom Messenger is arranging a
strenuous campaign for Charley
Weinert, the heavyweight pros
pect. and Weinert is tickled with
delight over the fact that he has a
lot of ring work staring him in the
face. The young man is working out
at Gus Troxler's daily, and he is not
dition. Manager Messenger had a
long talk yesterday with Billy Gibson,
who is going to conduct the new
Stadium A. c., in St. Nicholass Rink
in New York, and as result Weinert
is to- box at his second show at the
Stadium club, which is set for April
! 80. His opponent is likely to be Tom
Gibbons, brother OF the famous Mike
Gibbons, for whom Manager Gibson
is looking for an opponent for that
evening. Gibson figures that a big
double bill with the Gibbons brothers
as features would pack the house. Sc
Just as soon az he decides on some
one to box Mike he viii sign Weinert
to fight Tom. The proposed Weinert.
Gibbons bout recalls the fact that
these Boys were matched to fight al
Madison Square Garden some time
