not gong 10 help Nelnert OUT as ne
did when the Butcher Boy was be-
ing beaten by Battling Levinsky
Woodruff won the fight for Weinert
that night, but Percy says never
again."
If Weinert wins tonight he will keep
right on avoiding Jim Savage as
usual If he loses, though, he will
likely be anxious to make the match
with Savage. jim and Weinert would
draw big house and if Weinert
thinks that Savage is so soft Wood
ruff says he can have the fight on
a winner take-all basis.

Some of the Newark bike fans de-
sire a six-day race this winter. A
suggestion follows:
| J. Z. N:
| Just a few words in regard to the
proposed six day local bicycle race, a
note on which appeared In Fridays
! Evening Star. IL you will remember
! Mr.. J. p. N, I suggested the thing
about year ago, and you comment
| ed on it in your sport Topics" COL
umn. ] will quote part of your an
| swer to the suggestion:
Il put it up to Mr.. Million, and he
in turn put it up to Mr.. MacFarland
and they decided that it would re-
quire too much effort for too small
reward to hold siX-day race in New
ark this year. Next year, though,
things may be different. for it is
among the most likely happenings
imaginable that Million and Uppercu,
the gamest sports in the world will
erect a building for cycling purposes
before the winter again rolls around"
Now, that Mr. MacFarland is con-
sidering a six day race, let him make
1t settled thing right now. l am
sure the loyal fans of the sport will
come out strong and support his ac-
ton. / don't see how ii could posi-
BILE be failure under the MacFar-
land regime. That failure a few
years ago by Chapman and Moran Is
another matter altogether. A six-day
race would keep up local interest dur
ing the indoor season and fans and
promoters alike would benefit by IL.
II behooves local fans TO get busy
and voice their sentiments in this re-
eyaY -1 will frx 70
boom the thing along. While the fans
will expect a few good men to enter
the affair il would not be necessary
to put on q galaxy of stars to match
the Madison Square contingent. A
f1fty-cent admission fee would be
proper if a siX-day race We're run off
in New York, and ] am of the opin-
ion that the Newark fans would not
object to a like price for a race in
their own city. A trip 20 New York
means carfare and other expenses, so
a reasonable man would clearly see
the advantage of staying right in his
city and seeing a race.
Now. as to the scene of the race.
The First regiment armory would be
ideal if the seating ARRANGEMENTS
were changed around a bit. Reserved
sections could be set off, and the meet
would thus vie favorably with the |
big SNOW event.
Let us hear more about the local |
six-day race. Mr.. !. p. N. We fans |
want it and Mr.. mcfarland ought to |
consider our interests. 1t would sure
1y be a success and would bring New
ark much favorable notice. I am, |
yours respectfully.
S. MAX ROsEN.

It would be all right to run a six |
day race here and Mr.. Million says
he would be satisfied to come out
whole on the proposition. Manager
mcfarland is strong for the race
and it is really up to securing the !
armory, which is another thing.

Furnishing an alibi for Moretti the
switcher:
j. P. N:
After the ninth heat was over Sun
day. and in which were Goullet.
Moretti and Spears, we believe that
Moretti was unjustly "penalized" for
switching. 1t was not an Intentional
switch, as Goullet just kissed
Moretti's rear wheel with his front
wheel; but probably Goullet did not
know he kissed" and Moretti did
not know how he should figure his
switching to happen, and maybe the
thought he was losing his balance
from the effort to beat our former
favorite, "Goullie."
Moretti was just a full length ahead
in the homestretch, and would not be
so much afraid of "Goullie.' We are
not putting the blame on good old
Ross, as the slight happening could
- ~
ii will be, So long Goullet, but cheers
for Moretti. We were crazy over
Goullet, but now give him the Xxi
bosh'
E. c., ]. c.. ]. s., S. D. P.
You Italian boys are all wrong.
Moretti not only deliberately switched
Goullet, but he admitted it. He says
he thought it was Spears coming, and
he couldn't see him winning after
battling off Goullet. About one more
of those Moretti outbreaks and it will
be back to Italy for the favorite son.

Smoke Miller is back with another
hard luck tale. He almost got job
with the Athletics and he was just
about matched with Jack Johnson
when the war broke out. Listen to
the irrepressible Smoke:
j. p. N:
| Hello, Joe, i just thought I'd write
and let you know what l am doing
as | know all me friends will be
anxious to know. Did you ever see
such hard luck, Joe, as l got? Just
when / made up me mind to go with
the Athletics their batters bumped
them so far out in front that it don't
make no difference If they
