Newark evening star and Newark advertiser. [volume] (Newark, N.J.) 1909-1916, 1914-02-21

| Despite the cold and snow baseball
is here. We start in today talking
about our team for the coming season,
for our team leaves this afternoon for
the southern training camp, where
Harry Smith and ali the other Tigers
will get into shape for the six hard
months before them. The outlook for
the Newark team is much better now
Newark, as we all know, won the
pennant last season AS an encour-
agement, let us hope we win the PEN
nant again this year,

The feeling that has been stirred
up among the fans over the pro-
posed transfer of the Newark team
to Brooklyn should subside. now that
the whole affair has officially been
declared off. 1t was bad business, to
be sure, but we all make mistakes
! sometimes. Charley Ebbets, sr.,
thought he saw bright move, and
so the proposition was given life.
President Barrow, Of the Interna-
tional League, seemed to think 1t
would strengthen his organization,
and he was not averse to giving 1t
trial. The National Commission, it
is said, was also considering the mat
/ ter, and it is said the commission
could have ordered the transfer and
the order would have been obeyed.
| Well. the commission didn't order the
transfer, and it is lucky for all con-
cerned that things turned out as
they have.
G
AS matters stand. the international
League has been made a laughing
stock, and I don't know what the
people along the circuit will think OF
Newark. 1t wasn't our fault and we
are not going to take any of the
blame We have a championship
torily last season, according to the
owners and the president of the
league. That plan should De con-
sidered to transfer our champions to
a tailend city was an insult to our
people. II anything should come OF
1t, let there be no baby cry from
those most vitality interested. The
blame and the whole blame is up to
the senior Ebbets and to President
Barrow.
o
While on the subject Of the transfer
of the Newark team. let us say few
kind words in passing about Thomas
Fogarty, of the Jersey City team. He
proved himself gamester, through
and through. He fought the PROPOSE
ton and he kept his skirts c.ean and
he told some of those who favored
the plan just where they got off. We
do not want the Jersey City ball
team over here, but we would not OBJ
ject to Tom Fogarty in the least.

Here's a baseball fan who wants
what he wants and will take no other:
J. P. NJ:
First of all, we are glad to hear
that you are well again. We did not
see any comment in regards to Bar
row. Ebbets & Co. or what they In /,
tend to do without pennant-winning |
baseball team. guess our interest |
in this matter will not be neglected. |
for We can depend upon You to let
them know in no uncertain language |
just where they stand. We want no |
team in this city but our own Tigers-
not combination of misfit taller ders. /
If we don't get what we wa the i
bicycle races will draw a great num-
Der of baseball fans.
RICHARD WARNER.
Don't worry, Dick, the Tigers will
be with us as usual, Messrs. Barrow |
and Ebbets notwithstanding The fans |
are justly indignant, but now that
everything is lovey-dovey again, let |
US get down to business and walt for
the team to repeat and once more win |
the championship. Just for fun, 1t |
would serve the "boneheads" right II
the Feds were to come In here and
give them battle. II looked as II such |
a thing might be, but the plan seems
to have been dropped.

Jim Savage, we have it, is going TO
Europe to fight. but previous to his
departure he is going to hold a big
athletic entertainment, in order to
pick up little pin money with which
to tip the walters on the ocean liner,
Just when Savage will depart for
foreign shores is not definitely known,
but his farewell exhibition will be
held Monday night in New Essex
abroad, it is said that ne has won an
"angel," who is going to take him to
Europe and back him against the best
men over there. II Is a long story,
and when Savage is MAXI g good
abroad it will be time to tel It,
Meanwhile, Jim is going to box Mon
day night, and he is going to Europe
later on, 1t is said. Bon voyage Jim,
also good luck in your battles abroad.
G
In dead earnest, Savage, if he goes
to Europe with his new manager
ought to make good over there. He Is
a grand boxer and the English are
sure to like him In his training stunts.
In the ring, Jim doesn't show so WELL
but he is plenty good enough to beat
most anything they have over there
with the possible exception Of Georges
Carpenter, and he may be able to
beat this popular Frenchman. Bonn
