London, Jan. 81.
Hello Joe:
Meet "Goullie" on his arrival on the
Kaiserin Augusta Victoria, which
will arrive in the u. S. A. on Feb
ruary s, for he will have a very in
teresting story to tell you. 1 hope
to win the Berlin six-day race with
Root as my partner. We met Bailey
here and Bill is looking fine. He is
to turn pro, you know. You don't
know how much the boys enjoy the
Evening Star over here. It is just
like getting money from home. Au
revoir, JOE FOGLER,
Charley Korb. the jockey, is spend
ing few weeks in Monaco, and now
and then, and sometimes more fire.
uuently, taking a fiier at the games
at Monte Carlo. Although great
Jockey and rare Judge of pace and
distance on the racetrack, little Korb
really believes he can beat the cards
at Monte. Too bad, but such hobbies
are sometimes very expensive.

The Wisconsin boxing commission
ers have made considerable pugiltstic
| history during their short stay In
office. They have made two decisions
that are sure to be quoted whenever
| Joking is In order. One decision has
to do with Packey Mcfarland and the
other deals with AID Wolgast. After
a bout with Jack Britton In their fair
State recently the commissioners
suspended Mcfarland for not maxi
ing the contest lively enough. Packey
bested Britton, but that didn't make
any difference to the commissioners.
The decision made Mcfarland very
angry and he has threatened to sue
the commissioners for damaging his
character and thereby reducing his
value as a drawing card. Packey
tention, for at the present writing he
Is matched to fight Mike Gibbons and
his end will be $4,000 or thereabouts
In the case of Wolgast, the very same
commissioners have ruled that Ad
was entirely too rough In his bout
with Joe Rivers and Ad has been
warned that his ring tactics, If re-
peated, will get him into trouble. So
there you are. One fighter is pun
ished for not fighting enough and an
other fighter Is reprimanded for fight
ing too roughly.

A fight fan is aching to see weinert
and fellow named Schenk in battle.
Schenk was praised in a communica-
ton in the Evening Star Of yesterday.
He is presumed to be a wonder, but I
mustsconfess he is not on my visiting
list. If he is a real fellow and as good
a fighter as his friends say he is. I
would like to see him. Anyway, what
has been written about the man will
not do any harm. The following let
ter suggests a match with Charley
Weinert:
]. P. NJ:
have seen Weinert In action and
have seen Battling Schenk in action
and nearly all the good boys around
these parts in action. To my opinion
q match between Weinert and Schenk
would be a good one and one that |
am sure would please. 1t seems to |
me every time Schenk fights the pa
pers state that the winner will be
matched to meet Weinert. But some
how the never meet. What seems to be |
the trouble? Is it the weight question I
again? In my opinion, the fight ought |
to be a big drawing card, because |
they are two boys from out of town,
one from Irvington and the other
from West Orange, and both have !
plenty of admirers from Newark.
MR.. BARNEY knoll.
Weinert is becoming famous. 1t |
seems. Everybody is talking about
the clever boy from West Orange, and
the New York fight managers are
jealous because Percy Woodruff, a |
Jerseyman, has the most likely look
ing heavyweight prospect in sight |
Weinert's next fight will be in real
society. He Is to meet Tom Gibbons,
brother of Mike Gibbons, at Madison
Square Garden next Thursday night |
You have read about the making of
this match before In the Evening Star,
and if you want to see real clever
boy perform, go over and witness
Weinert's exhibition against Gibbons.

Jimmy McVeigh and Young Grad
well will have to meet again before
everybody will be satisfied. Their
last fight was such a good one and
was so close that some of Gradwell's
friends are shouting that their man
won. That isn't so. of course, but
Gradwell fought well enough to be
considered a worthy opponent in a
return engagement. A letter from a
McVeigh admirer, taking Gradwell
enthusiast to task, is given as fol-
lows:
]. P. NJ;
1 enjoyed one big laugh on picking
UP the Evening Star last night and
reading Brother Simmonss (of the
Rescue HomeD comment on the Grad
well-McVeigh fight, and you deserve
credit in the way you answered
Brother Simmons's letter. / also wish
to state had ringside seat at this
fight and saw all the infighting that
was being done, and without doubt
think McVeigh made Gradwell look
like a novice. Now, all Brother Sim
mons know about fighting Is seeing
two tramps fighting for a bed down
at his fathers camp (the RESCUE
Home). Why doesn't Gradwell take
his licking and be a sport and not go
around crying he won, as 80 per cent.
of the public knows McVeigh won?
With all credit due Gradwell, he
should doff his hat to McVeigh.
Yours in good sportsmanship,
