vast fortune. and he died rich
which Is not very unusual thing
with gamblers. He was an art critic
too. and spent large sums of money
in this line. His death came about
through a fall down a subway stair

aid. but later it was discovered that
he had a fracture of the skull.
G
s'Fairest OF All Sports, Who Knows
It ALL" has stirred UP hornets nest
among the schoolboys. Manager Ed
ward Bedford, of the South Side High
School football team, takes him to
task In the following letter:
J. P. n:
Through your valuable column l
would like 10 answer this "Fafrest OF
All SPORTS. Who Knows 1t ALL" |
don't know whether "fairest" refers
to beauty or reason. but ii must belt
beauty, for his reasoning is of very
low order As a South Side student,
/ would think it poor policy to go
around and knock" Coach Cavalla-
in-the-wool Barringerlte does 1t
against Chief Broadhead. Probably
he is on chiefs blacklist, or he would
never talk against him in that man
ner. The fault of the team was not,
TO my estimation, Coach Broadhead's
lack of coaching ability, for he is right
there.
Now. Know-It-All, if you were a
manager of q team that had a previ-
GUS record far from good (you are
aware, no doubt, that South Side were
the victims in nine out of ten games
last YEAR,, you would use your
"bean.' If you have one, and steer
clear Of teams superior toSyour own.
Our schedule was completed June 10,
and at that time we knew nothing of
the playing ability or glorious pros
poets of our 1914 grldiron warriors.
But, even at that. what was wrong
with the schedule? l think we had
some good strong opposition this sea-
son. Is Newton's squad a "cinch?'
Are st. Benedict's, Central or East
Side babies" or is Battin 'punk?"
You know the scores-RahWay is,
Barringer 6; Railway 20, Battin Il;
South Side Ii, Battin 0. Just give
them the famous "once over" II
seems to me that Barringer lacks the
nerve to stack up against st. Bene-
diets. Don't be one bit surprised if
in a few seasons the Barringer- East
Orange game will rank second to the
South Side-St. Benedict's contest.
Our game with Perth Amboy was
practice game. and the only one we
could get after communicating with
twelve other schools for that day.
Rutgers Prep, Carlton and

twelve, by the way.
Another little tip, Know-It-AT. /
think it would be a good policy if
some Barringer representative would
drop in at "a Johnson avenue and see
our boy who was laid out
by them in our contest. He is in
bad condition, and if someone from
Ridge street would drop in and talk
things over, I imagine it would make
him feel good.
Now, bury the hammer, and hand
over a pinch of credit where it is due,
for you may be with us next year, If
you can be made to understand the
which prevailed this
year Hoping that Chief Broadhead
will alter his coaching system to
please you, ] remain,

It was with pleasure that I read in
the Evening Star that Mr.. MacFar-
land had signed Alfred Goullet to
