around here. A trip to New Orleans,
where the game is at its height,
would benefit him a good deal. Well
handled, he would make name for
himself.
O.
Maybe weinert viii fight Battling
Levinsky before he takes his talked
OF trip West. He has been offered
match with the Batter at the
Broadway Sporting Club for next
Tuesday night, but he refused to ac-
cept twenty per cent. for his share.
Weinert may also fight some good
man at Philadelphia His chest,
which was caved in--flrst by Jim
Coffey and later by Jack Dillon-is
mending nicely, Weinert says. But
the wisest saying he pulled yester-
day was that the public WAS sus-
plcious of Savage and himself, and
he guessed he wouldn't fight. He did
say, though, that he would meet
Savage If the bout was set for De-
cember s. Otherwise, he declared,
there would be nothing doing.
o.
And while on the subject OF a Saw
age weinert fight a fan from the
mountains writes as follows:
J. p. NJ:
] would like to offer a few words
in regard to the stories going around
in the Oranges about the proposed
Weinert-S Savage bout. After the
80 To- N.1E1 NIL NJ
think that the boys would fight on the
level, but according to the stories cir
culated In the Oranges the boys have
really rehearsed for their second
meeting. This is the way the story
goes:
They are to box ten rounds, and
each boxer will have q chance to
show his gamenesS, as there are to be
two knockdownS. one in the third and
one In the seventh Each Is supposed
to get up at the count of seven and
fight desperately for the rest of the
round. 1t is not known whether
Weinert or Savage will be the first to
dive. As Jim has SO much expert
ence he could easily accomplish the
task and get away with 1t. He isn't
at all bashful when he is in the
squared circle, no more than he is
down at the beach, where he Is noted
for his beautiful diving and art pos
ing Jim should forget about the
beautiful sea when he is in the ring.
Some say when it comes Weinert's
turn to flop he will also be able to
accomplish the task. 1t Is not really
known, but he may go through the
ropes just for the sake of variety

Twenty years as railroad man
has made Harry Snyder a good Judge
Of fights and fighters But It is
safe to venture that he would miss
his Job more than the fighting game
would miss him. How he ever horned
into boxing is a mystery. unless 1t
was because Matchmaker Wood was
looking for live one" and
stumbled over the ties. It Is all
very we'll to be in strong enough
to run a fight club in Irvington, but
It is not always well to go around
blowing about It. At that Snyder
and Wood are hanging on only by a
thread at Olympic Park. I know,
that a successor has been consid-
cred for some time.

One bike fan at least would like to
see a six-day bike race in Newark,
and writes the following letter:
J. P. N.
AS part of my daily work is read
Ing the Morning and Evening Stars, I
was particularly interested in Mr.,
MacFarland's suggestion as to a six
day race In Newark / think the fans
would support the race all right. They
surely support the sport well during
the summer. Personally, I think Mr..
mcfarland has quite responsible
ity this winter on account of the many
cyclists over here, and as those boys
need work, and cycling Is the means
of their livelihood, feel almost sure
Newark would respond generously.
The fans ought to show their gener-
osity, II only to help the boys, who
have no means OF q livelihood in their
own countries on account of the war.
Well, here is hoping Mr.. Mcfarland
win put on the race, and give q
chance to the good fans of Newark
to show and make good.
A FANNESS.
A six-day race may be held, but
those old promoters sometimes get
awfuily cold feet. Mcfarland is for
it, but he is only the boss, you know.

A young man, who has followed the
school football teams very closely this
season, sends IN his selections for an
"aIl-city'' eleven. His selection is
very good. However, there is only
one change suggested, and that is the
placing of Smethurst, of Barringer, at
centre. Smethurst's game against
| Schwartzkopf, of East Orange, was
! high class While Fava is a fine
| player, it is believed that Smethurst
| is entitled to place on your so-called
"all-city'' team. The selection is as
follows:
J. p. N:
! Having been a close follower OF the
scholastic football teams during the
past season, I hereby take the liberty
of picking an "all-city" eleven:
| Players. Position. School.
| Bioren ...,..........So South Side High
| Left halfback.
| Cairns ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS. .6arr1nger
