It is all off with the "Maske
Marvel" Manager mcfarland trie
, to keep the matter a secret but Pok
Freeman, the press agent, got wise T.
} it and Mac" has practically aban
doned the idea.
A Railway fan deals out littl
inside information" regarding tn
controversy relative to the Rahwa,
and Rutherford High School teams
claiming the State high school foot
ball championship. He says:
J. P. N:
After reading your article il
last Fridays Star about the gal
lantry of Rutherford in wanting t
play Railway in order to settle thu
high school championship of thu
State, would state that / am SURF
you are not fully acquainted will
the facts. Last season Railway haC
a game scheduled with Rutherford
and the day of the game Rutherford
called up and said they would be un-
able to play as they only had 81 ir
the treasury, so Railway offered tt
come to Rutherford and pay full eX-
penses, but Rutherford refused tc
play. In making UP this years seized
ule Railway offered Rutherford foul
different dates, corresponding oVeI
period of three months, but
Rutherford stated they would be I'M
able to play Railway. q might state
they also refused to play either
baseball or basketbalD. So after
Rutherford refused to play, Railway
played out her regular schedule and
after last Thursdays game broke VI
training.
After reading various articles about
playing in Saturdays and Sunday S
papers, Railway yesterday morning
telegraphed to Rutherford offering to
play them Saturday next in New
ark. either to split the receipts OF
winner take all, but in the evening
Rutherford telephoned that they
would be unable to play as they had
broke up training Railway also had
broken up training, but was willing
! to go in training again. Do you
really think this was gallantry on
the part of Rutherford?
! Now. J. P. N, l know it is hard
! for you sporting writer's to hand the
| championship to this so-called small
burg, but don't you think in looking
! over the calibre of teams played by
| Railway, taken as a whole, greatly
outclass those played by Rutherford
! Please give this matter your fair
consideration and let us know il you
don't think Railway is justly en-
titled to the championship and also
if you don't think she has done her
part toward procuring a game with
Rutherford. Yours truly.
A. H. SCHAEFER.
As was stated previously in these
columns, Railway is entitled to the
honors on her seasons work. 1t is
too bad, however, that the Railway
and Rutherford teams did not come
together There is not much gained
by winning the state high school
championship" save, perhaps, the
honor and public sentiment that
go with it. All of which only
brings to mind a New York car
toonist's idea of Now that you've got
it, what are you going to do with
it?r II Railway doesn't want to be
proclaimed the champion, all well
and good but don't become Jealous
of the nice things that are said
about others
Wants to bet on Donley:
j. P. N:
| wish to state that if any of
Banty Lewis's followers wish to
stake any money on next Friday
nights fight with Mickey Donley
they will find plenty of it by calling
at Mickey Donley's Association, at
205 Bruce street.
I, personally, have 500 to wager,
which | won when Mickey beat him
the last fight. and wanted to give a
return bet to the same fellow, but he
said never again to bet so here is
"a chance for some of those happy
sports
Thanking you for your valuable
space that I have used, I remain

To decide a friendly bet please tel
me how many times James McVeigl
and Banty Lewis have fought. How
is it, Mr.. j. P. N, that nobody eve
selects any player from East Sid
\ High School for an All-Scholasti
eleven? There is Bien, as tackle, VIII
everybody considers should be one o
the best If not the best, in the higl
; schools of the State, Yours for fai
play, JOSEPH POLICASTRO.
Lewis and McVeigh have met fou
times. East Side High School is rep
resented by small eleven. Record
, will show that East Side, which has
small enrolment, has been unable t
master the big high and prep schoo
elevens, although it can be said tina
: the team has done well in the game
it had participated in. Bien is
good tackle, but perhaps you haven
seen some of the tackles on the hig
school teams of this city and vi
entity play
