everything pertaining to cycling sport.
l feel that in saying that Jackie
Clark, by his unsportsman-like atti-
tude in refusing to ride Kramer We'd
nesday night, has not only brought
| himself in disfaYor with the thou
| sands of bike fans who were formerly
| his admirers, but has also convinced
those formerly in doubt that his vic
| tory was only a chance which he
| feels he can never repeat. Clark should
| have been forced to ride Kramer on
| Wednesday night, as scheduled, or
| should have been served with the pen
atty of a good stiff fine. 1t seems to
| be a very easy matter for Clark to
| contract tonsillitis, when his real
| trouble is a bad case of cold feet.
[ do not believe that there is a bike
| fan who can come out and uphold the
action of Clark. Yours for clean sport
| RAILWAY BIKE FAN.
g
Wave had some gem letters on
cycling, especially the ones from
Katz Yama, the Japanese bike fan,
but the following missive on baseball
will hold its own in any kind of
company, I would imagine:
Chatham, May %, 1914.
j. P. N:
Hello Joe:-Tm just writing this to
let you and the bunch know that |
am up here pitching great ball. L
know my friends in Newark will be
glad to hear it, for they know me
and what ] did around your town.
Even last year Swanica, before he
| jumped to the Feds, said to me:
"Why don't you come with the
| Newarks?"
! But 1 didn't give him no encourage
ment and if Harry Smith didn't have
! time to look me over, why-but any
how, I'm up here now making good,
| so it's his own fault. But I'll tell you
something on the quiet: l was told
tby good ball player that Smith was
| soar and didn't intend to be with the
/ Newarks this year, so L guess that
why. But you know me, j. P. N,
and if 1 was on the Newarks there
wouldn't be any batting averages no
bigger. I pitched against the good
ones and they all look alike to me.
| Some of the gang might kid about me
| giving seven bases on balls in one
inning, but that isn't hitting me, is
it? I've been up here six weeks now
and last Saturday l pitched some
game 1 wasn't in good shape for
some of the others, and didn't have
good support, either, but my fast ball
1
point of a pin. Six hits, that's what
they got. The scorer says ten, but it
was on his teams grounds, so you
know what that means. l don't want
you to publish just where [ am play
ing, because in writing you l might
make some cracks about this guy
that's running the team who thinks
he's a big lege manager. Well, /
wisht 1 knew all he don't know. If
he gets fresh with me they'll be look
ing for a new picher, that's all. You
know me, Joe. Understand, 1 amt
soar because the NewarkS diden'
look me over because L hear there
will be lots of chance in the Feds
next year and the o. BIS is always
looking for new material and
wouldent stay with the Newarks
long, anyhow, before Detroit or some
of them would grab me like Kava-
nagh. 1 amt much for boosting me-
self-that's the trouble-but l seen
Caldwell and Johnson pich and hon
est, Joe, their fast balls amt got
in to let the gang know l am up here
and doing good and this little up. S.
that I am gone to put at the bottom
is for yourself, not to be put in the
paper. Yours truly,
SMOKE MILLER.
This is the P. ST. am up here in
Chatham on the Vallenteers Firemans
team, so if Smith or any of them
might ask you where I am you can
paper. Then the manager woulden't
know nothing, see? So long, Joe.
SMOKE.
Smoke you're safe where you
are, but where did you get the sta
tionery?

to rival the high cost of living.
