Newark evening star and Newark advertiser. [volume] (Newark, N.J.) 1909-1916, 1914-05-06

meet Newark fans. In Baltimore the
Feds put it all over Jack Dunn and
his Orioles, and they tell me that
Brooklyn is going mad over the in
vaders in that city. Buffalo is not
looked upon as very promising. 1t is
a minor league city, and when the
showdown comes-when the Interna-
tional League is shot to pieces
through the efforts of the Feds in
Newark and Baltimore, Buffalo will
probably join the New York State
League A wise old fellow who is
always in the know told me the other
day that the Feds would be stronger
than ever next year, and they may
be in organized baseball. He said
that Baltimore would remain in the
Federal possessions and that Newark
would stand show. The other cities
he selected as favorable for the out
laws" were Chicago, Cincinnati, De-
troit and Pittsburgh in the West, and
New York. Brooklyn, Baltimore and
Newark in the East. AS far as New
ark goes, big league team would be
the great sporting asset. The city
would be advertised the country over,
and it would be classed among the
biggest cities in the United States.

While the Brooklyn fans promise
to support the Brooklyn club, the
other club owners in the league are
very much peeved at the Ward
brothers, who own the Tip Tops, as
the Brooklyns are called. and who
emphatically refese to allow their pets
to play baseball on Sunday. OF course
the team couldn't play on its home
grounds over in Brooklyn, but that
would not prevent the Tip Tops from
reaping q harvest in other towns,
where the rank and file who work six
long and dreary days are allowed to
breathe Gods free air on the seventh
day, as POSTMASTER Bill McManus
would say. No, Brooklyn won't play
Sunday ball, and that fact knocks
the other clubs out of so much money
on those especially lucrative days. BE
that as it may, the Federal League
men are going to find some way out
of the dilemma, and when the Fed
eral League becomes as big as tho
Brooklyn club perhaps the Wards will
be forced in line

The gentleman who suggested the
scoreboard at the Velodrome now
comes out with a suggestion in re-
gard to teaming The scoreboard
pleases the fans, and the letter, which
follows, makes good reading:
J. P. N:
Heard favorable comment around
me on Sunday regarding the score
board Am naturally pleased 1t went
through, and thank you and the
power of the press" for its accom-
'plishment. l guess the fans Will
thank you many a time this season
for calling the attention Of the pow
ers- that-be' to the matter. -....s.
The weather was great, the racing,
everything combined to make it most
ENJOYABLE. The little Switch was
seen plainly by us as Kramer turned
into the stretch, but it was only for
a fraction of a second, and plainly
unintentional. 1t looked as If kra-
mer momentarily swerved a shade
by losing control as he made the turn,
and don't think Rutt should have
paid any attention to it publicly. If
he knew anything at all he knew his
master was in front of him.
The "battler," Joe Fogler, is dead
has it on them all on
brains, and another thing he has on
Rutt, besides more brains and more
speed, is poise The German, though,
is a good rider, but lacks the poise
to beat a man of Kramer's calibre
Personally, l think Clark can beat
him, and I'm pretty sure 'Goullie"
can beat him when he is himself,
which he isn't now,
Kindly tell us Walter Rutt's age,
and table, like you printed about
Ellegaard, parallel with a Kramer
column, would be appreciated by sew
eral of us.
Have you heard any expressions of
opinion on the teaming matter?
L are Nultl INV III tiiot SoPNSet
but the first thing you know there
will be another teaming fracas, and
the same old howl all along the line.
They had better remove the liability
clause; they can't stop teaming. My
racing partner-which is my frau
put it rather APPLY, ] think, when she
said: ITS like leaving the side doors
of the saloons open Sundays-they
wink at you when they feel like it
and they jump on you when they
feel like it, but they don't stop it"
DOUBLE p.
You are a very wise fan, Double
P,'' and I would not care to dispute
you. Rutt is thirty-tnree years OF
age, one year younger than Kramer.
