An apt illustration of the value of
the question and answer column of
the Evening Star was the recovery
of the gold medal which Miss Made
line Monaghan, of South Orange
avenue, lost early last week. The
medal had a considerable none
tary value and was highly priced
through its associations. Anthony
Trusella, of GAG North Fifth street, a
reader of Sport Topics, found the
trinket and sent it Immediately to this
Office. A notice regarding the finding
of the medal was printed in this col
umn on the same day, and two days
later Miss Monaghan was in possess
sion of her priced medal. AS a re-
ward for his honesty Trusella is now
richer by dollar. which the owner
of the medal offered as reward. So
as result of a daily perusal of the
Star Miss Monaghan has her lost
medal and Trusella has 81.

Speaking of medals, this seem to be
the open season for losing 'em. Here's
another one:
]. P. NJ:
VIII you please publish in the Sport
Topics columns of the Evening Star
the name, and If possible the address,
of the winner of the half-mile novice
race at the Velodrome on August 8,
1918? My reason for wishing to know
this is SO that / can return the medal
and other property of his, which my
nephew found on the street on New
Years Day w. RUOFF.
The half-mile novice race at the
Velodrome on August 8 last was won
by F. Thompson. Unfortunately, we
have not his address, but he will
probably see this and communicate
with you,
Mickey Perna the boxer, believes
he has been abused, and writes as
follows to register an objection
j. p. NJ:
After reading an account of my
fight with Babe Angert, | think that
a great injustice was done me when
you gave the fight to Angert. sin
cerely hope that Angert's manager
will try to arrange another fight be-
| tween us. I would surely settle all
question as to supremacy.
MICKEY PERNA,
110-pound Champion.
Another bout between the boys
would be interesting, but in the con-
test referred to Mickey was beaten,
just the same.

Now that the bike season i'll New
ark is temporarily on the wane we
have the rabid soccer fan with us.
Here is a letter from one who thinks
the West Hudson eleven is getting
the best of the decisions by the
referees:
j. p. N:
/ would like to know why Referee
Whyte stopped the game between the
West Hudson and Bethlehem soccer
elevens at Harrison on January 4. In
my opinion he should not have
stopped the game, According to the
rules of the A. F. A. when a cup tie
game is started it must be finished.
Mr.. Whyte took the law in his own
hands and stopped the game to save
1.-THE Hudsons from defeat. 1t looks as
though the West HudSons ruled the
A. +. A. There is entirely too much
favoritism shown the Hudsons by the
referees. If Messrs. Whyte, Mont
gomery and Nesbit would . kindly
learn the rules of the game it would
do them more good than harm. If
the Hudsons fail to lift the cup it will
not be for lack of assistance from
these gentlemen. / hope for the good
of the game that Mr. Whyte will
study the rules before taking the field
again. FAIR SPORT.
The rules set forth that the game
must be played ninety minutes unless
otherwise agreed upon. Perhaps Mr.
Whyte was within his rights in end
ing the game.
A reader of Sport Topics" has I'M
| dertaken to solve the old problem of
the egg and the chicken. Here is the
way he figures it out:
]. P. NJ:
In regard to the question, "Who
was created first, the egg or the
chicken" by Mortimer Jacobs, the
following explanation may enlighten
} him if you care to publish it. 1t can
, be clearly demonstrated that the bird
must precede the egg. AS it must be
admitted that neither the bird or the
: follows that one or the other was Gre
ated in the beginning. The egg and
bird are equally wonderful, and the
Creator could have produced either,
| according to His will If the egg was
, created first, we must conclude ac-
cording to natural laws, that there is
not evidence of perfection of knowl-
edge and Wisdom in its production,
} because the egg could not incubate a
bird of itself. The attention of a par
ent bird is necessary for incubation,
| duced young bird, the assistance of
a parent bird would be necessary to
feed and sustain its life, until 1t be-
came able to provide for itself
! Whereas the bird, which naturally
} produced the egg, and cared for 1t,
and reared its young, is in harmony
with natural laws and reason. so that
by all logical reasoning the chicken
/ was first. WILLIAM DREYER.

In a two-handed game of auction
pinochle the score is SO to SO in favor
of A. On the last deal B buys the
hand and melds IA and also gets the
tricks, which puts him out. A
claims that as he also had the neces-
sary points he is also out. B contra
a diets him and says the bidder always
: has the preference. Which in yotn
good Judgment is right? Wish you a
!, very happy and prosperous new year
