have no fighting spirit. They are not
regular baseball players, Tor. if they
were. they would have little grit.
I have noticed in game after game
that when the opposing team takes
the lead, our team Just crumhles Up
and falls down. Error after error is
made. and the whole team looks as
if it was composed of babies instead
of ball players. They all get dis
couraged and cannot play at all.
Newark is a leading city, and wants
a team that knows how as Newark
Knows How" Shouldn't they brace
up, and keep on fighting in the face
of defeat? / hope some of the New
ark players will read this, for 1t is
written for their own good. Yours
truly. SLIVERS.
In other words We have a good
ball team, when it wins and a poor
ball team when it loses. However,
the opinion seems to prevail that the
Tigers are all right, but up against
considerable baseball luck. Time will
tell. The breaks cannot always go
against them. In the end, we all get
an even break in luck.

Praises for Kid Boonton are con-
tanned in the following:
J. p. N:
[ wish to review in a few words
the career of Paul Freda. better
known as Kid Boonton. Although in
the game only one year. he has met
and defeated Banty Lewis, Willie
Chandler, Young Vanguard, Jimmie
McVeigh, Harlem Tommy Hopkins
and Young Gardner. lie beat Gard
ner at the Stadium a. c., and let me
tell you Gardner is no ham. Gardner
has fought Johnny Dundee, Joe Man
dot, Knockout Brown and Willie
Beecher. Just keep your eye on lid
Boonton. AS far as money is con-
cerned, We'll back him to the limit
especially if he is matched with Jack
Coyne, of Orange. Billy Gibson
matchmaker OF the Stadium a. c., is
trying to get Boonton for star bout
We think the Kid is slated for the
lightweight championship of the
world. Respectfully yours.
A FIGHT FAN.

How to settle a controversy by a
third party is contained in the fol-
lowing communication:
j. p. N:
The "Sportius"-" Betty Vail con-
troversy is very interesting, and may
Miss Vail pardon me if I state thai
she is entirely wrong, for | was one
of those who shouted to the police
man in the arena to remove the tins
from the track. / would advise them
to settle their dispute in private. Hop
ing by these few words the matter
will close.

A few words about local fighters
are contained in the following letter
J. p. N:
Order is strictly observed at Gu:
TroXler's, but Monday night, after
the fight fans witnessed Jackie DObb;
administer a sound beating to Bat
Ting Jimmy, the crowd gave vent t.
its feelings, and cheer after cheel
was given to Jackie. Dobbs put up
a wonderful fight, and must bt
classed as one of orr leading light
weights. He shows improvement
with every fight. 1t was the desire
of those present to see him matched
with the winner of the Boonton
Lewis fight.
Mickey Donley has resumed his ac
Invites in the ring, and he will b'
a busy boy, as he has many bout!
booked. He is to fight Harry Brady
Thursday night at Allentown, Pa
Donley is not a stranger in Allen
town, and the fight fans have a higl
regard for the kids flstic knowledge.
Louis Rose, an amateur who ha'
made his mark in amateur boxing
circles, has his eye on a position OF
the Olympic team representing Unci'
Sam at the next meet at Berlin, Ger

tournaments possible to show his su
periority over the other boys, anC
thus earn a berth on the team. HI

ment given by the New Polo CluI

Willie Perna, a member of the Ok
Guard, a veteran of many battles
He was a good boy in his prime, anC
since this is come back season h
is contemplating re-entering tn
ring. Sincerely, SPORTIUS.

What is the origin Of the saw?
VELOX.
The earliest tool that has beer
traced in Egyptian history is the saw
1t was found first in the form of {
notched bronze knife in the THIRD
dynasty, or about 5000 years before
the Christian era, and was followed II
the fourth and fifth dynasties by
larger toothed saws, which were uset
by carpenters, but there are no dateC
specimens until the seventh century
before the Christian era, when the AS
syrians used iron saws. The frs
knives on record were made out o.
flint land We're, in fact, saws will
minute teeth. They probably were
used in cutting up animals, as thu
teeth would break away even on sof
wood. Rasps, which are but form
of a saw, were first made of sheet:
of bronze punched and coiled round
but the Assyrians in the seventh cen
tury used the straight rasp made o.
iron similar to the modern type
