The seven best men riding at the
Nelodrome at the present time, and
Judging by their form this season. 1

Goullet Cavanagh, Grenda and Law
son. The ten best perhaps, are
Kramer, Rutt, Houlier, Clark, Goullet,
Moretti, Bailey Cavanagh, Grenda
and Lawson.

A baseball fan and a rooter takes
a knocker to task in about as artistic
a style as one would care to observe.
The words of the booster follow:
J. P. N:
| noticed the letters in your column
roasting the Newark International
Ball Club. One letter, signed "Sliv-
ers," states that the team is COM
posed of babies. If the writer of this
letter ever had the fortune to meet
any of the members of the nine he
would change his opinion quickly.
Probably "Slivers" came in on a pass,
and that is why he kicks. The sooner
such knockers stop their work the
better off We'll all be. He doesn't stop
to think how the Newark ball players
advertised the city to the whole world
last year He doesn't know that six
of the players are crippled and that
the team is still fighting hard for vic
tory in every game. He doesn't know
that everything has broken against
the team this year; that the last six
teen games were lost by the margin
of one run. He doesn't know that
Newark is going to be a big league
town before long. But fans such as
"Slivers" will do all in their power
to keep Newark away from the lime
light. A man like "Slivers' should
say nothing, but should saw wood,
instead. Yours truly,
A BOOSTER FOR NEWARK AND
THE NEWARK BALL CLUB.

A manager of a Newark semi-pro
team registers a kick in the following
communication of the treatment he
received at Crawford:
J. p N:
I wish to call your attention to an
act of injustice, Last Sunday the
Clinton A. c., of Newark went to
Crawford to play the nine of that
place. The game was marred by the
wretched decisions of the Crawford
umpires. The first mistake made was
this: There was a runner on second
base, and a batter was at the plate.
The batter made three strikes, but the
catcher dropped the ball. The umpire
then called him out Rule 81, section
g. does not give this. Another time a
Clinton man got four balls and the
umpire called the runner out for leav-
ing the plate to go to first base Rule
SO, section ?, is against this. The UNI
pire called a Clinton player out on the
hidden ball trick, which is against
rule 81, section > Do you call this
fair play? Very truly yours,
FRED FELIX,
Manager Clinton A. c.
