and we will cover all the money he
has. "Pru," control yourself. Don't
get hasty. You have a whole lot to
! learn. and if you read the j. P. n.
column it will do you good. Be a
sport, like the rest of us, and don't
knock 1 am, respectfully,
| JACK MURRAY,
! For Happy Ramblers' Club.
| C
| The following letter is clear and
to the point and should be observed
carefully by those who can never
see anything very good in anybody
| else:
j. p N:
| am a reader of your interesting
sport columns and find that some of
| your readers are plain soreheads and
/ knockers. Among these is one who
| signs himself Prudential" and who
| thinks that just because he himself
| IS good letter writer everyone
| must know 1t. He therefore imme-
| diately begins to knock others, and
| even goes so far as to use personal
remarks.
| ! admit all the letters published in
| your column do not interest me- but
| that is no reason why | should Jump
| up and tell them to beat it AS
| you say, j. p. N, let everyone state
! his views and let our wise friends
read what pleases their fancy and
! allow others to exist n their own
! sweet way"
Prudential claims that "Sportius'
knows no more about fighting than 4
/ two-months'- child knows abo 1t
playing the piano. Is this supposed
/ to be joke, and if SO, when arc
! we supposed to laugh? As far as
/ have read, l did not notice that
/ "Sportius" claimed to be a sporting
authority, but was merely stating his
views. which. l think, he has a per
! feet right to do. Furthermore, ''Pru-
| dential,' I do not think his letters
! foolish because he is an admirer OF
Donley and Patsy Kline. While you,
no doubt, favor other fighters.
/ will not go further with "Pru-
dential's'' brilliant letter, but will ex-
/ press my own views regarding the
I smaller fighters here in our own
I vicinity. In my opinion, Patsy Kline
/ is the best and Irish Mahon next.
! Banty Lewis is a great little tighter.
! but he does not compare with Kline
| He does stand a chance with Irish
Mahon, but l doubt very much II
! the fight fans will ever get another
chance to see these two clever fight
erS mix it, for, as | understand il,
| thew are good friends and ii would
| be a shame to force them into a
scrap.
I hope, J. p. N, that you will keep
| such soreheads as Prudential out OF
your column, as they only tend to
! spoil much good information from
/ your readers. GIBRALTAR.
! Comment is hardly necessary on
the above letter But I would not be
| surprised to see Lewis and Mahon
! in battle before very long. There
was much talk. l understand, at
Troxler's last night in regard to such
fight, but nothing definite, | am
! told, was done.
A correspondent to this column has
become so popular that his address Is
in demand The request:
j. p. N:
| Will "Sportius" please oblige a
reader of the Evening Star with the
complete record of Mickey Donley
| BY the way. ]. P. N, who is this
"Sportius" who has stirred up the
Lewis Donley controversy?
A. B. c.
Perhaps "Sportius" will give us
permission to publish his address.

Belmont Avenue School has a good
reason to blow its bugle when it can
claim the following players as mem
bers of it's basketball team:
j. p. NJ:
Reading about the discussion OF
which grammar school produced the
best basketball material. [ wish to
state that the premier school has beer
overlooked. This school is Belmont
Avenue The list of a few of the
graduates who are now performing
for local high schools follows:
First we have Sammy Lehrhoff. the
best guard in local high schools; Will
lie Abrahamson, whose sensational
work in the Central-St. Benedict
game is yet remembered; Wischners-
XIV. of East Side; Louis Slott, for
merly of East Side; Ricl<les, the besf
player on Centrals second team; Hor-
WITT, Grosshart, Block and numerous
others, who formerly attended higi
school.
1t is also to be remembered thai
, Belmont won the city championship
of both senior and junior organiza
tions the first three years 1T was rep
resented. 1t also beat Industrial fol
. the championship two years ago
/, and it is represented by smaller boys
who have no chance against the bis
, fellows of Industrial.
