J. p. NJ:
! am constant reader and admirer
of Sport Topics and would like to
know why Walter Rutt did not re-
ceive more votes than he did in the
Stars Popularity Contest he being
the worlds champion.
| too, agree with Champion Kra-
mer in saying that the American
championship is too strenuous and
that foreign riders should not be al
lowed to compete in it. Why not call
it the worlds championship and let
our famous American Champion <ra-
mer show the worlds champion the
homeward road. Hurrah for Kra-
mer, the king of the wheel May he
continue to be our king for many
years to come. as all can look back in
the past thirteen years and in the
years to come upon our noted Kra-
mer as one who has and always will
continue to win his title through
clean riding. Honor to whom
as the Romans do" When in Amer
lea do as the Americans do. and when
in bicycle races be there with the
speed and brains combined, like our
American champion. Frank l.. Kra-
mer. MARJORY.

A baseball fan goes into Mysteries
over the way Charles H. Ebbets, sr.,
is treating the Newark fans His let
ter:
J. p. NJ:
According to the papers, Charles
Ebbets is complaining about poor at
tendance at the local park. but I
guess Mr.. Ebbets will soon find out
that the Newark fans are not bunch
of dubs, and that the fans are tired
of him and his tactics. Newark is
the only team in the league that
hasn't first baseman. Now, If seven
teams can get first basemen the
eighth team can also. but Mr.. Ebbets
thinks that he can get away with it
by having a pitcher or shortstop cover
first base Think of Glass AA team
playing ball without first baseman
and with only one catcher! How
many games did Newark lose during
the time Heckinger was laid up on
account of having a third-rate bush
Los hn1 ind he hot
when Newark lost its heaviest hitters
in Swacina and Dalton and did not
have a heavy hitter left on the team
Ebbets did not send men like Meyers
or Fischer, good hitters, to Newark,
but sent them to Toronto, which paid
Ebbets $1,000 for the men. Mr.. Ebbets
took Dalton, the backbone of the hit
ting, because Brooklyn wanted him,
and now he takes Johnny EnZmann
for the same reason, anc has not sent
anyone in return. So il Mr.. Ebbets
thinks he has the Newark ball club
| Just to help Brooklyn, and does not
give a rap whether or not Newark
has a first-class team, and yet ex-
poets patronage, he is greatly mis-
taken. If Mr.. Ebbets wants patron
! age let him give us good baseball, but
Newark fans are not going to stand
| for Jersey City baseball. and / guess
| Mr.. Ebbets can see it for himself by
| this time. A good thing for baseball
in this city is to have Ebbets gel
| out. REGULAR.
Mr.. Ebbets, would say, is con-
Quoting his business just like any
other business man would. He knows
what he is doing, and he is not likely
to complain about the consequences
The Newark fans haven't supported
/ the team this year, and they haven't
much of a kick coming. Your sug-
gestion that Ebbets "get out" may be
all right, but who is there to assume
the responsibility If another out
slider comes in he will eventually bt
! treated to the same kind of abuse
now being handed out to Mr.. Ebbets
If local men should buy the club whai
guarantee would they have of loya
support? Business is business, base
ball and all, and every man know.
