East Orange High won from Bar
ringer High at football yesterday
and won on its merits. although vic
tory came by way OF a field goal
executed by Maurice Lequin, who
had made five previous attempts.
without success. It was a great
game and was attended by all the
features that mark this annual
struggle between East Orange and
Barringer. Before the game East Or
ange was the popular choice and
she lived up to expectations. Bar
ringer did we'll and she may have
thought 1t was ill-fortune to lose
out in the last four minutes of play,
but that is the way of the world. A
tie game would have pleased Bar
ringer. As 1t was, she was not dis
graeed, but rather is entitled to high
praise for her great efforts. She
might have scored a touchdown IN
the first few minutes of play, but
East Orange held her ground beauti-
fully under pressure,

1t might be noted in passing that
Coach Grosenbaugh, of East Orange,
generally springs a star in the final
game of the season. Last year he
brought out Leonard Bloss, and it
was his work that told in the victory
This year 1T was Lequin who stood
out as the hero. As a coach Grosen-
baugh is considered the best among
the high schools in the State. He has
had glorious success at East Orange.

South Side High School has a dandy
little football team. She beat East
Side High yesterday. and she claims
she has a better team than either
East Orange High or BarTinger High.
There is considerable merit in her
claim. Barringer was the only team
that scored on South Side this sea-
son, and that game was a tie to Z
South Side has a peppery little bunch
and the boys are fighters all the way.

Railway High is standing pat on
her record and leaving it to the pub
lie to judge whether she is entitled
to the high school championship of
the State or not. She seems to have
the best claim on the title, but
Rutherford High is hot in pursuit
and wants to play Railway High.
This would be a sporting way out
of it, but Railway says no. 1t is
the opinion Of experts who have fol-
lowed the school teams that Railway
would beat Rutherford. 1t is said
that a game might be played, but
petty jealousies between the rival
coaches prevent 1t. There is small
chance for a game now, with Rah-
way to blame. Inc order to estab-
lish right to a game with Railway.
rutherford played and defeated
Asbury Park High, another claimant
for the championship, yesterday.
Still Railway, though showing less
gallantry than rutherford, will per-
haps be recognized as the best 1914
high school team in the State.

From all accounts, Sam Langford
was very luck "gemmen" to score
a victory over Harry Wills, the New
Orleans colored heavyweight, at Los
Angeles, yesterday afternoon. Up to
the fourteenth round, when Langford
put over a left hook to the jaw for
a knockout, Wills had all the better
of the battle. Wills was considered
a championship possibility and a vic
tory over Langford would have given
him great prestige. His defeat will
put him back for a while. The fight
proved, 1t might be added, that Lang
ford is not the Sam of old. He won,
but he wasn't there as strong as
usual.

The Tom Mccarthy who gave jim
Savage such beating is not such
bad fellow at all He gave Battling
Levinsky the worst of II in ten
round bout in Brooklyn yesterday
afternoon. He is a fast fellow and
Savage says ne can punch. He
knocked Jim down twice in their
bout and Savage claims he broke
two OF his ribs. He comes of the
same stock as the late Luther Nc
Carly, but he may never become as
famous.
o
1t might be well for those who con-
template staging a Savage Weinert
bout TO remember that the fight fans
will not stand for any bunk. II It is
so--and there is no good reason to
doubt it-that Savage is nursing a
few broken ribs it ie difficult to I'M
derstand how he is going to be in the
best physical condition in a couple of
weeks. Interest IN Savage-weinert
bout at one time was exceedingly
largo, but since then both fighters
have been whipped and losers are
never big attractions. However. II
Savage and weinert we're to meet
there would be a pretty big attend
ance and there would be considerable
betting on the outcome. To insure
the public run for it's money a fight
should be arranged with Savage as
opponent against some pretty fair
fellows. Then, IL the local fans think
he would be a good match for Vein
ert, let the battle so on. This would
be only fair to the public and would
be giving Savage the best of the bar
gain, for it would put him in the
