match race--it is said to be April 26-
all the cycling fans and admirers
| should be able to bet their good
money on the best man. Our choice
as always, is Goullet. Clark will
have more than chance to show il
| he is able this year to capture the
sprinting and five-mile races.
Well, what is Bobby Spears doing
| Waiting for the warm weather? We
| hope you will get as many sunny days
as you get in your beloved antipodes
and you will show again the won
derful form you were in at the enc
| of last season. Warm up, boy, and
| be more of a careful rider. Bobby
| you need to learn how to use yon1
| speed and your strength at the right
| moment.
| All riders should be given an OPP
| portunity to show at their best al
4 the Velodrome. Spears is entitled &c
/ return match with Kramer. Still
no one seems to care for the
elongated rider, and his name is not
mentioned at all among the stars. In
our opinion, only five men can show
| Rutt that our Velodrome has great
riders outside of Kramer, and these
men are Goullet, Clark, Grenda,
| Spears and Cayanaugh. Very truly
yours 5. o. u CO.
An old.timer springs some new
stuff and takes a poke at Banty
| Lewis:
J. P. N:
| have read With interest during
the past two weeks the correspond
| ence in Sport Topics" in regard to
| the respective merits of Patsy Kline,
, Banty Lewis and Irish Mahon.
| have been attending the boxing bouts
! in this city for the past twenty-five
years, and have had considerable ex-
perience. In regards to the ability
of Lewis, | have been one of his
| most ardent rooters since his first
bout at Paddy McGuigan's, in Harri-
son. In those days, he was fighting
the best boys in the bantamweight
! class.
When Lewis came back from Paris
| met Billy Ambry at the Hillside a.
c. Lewis was fighting Johnny DAILY
at the time. Ambry told me that he
had given Lewis up. When l asked
why, Ambry told me that Lewis was
very tricky and would only fight
boys that he knew he could beat.
Lewis's recent fights show that he
is fighting only third and fourth
raters. All of these press writeups
come from the Happy Ramblers, who
are not judges of fighters, as they,
themselves, lack the experience.
also asked Ambry whether or not
Lewis was going to fight Patsy
Kline, but Ambry said Lewis was not
in Kline's class.
Lewis boxes now at Brown gym
nasium. Jack Mccarthy Is ms man
ager, and as matchmaker of the club
he is picking easy ones for Lewis. All
of the other managers are wise to
Eantys tricks, and that ia why Lewis
always boxes at Browns.
Irish Mahon beat Lewis fair and
square at Troxler's some time ago,
and Mahon is q much classier boy
than Lewis ever will be, both in hit
ting and in cleyerness.
In closing, | wish to state, j. p.
~, that Lewis has not fought first
class boy since his return from
Paris.
AN OLD FIGHT FAN OF NEWARK.
Lewis says he would fight Kline If
he could get large enough purse,
and Banty and Mahon, it is said, are
going to box over at Browns on
April IA. Now, you can't say that
he is picking class men.

Sailor White, the noble seaman,
has been discovered The, following
| communication explains his absence:
j.. p. N:
In looking over the Evening Star
last week, | came across an item in
which the writer asks the question,
what has become of Sailor White.
and where is his hiding place!" Now
l will put the writer and any one
else who wishes TO know wise by this
letter.
Immediately after his fight with
Weinert, the Sailor, who took an
awful beating, left Newark and went
to New York. While still in groggy
condition he jumped into small sail
boat, anchored in the New York bay,
and naturely being a hardy old sea
man. he pulled anchor and set SAN
for the open sea. He had no partieu-
lar Mace in mind for which he was
heading He just wanted to get away
from the clamor and excitement of
the prize ring.
After sailing for a few days he re-
gained his lost senses and his first
thoughts We're to return to Newark
SO as TO give reason for his defeat.
But the wind was against him, and
he had to keep on going. But as all
things must come to an end, the wind
finally died down and gave him a
chance to turn his boat toward home.
| received a wireless from him say
ing the trip did him a world of good.
He also said that he felt full of fight
and when he reached terra firma
again he would be willing to meet
any heavyweight in the business,
Weinert included. His little sail-boat
is due this week and warn all fight
| ers in the heavyweight class who do
! not care to meet a human cyclone in
( the ring to be sure and side step the
Fighting Tar"
Hoping the above Will satisfy any
/ one as to the hiding place OF the
! Sailor, and also let the public know
that he is by no means done with the
| fighting game, | will close awaiting
| the arrival of the hearty seaman.
Z Yours truly,
J. c. S.
