At the opening show of the Bay
View Wheelmen, Eddie Nugent, of
Nutley, was supposed to meet Danny
Grower. According to your paper
Nugent is q lightweight. The boy
who was announced as Nugent did not
weigh over lie pounds, Nugent out
pointed his man, who looked to be a
little heavier. Nugent has got a good
left hand and with little more ag-
gressiveness should make good. Hop
ing to see this in your sporting col
umn and to find out if this is the same
boy Jimmy Johnston is taking care
of, 1 am, NUGENT ADMIRER.
The Nugent who boxed at the Bay
View smoker is a member of the Puri-
tan A C. of this city It is not the
same Nugent who is under the man
agement of Jimmy Johnston.

An umpire takes it upon himself to
expose a baseball manager, who, he
claims, padded a box score. Says His
Jumps:
J. P. NJ:
Recognizing your. love of honesty
and fair play in athletics, l am taking
the liberty of requesting that you in
sert in your widely read columns the
following, which will show the in1us-
tice of a padded box scores
Being the umpire in the Chester
Athletics vailsburg Tigers game
Sunday morning at the Roseville
Oval, think at this time 1t would be
we'll to let the public know of the pad
ding of box scores by Manager
Weber. OF the Vailsburg Tigers. There
are many other city teams who have
suffered q like injustice at Manager
Weber's hands, and it is pretty near
time that the matter Of padding box
scores is brought to public attention.
1t is an admitted fact that in Sum
days game Manager Weber and his
men were out to get Foster, the Ches-
ter pitcher, who was formerly their
teammate. 1t Is In justice to Pitcher
Foster that this article is being
printed.
Manager Weber has taken credit
for seventeen hits in the box score,
while in reality they received but Z.
He gives the Chesters, who, by the
way. had a patched-up team, credit
for but three errors. They had thir-
teen. seven of which we're punched
In one inning. Inasmuch as Foster
pitched a wonderful game, the unfair
ness of this box score should be ex-
posed.
If Manager Weber wishes to make
a denial of the above, he can do so In
your columns, and / will bring a SUI
ficient number of spectators to back
up my assertion.
Thanking you in advance Tor tne
publication of the above, I am,
Yours in fair play and sport,
ROBERT McNISH.
1t Is bad business and those who
pad box scores will soon find out that
cheating never pays.
What was the cause Of the Civil
War? II. II. Il.
from 1861 to 1866, were the anti
slavery agitation and the develop
ment Of the doctrine of State
The slavery agitation
dated from 1920. An agreement rela-
tive to the extension of slavery was
embodied that year In a bill passed
by Congress, and the following year,
in 1921, bill was passed admitting
Missouri into the Union as slave
State. This was sanctioned by the
anti-slavery party, because the law
directed that slavery should be for
ever prohibited in all the Louisiana
Purchase territory excepting Mis-
souri,. This slavery concession was
by the Kansas-Nebraska
bill In 1854, which introduced the
principle of local option on the race
question. Agitation became 50 in
tense that the slavery question
wrecked the old Wing party and led
to- the formation of the Republican
party. The immediate occasion for
the Civil War was the election of Lin
coin in 1850, which was followed by
the secession of eleven Southern
States, which claimed the right of in
dependent action as sovereign units
in themselves. and then set up a joint
government, known as the Confed-
crate States of America.
