accomplishing his object, but then nc
man can guarantee a pennant Win
| ner. As far as Irwin is concerned
his finds are about fit for the In
ternational League, and Farrell will
never have better until he gets a
scout like Larry Sutton, who dug up
most of the Brooklyns, such as Dal-
ton and Daubert. J. p. N, can you
imagine a man from your press room
coming in to tell you how to run
your sporting sheet? | can see him

A NEWARK FAN.
IL so happens that / do know the
whole story and that is why have
so positively placed the blame. All
managers are not supposed to win
remnants, but a man who is liberal
enough to pay a manager $4,000 a
year is entitled to more considera-
ton than Chance gave Mr.. Farrell
that is one bet you'll have to admit
that I win.
Here is a correspondent who must
| have graduated from one of the
schools where artistic knocking was
one of the studies:
j. P. NJ:
/ In Thursday nights Sport Topics
1 read what Fair Play East Or
ange'' fan had to say about Chance,
and would say your answer was right.
| But when Chance first took hold of
the Yanks / was in Waterbury, Conn,
talking to Candy" La Chance, and
he asked me what I thought the New
York Americans wanted with an old
cripple like Chance when no one else
| wanted him. So you see it's up to
the people who hired him.
We all get stale in our positions,
even yourself. You are not the sport
ing editor you used to be. To prove
lit / would like to say six years ago
you would not think of boosting q
failure and knocking a conner, as you
do in the Savage Weinert case. Now,
j. p. N, / lived In Orange thirty
years ago, and as long as | know 1t is
Savage who does all the posing and
who never did a tap of work. | am
member of one of Oranges best
clubs, and they all admit that no one
in Orange would want such a fight.
Weinert has too good a name to think
of fighting Savage. whose friends are
very, very few; and again, there is
ruff is a pretty good fellow, but has
no money to back anyone, unless it
is in Troxler's, where the manager
and fighter get rake off for ticket
money. How could Weinert get any,
where by sticking where there is no
coin? Weinert is good card, that
you know, but not SO with Jim.
Weinert is not only a good mitt
artist, but also good business man.
Anyone who can make money in the
butcher business now, when half the
meat shops are closing up, knows
something. Please give Weinert
credit, because II he does make good
you will have to gradually fall back
in. line with the rest of his boosters
1t hurts people of the Oranges to read
what you say about Weinert, and
does you no good. II you want to
see a swellhead and some posing Jump
in car any day and see Savage in
front of the Music Hall, Orange.
where he has posed for the last ten
years. Hoping to see this published
II remain r. C. L.
Chance is a matter OF history now; :,
Weinert seems to have a future, and
1 am strong for winner. Again, 1
must say, am not knocking Weinert,
am simply telling the truth about
the swelling of his head A fight with
Savage and a. victory would make
Weinert a hero up in the posing
zone" but the Butcher Boy Is ap-
parently leary about his chances with
Jim. You're mistaken in my case. I
am getting better all the while and
my salary goes up every year, but I
never expect to reach the 800, 900 mark.
II you have lived in Orange thirty
years you must be some old has-been
yourself, and you might be mistaken
in regard to the members of one of
the best clubs" not wanting to see
Savage and Weinert fight. Woodruff
is responsible for Weinert, but Wein-
ert is too egotistieal to show his ap-
probation. AS you claim Savage is
the champion poser of the Oranges
and others declare that Weinert is
entitled to the honor, why not have
them fight it out in the squared circle
and let it go at that?

A fight fan complains that his IA
vorite boxers are not given enough
attention in the papers. He says:
j. p. N:
| am writing to-ask you why it is
that boxers like Joe Shugrue and Hun
Ferris (known as frankie Conway
are practically ignored in your paper.
Here we have Shugrue just after
cleaning up in Australia, and max
ing big hit. He had five fights.

Meghan and gaining the decision over
young Saylor twice. Now the Ameri-
can press even went so far as to
give the fight to Saylor l hav., rhe
clippings of the Sydney Referee and
Boxing to prove that Joe won from
Saylor on July IL and won by a big
margin. At the end of the bout,
which the critics declared was the
greatest lightweight fight seen there
in sometime, the referee, Harold
| Baker, gave the fight to joe His de-
| feat by Kid Lewis, who claims the
| featherweight championship, can
easily be accounted for. He is a 49,
| pound ''featherweight." Shugrue
made 1856, and with the advantage in
weight Lewis was declared the win
ner. The press admits Joe was treat
ed wrong, and a second fight was ar
ranged. when Lewis, without cause
left for England.
