teams, have some friends. too. Inter
est in the outcome of the games is in
evidence e1ary day, and the increased
sale of the Pink Editions of the Eve
ming Star shows the anxiety of the
fans to find out the scores. Then,
too, telephone messages by the thou
sand come into this office every eve
ming and the question invariably is,
"Who won, and what is the scorer
This information is given with the
greatest of pleasure and the fans
are invited to call up the Evening
Star and get the correct score.

President Tener of the National
League, in dealing out punishment
to the players involved in the row on
the diamond in Chicago on Wednes-
day, has acted wisely and well under
the circumstances. Ordinarily, the
players would have been fined and
suspended, but with the clubs in a
close fight for the pennant, President
Tener evidently figured that it would
not be well to be too severe. In fning
Zimmerman, of the Cubs, 500, and
Evers of the Braves, the same
amount, perhaps the players have
paid for their rowdylsm. But under
other circumstances the punishment
would and should have been more
severe.

!, One fan at least thinks that Goullet
won fairly. Listen to him:
j. P. NJ:
After viewing wednesday nights
races l have come to the conclusion
that the fans are the most inconsist-
ent crowd l know of. Then rooted and
hooted Goullet without cause. The
"Brainy Brooklynite" is not like the
other things that come from Brooklyn.
He does not have to be pushed, but
rather he has to be pulled He is a
quick thinker He knew Goullet If al
| lowed to place himself in front, would
| try and fight his battle from there,
and. of course, he would take him
along to storm the automatic puncher.
Neither of the riders is a particular
favorite of mine, but credit must be
given to Fogler for brainy action. His
head works like Uppercu's fash. It
| is unfair to criticize Goullet. Ii
some of those wise fans were in need
| of funds and were applying Tor a
position and n long line of applicants
were there would they not try and
place themselves in the most favor
able spot? st is ever thus II you
don't try you are not giving them a
run for their money. II you do try
and are successful you are PANIED.
! Give them credit, boys. BE like J. p
N. and say, Justice renders to every
man his due"

The following letter is a protest
against the Ironsides claiming the
championship of the city:
]. p. N:
| The following is a quotation from
a New York paper of Angst q, 1914:
THE fourth game of a big series
between the Ironsides, of Newark,
champions of that city, and the strong
Suburban A. Co. etc.
| Would like to ask when the IRON
sides won the title, as there seems to
be considerable doubt In Newark.
They have won a number of games,
but they have not accepted all chal-
| lenges in their own city. The West
! inghouse team has defeated teams
that have defeated the Ironsides. and
| from an authentic source the writer
| is in the possession of information
that Westinghouse stands ready to
cancel any date to play them. Chal-
| lenges have been made before, but
| have been shelved. 1t is evident that
| the Ironsides are arraying themselves
In borrowed plumes.

test against the Ironsides posing as
champions of the city until they have
accepted the challenge and defeated
the w. E. & NJ. Co. Being sure that
your sense of fair play will prompt
YOU to publish this protest I remain,
yours, etc, FAlR FLA T.
Claiming a championship is one
thing. possessing 1t is another The
Ironsides, understand, are not very
keen on playing local teams. How
ever. the championship of Newark
has not been decided, so the Westing-
house team is as much entitled to 1t
as the. next one.

Backing up Mickey Donley, the
fighter, and running down Ross, the
referee, in the following letter shows
that a person can be for one and
against the other without turning a
hair:
]. P. N:
Mickey Donley in his letter to me
informs me that he will again enter
the padded ring at Rockaway Beach
on September 2. and his opponent viii
be Kid Sullivan, of Brooklyn. DonleA
has created such an impression with
the Beach fans that the management
: has put him on for the main bout
he is in the pink of condition anc
ready to put up a rafting CO.
Why not let Prof. Troxler mattel
Boonton with Donley, instead of JUS
Banty Lewis? Boonton and Levi:
have fought on three occasions, and
while all the bouts were interesting
and satisfactory. yet why impose
them upon the public when there ar,
other men equally as good and always
available to do battle with Boonton o.
Lewis?
Just a few lines about the race
Wednesday night at the Velodrome
The disqualification of Cameron wa
an injustice Ross said he was team
ing. If such was the case, 1t take
two men to team, and who was tn
other participant in the teaming com
: pact? The answer Is simple-Jo
Fogler If Cameron was set down 70
q one week, why wasn't Fogler? Sin
