molder of public opinion. However,
there are Il few of us left who are
still sticking to Uncle sam.

The prospects of a match in New
York between Billy Murray and Mike
/ Gibbons are not so very rosy. Muir
/ ray is matched out on the coast,
which is his home neighborhood, and
the inducements are SO enticing that
he may not be able to turn them
down. He would like to remain in
the East for a while, | understand,
and he is particularly anxious to fight
Gibbons. That's what we would all
Ike to sea Gibbons Murray fight.
The opinion is prevalent that Mike
went take a good whipping and that
he won't stand and fight a man of
the smuggling type of Murray. For
that reason there is a desire TO see
him face Murray, who is a most re-
lentless fellow in the ring. OF course,
Mike might be able to knock Billy's
head off," but we would like to be
there when he is doing 1t. If Gibbons
were to fight Murray and beat him,
it would offset all the nasty things
said about Mike when he fought Ed
die McGoorty and "tincanned' it
around the ring

Hal Holland, the Splinter, is at
Lake Hopatcong doing a little light
training. How Hal got there is the
story, though. lie writes that he
walked to the lake, along with an
actor. Holland expects to get into
action before long and some day he
also expects to be the foremost man
in the game at go yards. He has
made record time at that distance,
but, no matter how fast he runs,
there always seems some one who is
just able to top him.

The fans have their different views
on the Kramer-C Clark match race. A
few of them follow:
J. z. N:
Again | come to you for d decision,
This time it is about the Kramer
Clark match race and the Cayanagh
race / want to know if it is possible
to disqualify Il rider in "a match race
for foul tactics? If so, why was not
Frank Kramer disqualified for
Switching Clark? | am not say
than Kramer but nevertheless you
must admit that little Jackie rides
his races without resort to foul tao
| tics. Why was Cavanagh disquali-
! fled in the Huerta Stakes? | did not
see him do anything that might serve
to put him out, but ! did see Grenda
"switch" Spears, who was the prob
able winner. Decisions like the above
are not conducive to good sport.
Yours, OBSERVER.
]. p. NJ:
Some class the way Kramer showed
up Clark nd made him look like a
| "boob." How quick they notice when
| Oh! that's different He can do just
what he wants and SO can the others,
but nobody ever mentions that. Poor
"Old Steve" l cannot understand how
| he can always stay in the rear like
in that five-mile Sunday, and then
when he does make a bid for home
there in q pocket" Same old tune:
oh! that teaming was clever. Kra-
mer did not have an easy race with
all that going on. Rutt won because
| he did not have much to fight, but
If "Old Steve was there, good
night" for him. When will the Clark
Rutt match come off. | am waiting
patiently. OLD TIMER.
j. p. N:
There seems to be a difference OF
opinion on the following question
and believing that we can secure al
unbiased opinion from you we sub
NIT the problem to you for your best
judgment.
A claims that if Mr.. Frank Louis
Stevens Kramer were to die and II
during the funeral procession Mr. A
Jackie Roberts Clark were to attempt
to pass on bicycle, the horses draw
ing the hearse would Immediately
break into gallop and leave him il
the rear.
b contends that this would depend
entirely on the character of the roaC
and If on a curve they would fore,
Jackie UP the bank and then out-gal
lop him in the straight-away.
Your decision on this momentou
question will be awaited with grea
interest.
Judging from the way the multi
tude flock out South Orange ayenu
on Sunday afternoons it would APP
pear that the opposition of the Jour
nal with the sour stomach" is not do
ing the game much harm. II. l.. l..

The ''soreheads" are still of tn
opinion that Frank l.. Kramer wo
from Clark by switching" The Ney
York papers, through their CORE
, spondents affiliated with the anti
, cycling organ of this city, printe
, the above sprecious information, Civ
. ing the public the wrong impressio
that the Australian was fouled an
has still a chance with big Steve.
l We would like to have a statemen
through the Evening Star from jack
Clark in regard to this, giving the blk
fans of this city and his admirer
the personal opinion of the mate
