that city and that Mordecai Brown,
the manager, will be ordered to en-
force them Here are the laws:

o'clock each night.
Excessive card playing or
gambling of any kind prohib-
tied

given.

Newark boys are making the big
leagues in punches. The latest to
catch on with the majors are Joe
Sachs, the catcher, and Billy Estes,
the first baseman. Sachs played with
the Westinghouse and the Forest Hill
teams and Estes was a member of
the Nutley and Forest Hill teams.
Sachs and Estes are now playing with
the Paterson team of the Atlantic
League and have been purchased by
the Chicago White Sox They are to
join Chicago at the close of the
Atlantic League season. The Newark
fans will soon be kept pretty busy
watching the movements of local
players in the big show"

The Harvard and Union crews are
back from London sounding the
praises of the English for the royal
manner in which they were treated
England is very hospitable when you
are around, but she has had ten
deney to spill the milk afterward
She has wined and dined and petted
our athletes before, only to roast them
to turn afterward. But England is
not SO much unlike other countries,
and it is better in a good many ways
than our own glorious country, in
that she at least will stick up for her
own. Over here, especially in New
ark, the craving seems to be to have
some foreigner come over here and
whip us to a finish. Harvard scored
a great triumph in winning the Grand
Challenge Cup and she deserves all
the praises that England cares to
heap on her. She beat England's best
handily and the Union crew also beat
her best 1t must have been humili-
ating to the English to see two Amer
lean crews battling in the final for the
famous cup. Really, it must have
been such a good joke that England
couldn't help cheering. But to her
great credit she kept her cheering up,
though not that she liked her own
oarsmen any the less. 1t was the VIC
tory, not the victors. that won Great
Britain's approval
And the Railway Veteran" comes
back:
Railway, July Ia.
I'm in again! My. oh my, brother,
you certainly can hand it outl But,
gee whiz, l seem to like you the bet
ter for the call" But, j. p. NJ. [
do protest against being called a
Wise Ike" / simply told my neigh
Dor that If there were any combi-
nations In the race Ross would get
them. Perhaps | had it so worded
in my letter that you judged that |
thought | knew there were going to
be combinations in the race. for YOU
certainly did act accordingly. | give
your motion about picking out a
good citizen" to boost a hearty sec
ond." | also indorse what you say
about the Gave Man" I'm an Irish
man, and mighty proud of it, but |
think when it comes to fighting from
a cycling viewpoint Cavanagh is a
disgrace to the color of his jersey.
After all, j. p. N, this is a free
SOuntiy, anu Cdii Hidii is Gnlllleu
to think what he pleases, and even
thought they say it's fool that don't
change his opinion when it's proven
he's wrong, I still think that Cav
wy and the champ teamed. Allow
me to apologize for the mean letter
II wrote you, for / was sore and in
bad humor when / read what you
said about the Peerless Kramer, for
1 really believed he had teamed.
With more respect than ever for the
power of the press, | am
RAILWAY VETERAN.
Right wrongs no man and the
difference of opinion makes bicycle
racing. 1t is well to see the light,
though, and admit, when you are
wrong. Thanks.
And here's a RAILWAY Regular
who takes the veteran" to task:
Railway, July IA, 1914.
j. p. N.
After reading the so-called "Rah-
way Veterans" letter In the Evening
Star | had to write my views on
Sunday races. After the great ride
that Kramer made to get on Cav
anagh's wheel / fail to see where
anybody takes exception to the way
the race was won. If this "Rah-
way Veterans" star could have got
on Cavanagh's wheel it would have
been all right, and you would never
heard murmur from him. | have
