Loughlin.
The Essex Printers Club is holding
an athletic meet and an outing at
Bronner's Park, in Hilton, today. 1t
is the clubs first attempt. but sue
cess is assured. A large crowd Is
expected. and men prominent in the
business and political life of the. city
have assured the committee they will
be present. A baseball game has been
arranged, and there will be tug-of-
war and other sports. The affair will
go on, rain or shine, and it will be a
difficult matter to stop the printers
from having joyous time. Charles
H. Smith. president 'of the club, who
has worked hard for the success of
the outing, writes me as follows:
Dear J. p. NJ:
Many thanks for your excellent
write-up in the Evening Star. The
article was greatly appreciated by
the members of the club, who are
working like beavers to make the OUT
ing a success and recognize the value
of your help. By the way, rain need
not interfere with the fun, as there Is
plenty of room indoors. Very sin
cerely,
CHARLES H. SMITH, President.

Jim Savage has a match on for
sure. Percy Woodruff, who is look
ing after Savage's interests, tells me
so. Percy says that Jim will meet
Porky Flynn at Far Rockaway on
Friday, September 4, and that he is
training as he has never trained be-
fore for the encounter. One particu-
lar thing about Woodruff, he insists
that the men he is handling must
train. That's why he couldn't set
along with Charley Weinert. The
fresh kid wouldn't do what he was
told, and Percy gave him the gate.
Savage knows all about the manner
in which Weinert was canned" and
ne knows he will have to be on the
job If he expects woodruff to bother
with him. Jim really has a grand
chance to make a name for himself.
If he beats Flynn he will get Bat
ting Levinslsy, and that's the fellow
he wants above all. Then, by that
time. if Weinert's butcher shop hasn't
made him a millionaire, he may de-
eide to meet Savage. Just now Vein
ert wants $1,000 to fight Jim, so ne
must figure that such a bout is worth
something. Woodruff says he doesn't
know where Weinert is going to get
the thousand, but he declares Charley
can fight Savage, winner take all, and
If he's the best man he would get
a few hundred surely. Some interest
ing trouble is in the air. We will rest
back and await for developments.

I am indebted to Harry r. Raver,
director general for Werba &
Leuscher who are promoting the
magnificent photo special "Cabiria, .
for an invitation to attend the pre-
miere of the production at Proctor's
Park Place Theatre on Monday,
August 81. The picture has created a
sensation in New York, and Newark
is sure to like it.
The-fronsides take a very sporty
view of the criticism written by Fair
Play and printed in these columns
yesterday afternoon. Their reply, in
full, follows:
]. p. N:
Dear Sir--I am rather interested in
Fair Plays" letter, in which he takes
exception to the write-up inserted in
one of the New York papers, reading:
1.-THE fourth game of a series be-
tween the Ironsides, Of Newark
champions of that city," etc
For the edification of Fair Play
would state that evidently he does
not know that we do not do any ad-
vertising in the New York papers
and all press work for games in New
York are written by the New York
clubs. We do not claim to be cham.
pions of Newark, but we claim to be
the leading semi-pro team in Jer.
