he is going TO get contract at al
whereas he ought to be in a position
to demand a big increase in hi
salary. Clark is not much to cycling
now. He wasn't even missed at tn
Velodrome. MacTarland, though
still has confidence in Jackie, and h
is willing to put him in a position T.
make big money. Clark said ne woul'
sleep over the propositions.

George Stallings, of the Braves, ha
turned down an Offer to appear u
vaudeville. The stage don't know
what it is losing Stallings woul,
pack EN- in" but it is doubtful i
the authorities would pass his act.
An admirer of Manager MaeFar-
land sends an open letter to me foi
publica ton in these columns. The
| letter.
To Mr.. Floyd mcfarland,
| Newark. N. j.:
| Dear Sir-I am bike fan who
very seldom misses a meet, but |
would like to go on record as saying
| that the tandem paced race between
| Egg and Mcnamara was the worst
| that | have ever witnessed. To be-
/ gin with. you might have given Egg
| the race before he started, as he had
| by far the better pacing teams.
What is the matter with Grenda
! Is he still sick? Why didn't he pace
! Mcnamara? He appeared to have
| enough strength to win the half
mile open. / hope that Grenda is
match against Goullet and Kramer,
with Walker as his own partner.
Egg is a wonderful rider, but | be-
| lieve Mcnamara is better The
crowd was simply Disguised because
the race was so slow. The previous
Sunday the race was wonderful.
That was apparent by the way the
crowd acted. It was a race from the
pistol to the finish.
would like to see a match be-
tween Spears and Goullet and if
Bobby beats ALI, | would like to see
him race Kramer. Spears proved he
was there when he defeated
Moretti. The Italian certainly dis
| Bobby passed him. II. II. 5.
j. r. NJ
! am writing this to Mr. MacFar-
land so as to make it emphatic.
r. Fl. S.
| In answer, Mcfarland says he
agrees with you in all your views,
but requests that you advise him
personally, not publicly, in the
future. Spears, it is expected, will
be one of the real stars next year.
Then he will be given an opportunity
to meet Kramer and Goullet, 1t is
too late this season.

A correspondent believes Kid
Boonton earned draw with Banty
Lewis, but he didn't. The letter:
j. p N:
/ was a spectator at the Kid Boon
ton Banty Lewis bout, and l think
that the bout was one of the best
and most exciting I have ever wit
messed, and l have been going to
fights for the last twenty years.
see where Boonton tipped the beam
at 12715 and Lewis 1921 pounds, re-
spectively. The way Banty came
out of the clinches convinced me
that he was trying to rough his OPP
ponent by butting him with his head,
and this he accomplished after sew
eral attempts in the fourth round,
when he succeeded in opening up
big cash on Boonton's eye. Even
with this handicap, I think Boonton
should have gotten the decision. 1t
seems a shame that an out-of-town
boy can't get a square deal. 1t is
too bad that you were at Boston,
Y xAI.
the fight / think Boonton would
have got a square deal. ] have seen
the four bouts between Lewis and
Boonton. and think Boonton earned
the decision in three out of the four,
and still he never got a draw in the
Newark papers. Although these
boys have fought four times, l think
the management would do wise
stunt II they would rematch them,
as I believe they are two of the
greatest fighters Jersey has ever
produced.
Well. see where the much talked
match between Weinert and Savage
comes off next week. This is sure
going to be some fight. and Savage
had better be in condition. because
weinert is not such a boob" as
some people think. He has been
training for the last two weeks, and
got in good condition before he
agreed to fight Savage. Yours
truly, ROYAL SPORT.
From all accounts, Lewis out
pointed Boonton. Az to the Savage
Weinert bout, let us hope that the
next champion of the Oranges does
not turn out to be lemon

Taking Mickey Donley's part in a
controversy and explaining how he
won two fights in Philadelphia is the
eist of this communication;

| read an article in your sport
Topics" in the Evening Star
written by James Tyler, which
would like to contradict to a certain
extent. In the first place, MIR. Tyler
saws he attended the first show in
which Donley had AL Nelson as his
opponent Donley was returned an
easy winner. and as a result he was
matched with formidable antagonist,
in the person of Bobby Loughrey, who
comes from a family of battlers. In
the first round Mickey fought his man
all over the ring. Bobby was hit on
the lip with hard smash, which
