streight. Their work in the field Is az
brilliant as ever or at least it was on
| Saturday But their batting-Well,
Joe, there wasn't any such thing on
Saturday.
You see. Joe, the Athletics whole
system of attack is simply their
unusual ability to hit the ball and the
confidence they have in themselves to
outguess their opponents and pull off
anything they start Each man goes
to the plate with the feeling that the
visiting boXman must work his hard
est from one end of their batting Or
/ der to the other and Mack figures
! that if one man don't come through
with the necessary swat the next one
will. But when the whole batting or
der is stood on its head the way 1t
was in the last game any team would
loose its confidence and unless the
Philadelphia club regains its old
punch at the bat pretty soon Mack
will have to make a complete change
in his offensive game.
Well, Joe, / hope they do recover
their batting ability, for ] expect to
pich one of the games in Boston and
] want to meet them at their best.
If James can hold them to two hits
/ think / ought to pich a no-hit game

Objects to the decision In the Lewis
Boonton bout:
J. P. N
must say, ]. P. N, that your de-
cision on the Banty Lewis and Boon
ton fight was very unsatisfactory to
a good many people who saw the
fight. Lewis is friend of mine, and
I I. Al,
as anybody, but he wasn't there.
And, also, If Banty didn't lose. why
the only way he will ever lose is to
be knocked out. You say he won. If
he won why did he foul? I never
saw a man yet who fouled when he
was winning. w. M.
Lewis won, and you are not friend
of his, either. You were for Boonton
and he was beaten and you lost a
nickel and now you're squealing. Be
sport
Here is another kick from about
the same source:
]. P. N:
I was at the Lewis Boontonl fight
and | think Boonton is not getting
square deal from your paper
think if the referee knew his bust
ness he would have disqualified Lewis
for fouling. I don't think / ever saw
anybody foul as much as Lewis did
AN ADMIRER OF THE STAR.

knowledge the fact? Who is your
