Here is a reply to IS. o. & Co. So
letter of few days ago:
j. P. NJ.
| I wish to thank IS. o. & Co." for
expressing whom they thought would
be the 1914 champions. l will admit
| that l was early in asking for this
| Information, but l was anxious to
| get their opinions. l think Goullet
] will give Kramer a hard fight, but
| am sure that Kramer will ride, and
ride hard, to get this years cham
pionship I think that Kramer will
retain his title. l am not SO sure
of Rutt. Another thing IS. o. & Co."
mentions of which l am not sure
| That is, that Donald McDougall will
lose his title. / will admit that he
will have a hard time with Kaiser
Smith, Hanley and the others, but
think Donald will retain his title. Let
us hope that he does. The twenty
five mile championship will GER
tainly give to Grenda, but watch out
for Mcnamara, Spears, Clark or
Goullet.
As you state, j. p. N, it is hard
to say what is going to happen. I
some nifty riders with us here this
year.
Don't think because all my praise
is for Mcnamara that 1 do not think
of Clark, Goullet and Grenda. Just
keep your eye on the last two named.
Not SO much on the first one, for 1
think he will make a poor showing
| this year.
l thank you for what you say con-
corning Reggie" in Brussels. l am
overjoyed to hear that he is doing so
well.
J. p. p, I asked you once before,
when will the races start, but the
question must have gone astray, as
don't think it was answered.
SAME BIKE FANNESS.
The Velodrome season will open
the first Sunday In April, I under
stand. The question has been an
swered several times in this column.
Now it's Prof. Gus Troxler who Is
in for attack His shows are not up
to the mark, Knockers declare.
But the fellows have a remedy, and
Mr.. Troxler is supposed to obey.
However, the letter taking the pro-
fessor to task follows:
j. P. NJ:
Having had the opportunity of wit
Messing the bouts at Troxler's for the
past few weeks, am of the opinion
that the spectators are not getting
their moneys worth With few ex-
oeptions, such as the Fasane-Mc-
Weigh, Kid Boonton-Banty Lewis
bouts, they have every reason to be
dissatisfied and lose interest in the
game.
What seems to be the trouble with
that Kid Boonton? Is he afraid of
Lewis? The general opinion of we
boys on the hill is If Lewis and Boon
ton were put on it would cheer up
all concerned and give Lewis an op-
portunity to put him away. This, in
my opinion, would draw the best
crowd ever seen at Troxler's show.
HILL SECTION BOYS.
The Troxler shows, l understand,
are. simply great. Those that I have
witnessed were immense. When you
want to get your friend a match
don't knock others to bring your de-
sires about. Be fair, even If it is
painful.
j. P. N:
This appeared in the New York
Evening Journal under Right Cross"
THE professional bike riders are
hurting back to New York, which is
the worst knock on this metropolis
since that flock of wrestlers landed"
What does he mean and what does
he know about bicycle races?
A LOST GOAT.
1t doesn't require any knowledge or
intelligence to produce such reading.
The gentleman evidently believes he
is funny so why disturb his pleasure?
Some little boy has lost medal
and Mr.. Jack Masters has got it.
He wants to restore it to the owner,
and he has written the following let
ter to the Evening Star for that
purpose:
J. P. N:
I have in my possession a bronze
medal such as presented by the Eve
ming Star to the athletes placed in
the games of the M. A A., of New
ark, July 4, 1913. The same is en-
graved "Jr. Relay" I purchased
| same from street urchin, who had
1t pinned on his coat. The boy said
he found 1t. Knowing how highly
such trophies are priced, I should
| like to find the owner of the medal
| Can you assist me? Yours very
truly, JACK MASTERS,
SO Court st. Newark, N. j.
| Three fresh kids, who would have
the world believe that Jimmy Nc
Weigh could give Gradwell lessons in
boxing, write as follows:
j. P. NJ:
I was a spectator at the recent
Gradwell- McVeigh bout at Browns
Gymnasium in New York. Pray tell
me where does Gradwell come off to
know anything about boxing? l can
remember when McVeigh gave Young
Bill Gradwell lessons.
THE SILENT THREE.
Allowing all you say to be true,
why doesn't McVeigh agree to meet
Gradwell in another match? That's
what I'd like to know, in view of the
fact that Jimmy's friends seem to
think that Gradwell is so easy.

When young man, seventeen years
of age, joins the navy and goes In
training at Newport, can the naval
authorities or the United States hold

charge or furlough? Does an X-ray

remarks on our coming champion
