Most of those present were from Jer-
sey. That was proved rather con-
clusively when Weinert entered the
ring. There was much noise.
o
On the outcome of the bout be-
tween Johnny Howard and Bob Nc
i.Allister at the Fairmont A. C. in
New York tonight, will probably de-
pend the next opponent for Weinert.
If McAllister wins Weinert will be
stacked up against the clever Cali
fornian, but if Howard comes out
victorious, of course McAllister will
not be wanted and 1t is not known
how Manager Woodruff would view
the fact that Dan Morgan is doing
business for Johnny However, bust
ness is business, and II Woodruff can
secure match with Howard in the
event of Johnny defeating McAllister,
he should take it-and he very likely
will. Weinert, it is known. is very
anxious to fight Howard and such
bout would stir up great rivalry
right here in Newark

In regard to the squabble between
! the Central High School and the East
Orange High School over the basket
ball game last Wednesday afternoon,
East Orange seems to be willing to
shoulder her share of the blame and
let it go at that Central High will
probably do the same thing. While
both teams were at fault, the rooters
on the outside, 1 understand, were
the real culprits. A letter setting
forth East Oranges view of the af-
fair follows:
East Orange, Jan. 81.
j. P. N:
Upon reading your paper last night
| noticed that a Central supporter
criticised the craftsmanship of the
East Orange H. S. basketball team.
l am willing to admit that the East
Orange team did not put up the clean
game that it has been taught. East
Orange has always been noted for
its clean, sportsmanlike way of play
| Ing. Never III ING HISTORY Ol Tie
school has East Orange had any dis
agreement with any other school, We
have played Barringer, Montclair and
numerous other schools and never yet
| has there been any squabble what
| ever. Feelings have always existed,
Thut also friendly feelings as well.
In reference once more to last even
| ing's letter about our captain, he lost
his head, but the Central team and
rooters helped him along. If the
game had been played in East Orange
no issue would have been taken.
" henever a foul was called on East
Orange the Central students would
root their lungs dry, and If a foul
| happened to be called on Central they
would also yell their loudest when we
We're trying to shoot the foul.
1 should like to take issue with the
gentleman who wrote last nights let
/ ter to you In regard to the saying.
that East Orange bunch" were a
bunch of muckers. I think that the
Evening Star readers will hardly
agree to this Mr.. Files, our princi-
pal. is very much worked up about
this matter and has gone so far as
to suspend two of the best players
on the team, because they did act al
together wrong in the East Orange
Central game.
we nave never DbeI1 hflOWH TO OF
fer excuses for defects up here in
East Orange, and I readily agree that
Central was the better team last
Wednesday. Hoping the argument
will drop, I remain. H. A. T.
Another letter on the Central High
East Orange High controversy has
the following to say:
]. p. N:
I noticed a piece In your paper In
regard to the trouble between the
Central High School and some of the
ST. Benedict's boys Wednesday after
noon. Well, I was right near when
the trouble started, and / assure you,
J. p. N, that do not know one of
the Central players, but 1t GER
tainly was a shame the way this Nc
Dermit and Cavanagh pestered the
Central players, In view. of the fact
that both Cavanagh and McDermit
are basketball players, and st. Bene-
dict has a game on with Central
High. l give the club members credit
that comes down to defend Lerhoff
and the other players and who gave
the Benedict players one beautiful
lacing and just what they deserved.
L. r.
That's good sport" blame 1t on
the other fellow.

Still another letter on the Central
High East Orange basketball squab-
bic. This missive is from the man
ager of the Central High team, and
naturally there is not much fault
found in 1t with Central High. How
ever, a hope is expressed in the letter
that athletic relations between the
schools will not be severed, and that
is the one point both institutions
should consider and endeavor to
straighten out. The letter, coming as
it does from the manager of the Gen.
trail High team, is especially impor-
tant. 1t follows:
J. P. N:
1 was rather surprised in reading
over your column in Thursday Eve

of feeling as shown by some East Or
