Basketball is fast and exciting
game and it could be made big
sport in this city. All that is re-
quired is a little judicious manage
ment and the elimination of the
hoggish players who want to be on
all the leading teams. II they cared
to, the National Turner's and the
Newark Turner's could stir up a heap
Of interest by arranging a series of

The bike track at the Armory is
beauty TO look at, but some of the
boys seem to think that it will not
be so easy TO ride upon. One Of the
doubling Thomases is Bob Spears,
who got his first peek at the saucer
yesterday afternoon. Spears, after
one long look, said to Floyd Mac
Farland, who, of course, is going to
manage the Newark six-day race:
Say. Mac I'm tried already, and
know I will never be able to ride
that track Why when I go into
one turn I will meet myself coming
out of the other turn Spears,
whom MacFarland predicts will be a
great rival of Kramer and Goullet
in the sprint races next year, is
teamed up with Frank Cory in the
ten-hour grind, and If he is able to
use his speed to advantage on the
track he is sure to be a keen con-
tender when 1t comes down to the
hour finish a week from tomorrow
night.
Newark evening star and Newark advertiser., 1914-12-11

The fans. who have not shown
much enthusiasm over the coming
race, are beginning TO wake up, and
are now doing much talking about
the grind. One fan called me up on
the telephone this morning and in
formed me that he would be at leisure
for the sprint meet Saturday and that
he expected to suspend business all
next week, in order not to miss any
thing that might come off at the
armory. The Annie oakleys'' for
the race are not any too numerous,
and those who have left their re-
quests until the last moment are
likely to be fooled. Ben Smith, the
actor, was early on the job, and he
will be the guest Of tho promoters all
week.
The We'll! Weili' man OF the Polo
Grounds is dead. His name was
Frank B. Ward, and he became
famous as a rooter for the New York
Giants. Newarkers will recall the
tremendous voice of this enthusiastic
fan, who was siXty-nins years old.
He missed few games. he had much
sport and he was a loyal rooter for
the home team.

Basketball seems to be in nigh favor
in Newark this season. Not so many
years ago it was the favorite winter
sport hereabouts, but the methods of
few anxious managers and several
star players put crimp in the at
tractiveness of the game. Then it
was a common thing to see the same
players representing three or four
teams, with the result that the fans
finally became disgusted and refused
to patronize the games. While there
is some of that sort of thing going
on now, il is curtailed in way. and

pected comes to pass.
The re-entry of Carl Victor inio
the boxing game adds interest to the
sport in this community. \ clever
fellow, Victor's heart was broken
when he was beaten by Young Grad
well and he faded out of sight for
about year. Now he comes back
again as a seeker of pugilistic
honors and he is evidently anxious
to find out how he stands IN q hurry,
for he has picked out Jimmy Nc

attention of the fans. for both boys

and even the nimble McYeigr will

he was in the game before, and 1t
is said that McTelgh has more
