Lewis and his followers of the Happy

start this controversy. 1t was Mr.
Bendetto, manager of Boonton, and
of course, we had to reply to these

Banty Lewis cannot help what in

Sam Horowitz, stating Banty got
only a draw. Banty beat him and

O.
As far as l am concerned this letter
will settle the argument Unless the
boys are able to get together and do
business. 1t is said that Boonton
cannot make 125 pounds ringside. If
that is so, let him come out and ad-
init it. In the Boonton challenge it
was stipulated that the weight be
1875 pounds, give or take two
pounds which would mean 127
pounds ringside. 1t is also claimed
that Boonton cannot make that
weight Now if Boonton is DESTROYS
with the public he should set every
thing right as to his poundage and
as to his intentions of making a
match with Lewis. He must speak
or get out of the picture.

East Side High School is clamoring
for attention. Her victory at basket
ball over Central High has given her
much enthusiasm and she believes
she has as much right to claim the
school championship as has Central.
A student at East Side, in letter
to me, explains the situation as fol-
lows, and demands another game with
Central, as the title is to be clearly
decided for this season:
J. p. NJ:
nj, bo oh
pionship of the city, don't you think
it advisable for the team to play
another game with East Side? Up
to date these teams have met but
twice, each registering a victory. My
opinion of the matter is that if the
teams do not meet again this season
East Side may claim the champion
ship because of the scores of the
two games already played. The first
game was a victory for the Centrals
at Central by score of &c to 80. This
victory was gained by Central chiefly
through the failure of Referee Ma
loney to call fouls on the Central
players for using rough tactics. In
the second game, played on East
Sides court, East Side gained clean
cut victory by score of 80 TO p. Cen
trail could not find much fault with
the refereering of Mr.. Palmer.
Now, | think that before a city
championship is decided these two
teams should play on neutral court.
This game would decide which team
was the better one, and would arouse
much enthusiasm among the local
scholastic sports. / have heard many
remarks from the Central followers
that before the Central game at East
Side the Central players broke train
ing. This, you know, is no reason
to give for a defeat but playing with
a referee who does not see the fouls
committed is a good reason for a
team to give for losing game. My
only wish is that these two teams
shall meet on a neutral court and de-
eide the issue.
NJ. J., OF EAST SIDE.
East Side will always be given full
credit for defeating Central High, but
the Central High team of the present
basketball period will always be
looked upon as the best school team
of the year.
There seems to be much discussion
at present as to whether in playing
cards one is allowed to look at the
last trick. The question has been
answered several times in these col
umns, and it is answered again in the
negative. The matter is brought up
this time by the following letter, writ
ten by a person who will no doubt,
maintain he is right no matter how
much you prove he is wrong:
J. p. N:
/ noticed with interest that you
