The one thing that may help New
ark is the prospects of a third big
league with this city in the circuit.
have heard much about the PROPOSE
ton, and it sounds very good. The
plan is, believe, to compromise with
the Federal League, and form a new
circuit. Two cities In this circuit
would be Newark and Brooklyn,
where the Wards, it is said, are will
ing to stick. Buffalo is also to be a
e-club town, as is Baltimore. Jer-
sey City is to be dropped, the story
goes, and Montreal will not be con-
sidered. There is also to be change
in the West, and a new league will
be formed out there, 1 understand.
The Feds are to sell out in some cases
and in other cases they are to buy
out. The whole matter is up to one
man-Charley Comlskey, of the Chi
eago White Sox. He is against a
compromise, but it must come, it
would seem.

| The Kearny Elks, l understand, are
going to spread themselves in their
celebration for John Dots" Miller.
They are on the job early and there is
no good reason why this affair at
the Polo Grounds should not be
huge success Miller is a credit to
/ hnfh nj
ball player. He broke into the big
league as kid and he made good
from the jump. He has been making
good ever since, and it is more to his
efforts than to any other one man on
the team that the st. Louis Browns,
of which he is the captain, is now
| fighting for the National League pen
nant. The Kearny Elks have done
well in starting something for Miller.
He has been a booster for Kearny
for years and Kearny has never rec
ognized him in the proper way.

General mcfarland has done pref
ty well in arranging the semi-finals
of the Sprint Cycling Derby, but he
should have consulted s. O. e. Co,
Inc, before giving them official sane
tion. If you don't believe it, read:
J. P. NJ:
With the exception of the heat
Rutt-Goullet-S we think the
arrangement of the semi finals, both
professionals and amateurs, is simply
grand and credit should be given
General MacFarland for the intelli-
gent distribution of the differ
ent riders, who are all anxious to win
this international sprint champion
ship, with it's $500 attached.
Without doubt the promoters of the
Velodrome have shown once more,
by giving the riders such rich and
magnificent prizes, that they are not
in the game for the main purpose of
making money, but they can spend
thousands and thousands of dollars
extra, and devote their best energies
to support and better the cycling
game
In talking of the semi-finals of the
Cycling Derby it Is a pretty hard
task to dope out who are going to be
the fnalists. In our opinion 1t Will
be Kramer Goullet- Moretti, unless
Clark and Spears, or Rutt himself
respective heats.
In the amateur division we believe
Kaiser McDougall-Smith will make
the final But who can tell what
might turn up altogether?
Give us the benefit of your opinion,
]. P. N, on these semi finals and who
you think will come out the winners
of the heats.
The European team is our favorite
In the international team race.
Is Frank L. Kramer going to COM
pete in the one-mile international tan
dem race? 1t would be simply grand
IL the following men were to pair up
on tandems:
Grenda- Goullet.
Rutt-Moretti.
Bailey-Spears
Cavanagh- Lawson.
Clark Fogler.
If mcfarland would be able to
arrange such a race, the Newark cy--
cling fans would certainly be thank
full and proclaim Mac the greatest of
all managers. Very truly yours.
THE s. o. & CO. CLUB, INC.
II the Rutt, Goullet and Spears heat
is out of order, why that means that
another heat is also not to your lilx-
ing. Personally, I think Macs ar
rangement is the very best possible.
He might have placed Moretti in
Kramer's heat, though, and put
Grenda along with Clark and Bailey.
You are not very sure of your Sc
lections. Kramer looks good to you,
of course, but you think Rutt or
| Spears might beat Goullet, and that
| Clark may slip in ahead of Moretti.
I prefer Kramer, Goullet and Bailey.
Naturally the European team is your
favorite because Moretti is on it. My
| favorite is the grand old American
| team, with Kramer at it's head. Your
tandem teams are a joke, and Mac
Farland would be horsewhipped if he
stood for such pairing. Kramer and
Goullet as tandem team is the best
thing I know Of
o
| Kind words for Floyd MacFarland,
the cycling manager, and not forget
| ting Mickey Donley, the fighter, are
contained in the following letter:
j. P. NJ:
| Flattery should be carefully avoid
ed, but l can't resist the temptation
to say that in all the years cycling
has been in vogue in this city this
year eclipses all previous records by
it's superior racing meets and calibre
of men who have been performing
And to whom shall credit be given?
Why simply to General MacFarland,
the greatest bike promoter in the
country--nay, the world. Tonight one
of the races will be the intercontinen-
tai match race. / believe that the
team representing Europe will be the
| victor. As a combination Bailey,
