Your very truly,
FOX ADMIRER.
This is some statement of facts,
but Clark, I understand, is not afraid
of anybody his weight in the bust
ness, so he will probably be heard
from.
This tells of an argument between
rival baseball teams:
J. P. N:
Our team, the Franklins, of Orange,
went to Bloomfield to play the Bloom
field Tigers. In the eighth inning,
with the score tie, the Tigers had
one man on first with one down. One
of their batters then hit the ball and
the ball in turn hit the batter, roll
ing within the safe line. The umpire
called the batter safe on first An
argument then took place. The
Bloomfield men had the money and
refused to give us our share of the
receipts. When we asked for our half
of the carfare from Orange to Bloom-
field, the Bloomfield men threw stones
at us. Do you think that was fair
play? FRANKLIN FAN.
If fairly hit ball hit the batter
when he was in fair territory the
batter was out. Anyway and no mat
ter. it wasn't fair to throw stones at
the Franklins. But be a sport, as the
boys around the corners say. pocket
your losses and do not play those
naughty boys any more.

A bike fan writes in the interest
of an amateur star and says:
j. P. NJ:
AS 1 am an interested reader of
your sport Topics of the Hour |
wish you will publish same in your
columns.
Why doesn't Manager mcfarland
arrange match between Phil Chanin
or William Murray and Jack Stein
field? l think such a match would
create much excitement. Steinfeld is
known as the human motorcycle
along Broad street, when he PAGES
autos and runs away from them. A
future bicycle star should not be
overlooked by anyone. AS he is a
youngster, in a few years we expect
him to be wonder. I do not see why
you should not help him along to the
match by telling Manager MacFar-
land. In the seventh heat of the anna
teur stakes held on Sunday, August
80, he beat Chanin to the tape.
Hoping you will be of some help to
him, l remain, yours truly,
FAN FROM THE MONTGOMERYS.

Who is considered the best rider,
Bailey or Clark? What is the price
of Champion Kramer's wheel? When
will the Velodrome close? Yours as
ever. M. c.
Just now Bailey is riding better
than Clark. Kramer's wheels are of
foreign make, and cost the champion
$50. The Velodrome will close, Man
ager mcfarland says, when the
weather becomes too cold to race.
