Newark evening star and Newark advertiser. [volume] (Newark, N.J.) 1909-1916, 1914-05-05

Mr.. Ebbets was well aware who the
disorganizers We're and he made it
his business to get rid of them. That's
why one or two ball players who
seemed TO be popular around here
year ago are not with the Tigers this
over getting rid of the indictments
that he has a few words of praise for
the Federal League and says the raid
on his team was a blessing. Harmony
is the watchword on the Newark
team, Mr.. Ebbets declares and that
means Newark will win the pennant.

Christy Mathewson as the man
ager of the st. Louis Cardinals is
yarn that has created much gossip
and much denial. Matty himself says
there isn't a thing to it, and John
McGray and John b. Porter take it
as a joke. As a pitcher Mathewson
isn't all in by long shot, and the
Giants couldn't afford to let him go,
even to st. Louis. while he is still
in the game. Later on, perhaps,
when the great pitcher has seen his
best days, Matty may become a man
ager, but we would be sarry to see
this wonderful fellow finish up his
career with the Cardinals, yet it
might be worse-Cincinnati for in
stance
1t is the general opinion that
Princeton hasn't much of a baseball
team this year, but as one Nassau
enthusiast remarked THAT being so
maybe We'll win the championship. .
However, Yale is strong. and tht
prospects are that the Bulldog vii

Johnny Howard, the Bayonne
boxer, will have the chance of his
pugilistic lifetime tonight over at the
Broadway Sporting club, in Brook
Ign, where he is to meet Mike Glib
| bons in a ten-round bout. OF course
/ Howard may get a good, sound whal
/ ing for his pains. .but the fact thai
| Gibbons is only human" and John.
ny can hit a hard blow is sufIieien
reason for Howard 20 rejoice at thu
| opportunity to meet the cleveres
middleweight in the ring today. How
ard is a good boy, but in neither o
| his fights with Charley Weinert dir
he show that he had a chance agains
Gibbons. Mike is so clever that eve
good boxers are made to look lilt
novices Howard is a pretty cleve
fellow and he may be able to make
good showing against Gibbons. Tn
outlook is. though that Johnny wi
be lucky boy if he is able TO las
the full limit Of ten rounds.

Charley Wenert will start in on
strenuous campaign tonight. He Ia
several fights on, the first of whic
takes place this evening with JAG
Curphy, the light heavyweight ovt
in Bill Browns Gym in New Yor
To keep in the swim Wcinert wi
have to beat Curphy, who, by Il
way, is said to be a pretty good ma
The fact that he gave Jack Tw
4 sullivan hard fight the other nigl

4 thing in his makeup. Later on Wei
ert will meet Roy Kenny, whom
a defeated some time ago at Brown
and he will also meet Al Reich, wi
knocked out Jack Davies. the Ca
i fornian, at the Stadium A. c., in Ne
York, last night. Tom Messeng'
who is looking after Weinert's
81 terests, says that his man is in so
& condition for the bout with .Curp
= tonight, and he also states that he
81 going to send Charley in to fight fro
the drop of the hat. \ decisive v
would be Il big feather in WeinA'
cap, and the young man is ankle
4 to show that he is inisher as W
as a clever boxer.
