, the judges, or referee. in case Of q
foul, the money to go to the winner
as declared by the judges. The par
} ticular fight in question was the one
, between Wagner and Conrad at the
last boxing tournament conducted
under the auspices Of the National
, Turn Verein. AS choice was Conrad
and B bet on Wagner. Both men en-
tered the ring, but Wagner refused to
box, claiming that he sprained his
wrist in his preliminary bout, which
he won. Conrad also won his pre-
liminary bout Wagner gives the bout
to Conrad, declaring him the winner
and Conrad receives first prize. How
does the bet stand? There seems to
he great diversity of opinion about
the bet A claims he is entitled to
the stakes, because Wagner really
started his fight when he want into
Z the preliminary and was 10 lie to
finish, having been practice y put
out in his bout, although he vi win
1t. B claims the bet off. Who IS cor
rect? N K. T.
would say that the bet Is o draw,
as there wasn't any action. In horse
racing when the horses go to the post
other sports you generally get run
for your money It Is the only way,
for IL bets were decided otherwise 1t
would leave too big an open'cg for
crookedness. A boxer could come
into the ring and refuse to fight and
though he wouldn't suffer any in rep
utation. He might throw" his back
ers in other ways but he would also
be sufferer. The bet is a draw for
there wasn't any fight and there
wasn't any result--no winner, no
loser.

l hope you will not take offense at
the few remarks the Frenchy cor
poration are about to make.
First of all. we wish to ask where
you get off to say that Sammy Lehr-
hoff is the best schoolboy basket all
player hereabouts? Do you consider
h n, better thai McDerm t. of St.
Benedicts, or Whitehill, the Ruther-
iOTu f1lSn SCHOOL c6nITes
We now wish to take IS o. 6 CO."
to task. Why in the name Of creation
do they also mention Moretti and
Verri when referring to stars of the
bicycle game? Whoever put it into
IS. o. & Co.." head that this pair
c'assed with the first fifteen riders
of the world? Here's to Kramer. the
best advertisement for Cast ORANGE
Nav he lone make those pikers look
like washwomem
You are correct in giving Weinert
so much praise, for we had occa ion
to witness his creditabIe perform
nee in IS last bout. He surely por-
trayed clever FIGHTING and rare OK
ing ability in that fight. Sincerely
thine,
FRENCHY CORPORATION.
Lehrhoff vas voted to be the best
player amcag the high schoolboys
around here" McDermit is a prep
school student. and Rutherford is not
considered around here" rs. o &
Co." have perfect right to class
Mcretti and Verri wherever they be-
lieve these riders belong. That you
J do not agree with them doesn't make
them wrong, by any means. Kind
words for Kramer are always in
order He is one of the greatest ath-
: letes in the world Weinert Is the
coming man. He can box and he can
/ fight. and he will put Jersey in the
pugilistic limelight some day.
The manager of the Bernardsville
basketball team takes local team
that did not keep its appointment to
task In the following few weil-chosen
remarks:
Bernardsvilie, Feb. 20.
J.P. N:
| j had :. game of basketball ar
ranged with the Bay View Separates,
of Newark, of which John Drehr is
the manager, which was to be played
on the eighteenth and on the seven
| teenth I received a card from the
manager stating that the team would
| be here, but the Separates never
showed UP and never telephoned or
anything. Now it is two days and
we have not heard a word and
think it is dirty trick after having
a big crowd out for good game and
a dance.
| All the boys that read your paper
think You ought to show them up in
your Sporting Topics" Whether
the Separates got scared or not
don't know. s CORRADO,
! Manager A. B. C. Club.
All you say about the Separates,
ie what you relate is true. is well-de-
served, only you might multiply it
by two and add the distance In mile
age from Newark to Bernardsville
and return.
There are always a few friends to
make life worth living. Reference is
made to the following letter.

In regard to the East-Side- Central
game of last week, j. H. opines as
follows:
j. p. NJ:
In the recent East Side-Central
game 1 found 1t to be, to my sur
prise, one of the most interesting
games of the season. The East Side
lads played wonderful ball In both
passing and shooting. Had 1t not
been fer the harsh decisions of Ref
cree Maloney the East Siders would
have been victorious.
During the first half Maloney
awarded the Centralites four unde-
i served points. The referee claimed
