can do it.
IMPARTIAL FIGHT FAN.
To begin with, as you say, you are
absolutely impartial and positively
fair-and We will not waste words in
discussing your platform But, as to
the censure, there is more back of the
expose than appears on the surface.
, 1t might be we'll to inform you that
the expose was brought about because
insisted on publishing the statement
after Weinert had produced it to pro-
tect his friend, the crap-shooter, and
to prove to me that the crap-shooter
was more honest man than Percy.
Another thing, Mr.. Fair Man, people
are known by the company they keep,
and some of the company that are
making themselves busy in the boxing
game around here will have to make
themselves scarce or the sport will be
the sufferer. As you suggest Justice
will be done" but the first thing to do
is to clean house. If Eddie Wood, the
manager of the Olympic a. c.; Hugh
Boyle. the matchmaker of the Bay
View Wheelmen, and Gus Troxler. the
owner of the Central Institute, will
only observe strict censorship the
boxing game in this vicinity will go
on and prosper. If not, the authori-
ties will have to take a finger in the
pie. In closing, ] will say, if you are
not Weinert's first cousin, you are at
least Woodruffs arch enemy.
a funny man has broken loose and
his rawlings are herewith presented:
j. p. NJ;
It's shame All that "moun-
tain and posing stuff gone to
waste. Columns and columns of the
best sporting page in the country
sportsman proves to be a 'faker,'
"double-crossing'' you and then plan
ming to "double-cross" Weinert. It's
a shame and death blow to boxing
in this city. You're the goat and
You should not spare either one with
your editorial pen. AS Shakespeare
said: "Szpodu burdeo szkudo!'

So you're here again. Frank. Well,
well. you must be a sport-a fight
fan and bike fan. As everything,
in your opinion, is dishonest, it must
please you highly, the expose of the

right on the job. Your favorite
magazine didn't become familiar with
the situation until after it's last edi-
ton had been partly printed. The |
observed, has been most convenient
source of news for other publications.
We hate to talk about others, but
have you noticed the drop in circula-
ton hereabouts recently? You are
mistaken about goats" and If you'll
make inquiry you'll discover just
where the angoras are grazing. As
J. p. N. would say, "Hak-a-mak-
lum -dadi!"
A letter from Banty Lewis, setting
forth his side of discussion over a
match with Mickey Donley, was re-
ceived too late for publication. 1t
will be printed in the Evening Star
tomorrow.

On top of the defeat of Gunboat
Smith by Sam Langford in Boston
last night comes well-told story
that the previous Langford-Smith
fight in the same city some time ago
was fake. 1t is said that Langford
didn't try a lick in the last bout, and
it is believed he "double-crossed''
Smith last night. In the light of his
prospects, it seems peculiar that
Smith should take chance against
Langford. Sam hasn't been getting
many bouts of late and he hasn't been
drawing down much dough. 1t Is pre-
sumed that he simply refused to be
whipped when a victory would put
him back In the limelight Smith
will now have his own troubles re-
gaining the lost prestige caused by
his defeat. He will probably be will
ing to fight anybody, even Charley
weinert, without demanding $4,000
for his end of the purse. His proposed
bout with Jack Johnson has been
crimped entirely, but he may get on
with Jess willard. Poor Smith. He
was almost at the top when he fell

The Army-Navy football game Is
getting to be regular Finnegan
affair. The latest information, said to
be official, has the teams playing at
Franklin Field, Philadelphia, on No
vember 2S. In years to follow, for
FIVE at least, the Cadets and the Mid
dies will alternate between the Polo
Grounds and Franklin Field. This
will he good news, for the Army Navy
game was one of the real gridiron
treats of the season.

| The Rutgers Tufts game at VIE
denmayer's Park next Saturday will
give Newarkers an opportunity to see
the best there is in football. Both coll
ieges have gridiron elevens that
could give interesting battle to any
! one of the big Six The game should
go big in Newark, and if the support
is promising at all Rutgers will play
other games here.
