After the big event there was much
comparison talk. jackson was given
due credit, but the leading authori-
ties seem to think that jackson could
not beat John Paul Jones. That is
the opin on, but there seems no way
to prove it, In VIII CHI event Jackson
having beaten Jones, the Engl shnan
should have the call until he fails to
make good.
The writer of the following letter
| calls attention to the fact that New
ark is some sport town:
j. p. NJ.
| This great metropolis labors under
excitement all the time. The train OF
| sport events are such that ones head
is always in a whirl trying to follow
| 1t. First the Newarks begin their
| struggle to capture the pennant, then
our renowned cyclist, Kramer, comes
in from abroad, and now the bout be-
! tween Mahon and Lewis captiyates
| the attention of the fight fans. The
| proposed fight has created such local
| interest. | have devoted a little OF
my spare time and idle moments try
ing to figure out the winner, but 1t is
q hard matter to settle. Tuesday night
will. Irish Mahon is a wonderful lit
tie boy. I have seen him daily in
training and he looms up very well,
and he might upset my mental cal
culations. Banty also looms up well,
| but he has one asset that will turn
the tide in his neutrality-suspicious.
So, may l predict that If the bout
goes beyond six rounds Banty will
win the laurels. But on the whole,
the bout should be an extremely In
teresting one and may the best man
win. 1 was gratifreu to learn that
| Patsy Kline has put himself under
the management of the capable Dick
Curley. A prize fighters assets are
a good manager and good press
agent, and Patsy is now not lacking
in either. Henceforth we will see
Patsy matched with good boys. AS
ever, SPORTIUS.
Right you are about the train of
sports" but some of us manage to
keep up with the "fier." The Tigers
are out in 'front.' the Kramer dinner
was a huge success, the Lewis Mahon
fight should be corker, and Kline
is again on the job. All of which,
we might add, tends to give our city
some attention In the world in gen.
eral.

Are married men who have families
depending on them barred from SER
vice IN the National Guard of New
Jersey? INTERESTED.
No, married men with families de-
pending on them are not barred from
service in the National Guard. I
suppose you are referring to what
rule would cover this case in war
time. In case the New Jersey Ma
tional Guard were ordered out, the
Governor of the State would issue
the order for the Guard to mobilize.
This they would do, and SEA u =
would probably be selected for the
encampment Then, if the men were
needed in the act We service as part
of the regular army they could either
, so to the front or stay at home, just
as they pleased. 1t would be really
in the way of re-enlistment.

9 When a spy is shot are all of the
guns of the soldiers loaded? A says
0 they are, while b contends that only
t one gun of those used by the detach-
4 ment is loaded and that the rest have
blank cartridges in them. T. l..
Under military law a spy, in the
time of warfare, is usually put to
3 death by hanging. In case the spy is
ordered to be shot it is the custom to
= have some of the guns used in the ex-
n I'ccution loaded with blank cartridges,
t in order that no soldier can say that he
> killed the spy. Just how many would
: be loaded with blank cartridges would
: depend on the orders of the officer in
e charge of the execution.
