there"
With but one or two exceptions, The
players on the Ironsides have beer
teaming 1t for years. 1t will be g
shock to some of them when they
hear the news.

The Astor cup auto race at the
Sheepshead Bay Speedway meet Sat
urday is expected to attract a crowd
of some 10000 persons, and 1t will
surely be the biggest sprinting event
ever held in the East. The interna-
tional polo matches were monster af-
fairs, and the worlds series baseball
games are big in every way. The
auto race, however, will break all
records for crowds and at prices that
bear no evidence of hard times being
upon us.

The football experts who witnessed
the Princeton- Georgetown game
have paid high tribute to the playing
of Andy Dempsey, the Newark boy.
Dempsey seems to have the "mak-
ings," as the boys say, and he will
undoubtedly become a star of the
grtdiron. He has great speed and is
built on football lines. He has a
sure toe and a good head and he
does not lack in confidence. The
schoolboys around town and others,
too, are pleased at the grand showing
made by the former Barringer High
student. Principal Stearns and Coach
Broadhead are among Andy's most
earnest rootefs.

Princeton, on her early form, has
nothing to be desired She played a
steady, safe game against George
town and she didn't press matters
any. The victory was matter of
superior football and the Tigers pro-
duced material that is sure to shine
before the schedule is out.

OF all the big college elevens, Yale,
perhaps, made the best showing. The
Ellis are to be more than formidable
this season. They are gigantic.
Harvard's game was Just ordinary
The Crimson team didn't surprise nor
disappoint any. Harvard Is not as
good as last year is the belief, while
Yale and Princeton are both better.

Barringer, for her first game,
showed strength on Saturday against
Phillipsburg High School. 1t might
be that Barringer was little weak
on the defensive, though perhaps it
was Philllpsburg that displayed
superior strength at critical periods.
However, Barringer looked good as a
and she ought to be able to
take care of herself In her schedule

This is to be g. big year for basket
ball. and It is even feared that the
sport will be overdone. Well con-
Quoted, basketball is an enjoyable
pastime and it is hoped that the pro-
fessional promoters will not kill 1t
as they did in years gone by. There
are sufficient players to go around
so much doubling up, and it
might be a good plan to select a
stellar aggregation to represent this
city against outside teams.

Jay Eaton has something to say to
the bike fans and talks right to the
point. Listen to Jay;
]. p. NJ:
To "A. g." / wish to extend my thanks
for the nice things he wrote In his letter
to the Evening Star on Saturday about
me, but l am afraid the time is not ripe
for me to be in control of the cycle situa-
ton. | am as sure, however, as l am
this is the city of Newark, that the time
will come when l will prove. to all that
handled. l did think so two years ago
this summer, when Chapman tried to bar
me from open competition and gave me
'the gate" because ! demanded the right
to start In race. Yes, L know the reason
was not wanted around. 1t was be-
cause | was the only man not afraid to
express my sentiments and beliefs, anu
because l had the nerve to tell him that
his purses were too small and that the
races for the second string riders were
too few. Chapman could never stand any
one around who had a mind and will. /
did think 80 then, when l was able to
take fifty out OF possible sixty ANA
teurs and twenty eight out of the possible
thirty-five professionals with me anu
launch so-called outlaw movement
across the street. But we were not out
laws. We were trying something that
have always since the world began--to
better our conditions. And we were win
ming out against all odds. Yes, the stars
would have been with us, too, If they
could have broken their bonus contracts,
for they were with us in their hearts.
l did think when we secured control OF
the six-day race and consequently the
whole situation, that l had won and
would be able to put the cycle game on an
honest, open, above board sport PROPOSE
tion. But when Fred Hill was one of our
star riders, he became peeved be-
cause l would not allow his brother
In law In the same training room vita
him, and he put on his clothes and left
the track, after being billed to. ride a
match race that day. X. deb. Newman,
who was in control of the box office re-
celpts, became frightened and sent for
Hill. Newman told me that should
have allowed his brother in law with him,
which was against my rules. told New
man that was either manager or moth
ing, and that If Fred Hill was president
of the United States, 1t would not make
any difference to me. If he was so small
and unprincipled as to act In that way,
1t was the right time to show him and
the others that they could not do as they
pleased. / told Newman then that the
best thing to do would be to fine Hill for
his conduct. 1 also told Mr.. Uppercu that
when they interfered with me, / had no
chance to gain the respect of the riders
or in any way handle the situation. l am
for the riders aud always have been, but
they must be ruled with a rod OF steel at
times. Mr.. Uppercu is very fine man,
and 1 respect him very highly, but / will
not be satisfied until have proven to him
and that he was too quick to listen to a
onunla of knockere SO Won see. when
