Tho matter is being thoroughly inves-
tfgated, and the guilty party will be
taken to task II he can only be iden-
tified. You have made the complaint:
now 1t Is up to you to see that Justice
Is done.
Smoke Miller is with us again, but
his writings are on an offside track.
He is as clear as crystal to me, and
l hops none of my readers misunder-
stand him. He says:
j. p. NJ:
Well, Joe, I guess you are wander
ing where / am and | guess all me
friends are anxious to hear from me,
but I've been busy, Joe, guy like
me Is got 80 much on his minde. /
only saw your paper once or twice
lately but I've been reading all the
Big Town sporting sheets and that's
what / want to talk to you about.
Maybe you don't get all the big town
papers over there In Jersey. L used
to think your sporting page was
about the best thing of it's kind in
the country, but since I've been read
| lIlR LHb DtSL bSllSIS l. SEC Wuol SoN
are far behinde the times and like
the good old pail I am, Joe, I am GO
ing to put you WISE l know you will
appreciate it and will see the point
at once. Joe, you're too old fash
ioned. You hand out a boost where
q knock would do as well; you ac-
tualy seem to think there are some
ball players who can play ball; fight
ers who can fight. You have been
| AL s,tI rxyttI1 ft1a a o.
nets and you actually seem to think
there are some promoters on the
: level. Where do you get that stuff,
} Joe?
Just take q glance at one of the
papers I've been raveing about and
see IL you can find anything like that.
For instance If Jonny Howard and
| Charley Wienert were going to meet
at the Broadway Club you would an
nounce it in dry matter OF fact
way and say II would probably be a
good scrap. Just news and cold
Il facts no humor or originality. How
much better 1t would sound II you
: used the UP to date method as:
Johnny Howard, of Bayonne, and
| Charley Wienert of Orange will en-
tertain at the next show of the
Broadway Sporting Club In a new
, sketch especially written for them by
t Mr.. and Mrs Vernon Castele. Wien
ert and Howard might not deserve II,
, but what do you care-lt SOUNDS
good.
: You may think that your readers
! would not continue to buy the Star
for the sake of reading your page
(which many of them do) If you wrote
? like this. but your boss could easily
4 fix that by hireing half dozen OF
. the most expensive cartoondsts In the
> country who would make page that
would sell the paper and you could
9 still keep your stuff before the pup.
Z lie and no one could get back at you
= unless they wrote TO ahotner ihai
like ]. P. N.
This is a great system, Joe, and
r you had better think 1t over. Yor
\ can take a slam at anybody this way
= and after vol, have handed something
to everyone In town you can dig uI
;. poor old Bill Squires and b. Wells
/. OF course, there are none around her'
> interested In either Of those men bu
what does the up to date sport wrifel
: care for that.
4 oh another thing, Joe. You don
!. have to be man enough to sign you
. own name to this stuff you coult
y sien Left Field or somthing like that
= B,It I suppose you will say you woul'
a be ashamed to earn your ltvini
: knocking others. Well, you Away
Il was a funny guy, anyhow. I'm goinl
o to write you a long letter as soon a.
d git time, but now SO % long; -,
