Editorial Comment
Gardiner and Its Charter
Lewiston Journall


Gardiner this coming September
will decide whether the commission
form Of government will be continued.
For the electorate will vote on the
adoption of a new charter which
would provide for representation in
the city council from the different
wards. making up a board of mayor
and six aldermen.
The most interesting fact about
this election is that its being held
marks reversal of the trend to-
ward the commission form of gov
eminent which is being strongly ad-
vocated all through the cities Of the
country and which has been adopted
by considerable number of them.
Gardiner has had it's commission
official for some years-we forget
just how many. There has been, at
all times, more or less opposition, as
is the case in Auburn, where the

Here's letter from an old pal,
Look it over.
Dear Tad
From time to time ! read your
interesting stories with pictures
telling of the prowess and popu-
larity of fighters who were cham
pions or near champions fifteen OF
twenty. years ago. All that is Wrlt-
ten makes good reading and is very
enjoyable especially to those OF US
who saw the old-timers in action
These stories and pictures brng
back memories Of the thrilling ring
battles and also the interesting
sidelights. The comparisons OF
the leaders in each division with
those who are at the top today are
replete with genuine interest.
I happen to be one of the old
time lovers of boxing who was a
regular attendant at the old Broad
way A. c., the Coney Island A. c.,
the Pelican, the Greenwood, and
the Old Hercules. saw them all,
including the famous Kid Carter,
tommy WSACs Dill L1dH1 eA1A1 Lay
and Spike Sullivan, George Cole,
Tommy Feltz and others.
Yours, "a FIGHT FAN"
The other day, while riding in
the subway / saw Joe Bernstein
Of course, he is old as fighters go,
but he looked to me the same as ne

Three draws with Dave Sullivan,

Kid Broad, that wonderful twenty
five round affair with Terry Nc
Govern, and before that the go with
George Dixon and his great battles

gamest a man could possibly be:
He had following, too. He packed

erased. 1t makes Robertson a
pitcher of drawing powers until
such time as he is shown to be
"a bloomer.
Without knowing the pitchers
salary in 1922, or caring much
about it, either, for that matter,
we do think it must have been
a hard blow to his pride, if moth
ing more, to receive an increase
OF 500 for 1923. Over a season
OF six months, this increase would
be $16.66 a month.
Robertson is shrieking to the
skies. He is talking of jumping
to the outlaws in Kenosha, Wis.
He is probably hoping that Com
lskey will take fright and send
him a new contract. Robertson
apparently never heard of Dick
Kerr.
Before the squabble goes too
far, to the injury. of both player
and ball club, some diplomacy
should be used by those concerned.
Robertson is too good a pitcher to
be driven into the ranks of the
outlaws. The White Sox, already
shaping up as contenders for 1923,
need Robertson.
1t will be sheer folly for Com
iskey to be as stubborn in this
matter as he was in the last, just
as it it is sheer folly for Robert
son to jump to the outlaws, as did
Dick Kerr.
