my job, Pal Maybe it will give you a
II useful slant on your own job. Every
day I receive dozens of letters. These let
tiers come from all sorts of people. in all
sort of places-from as wide a radius as
newspapers cover. The letters are usually
long. It has taken time to write them and
money to stamp them. Now, you would
naturally suppose that such letters from
total stranger to total stranger would at
least denote friendly interest. IF SO, YOU
would suppose wrong
A good percentage Of these letters are
written for the sole purpose of covering
large pages with the verbal sweat of honest
hate. Never has the English language
worked harder than it does in trying to tell

Pro" Golfers Not

New York. March 22.-Professional
golfers seen about town the other
day were unanimous in the belief
that nothin.. would be gained by
changing the size and weight Of the

Golfers do not want TO get less dis

Epinard Withdrawn
From Big Race

London. March 22.-Epinard has
been struck out of the Lincolnshire
handicap and so ends the uncertainty
which has lately kept the colts name
much to the front. II may be as
sumed that NJ. Wertheimer's decision
to take the colt out Of the race is
due TO the hard weather which has
lately been experienced in the dis
triet In which he is trained. For more
than week Eugene Leigh has been
unable to give Epinard any strong
work, owing to frost in the ground.
and 1t is now realized that there
could be no chance of getting the
colt into racing condition by the time
OF the opening Of the English sea
son.
No substantial amount OF money
Will be lost here by the scratching
OF Epinard. for II was recognized
from the first that his appearance
at Lincoln was very questionable. Al.
though at one time he was nominally
favorite for the race. only very ven.
turesome folks took the odds offered.

POUND OF FLESH AIDS GOLDSTElN
IN WINNING BANTAMWEIGHT TITLE
IN IS ROUNDS FROM JOE. LYNCH

Lynch nor depreciation OF Goldstein.
1t is Just a statement of fact. Con.
trary to his usual department. Abe
fought almost with effrontery last
night, foring matters from first TO
last. 1t was his greatest effort In
five years of ring appearance and ap-
propriately enough it gained him the
highest honors within the gift of his
division. What might have happened
had Lynch been able to make the
bantam-weight limit of 11s pounds
with? ease and facility il an.

Suffice it to say that Lynch was
a full pound overweight when, min
us lunch, he got on the scares at
. o'clock yesterday. Enter here with
stealth and a bright idea Willie
Lewis. who is not only the manager
of GOIdstein but so smart in n fistic
sense as to be almost unpleasant
about it.

quoth William. Come back in two
hours and weigh again.
The forfeit amounted to 81 $50 1t
Is barely possible Mr. Lewis figured
Lynch would be worth more to him.
lewis, than paltry. sordid dollars.
Anyway Joe Lynch walked, ran.
starved, and was subjected to the
weakening process of a dry rub for
two hours in order to make weight.
Just what this effort took away
from the fighter only Lynch himself
can know. After the bout. the former
champion was quoted as saying that
never again would be fight in the
bentamwelght class.
We don't know as we blame him.
II may be that Lynch is through
anyhow. 1t may have been that he
couldn't have beaten Goldsfein last
night in any case, for Abe fought
like champion to the manner born.
But only weakened Lynch could
have lost II out Of Is rounds, been
saved by the bell in the second and
ninth and failed I'm the tenth to
follow up a right cross that brought
Goldstein to his level and victory
for brief moment within reach.
