I hope the rule is passed by the com

I have beaten Gunboat Smith, Cof

other good men, and had decisions

Under ordinary circumstances this

Williams was at all times the mas

_A___________
With the weather propitious for
i the occasion, the biggest crowd of the
season Is expected at the Peps’
grounds tomorrow to witness the
double header, in which the New
feds will make a strenuous effort to
defeat the Pittsburgh Rebels. It is
the desire of Messrs. Sinclair and
Powers, the owners, to break the
record for the season’s attendance,
and everything points that way. The
Peps are surely deserving of all the
encouragement in the world, for they
are playing championship ball. Man
ager Bill McKechnie is also entitled
to a few cheers, for he has certainly
handled the team like a Napoieon
ever since he has taken charge of the
boys. It is very pleasing to Mr.
Powers that McKechnie has done
well, for it was the genial P. T. who
selected Bill unaided or unabetted.
It was a fine stroke of judgment, and
Mr. Powers enjoys anything nice said
about McKechnie as much as Bill
could possibly enjoy it himself.
All the big moguls of the Federal
Leaguo will be at the Peps’ park for
the double bill, and Mr. Powers ex
pects to show them the record gather
ing of the season. President Gilmore
will be on hand, viewing the vast
crowd with the happy thought that
the Federal League was first to in
augurate popular prices. Mr. Sin
clair will be there, delighted to know
that Newark was the first city to give
big league baseball for fifty cents,
and now that the Newark fans have
rallied to the support of his club he
will make the effort of his career to
give them the very best there is in
baseball. It will be a big day in
Newark tomorrow, and all good citi
zens, girls and boys, who can spare
the time and the change should make
it their business to be there.
The Peps deserve support, and so do
Messrs. Sinclair and Powers, because
these men have given us a brand of
baseball that has boomed our city
and put us on the map throughout
the country. As leaders of the Fed
eral League, our ball team is known
everywhere, and as a result Newark
Is receiving advertising it could never
MANAGER HIM. M'KECHNIE.
hope to pay for, and could never com
mand In any other way. Only the
other day a traveling man told me
he had heard more about Newark In
the last four months through the
Peps than he had ever heard In his
twenty years of business on the road.
It Is true, too. and you can hear the
same thing on all sides If you only
happen to meet those who travel
much. The Feds have boomed New
ark.
_
The Peps look very formidable as
pennant winners, but they have a
hard fight on their hands. The present
series with the Rebels is an impor
tant one, and the fans should put
their shoulders to the wheel and help
all they can. We are only six points
ahead of Mr. Rebel Oakes and bis
Rebels, and we have three more
games to play with them during the
present series We have already won
one game, and with Karl Moseley in
the pitcher’s box today we ought to
win another. The double-header to
morrow will be hard sledding, and
McKechnle will have to do some tall
thinking in selecting his pitchers. It
may be that Bill will send Tom Sea
ton Into the fray and It may be that
he won’t. If Seaton Is In shape he
would he the man, but that is a ques
tion for Tom to answer and .McKech
nie to decide. Harry Moran Is over
due, but both Kaiserling and Reul
bach have taken their turns regular
ly and have delivered the goods. Reul
baeh is pitching wonderful ball, and If
It Is not too much for him, after bis
hard game on Thursday, we might
see him in the box again tomorrow.
Pittsburgh, In second place, will
give the Peps an awful battle every
inch of the way. This series may
mean the championship and every
game counts big We got the jump
on the Rebels, and with Moseley
pitching today it ought to be another
sure victory for us. If Seaton Is
there with the goods he should beat
Pittsburgh, for Tom has no superior
in the business when he is right. The
fans will want to see Seaton perform,
and perhaps It would be a wise move
to work the new acquisition. Man
ager McKeehnle will know what is
best when the time conies. We want
the PepB to win, and fans should turn
out in droves and give them a royal
send-off. Mr. Powers Is looking anx
iously for that record crowd. New
ark holds one record already—the
record for opening day crowds—and
the gathering tomorrow should be as
large as that, which was 26,500 per
sons.
—o—
A baseball fan writes that the pop
ular prices now prevailing will do
more for the game than anything
A BLUE RIBBON EVENT
else. He says:
IJ. P. N.:
j I am inclosing a little cartoon,
clipped from a Buffalo paper of last
| Sunday, Just what one I do not know,
hut think it was the Buffalo Sunday
Times. I think ten-cent baseball will
do more for the game than anything
else that has shown up in recent
years. For proof, just notice the
crowds that flock to the grounds
daily. As soon as improvements are
made with the bridge, etc., it is a sure
bet that the stands will have to be
enlarged.
In order to Influence the players
into showing their best form there
must be a large crowd on hand. One
of the leading players on the Tigers
told me, Just before leaving the city
to play at Harrisburg, that the play
ers refused to play in their true form
because of the small crowds attend
ing the games. He admitted outright
that the Feds were putting up a
much more interesting game than the
Tigei's because they had everything
to make up a good team. He ex
plained that he was the only one that
ever talked to an outsider in favor
of the Federal Eeague. Hoping you
will keep up your good work in hold
ing the Peps in Newark, I remain,
Yours,
JOHN E. BEER. ,
Right you are, and we will have
baseball at popular prices in the
other twm big leagues some day.
A great crowd is expected out
to witness tlie Ironsides and the
Meadowbrooks play tomorrow morn
ing. It should be a most interesting
game, and the rivalry between the
teams has stirred up enthusiasm in
semi-pro baseball. It is hoped that
the teams will be able to decide their
superiority without any recourse to
wrangling or outside interference, and
it would be well for the partisans to
remember that there are always two
sides to a story—two views of a play.
Though keen rivals, the teams will
get along all right if allowed to set
tle their own differences. The fans
should not interfere, not even if they
belong to the family. It might also
be remembered that umpires are only
human, and no claim has even been
made that Messrs. McTague and Beck
are perfect. These gentlemen will
officiate at the game tomorrow and
they will probably make some mis
takes. Before voicing their decision
those who are first to knock should
tigure up their own batting averago
of perfection
Organized baseball is not helping
the sport any by the manner In
which the various clubs with a
chance In the National League and
the American League are trying to
buy their way into the world’s
series. Chicago, Detroit and Bos
ton, In the American League, have
robbed other clubs to strengthen
their own, and there have been shifts
made In the National League.
Maybe It Is all right, but If it Isn’t
the O. B.’s will not be able to blame
it onto the Feds.
The Chicago White Sox are playing
the hog, indeed. Their latest move
has been to secure Joe Jackson, of
Cleveland. Jackson is a star player,
and he wns about the only man
with Cleveland in whom the fans
were interested. Now that he has
been sold Cleveland might as well
close Its gates.
o
Tom Jones, who does the mana
gerial business for Jess Willard, the
world's champion, is either a very
wise man or a very lucky one. During
1i1b career he haB been the advisor of
three champions. He used to manage
Hilly Papke and Ad Wolgast, and now
he has Willard. Papke wasn’t much
of a champion, but Jones got a bundle
of money with Wolgast, whom, he
says, Is the richest pugilist in the
world. Willard, though, promises to

be a great money-maker. Jones said
that the very smallest sum Jess has
taken down since joining "101 Ranch”
was $1,200 a day, and I guess that is
so. Willard receives 25 per cent, of
the gross up to a certain amount.
When the show draws more than that
stated aum he gets in on a 50 per
cent, basis. The show is drawing big
crowds, and Willard, they say, Is do
ing it. "The Ranch” was about to
suspend operations when Willard
joined it. Since then it has been a
mint. Jess will stick to the cowboy
stunt until November 1, though he
may show down South all winter.
While Willard Is now working as
a cowboy he hasn’t lost track of the
fact that he is a pugulist and a
champion at that. Critlsim has been
leveled at Jess because he hasn’t
made any matches since winning his
title, but the big fellow says it is
not up to him to issue any challenges
and that he stands ready to defend
his honors against any man In the
world.
"Just let some promoter come along
and offer me a reasonable purse to
fight any man In the world," Willard
said to me during his show day here,
"and I’ll take him up so quickly that
It will make his hair stand on end.
Why, bless your soul, man,” this big
fellow went on to say, "no one has
ever breathed about a fight to me
since my victory over Jack Johnson.
All I’ve e\ er heard said about some
body wanting to fight me has been
in newspapers. A whole lot has been
written about Jim Coffey and Frank
Moran meeting me. Wish one of
those wise men who say such things
would only put up a purse for a
match. I’m ready to fight any time.
The show business is a side Issue.”
It Isn't likely that Willard will go
Into the ring for months yet. There
is no one to meet him. Coffey, who
would be the best attraction, Is
matched to fight Moran and the
winner of that battle will probably
get Willard for a bout in December
sometime. In the meantime Jess will
go along In the show business. When
he quits "The Ranch" he will prob
ably secure a vaudeville engagement.
■ o—
The Coffey-Moran fight, by the way,
promises to he a great affair. It will
surely stir up all kinds of Interest,
for it looks as if there would be a
decisive winner. It may be, too, that
a decision will he given, and that
would add greatly to the Interest In
the match. Coffey has a larger fol
lowing than any man In the business
and it is claimed that this fight will
draw more money at the gate than
the McFarland-Gibbons bout.
Interest in the McFarland-Glbbons
content seems to be keeping up,
though some pretty wise men around
town seem to think that it will not
draw b.b big as the promoters think
it will. There Is talk of having 10,0t)0
seats at $1 and 15,000 scats at $2. The
question is where will those fans come
from? It is contended that there
are not 25,000 fight fans In and near
New York, and that that many per
sons have never attended any of the
big bouts around here. A big crowd
at a fight Is about 8,000 persons, so
it Is said, and the promoters will have
to make thousands of new fans if
they hope to fill their mammoth
arena.
—Q—
Seats for $1 and 82 are not the only
seats to be had to see McFarland
and Gibbons perform. There will be
all kinds of reservations, and those
who wish may pay as high as $10.
The McFarland-Gibbons fight should
be a success, for the men behind the
guns are surely hustlers. The press
work so far sent out is a dream and
the affair will not lack publicity. For
instance, one notice Bays that Mc
Farland is curious to know how his
hands will stand the rough work he
Intends to give them during the next
three weeks of his training. Packey
evidently does not propose to nurse
his hands when he squares off
against the St. Louis boxer, for his

place* and the confidence that they

he plants his punches on various

says, "and only twice have they been

i'ork they were sore and swollen,
in both matches I punched pretty

have ever bad. While I don't expect
to injure my hands on my sparring
partners I am not going to ‘puli’ my
punches on. them, for I want to feel
quite sure that my hands will not go
back on me in the tight."
Them you have McFarland’s views
on hand culture. Now we will see
what Gibbons has to say.
News about Mike comes by way of
St. Paul. It says that Gibbons is in
the midst of his training preparations
for his bout with McFarland. After
returning from Chicago, where the
details of the match were arranged
two weeks ago, Mike started to work
Immediately. Gibbons takes excep
tion to the general opinion that the
weight will weaken him. At 147
pounds ringside be declares he will
be faster and stronger than ever.
In his last bout Mike scaled 152
pounds. He figures on making the
weight for McFarland with little diffi
culty. As a matter of fact, his work
during the past fortnight has only
taken two pounds off. At present
Mike is going along easily doing little
more than keeping himself in con
dition. He proposes to do his hardest
work during the last two weeks be
fore the match. His dally training
program now is to take a five-mile
run every morning with his brother
Tom. In the afternoon he boxes from
five to eight rounds, three rounds
with his brother and a round or two
each with several other boys. Gib
bons will break camp the latter part
of next week and head for New York,
as his articles of agreement stipulate
that he must be In the metropolis by
September 1 and finish training there.
As yet, Mike has not engaged train
ing quarters in New York. He will
probably hold forth at the new Polo
A. A., where he has prepared himself
for the majority of his fights in the
big city.
Every day since the match has been
made something new has come from
the training quarters of the lighters,
and the expert who is doing the work
certainly knows his business. The
wise move, though, was to compel the
gladiators to finish their training in
New York. Then all the sporting
writers will get busy and In their own
various styles keep the public posted
about the battlers. Then the real in
terest will be shown.
The Savage-Weinert fight is looked
| upon as a grudge affair and from the
way Bill Wellman, of the Garden A:
C., Is advertising the match one would
think that Savage and Welnert were
going to eat each other up. The
poster announcing the contest repre
sents Savage and Welnert as fero
cious canines and by permission of
Manager Wellman the "battle” is
reproduced in these columns today.
The reader will readily observe that
Savage is given the top position with
a neck hold, though Welnert has a
very effective leg hold. It is true that
there is much bitterness in the match,
though Welnert says he hasn't a thing
in the world against Savage. On top
of that remark he also says though
that he "expects to knock Jim’s block
ofT.” Savage makes no bones of what
he contemplates doing to Welnert.
He is going to Jab him dizzy with
his left hand and he Is going to knock
him into complete submission with
his right hand. The bulldogs, we
would say, pretty fairly represent the
feelings of these two noble gladiators.
It would be a shame to keep them
apart and it would be a double shame
for those who have followed tho argu
ments of the men during the past
year or so to miss the battle. Inci
dentally, those who wish, may secure
their tickets for the Savage-Weinert
fight right here In Newark. Billy
Kelly, 154 Market street, will have
the various priced tickets on sale by
Monday, surely, and Manager Well
man said he might have them over
here sometime today. The prices will
range from |1 to $5, and Mr. Kelly
will have a number of each kind. For
all big fights In the Garden in the
future Mr. Kelly will handle the
tickets for the Newark patrons.
Maurice McLoughlin meets R. Nor
ris 'Williams In a tennis match again
today, and the outcome will be await
ed with Intense Interest. McLough
lln, though looked upon as the world's
greatest expert, has met defeat at
the hands of Williams several times.
He has beaten the kid, of course, but
"Mac” has lost a sufficient number of
important matches to make him feel
uncomfortable whenever he is billed
to play Williams, who is the next
best man to him without a doubt.
The Essex Printers' Club is holding
its annual outing and athletic carni
val today and politicians and big
citizens in various walks of life will
be there. President Charley Smith
has done a lot of hard work and he
has accomplished much. Perhaps Mr.
Smith might not object to a berth on
one of the party tickets. If not, then
he would make an ideal campaign
manager.

An ardent admirer of Alf Goullet
addresses an open letter to the Aus
tralian, as follows:
J. P. N.:
Kindly publish in your columns the
enclosed letter, addressed to Alfred
Goullet. R. A. H.
"Dear- Goullie—In regards to your
interview in the Evening Star of
Tuesday, August 1", I fully agree
with you. You say that Grenda and
yourself are in like ‘burglars,’ and I
am sorry to admit this is true. It
is not your fault, though, as many
other fans will agree, but the fault
of the management. The manage
ment could not stand by you and see
you beat their one and only Kramer,
so I guess the ’Drome people had It
fixed up with the press agent, so as
to give you all the knocks possible.
For instance, the stuff they pulled off
on you in saying an Australian was
trying to rob an American is, to my
mind, absurd. In my opinion, Man
ager Chapman, Referee Valentine and
the Judges are the ones who are
doing the ‘robbing,’ or Kramer and
his accomplices, as your rooters call
them.
"You then go on to say that you
are not very popular, and that you

have not many friends, but I can as
sure you that the few you have are
the ones who understand the bike
game and know a man when they see
one. I am very proud to say that
we are mostly all Britishers, and you
know- well how a Britisher will stand
by his countryman. As for hissing
and booing, I do not think you should
pay attention to it In the future, be
cause a number of the fans at the
Velodrome are like a flock of sheep
One ‘wise* fellow', who thinks he
knows it all, will start hissing and
booing, and the bunch around him
do likewise.
When you spoke of Kramer, I think
you would have done yourself more
justice by saying that he can get
away with the nearest thing to 'mur
der,’ for nobody but you knows, what
those close rides and switches are. As
the old saying goes, however, It Is
always P'rank L. Kramer. I wish
you the greatest success. R. A. H.”
No chance now of beating Kramer,
a fan writes, and tells of the hard
ships of Goullet as follows:
J. P. N.:
It certainly looks as if the manage
ment's aim in regard to the cham
pionship is going to pan out satisfac
torily, as Kramer is now only two
points behind Goullet. They said in
the earlier stages of the championship
races that “Goullie” won several
points by teaming. Well, if that is
the case, to get even he is certainly
being robbed of his just desserts by
being obliged to be matched with
Kramer, where he hardly has a
chance to beat “Old Steve.” It would
seem to me if Kramer had been the
“game sport” that he should have
been he would have refused to ride
under a change of rules where the
management merely hands him the
"championship,” as you might say,
on a silver platter.
Would further say I noticed in one
of the recent issues of the Evening
Star a picture of "Smiling Frank L.
Kramer.” Would suggest that one be
printed of him as he looks just after
being defeated in a race by his most
hated rival, Alfred Goullet.
