The lnter-city correspondence be

of Parks and Public Property of Jersey
City,. manager of their champien:
"Buster Rech's claim te marble
hooting championship of America is

pions 'of comparatively small cities.
A national champion can be determined
only after competition in a national
championship tournament such as will

entry is In my hands by Friday neon.
It wlll'net be accepted, and it will be
his lej te remain the obscure champion

This action was prompted by the

haughty Jersey City manager in reply
te Philadelphia's Invitation te enter the

"The champion of the world is ready

our ,home grounds."
Six thousand newsboys shared in the
