WILL BENDER AND HURLEY
SETTLE TITLE QUESTION?

Jersey to settle this question. there
would be a pile of money in it for the
club.
Dc you catch my meaning? You
don't? Well, 1t is this: Down In Eliz-
abeth they have a fighter by the name
of Bender, who says he a fight at the
lightweight limit. Now, %supposing
that these W. lads came together at
the lightweight figure and fought it out
to decide who is Jerseys lightweight
champion, and don't you think this
card would draw every Jerseyite over
to the club where that battle would be
staged? l do" and the old fight fan
seemed proud to think that he vas
original in thinking out such an affair
of the mitts.
AT that. the suggestion is a good one.
The days of lightweights in this State
seem to have had their inning, or, at
least, we hear of very few men who
are in the business and who tip the
beams at 1873. There are no more Hand
iers or Gibbons or Cal McCarthys or
Denny or Jack Wards. These have had
their day. and there is n les spot
where they once stood in the fighting
game.
With Hurley and Bender fighting, the
question of who is who in the light
weight world, the f1stic movement in
New York would take on a new squirt,
and there would be plenty of fun for
the old fight fan who suggested this
to me as well as to every fight far in
the State.
l wonder will Manager Frame. for
Hurley, and Manager Carroll, for Ben
der, take this matter up. Let us hope
so for the old fight fan. who is eager
to see both boys decide such q momen-
! tou question.
