Jack Kaye, the S. A. A. c. 1875
FOUNDER, is to be given another
chance to make good. Following
his defeat in the Seattle-Spokane
interclub smoker, Kaye dropped out
of the game, but the youngster has
decided to cut out all tough stuff"
and get down to business.
81 don't think that l could beat
out Kelly for a place on the inter-

night, but l do think that within
a short time l could more than hold

Kaye is to be commended for his
determination to outlive his two re-
cent defeats. The Irishman has
plenty of good stuff in him and if
he will do the right thing there is
no reason why the early champion
ship predictions should not be re-
allied. Any man who can defeat
Dranga of Portland within six
weeks of first donning gloves, can
deliver the goods if he will.

while they are likely to give Port

for McCreedie to concentrate his

ies-he is likely to lose heart and
quit before he really starts.
Green men are sent into the ring,
not to get knocked out, for Creel is
very careful in his selection of op-

Creel is undoubtedly developing
