Joe Jeanette Who Boxed
Here Three Years Ago,
Paris Fight Hero.

r OE JEANETTE, the colored fighter,
of Hoboken, who three ear ago
was boxing and wrestling at Hill
side Park, will have his third fight with
Sam McVea before the sporting club of
Paris Saturday night. In their first
fight Mcvea won in twenty rounds.
Then a little more than a year ago
Jeanette licked Mcvea in a gruelling
battle of forty-nine rounds. Saturday
night 81 affair will be thirty rounds and
should demonstrate which is the better
man.
Jeanette is very popular in Paris
and has already won one fight over
there this year. On October 80 he
knocked out AL Kubiak, the Michigan
giant, in the tenth round of what was
to have been a twepty-round fight.
Dan McKetrick, Jeanfiette's manager
who is also looking after the interests
of Willie Lewis. of New York, and jim
Stewart, of Brooklyn, in Paris this win
ter. writes an interesting letter about
the fighting game and the fighters in.
Paris.
McKetrick says in part: "The fight
ing game looks better than ever over
here and my three boys are getting
their share Of the money. We arrived
here on October 10 and Lewis a to
fight on, the 18th. He caught a bad
cold coming over and was not in good
shape, but he managed to put away JEFF
Thorne, the English heavyweight, in
ten rounds. Lewis was to have fought
Jewey Smith. another English heavy
weight, who was once the champion of
South Africa, until Lewis beat him a
year ago on November 6. but his cold
was still bothering him, so / put Stew
art on in his place. Stewart put Smith
away in the sixth round in easy style.
Stewart, with proper handling, will
make a great fighter.
"When Jeanette fought Kubiak the
big fellow from Michigan had about
twenty-five pounds the better of the
weights, but that didn't bother jean
nette in the least He jnst waded in
and battered Kubiak all over the ring
for nine rounds, and then dropped him
for the count in the tenth with a LETT
hook to the chin and a short jab to the
solar plexus. On November 6 Jeanette
also licked Sid Russell, the Australian
heavyweight, who had all the better OF
the weight proposition.
"In factNmy men always have to give
away weight over here. On our return
from here some time in June We intend
to go after johnson. Jeanette can hex
the big smoke. Jeanette is really en-
titled to. a crack at Johnson, as he has
licked all the other big blacks. You
know Langford quit to Jeanette IN
Lawrence, Mass, a little over a yea
ago.

and Lewis again. but 1T will nave 10 pc
at 15s pounds. When they fought III
Pittsburg his fall Papke had thirteen
mounds in weight on Lewis. The Paris
Sporting Club, through Charley Har-
vev. of New York. it's American repre-
sentative, has made Papke a bic offer
to come to Paris and fight Lewis at los
pounds ringside. Even at that he Will
have weight on Lewis as Lewis's best
weight is 145 pounds.

laps ahead OF last years record or
1,I5o.9. There was no change in the

Instead of diminishing their speed, the

a lap behind, increased the pace, and at
nine bells the field was exactly twelve
