Dear Sir-I have followed the recent
discussion In the columns of your
valued paper as to the merits and COM
parative dement's Of two of our loca.
scrappers.
/ nave no intention of ''knocking'
either of the boys concerned, but 1t
seems to me that Thomas Messenger is
downright funny when he makes the
absurd claim that Savage Cor anyone
else) Is moi experienced, competent
or successful enough to meet Young
Wildfang.
I myself, in common with several
hundred fight fans of this vicinity, have
seen this same Wildfang (whom Mr.
Messenger apparently thinks is a world
beater). outboxed, o~utslugged and out.
fought by a comparatively new conner
in the game. a boy with about four
months ring experience.
The "scrapper' I refer to is Ray Hat
field, who has met Wildfang six times
and beat him five.
l would suggest that Mr.. Messenger
allow his boy to meet all Corners until
such time as he can speak of Wild
fang's rep without at the same time
disclosing five big blots on it.
Paper raps are easily. arranged, but
II Wiidfang really wants to lay the
foundation for a bona ide reputation,
let him meet and beat Hatfield de-
~cisively. as there are hundreds who
doubt his ability to do so. Sincerely
yours, ONE OF MANY.

night in their ten-round bout. Wild
fang dropped Card IN third for the
count, and after that had his opponent
on the run. Wildfang made a good i'm
precision upon the crowd and was given
quite an ovation when he left the ring.
