1.-THE boxing game is probably in for
81 a boom around here. 1t least
W new clubs, to my knowledge,
are being planned. We wish them sue
cess. One will be in the "Ironbound
District" 1 have learned. The other
will probably be In the centre of the
city.
Benny Miller was in today to say
that he intended to go out to get
some work for Ben Douglass. Ben chal-
lenges Billy Leary or Kid Wilson or
anybody else for a bout at a weight
from lao to las. Ben Is going to devote
g his time to boxing exclusively for a
time. He intends to train at William
Procters Institute with the instruc-
tor, getting himself in the best pos
Utble shape. Ben wants to meet Wilson
Tor Leary at the Olympic Club. Sam
Golden may manage Ben from this out.
One of the real amateur soccer foot
ball leagues in the country Is presided
over by a West Hudson man. He is T.
Bagnall, of Harrison, n the organiza-
tion he heads is the New York State
Amateur League, whose picked team
&~defeated the eleven selected from the
Pennsylvania elevens Monday in Brook
1yn. After the game these men,, who
are not in he game for the few dollars
that are in it If one cares to seek the
paltry coins, went down into their own
pockets and paid for a banquet for 100
men that was q credit to them. This
league boasts of players of many ma

of Hungarians. Applications are now
German eleven. Hortabout that for
soccer?
Tom Messenger. the peerless ref
cree" had his nose where 1t 'oughtn't
to be last night, a habit he has, in
refereeing the star bout at McGulgan's,
ETand he received a gentle jab on the
nose that made the crimson fow. 1t
was a back-tap from Jeanette's glove
Xn the seventh round of the star bout,
and put Messenger out of the game for
two r. ass5s.- Jeanette deserves a vote
of thanks. When Messenger was in
5ured Paddy McGdigan relieved him..
The work Of the two referees was SO
different as to cause comment. When
Paddy spoke the men broke clean as q
whistle, while Messenger had to urge
them time and again to break cleahly.
Ia rood referee is as essential as two
.sshters to NIKE a good bout.
says hat Jack Gilmartin has
an to go about the city to get
boys he could sign up for the
Es,iaries at the Olympic !
EHsays he has all the tough ones
up and that GiImartin will have
u some hard one from New York
1local boys are not to be all win
Crisp, the ex-Tiger catcher now
The st. Louis Browns roster, is
ling for a ten-round bout to be
II in Kansas City some time In the
y} future. Joe is a ''bug'' on the
ling game and is there with his
.nds. It's a toss-up between boxing
gand baseball with Joe.
Miller was behind Carl Healey in his
bout with Buddy Faulkes last night at
Troxler's and improvement in Healey's
work was noticed. He seemed to be
able to move his feet n legs more
quickly than heretofore.
Hugo Kelly's claim for the middle
weight title is a joke. It's either Dave
Sullivan or nobody.
Larry Doyle, Fred Merkle, Fred
~Snodgrass, Admiral Schlei, Louis
Drucke and lack Murray are the only
Giants who have not signed their con-
tracts for next year. Fletchers scare
helped SOME.
10 chs Sporting Editor Of the Evening Star:
VIII you kindly rectify error in your
notice regarding my shows. You men
tioued three star bouts and failed to
use Young Kurtz's and Knockout John
sons names. Thanking you for the
favor, 1 beg to remain. sincerely yours,
GUS TRoxLER.
The fact that Knockout Johnson
fought at McGuigan's last night shows
we were right. Knowing that Johnson
was to box at McGuigan's and is under
McGuigan's management. l took the
liberty of making the correotion.-Ed.
To tho Sporting Editor Of the Evening Star:
Kindly publish in the Evening STAR
Nhe answer to the folloWlng queries
"A, B and G play seven up" A deals,
b begs, A gives one. Does B alone get
a point or do B and G each get n by
the gift of A? Again, in the same
game, A has no points, B has five and
G six. B deals and c shows low" and
oalls ''out." A has high" in his and
and claims he is not ~''skunked." Is he
pr Is he not "skunked' and what is the
reason for your answer? Thanking you
for answering the above questions, l
nm, very truly. III. b. b.
!. "oive one. give ALL" is the rule of
the game. Sometimes it is agreed upon
to give the man next to the giver the
point. 2. High" goes out.-Ed
TO the Sporting Editor OF the Evening Star:
I went to McGuigan's last night, and
after seeing Paddy referee. following
the man he employs to do the work, l
wondered why Paddy does not oAGate
himself. He knows something about
refereeing. Incidentally II your
.spaper said about the same referees
work at the Olympic Club was proven
10 be on the mark.
