looking fine. Patsy has been
matched with Young Pierce for
a week from tonight at the Douglass
A. c.. in Philadelphia. Patsy fought
Young Pierce about five or six years
ago. Patsy broke his hand in the
third round. Pierce has only recently
fought Digger Stanley. The Ven
dome people are after Patsy FOR a
main bout. 1t is said that a price has
been offered Patsy for a bout soon, out
the fighter will stand o q percentages
proposition. Some of the prices the
club is offering good fighters lead us
to believe hat the promoters will never
die of enlargement of the heart. They
are charging enough to pay Kline, Bat
Ting Hurley and others their price.
The way Newarkers take the trip to
New York and pay big prices to see
these boys work warrants the belief that
It Is a good business proposition. Kline
got more in Philadelphia than he has
been offered here.
George Boice, the Irvington lad who
was farmed out to Toledo by Cleveland
started to pitch for the Toledo team
against Kansas City Sunday Int lasted
one inning. He was relieved after two
runs had been scored on him.. Bojce
has not been in a game so long that he
is not yet working just right. When
he starts off he will make them sit up
and take notice.
Danny Sullivan, who is training Jack
Goodman, the New York lightweight,
for his fight with Abe Attell. the feath-
erweight champion at Fair Haven, this
State, writes to say that Jack, judging
from his present form. should fight the
best bout Of his career.

10 the Sporting Editor Of the Evening Star:
We see where Mr.. Voigt is going to
hand q gold brick to some n of the
I athletes, or may be all Of them. It's
value is supposed to be 500, and goes
to the winner of the ten-mile race. ]
guess this gold-brick game won't go,
as we athletes CAM be fooled. We
know the A. A. U. rules don't allow
only $35 value for a first prize at any
meet. We want to see these prizes
before we enter. AS we were stung
before with such kinds of game as
this, 1t looks funny to us that OF
the local papers published a story the
beginning of last week stating that this
club had Sheridan, Gissing and Winton
Paul as entrants, and in yesterdays
issue of the same paper they say thai
Mr.. O'Hara has just received Gissing's
and Sheridan's entries. Now, which Is
right? 1t looks to us like they were
deceiving the public. And they also
now state that Mr.. Winton PAUL can
not attend, as he is needed home for
the Intercollegiate. After stating they
had his entry one week 81 they come
out now and make such a statement.
/ suppose the next not to come will be
Sheridan and the other men they adj
vertise. Thanking you. we are
