F the management Of the $3.50, 81,
$1.50 and 81 Vendome Club wishes
to be successful 1t should engage
somebody as a matchmaker h knows
something abou fighting, especially for
the main bout. 1t should nave better
main bouts than the Johnny Dwyer-
Fighting Joe" Hyland bout at the clubs
opening last night. They are about
third-rate lightweights. Dryers hands
are so bad he's afraid to take a chance,
and Hyland is anything but a nice
. Fighter to look at. To make matters
worse. the management announces
Wildfang and Billy Leary as the prin-
cipals for next weeks bout. Now, the
writer likes both of these men, knows
them Intimately, but he fails to see
where two slow men who would fur
nish a corking good long fight can be
worth the price for a six-round bout.
i / mingled with the crowd leaving the
New Auditorium last night.
What thought of the main
bout last night was verified by
what / heard. My opinion Is that
a s~econd-class featherweight could
punch either OF them around the ring.
There was a good crowd in the 81 and
tie $1.50 seats, but there could have
W. 0GSu IlldHy I1oI6 III III li6hCi Nv
places. The only thing high-class about
blast nights affair was the hall, the
Wiring and the preliminary bouts, most
of which We're good, but the main bout,
supposed to be the best o~btainable, and
which made the fans cough up the
extra cash, was certainly punk"
You'd think the fighters were brothers
the way they went at it.

Lieutenant Tom Brady, the A. A. U.
commissioner for this district, told the
writer Yesterday that he was sorry
that his contemplated warfare on the
athletic meet of the Vendome Club had
become public. He said, however, that
!, he was going through with 1t. The
d trouble Is that the Vendome Club is
4 advertising an athletic meet for May
20, just one week ahead of the irish
Anierican A. A. games May 20 In the
EAetern League ball park. THAT isn't
q real club" said Brady. you can
rost assured they won get the stars
they say they are"
Patsy Kline thinks well of Ben
Douglass and has decided to back him
for some hits In the near future. Patsy
stands ready to post 5000 with the
sporting editor of this paper to bin a
match with Young Wildfang or Ray
Hatfield or any other boy weighing las
pounds. Patsy says he isn't particular
who takes him up, the soone the
better. This looks like a chance for q
good fight, as Patsy has the money and
is not kidding" about matters.
o
Billy Lewis cannot go on with Tommy
: Hogan at the National Turner Baseball
,NSmoke tonight in the clubhouse in
,.3ruce street, but Freddy Feig has Sc
Cured Tony Bender in his place for the
star o
Jimmy De Forest was at the Ven
dome last night looking as clipper as
ever and as happy at being Pal Moore's
manage as If he owned a gold mine.
He said that Patsy Kline, against
whom he would not allow his mar to
go, was in pretty bad shape toward the
end of His bout with O'Toole. Patsy.
however, claimed yesterday that he was
not. and that If O'Toole would make
the featherweight limit of 1872 and they
could get a long fight he could beat the
Philadelphia. Patsy is not given to
boasts. All this was dragged out of
him. Patsy declared that he weighed
120. with all his clothes on the night OF
the O'Toole fight, but that O'Toole,
stripped, weighed 124. HE has the
coolest head of any boxer l ever met"
said Patsy. "When l had him hang
ing on in the third he began to stall;
TO hug me, hold my gloves and such
tricks as bearing his weight on me,
preventing me from getting over my
punch. De Forest admitted that Patsy
gave O'Toole a lacing for the first
three rounds.
