DUDDY FAULKES, the clever local
ID ll2-pounder, who put up such a
slashins bout with the rugged
Young Wagner at the Olympic c b,
dropped in yesterday afternoon to talk
about the fight. Buddy thought the
worst he should have a was a draw.
Buddy Is an entertaining boy and wal
very happy when we told him thai the
consensus of opinion was the shade
wagner had on him was so small that
he need not feel disgraced. Wagner Was
heavier than Buddy by the time they
got in the ring. Buddy weighed about
lib pounds who he weighed In. whiic
Wagner was just right at 116.
Of course, by IL o'clock, when the
boys got into the ring. the visitor was
much heavier, as he is a more rugged
boy.
Faulkes is giving away too much
weight. He is to meet that tough Young
S~hrugrue at Waterbury on the 22d Of
this month. Shrugrue.is to weigh in at
lis pounds at 8 o'clock. I'm told he
will be a featherweight at fight time.
Faulkes will hardly go above ia. That's
q pretty tough handicap for a small
boy.
Buddy is not a bad talker at all.
He told a funny little story about him.
self yesterday that is worth repeating.
Faulkes said that he was working as
an elevator boy In the local Y. NJ. C.
A. building while he was lighting at
McGuigan's. Paddy used to call on
him there to arrange matches. Some
body got wise to the Harrison pro-
moter and the first thing he knew

they did not mi a pri~ze-fighter

each six rounds, was the big sum
of 49," .
Dan McKetrick would not object to
the making of a match between Willie
Lewis and Kid Wilson. at McGuigan's
club II satisfactory arrangements
could be arranged before he leaves for
Europe with Lewis and Joe jean
nette. 1t is likely that Dan will post
pone his trip for awhile.
McKetrick has heard a lot about
Wilson and booked him over carefully
while he performed with Joe Stein, and
vas quick to state Lewis could get to
the Orangeite quickly with his rangy
left.
While Wilson is naturally disap-
pointed over the manner in which ais
fight with Stein progressed on Mo-.
day night he claims that he was willing
to fight at all times. His friends feel
if the affair had gone a few rounds
more Wilson would a put Stein
away because of his work in the latter
part of the poor bout.
