There are many lghtweights about the
country who are not quite up 10 tue
standard as far as champions are con-
cerned. but they are not far shy o. the
select class when it comes To real fight
ing ability. The stars what few there
are seem to have things pretty much
their own way. They make matches
with various clubs, but they are atso
careful not to get any the worse of the
matchmakins Jimmy Duffy has been
star for soIae time. but he has found it
hard travelling TO get into the selec;

You've got to hand it to DAME! Morgan
of the firm of Morgan & Mcketrick of
New York when il comes to pushing
fighter along the busy path. Dan loves
an argument and can hand out language
that Daniel Webster never heard of. but
at the same time he never loses chance
TO push his fighters to the front. \ year
ago Battling Levinsky (known then as
Barney Williams) was considered a Very
ordinary second-rate fighter Dan made
the fellow believe he was a champion and
he began to improve rapidly. He has
stacked uD against heavyweightS and
middeweights. although he is only a light
heavyweight himself, scaling about 16j

has scored fourteen knock-outs against
men much bigger than himself. Now he
wants to meet Carl Morris and also
George Rodel. the Boer champion He is
sure enough another Joe Choynski.
Dan also made a star out of Jack
Britton when Jack was drifting about
the country as a fairly good lightweight.
and he did the same with Knockout
Brown who was never better than
good second rater.
