good boy, still Johnny has neVe
lost any sleep worrying about Vein
ert standing in his way When W,
were boxing In Newark, Wenert',
name was mentioned for a bout witt
Howard, but the management did no
think he would prove a good enough
attraction. About three weeks ago j
was asked If | would let Howard box
Weinert at the Atlantic Garden A. C
at an all-Jersey show on May Is.
gave my consent. When Woodruff
was approached he declared that he
thought Weinert was too young tc
box Howard, so the bout was called
off. Now does that look as If Wei
merit was anxious to meet Howard?
In regard to Johnny. he has not
done anything since he knocked out
Silent Martin. We had matches with
George Ashe and Tommy Maloney
but both boys backed out and called
them off. Three weeks ago Howard
had match with Mike Donovan, but
a boil developed on his face and
Johnny was compelled to cancel the
bout. l got another bout with Ashe
for the goth and one with Jimmy
Mitchell on the oath. but the old hoo
doc cropped up again. Howard in
jured a leg muscle in training and
could not go on with either bout. His
leg will be all right In a couple of
weeks. and If Mr.. Woodruff is so
positive that his boy can whip How
ard, we will be only too glad to give
him the chance at any time and at
any old place. This also goes for Mr.
Kurtz, who has been telling every
body who did not see his two fights
with Howard how he almost made
Johnny jump out of the ring. The
only thing l saw Johnny do was Jump
out after Kurtz to bring him back.
Sincerely yours,
DAN ]. FITZPATRICK,
Manager of John Howard.
After reading which, it is safe bet
ting that Mr. P, Woodruff will take
the first Orange car for Newark to
prove an alibi. However, If both
mean business 1t will not
require much discussion In making a
match and more than likely the Hill
side A. c. will stage the bout. AS
for Young Kurtz! He, too, might get
another chance.

the Park place terminal to the park?

No, Abe, they'll let you in for moth

throw peanut shells on the walks.
Take thes Hudson tunnels to Hudson

Can you solve this puzzle for me?
A says it can be done, B says not. A
cannot do 1t himself. by the way.
This is it: Put rope around four
posts and across the centre without
cutting it. I have tried it so much
am walking a rope in my dreams.

stunt you mention cannot be done.

before the Civil War, when 1 went
10 school. But if you insist you may
keep it up. Take this tip, though:
Use a pencil and a piece of paper for
your experiments, the problem re-
mains the same and all you lose is
the fresh air you'd get marching
around the poles.
