More admirers of Kid Boonton are
heard from in the following letter:
| j. p. N:
I would like to write you a few lines
in regards to Banty Lewis's mana
ger. He states, through your column.
that he is willing to post $50 in Harry
Stones hands, Now, why don't he
post it In Gus Troxler's hands, a man
whom we all know? Then we will
back Boonton up to any extent |
| don't see why Banty wants a return
match. If Banty won the first bout
he would not ask for a return con-
test, so the wise ones say. l would
also like to add that Banty's mana
ger has said his protege was not in
shape in the fight. If boxer doesn t
keep in shape for bout 1t is no ones
| fault but his own. He should not
find excuses that way. Though Banty
| is considered a wonderful boxer, he
| is by no means a match for Boonton.
! If these boys are matched again
Banty Is going to get knocked out If
| the bout is scheduled to go ten
rounds. You surely had the words
right when you said Lewis did not
| like the Kids game" The Kid will
surely get Banty's goat" if they
meet again. Lewis's head has been
swelling of late. but he had better look
!, out for Boonton, for the latter means
| business. Perhaps the Hill Boys"
and Joe Sachs will come back at this
They surely can as strong as they
| like, and we will arrange the match.
ORANGE FIGHT FANS.
The forfeit money is in good hands
Il will vouch for that. l suggested
Gus Troxler as stakeholder to Mr..
Sachs, but Gus refused to hold the
money for obvious reasons. Whatever
| the outcome, make the match. Then
as to what Boonton will do to Lewis.

The French cycle fans and the
Italian cycle fans seem unable to
agree, and they are now at it hammer
and-tongs However, they will have
to cut their arguments down to the
bone, for there are many others who
want to be heard through the col
umns of the. Evening Star. The
Frenchmen are now at the bat Let
us see how they are hitting:

pertinent remarks, dealing more or
less directly with the "Frenchy Cor
poration, we would like to say that
their remarks are absurd, The as
sertion that the Frenchmen had no
chance with Verri is laughable, for
he really does not class with Hour
lier, Friol or Perchicot, all French
men, We feel that the absurdity of
the statement is now made clear, SO
Wen let well enough alone.
Now, IS. o. & Co.." don't be
crawlers. Don't show the white
is often, you accuse his opponent, or
opponents, of fouling him. You
charged Jackie Clark, and also his
(Verri's) New York siX-day rivals of
fouling your favorite. You also state
that in a match race with Kramer
shortly after his arrival in this coun-
try that Kramer beat Verri by only
inches. Now, IS. O. & Co.." you
know right down in your heart thai
Kramer could easily have beaten him
by feet, or yards. You ought to be
pleased that Kramer has a heart and
does not try to make a monkey of
his opponents. Perhaps it would
please the company to know that
MacFarland's story in Saturdays
issue of the Evening Star was read
by us, and in answer to your sug-
geStion that for better reference
as to Morettrs ability we read
Macs" article, we dare say that it
would be poor policy on the part of
MacFarland not to praise a rider he
has signed to compete. You give
much space to Moretti's winning
record, but take it from us, there is
not sufficient space in this column to
enumerate his defeats.
A French sporting paper states that
Friol made Moretti look like a novice
in the sem-final heat of the Grand
Prix de Paques. We could go on and
tell of Morettis defeats, but why hurt
his reputation.
You invite us to read well before
writing about sports, but why not
practise what you preach? Com
preng? Here's a nifty bunch of
riders, but we fail, after careful OBJ
servation, to locate either Verri or
Moretti, your wonderful stars, among
them: Kramer. Clark. Goullet, Gren-
da, Rutt, Hourlier, Friol, Perchicot,
Pouchois and Dupre.
So, IS. o. and Co." please cut out
chucking the "bull'' about Verri and
Moretti and kindly remember that
their Is nothing so great as man
who is wrong, but who thinks he Is
right, and when he finds out he is
wrong will stand up and admit 1t.
Very truly YOURS
THE FRENCHY CORPORATION
per Frenchy LIST.
Go easy, Frenchy. and give IS. o.
list of stars to draw from, whereas
your rivals have only three real good
riders-Verri. Moretti and Polledri--
to bank on. Perhaps you will have
an opportunity to witness a race OF
| two at the Velodrome between the
French and the Italian riders. Their
we shall see what we shall see.
