Along the road toward the ranch

thickly in sweaters, the other a fat

Both were dripping as If from an i'm

vibrated with heat waves. They both
stumbled as they walked. and it was
only by the strongest effort Of will
that they propelled themselves. AS

Announces Dates for Coli
Tournament at Lakewood

Insted of being first in the field with
its tournament, as it usually is, the
Country Club, of Lakewood, will have
it's spring meeting on April 80 and
May l and 2, the week following the
spring meeting at the Country Club
of Atlantic City. The Lakewood dates
we're announced yesterday. This
tournament marks the formal begin
ming of the golf season in the metro
politan district.
1t is hardly likely that the condi-
tions governing the tournament will
be changed. Last year there was an
eighteen hole testing round the first
day, with match play beginning the
day following, and the final test over
the eighteen hole route Saturday
afternoon.

Hoping to see this letter published
remain,
JOE SACHS,
Manager Banty Lewis.
We would like to see this fight come
off. but We warn Lewis and his man
ager to be more careful when they
make this match than they were
when they did business with Kid
Boonton. Poor Banty got so much
the worst of the matchmaking with
Boonton that he will never recover
from the shock. And how easy it
was for Boonton to do the weight,
tool He only had to take off five
pounds on the day Of the bout. As one
of Boonton's friends said after the
fight at Browns: "I read SO much
bull about Boonton being able to
make the weight SO easily, I almost
began to believe 1t myself" One of
Lewis's hackers remarked: After
we had made the match at the Eve
ming Star office, We read how Lewis
had made a bad match and big
Now we read where it was
Boonton that made the big mistake |
Before and after-how different"
@
The following letter was evidently |
intended for publication previous to |
the -Boonton bout, but it did |
not reach this Office in time:
J. p. N:
There has been an awful discussion |
between Kid Boonton and Banty Lewis |
as to who Is the superior. Now, / |

and now he stands on the highest
pinnacle of the court tennis world.
His is a great achievement. He de-
serves his success.

Though soundly beaten, Kid Boon
ton hasn't any apologies to make for
his showing in his fight with Banty
Lewis. More than that, he is de-
serving of great praise for his game
effort. Outclassed as to cleverness,
he fought an uphill battle and never
fiinched once. He lacks boxing Skill
but he will improve, and he will be
a good boy some day. He has q stiff
punch, but he hasn't developed his
hand for a fighter. Boonton looked
to be a little drawn, and he said he
had weakened himself in making the
weight. He made many friends by his
game showing and none there had
more kind words for the Kid than
did Banty Lewis, his conqueror.
Boonton will never try to make 1877
pounds again, and Manager Joe Bene-
detto said that the stories printed
saying that the Kid could make the
weight easily were "all bull and ridic-
ulous." 1.-The Kid was weak at the
weight" Manager Benedetto declared,
but we lost and we are not making
any complaint" Boonton was also q
good loser. In fact, he talked as If
the whipping he had just received
would do him good. He is a little
gamester, and I hope to see him at
tract attention before very long. AS
soon as he learns to use his left hand
he will make all the light
in this vicinity stand around.
G
Joe Sachs, the manager of Banty
Lewis, has much to say in the fol-
lowing letter, but the most important
bit of news is contained in the in
formation that Sachs is willing to
back Lewis against Irish Mahon
]. P. N:
Horace Greeley once said that
THE darkest hour in any mans life
is when he sits down to plan how to
get easy money without earning it."
The world is full of just such men,
but the fortunate thing for humanity
Is that so few of them possess the
ability to get 1t, and Banty Lewis
was one of the few, and he showed
1t Tuesday night at Browns. As we
predicted Banty would win, we will
admit it was pretty soft for our
Banty, but we must give a whole lot
Of credit to Boonton for sticking ten
rounds. Boonton did good for a new
man in the ten-round game, but as
we said before, he was going out of
mis- class when he made the match |
with Lewis. Banty went right to
work Wednesday morning at 7

Gardner and Poggenburg Now
Even i'm Billiard Tournament

NEW YORK, March 19.-Edward
Gardner, of New York, suffered his
first loss in the national amateur bill
lard championship tournament last
night, and as result is tied with his
conqueror, ]. Ferdinand Poggenburg,
of New York, for first place, with four
wins and one loss each. Poggenburg
made his 400 points in SO innings
while his opponent scored 3O5.
Playing his fifth and last game but
one, Charles Heddon. of Dowagiac,
Mich, defeated Eugene L. Milburn,
of Memphis, Tenn, 400 to 1870, in the
afternoon game yesterday, and Incl
dentally made run of 1856, which is
the highest in this years contest and
sets q new mark ip play for the ma
tional title. Heddon now has a SPLEEN

will not fight Irish Mahon, as 7 think
he is far superior to either of them.
Mahon has beaten such boys as
| Young Wagner, Waiter Brooks
| Banty Lewis and Hun Ferris, now
| known as frankie Conway, of Phila-
delphia. He has also beaten Harry
Tracy, a good boy, and, in fact, every
| good boy in New Jersey, except Patsy
Kline. We think he would also give
Patsy the hardest go of his life.
We sincerely hope that Lewis and
Boonton will not find some excuse
and back out, as they did before.
Hoping to see this in your sporting
column, we remain, yours respect
fully,
THE BOYS OF THE HILL.
P. S.-They talk of money. Well, if
that is the case, we can cover as
much or more of it than Banty Lewis
or Kid Boonton's bakers could OBJ
tain.
1t is up to Lewis, as the winner, to
do the accepting. If Mahon can
make 122 pounds. there is no good
reason why Lewis shouldn't fight
him. But 1t isn't up to Banty to fight
llghtweights. OF course, when he sees
one he can trim, 1t is quite natural
that he get busy. But it is to be
hoped that Lewis. in the future, be
more careful in making his matches.
The way Kid Boonton and Joe Bene-
ditto, the Kids manager. put it over
Banty when arranging the bout, and
the way Boonton put it over Lewis
during the bout, was dreadful

The reason why Mickey belmont is
not doing any boxing these days is
explained in the following commune
cation:
J. P. N:

Friend of Philip Krug" inquiries why
Mickey belmont, the winner in one
of the tournaments, did not enter the
last one. l wish to state he did enter,
and sent in his entry blank, but owing
to a sudden attack of illness he could
not put in an appearance. l would
also like to inform you that belmont
Will not appear in the next tourna-
ment, either, owing to his parents
objection. He is, however, working
out daily with such men as Mickey
Donnelly, and he is showing improve
ment every time he dons the gloves.
Coming back to the Krug argu-
ment, | would like to say that I have
a grudge against him, and that is that
he belongs to the National Turner's.
That was brought into evidence when
he fought Louis Rose in the final of
the 10S-pound class, in which Rose
used him for a target, flooring him
several times, but yet he was re-
turned winner, and the decision was
a poor one. Still another instance is
that he was over weight, and still
they let him go on in the 108-pound
class. And, lest we should forget,

Cashman's Timely Field Goal
Causes GreystOck's Defeat

Cashman's field goal in the last
minute of play enabled Camden to
beat out Greystock at Camden last
night by the score of 81 to g.
This victory places Camden a half
game behind Trenton for the lead and
a half game ahead of Jasper for sec
ond place. A victory for the Jaspers
tonight will tie all three clubs for
first place, while a win for Trenton
will insure the latter the pennant.
Camden was a mighty lucky team
to win last night, as the Greys led
them for thirty-five of the forty min
utes of play, and it was due to two
shifts in the line-up that helped ma
terially in landing the Alpha boys a
