a new announcer should be engaged
and his letter is given, as follows:
J. p. N: q
The person signing himself "Dou-
| Die p" in your Issue of April %, has
a justified kick about the announce
ments at the Nelodrome this season,
and he should not be ashamed to sign
his name in full, for he has many
/ supporters. l sat at the end of the
grandstand last Sunday, and 1 did
not get one full announcement. Now.
Double p" proposes a board erected,
| with numbers to help out the an
nouncer. ] have been q constant pat
ron since 1 have located here, having
| formerly resided in Philadelphia, and
/ "nsndstand on Sun
days and in the bleachers on Wednes-
- ..-,-, .,.ue.4,ly near the an
aoencelnents made by the former an
nouacer, Edward Bedford, from any
angle, unless, of course there was a
disqualification of which the crowd
| did not approve. I could distinguish
every word he uttered, and You know
the patrons should be considered, for
| it Is their support that makes the
game profitable for the promoters.
| The management has heretofore tried
to consider the patrons. Why not
then dispense with the proposed board
idea and let the promoters engage
someone who can fill the position
| The board is a good thing, in way,
but it will not announce added
starters" or give any special an
! nouncements," which are very i'm
portant, in order to follow the card
correctly.
Hoping that Mr.. MacFarland no.
tices this letter, and that he will try
| to give us a good class of officials
in the future, as he has in the past,
to go with the excellent class of races
| that he is endeavoring to give us up
to date, remain,

The Mahon- Lewis bout promises to
be fast and interesting. and Mahon
is sure he will win. Lewis, of course.
must feel that he has a good chance,
but he is not saying much as to the
outcome. Banty has a big following,
and the HANDLERS will no doubt turn
out in numbers to see the battle.
Mahon, too, is well liked, and some
of the Rambler boys are for him.
Lewiss chances of winning would
seem to rest entirely in his mode OF
battle. He is aggressive, and If he
can keep rushing and hitting he is
likely to be given the popular deci-
sion. Mahon says he understands
Banty's style to nicely, and that he
expects to stop him before the ten
rounds are over. The boys around
the corner are divided on the out
come, although Mahon seems TO be
the favorite with most of them
Irish is the choice, but his friends re-
fuse to bet the odds asked by Lewis's
supporters.
Irish Mahon may be confident Of
defeating Banty Lewis, but he will
find more than few who will dis
agree with him. For instance, here
is a member of the Happy Rambler'
who thinks that Mahon will be give1
the tx. o." punch when the boy
meet next Tuesday night:
J. p. NJ:
In reading Friday evenings Star
see Irish Mahon Is so sure of defeat
Ing Banty Lewis that he is telling
his friends to put all their money or
him. Now IL any of his hackers thinl
they have a cure thing let then
come up to the Happy Ramblers' As
ISOLATION at any time before mex
Tuesday, and their bets will be COY
cred, as there is from $500 to $500 III
there in a certain party's hands, witt
| In fs-iia tn baf all he fin
bout Another thing, it seems TO mi
Irish Is already beginning to squeal
He says he will weigh 122 pounds OF
the night of the fight, and says IN
can make 11S pounds in a pinch
which is not true, unless he takes of
one of his legs. Now please remem
Der. after the fight, to remind the
public that the weight question is nj
excuse, and as far as knocking Bant5
out, he has as much chance as thu
Statue of Liberty has of watkins
from here to Frisco. As far as bet
ting. he wouldn't bet his end of tht
purse even If he fought Babe An.
CERT, the little paperweight, and hi'
friends should turn out strong anC
come UP to Browns Gym. and SCI
Irish take the beating of his life anC
take the long count.
A Happy Rambler.
In regard to betting, If there is ;
real desire to place wager on tn
outcome of the matter, why, do it al
quietly as possible. Mahon says hi
friends have about 5000 to bet, ant
that he will wager his end of tn
purse. n the Ramblers feel like tax
ing these bets, Mahon says he will
lead them to it."
C
. Irish Mahon says he is as sure tina
; he will beat Banty Lewis next Tues
day night at Bill Browns in New
York as he is that he can make les
than 12O pounds any time he wants
to. Mahon has been all smiles TO
tho last few days over the storie
being published intimating that n
may not be able to make 1875 pounds
1T didn't know that l was such ;
good kidder myself until / read TIN
stories in a newspaper" Mahon said
land 1 see that fighters are not tn
only 'boobs' in this wide world. Yes
have been Stringlng some OF TN
, boys along about my weight, but yol
, can take it from me that 1 can maxi
100 pounds any time. Lewis viii
weigh about 125 pounds when in gooC
. shape, but that isn't anything. l an
so confident that will beat him tina
my end of the purse is still open 70
