| in Baltimore, next Wednesday night
| All the details of the match had no
been arranged, Patsy said, but he ex-
time today. In speaking of the Kline
| CLANCY fight, the Baltimore Evening
Sun says that Kline will receive more
money for his share than has evel
been paid to a featherweight in that
city. Kline's price is said to be $1,000
Patsy has been working for several
| days in anticipation of the Baltimore
match, and he declared last night that
he was in fine condition.

After Kid Boonton gets through with
Banty Lewis at Gus TroXler's next
Monday night his manager, Joe Bene-
detto, will find something big for him
to do in New York. Manager Billy
Gibson, of the Stadium A. c., is very
sweet on Boonton, and the Kid can
get a bout any time he says the word.
Boonton surely made a great impress
sion in his two fights over in New
York, and he has a good chance to
make something of himself. He is
the most natural fighter I have seen
in years, and he can hit as we'll as
box. He Is a wonderfully improved
boy. and those who saw him in his
bout with Lewis at Browns wouldn't
think he was the same fellow that
polished off Harlem Tommy Hopkins.
Judging by the improvement shown
in Boonton, Lewis would seem to be
in for a beating, but it is just pos
sible that Banty has sufficient expert
ence to get away for four rounds
without any damage. Boonton, how
ever. is set on beating Banty, and
there should be lots of action in the
contest. Gus TroXler will make no
mistake if he signs up Boonton for
another fight with some good local
boy right after the Monday night
show. The Kid and Jimmy McVeigh
would draw a big house, and they
would make a slashing bout.

of the Willie Ritchie-Freddy Welsh
fight in London, although it is 100
to shot that the American and the
Englishman will clash on that par
ticularly glorious day--to us. The ar
ticles call for the bout to be staged
between July and July IL, but this
is done to protect the promoters
When Ritchie heard that the Eng
lishmen wanted him to fight Welsh
on July 4 he laughed. THAT will be
a fine day to give that Briton a
trouncing," the champion said, "but
| can't understand why they have
picked out that day." he added
Neither can anyone else, and maybe
it won't be held on the Fourth, after
all, since the date just at present is
so indefinite.
If Ritchie is Richie once abroad,
he should beat Welsh, but 1 am in
clined to think that Willie hasn't been
himself for some time. 1t will be
wildly recalled that old has-been
Tommy Murphy gave Richie great
battle and a beating, that he did not
get over for several days. Richie
won, of course. Later on, Ritchie
fought Charley White. He received
another beating, and he also lost the
popular decision. With those two
''lickings" under his belt, he goes to
England to meet a very clever boxer
"a boxer who defeated him when
Willie was only kid, and novice
at the game, but who defeated him,
nevertheless AS to Welsh, he, too,
has been a sort of in-and-outer for
some time. He is a wonderfully
clever fellow, but he can't hit a lick,
vet he has a chance to outpoint
Richie, if Willie isn't right at himself.
The betting will favor the American
and the odds may be as good as 2
to l.

While Francis Ouimet, the Amer
lean amateur, who has qualified for
the British open golf championship,
feels that Harry Vardon, who Oui-
met defeated over here in our open
championship along with Edward
Ray, will be the winner, he says he
thinks he will be among the first
twenty, which would be a fine show
ing indeed. Ouimet thinks that Vardon
will win because he is such q steady
bn a1c crf,r n
royal chance. He speaks we'll OF
Duncan and Braid, and he doesn't
| forget to say kind word about Ray
| Americans are hoping that Ouimet
will do well. He is a youngster OF
/ twenty and his brilliant golfing has
won him high praises here and
abroad. He failed in the big English
amateur tourney, but ne won the
French championship and now he is
in the biggest golf competition in the
world.
O.
Jerry Travers, who has beaten Oui-
met, but who golfed so poorly in the
amateur championship over in Eu-
rope, admits he had nerves" which
accounts for his poor showing. OF
all golfers to have NERVES" Travers
would be the very last one suspected
of such an ailment, for it was his
steady play and his great nerve that
has won him so many championships
and that has made him the greatest
amateur, we would say. in this coun-
try. But now that Jerry has nerves, -
and admits it, perhaps we will have
to look to Oulmet to uphold our
American standard of golf. Travers
