of Jackie is all bosh and that he
would like nothing easier in his class
He will meet Dobbs any time, he
says, and he is going to ask his
manager to arrange such contest.
| OF course, Johnston will wait to
match Boonton with some boy over
in New York who has a reputation
and who can command public atten-
Dobbs the chance he is looking for.
c.
Young Kurtz is back in town. He
looks very fit and says he has been
training up in the country. He took
trip to Albany, looking for fight,
but there was no one around the New
York State capital who was a match
for him. However he made arrange
ments while in Albany to box there
later on. Kurtz says he has been
reading in the Evening Star all about
Jack Palmer's claim to the New Jer-
sey welterweight championship, but
he doesn't think much of Palmer or
his class. Kurtz says he will fight
Palmer four rounds at Troxler's, and
if Jack makes a respectable showing
| he will take him on for ten rounds
! draw anything in New York, Kurtz
contended, and it would be foolish for
4 them to fight over there. Anyway,
! Kurtz declared that he didn't believe
that Palmer could get a bout on in
Gotham unless he showed he could
| fight and attract some persons to the
club house. Palmer can have a bat
tie. Kurtz says, just as soon as he is
able to persuade some promoter to
stage the engagement.
| @
| Claiming the welterweight title of
! New Jersey is becoming the habit.
to show where his scrapper fits in:
J. P. N:
In looking over the Evening Star
/ ] noticed a letter in which a Mr..
| Dixon claimed the welterweight
championship of the State for his
protege, Jack Palmer. Mr. Dixon
says that his man was only defeated
once, and that was by Bert Stanley.
Now. in the first place, Palmer
couldn't make the welterweight
poundage unless he cut a leg off, and
I doubt whether he could make it
then. Secondly, Mr.. Dixon ought to
put his thinking cap on when he says
that Palmer has been defeated only
once. Jack Goode, the local welter-
weight, has defeated Palmer on three
different occasions, outpointing him
in two of the fights, and stopping him
in the third of the other bout, which
came off at the Central Institute
Goode can make 145 pounds ringside
and is the only logical opponent OF
Dave Kurtz for the welterweight
title. Palmer has no right to meet
Kurtz unless he first fights 0Oode
and Jack Goode would sooner fight
him. than eat. Yours truly,
MICKEY DELL,
Manager of Jack Goode.

Baltimore wants Patsy Kline to fight
down there again, but If Patsy consents
be guaranteed that the promoters will
not "tie his hands" or compel him tc
use pillows instead of gloves Wher
Kline fought CLANCY before Pats,
claimed that he didn't have much
chance to beat him, but II he fight:
him again conditions must be differ.
emit He will demand $1,000 for his
share and he will insist that the regu.
lation five-ounce gloves be used.
Although the sporting editor of tn,
Baltimore News went into a frenz,
over statements made by Kline after
his fight down there with Clancy NJ
effort, apparently, has been made t.
get at the true facts in the case
Kline declared his share of the purs,
was held by person not connected
with the club before where the me1
fought, and that he would not hay,
received a penny if he had knocked
out CLANCY. He also said that eight
ounce gloves We're used. and Kiln,
produced the gloves to prove what h,
said was the truth. These fact
were put up to the sporting editor o
| the Baltimore News, who seemed t,
| be very much agitated over the mat
| ter, but he has never been able to dis
pute them. Instead, Kline is bein,
roasted for exposing the match.
@
| Kline is not the culprit, if what h.
says is true, and the Baltimore scribe
have been utterly unable to deny
single one of Patsy's statements
| There were three things connecte,
with the Kline-Chaney fight tina
/ looked suspicious. One reason wa
/ the fact that an outsider held Kline
share Of the purse. This is unusual
/ Why? Another reason is that eight

customary to use five-ounce gloves
Why? And still another reason /
