fight Johnny Ekilbane, the champion,
for almost nothing, but Patsy de-
clares Kilbane won't even give him a
tumble. After all his year sof fight
ing Kline says he has little to show
for it, and admits he has been badly
handled throughout his career. Patsy
has only himself to blame in this re-
spect, for he was advised years ago
to take change of scenery. He was
very good then and he might have
been a champion now if he could have
seen a little farther ahead.

Tom Messenger has arranged with
Irish Mahon to look after that boys
business in the future. Under Mes
senger's wing Mahon should do we'll
Tom has several bouts in view for
Mahon, and he is thinking of match
ing him against Patsy Kline. OF
course, all he will have to do is to say
the word. and Kline will be ready.
There may be a hitch over the weight.
Messenger says he is going to confine
Mahon's opponents to 122 pounds. and
Kline would require considerable time
In which to make that poundage.
For while. though. Messenger is
likely to look around for softer game
than Kline, and that is just where
Patsy's hard luck comes in. Messen-
ger is in New York today in confer
ence with several club promoters. and
he expects to have lots of work for
his fighters In a few days.

Manager Messenger IS delighted
with the way Charley Weinert is
working for his bout with Johnny
Howard. to be held next Tuesday
night at Browns Gym. in New York.
The boy is doing most of his work in
the Orange Y. NJ. c. A. gymnasium,
and swimming, at which he is par
tioularly proficient, is part of his
training stunts. Weinert, according
to Messenger. will be in great shape
when he enters the ring against
Howard. and Tom says he expects
Charley to give Johnny more
artistic drubbing than he gave him
in their previous bout.
Il look to see Welnert whip Howard
to a standstill," Messenger said,
land | wouldn't be a bit surprised If
Charley stopped him before the ten
round limit"
Tho Ell. Af,1;
son Square Garden was a corker, but
Weinert won by q large margin. In
one round-the .second--Howard
landed at least u dozen punches on
Weinerts jaw, but he weathered the
session like sailor and came back
like gamester in the next round and
went into the lead. 1t was said at the
time In behalf of Howard that he was
not in shape for such a hard battle, !
and believe such was the case Now,
though, he can have no excuses, and
we will look for great bout next
Tuesday night.

From every viewpoint it looks as
if Weinert is the coming man in the
heavyweight class. He is getting
bigger every day, and now weighs
about rs pounds. He is n wise boy, |
and he is very clever with his left |
hand. He is not so nifty with his
right hand, but he is picking up
rapidly. After the Howard fight, |
Messenger is going to send Weinert |
up against any heavyweight who de-
sires to take him on. Tom is also
going to fix up a training quarters
where the kid may work without be-
ing disturbed. If all goes well, Mes
senger told me he would take Wei
merit over to Paris this summer. He |
would get big purse to fight Georges
Carpenter, who is the French idol |
and Weinert should be able to defeat
him.
