is going to open boxing school in
his Harrison emporium and it may.
be that Banty will in time become
one of the teachers.
O.
Lewis is not boastful of his victory
and had nothing but words of sym
pathy for McVeigh. He said that
Jimmy was a boy about like himself
and took good care of his home. He
also said that McVeigh would find
that being knocked out would prove
somewhat of a setback, but he hoped
Jimmy would come pack soon and
get right into the limelight. He would
so meet him again. and in ten
round bout, but he would insist on
MoVeigh making f2s pounds ringside
That weight. it is said. is possible
for Jimmy to scale, for without try
ing he was only 129 pounds ringside
last Friday night. Lewis has other
irons in the fire, and easier ones. no
doubt SO he will probably pass Up
McVeigh for while He has
match or two on, but when the
clamor for return engagement with
McNeigf comes around, Banty is sure
to give his old opponent another
chance. McVeigh, in the meantime.
is content to rest on his oars and
endeavor to forget all about his bat
tie with Lewis.
&
Though the rivalry was keen be-
tween the followers of the fighters.
there hasn't been single squabble
as result of the contest. Ray Nc
Carrick, who trains McVeigh and
really looks after his interests, came
to the Evening Star office with q
message from jimmy
"McVeigh wants to say" McCarrick
ventured, that he hasn't a complaint
in the world to make. He was III
good shape, and he was beaten fair
~. We don't want another match
right away, and Jimmy isn't going to
put on the gloves until he has had
time to forget all about his fight with
Lewis. Then he will challenge Banty,
and I guess Banty will give Jimmy
return engagement"

The Kisses showered upon Kid
wasn't in order at all, and came
about because Boonton had refused
to make a match with Joe Cassidy
companion of Mcveigh. In the first
place, Boonton is managed by Jimmy
Johnston and he would have to con-
suit his boss first, and another thing
Cassidy is too big for the Kid The
man who Boonton wanted to meet
was Mcveigh, and the declaration
by one of Jimmys followers that lie
will never fight McVeigh until he
first meets Cassidy will not worry
Boonton any. McVeigh, with a
knockout by Lewis hanging on his
head. may be delighted to get on d
match with Boonton in order TO
somewhat redeem himself, but since
there has been SO much fuss made
about the matter perhaps Boontofi
will turn Jimmy down when he asks
for chance and he will be justified
in doing so. The trouble with Nc
Weigh is he has too many advisers.
He might not have been knocked out
with one adviser less in his corner
when he met Lewis.
O.
SO far the Bay Views have held
two shows and ii is said that they
are just about even. They lost
money on the first show and, al
the house was packed Fri
day night and patrons turned away,
the club made only 800, it is
claimed. 1t is the old story--the
fighters get all the money. The Bay
View house is too small and so are
the prices, especially for such an
important bout as the Lewis Nc
Weigh affair These boys, in action.
are worth 81 of any mans money.
There must be a jinx somewhere in
that stable Down Neck Both Ed
and Mcveigh came from
there and both have met defeat at
the Bay View shows. Cassidy is
one and he fights Jack
Coyne there on October Q. The
must be a friend OF the
family.
The Billy Maxwell who is going to
fight Charley weinert at the Broad
way Sporting Club in Brooklyn to-
morrow night is said to be pretty
good fellow. He halls from Philadel-
phia, and is credited with victory
over Frank Mantell, who has fought
some of the best big fellows around
here. weinert is expected to win, of
and he is going to be nursed
along until it comes time to meet one
of the top notchers. He wants to fight
Battling Levinsky again and he
would fight Gunboat Smith to-mor-
row. Smith, it is said, isn't anxious
to tackle Weinert, and he has de-
manded a guarantee of $4,000. The
Club will eventually stage
the bout, for John Weisentel, the club
owner, is also doing business for Wei
merit. and he would have his share
coming both ways.
O.
Though Weinert seems TO be most
formidable fellow and a brilliant
