Newark evening star and Newark advertiser. [volume] (Newark, N.J.) 1909-1916, 1914-10-26

Just a few words for your sport
ing page in regards to the bout be-
| tween Banty Lewis and Mickey Dom
ley.
Since these two boys have been
| matched l have heard q lot of talk
that there is so much money down
town to bet on Donley, but no Lewis
takers. ] wish to state that every
time Banty has a bout on / always
hear of thousands of dollars to be
bet against him, but I have never
been able to see any of il with my
own eyes. The first time Banty
fought Boonton ten rounds I also
heard of thousands of dollars OF
Boonton money that was floating
around in every corner downtown.
1t was even told to me that Boon
| toms manager and some of his
friends in Orange would bet on his
chances the small sum of $4,000 or
over. came down to your office to
meet Boonton's manager and bet him
few pennies but no manager APP,
| peared.
Then | was told there were a few
million dollars of Boonton money in
Patsy Kline's saloon. [ was not a.
bit slow, and went there looking for
IT, but | almost lost my eyesight
looking for it, / couldn't even find
hve-dollar bet Why Patsy himself
told me that there was a man from
Montclair who wanted to bet $500,
and that he would be around again
the next day. / am still waiting for
that mysterious man.
Now, ]. P. NJ, if YOU care TO pub
fish 1t In your columns you can let
some of those sports know that they
can find 500 of Banty money
at 237 Springfield avenue, and they
know that the lunch man never backs
out. Respectfully yours,
CHARLES GUTTERMAN

Dan McKetrick is back from
Europe with Young Ahearn on his
staff and he is hot-foot after all the
middleweights. McKetrick, in dis
cussing Ahearn, also takes crack
at Gunboat Smith, who ran out" of
a fight with Ahearn when on the
other side of the ocean. The letter
setting forth McKetriclS's views fol-
lows:
J. P. NJ:
Young Ahearn, who returned here
from Europe about a month ago, is
now thoroughly aocIimated. and ready
to meet any middleweight in the
world. Ahearn created a sensation
last year in France and England,
and after winning the middleweight
championship of Europe, was
matched to meet Carpenter for a
purse of $4,000. The European war
caused postponement of this con-
test, for Carpenter had to join the
colors, Gunboat Smith was substi-
tuted, but he suddenly developed
severe attack of trapped hoof, and
returned to America. Ahearn fol-
lowed him here, but Levinsky and
Langford beat the Dancing Master
to it. Ahearn, being the legitimate
champion middleweight of Europe,
must be taken into consideration be-
fore any of the American contenders
can style themselves worlds middle
weight champion. Ahearn is ready
to fight Mccoy. This also goes for
the other contenders, such as Chip,
Clabby, Dillon, McGoorty or Gibbons.
Yours very truly.
DAN McKBTRIeK.
New York. Oct. %.
The rise of Ahearn has been mar
velous. He fought over here as Il
featherweight and lightweight, but
he couldn't break an egg with one
of his punches. He went to Europe,
developed into a middleweight and
now has punch that puts his OPP
ponents to sleep. There Is sure TO
be desire to see him fight again in
this country.
