called Coyne's bluff, and that Jack
didn't have a single comeback. Boon
ton, Benedetto says, would be only
too pleased to fight Coyne, but he
insists that Jack will have to put up
side bet on the outcome.
Mr.. Dixon, Coynes manager, writes
Special Delivery. Hirsh at the Broad
way Sporting Club, in Brooklyn, on
June 10. Among other things, Man
ager Dixon has the following to say:
Although Coyne is not yet twenty
two years old, he has taken part in
over seventy-six fights, and has yet
to be knocked off his feet While out
West Coyne defeated Battling Terry,
Red Robinson, Stoney Ritz, Sammy
Trott. Johnny Griffiths and others,
and was a great drawing card. Coyne
has height and extraordinary reach
for lightweight, and is confident that
he can beat any boy in that division.
When he was West offers were made
by him to Jack Redmond, Earl Fisher
Chip, but they all stated that Coyne
was too tough a boy for them. This
is no bluff, as the statement was
made in a telegram. Coyne will make
1876 pounds at 3 o'clock for anybody,
and wants to call Kid Boonton s
bluff. After the Hirsh bout Coyne
will go right on fighting them all as
they come along"
That's what Coyne's manager says.
ami we expect him to make good
when Boonton crowds Jack into
making a match.
g
Joe Benedetto, manager of Kid
Boonton, is some "spieler'' with his
pen, and if the Kid is ever able to
fight as well as his manager can
write, the lightweight championship
would not be such hard goal to
reach. The letter:
]. P. N:
To say that I was surprised to read
Jack Coyne's letter in your Sport
Topics is to put it mildly | believe
he is four-fushing, and has not the
slightest intention of meeting my
protege, Kid Boonton, any more than
moon. If he really means business,
let him come down to earth and stop
his high talk about meeting any
Lightweight in the game. Let him talk
business in a business-like way. Any
man who has to weigh in at 1873
pounds at 8 o'clock would make a
mistake by taking anyone heavier
than a paperweight. for a heavier man
might make him lose. Why not box
in his own class-the welterweight
| division? But if he will live up to his
word, made week ago, and put
some money up to make the match,
we will let him weigh in at 1876 pounds
| ringside, We are anxious for the
match.
l am at sea regarding the match
with Banty Lewis. Is he and the
Happy Rambler asleep, or is it a case
of cold feet?" Professor Troxler has
| that easy 1925 to hand him as soon as
he enters the ring. I have been wait
| ing patiently for the good news an
| nouncing that he has accepted the
! match
Ten seconds after the Evening Star
| arrives in Orange every day, l am
| looking in your sport Topics" to see
| if Lewis has accepted. But my wait
! ing seems to be in vain. l guess he
! never thought we would call his bluff.
We are still waiting, Banty, so either
| back out or accept:
JOE BENEDETTO.
Coyne and Lewis, it is up to you to
| protect your good pugilistic name.

Billy Telescos manager comes back
short and sweet at Young Herman'S
criticism, as follows:
j. P. N:
wish to state, in answer to Young
! Hermans criticism of Mr.. Hamilton
letter of the 14th, that neither
Billy Telesco's brother nor his man
ager is acquainted with Mr.. Hamil.
ton. We thank the latter for attend
ing the bout and for his honest de.
cision. Telesco did not complain
when the decision was given. Regard
ing the statement that Herman was
not in condition, 1t seems strange thai
he fought preliminary on the fifth OF
the month at Browns Gymnasium II
New York. A return bout should
settle all the losers statements. Re
specially yours,
WILLIAM BRADY,
Manager of Telesco.
Letters setting forth Young Her
mans side of the argument hav,
reached this office, and the one from
Young Herman is written on two side
of paper. If the fighter himself will
drop in and give a few hours t.
copying his letter it will be published
Such a great fighter as Herman ough
to know that letters written on on,
side of the paper only are published
