over Howard Morrow in their ten
round bout before the Federal A. c.
In New York. yesterday afternoon. h'
didn't add anything to his reputation
as a fighter. The contest was mis-
cradle affair, in which only one rea
hard blow was struck. The spectators
many of whom left the clubhouse
while the mill was on, booed and ridi'
culed the contestants. There hasn't
been any clamor for a return match.
@
Battling Levinsky Is evidently goina
back. The best he could get In his
fight with Porky Flynn yesterday was
a draw. Flynn is one OF the poorest
apologies OF a fighter in the business
and the fact that Levinsky could not
trim him is evidence that the Battler
Is not the fighter he used to be.

No one expected that Johnny Daily
would be anything moro than a
punching bag IN the hands of Kid
Williams, and those who went to the
| Pioneer A. c., In New York, yesterday
! afternoon, were not one bit disap-
pointed In the battle. Rather, If any
thing. they were surprised at the Won
derful display of gameness on the part
of DAILY, who took beating that made
strong men turn their heads. VIII
! las, as fast as he Is and as clever as
he is, seems to lack the punch. He
tried hard to stop DAILY, but he
couldn't do It. He fought the ten
rounds at top speed. and he didn't
even have his well-combed hair
mussed. He is the best OF the little
fellows, and there doesn't appear to
be anyone IN sight to thwart his
championship.
Joe shugrue will have good claim
on the lightweight championship II
he wins from Charley White, of Chi
cago, at Madison Square Garden next
Tuesday night. Shugrue bested Fred
die Welsh beyond dispute In their
recent bout, but White also has
victory over Welsh to his credit
Thus we have a champion who has
been bested by two contenders, but
who still holds his title To the
credit OF Welsh, ne has been a willing
fellow and he has risked his cham
pionship against the best boys In the
ring. He fought so often and has
Travelled so much that he became
stalls and he IL we'll entitled to an
alibi. He is resting now and will
not enter the ring for a few weeks,
He expects TO meet Shugrue and
White later on and he promises to
give them a whipping. But as to
Shngrue and White. the interest in
the outcome of their bout is very
keen. On their own two fights and
on their battles with Champion
Welsh. shugrue appears to have the
call. He is the favorite with ths
eastern fans. but It is said that
Whites western followers will back
him TO the limit II should be great
bout II White Is as willing 90 mix
It as shugrue.
o
Charley Weinert is training right
along these days and he is fit to
fight at short notice. He may be
called upon at any time now. as Jim
my Johnston, his manager, has sew
eral matches IN the wind. Weinert
may get Jim Flynn and ne may get
jim Coffey. but the man Charley
wants is Gunboat Smith, who. since
he beat Tom McCarty. is looming up
again as a top-notcher. Weinert is
willing to fight anybody and he has
told Johnston 60. This means that
there will be something doing before
long.
O.
KID Boonton says in a letter 20 me
that he has caught on IN Cleveland
and that the fans who have seen him
work out In gymnasium think he is
the coming man" The kid Ia a bit
lonesome, but he Will be all right
after he has his first bout. He is
scheduled 70 meet Cal Delaney in
Akron, o., and he will have to make
his reputation on that bout. Boxing
In Cleveland, Boonton says, will soon
be IN full swing, and then he expects
to get all the work he wants. for he
has made many friends there, accord
ing TO his letter.

Banty Lewis is enjoying rest. but
It will not be long before he is seen
in fighting toys again. Lewis has
a large following and he draws well.
Bill Brown, the New York promoter,
is always willing to put Banty on at
his famous gym. and II is about time
that Brown figured out q card in
" hich Newark boys will be the con-
testants. Lewis and Jimmy McVeigh
would draw well over In Browns, and
although both boys are very friendly
they would not object to such a bout
Other attractive bouts with local tai
ent could be arranged, and while
things are dead In Newark Bill
Brown should get on the Job.

But how long are things going to
oe dead in Newark? That Is a ques-
ton that is being asked every day
by Newarkers who have patronized
and enjoyed the shows staged by
Professor Gus Troxler for tho last
ten years or so. There Is really a
clamor for those Troxler bouts, and
everybody who knows how well the
entertainments were conducted says
II Is a shame they were not per-
