boasts another boxer in the person of
Fred Massey, who, when in condition,
tips the scales at 1875 pounds. Massey
seeks recognition and he is out with
a challenge to meet any of the boys
in his class around here. He would
meet Kid Boonton. and, in fact, he Is

Monday night. Massey has been in
the game only four years, but he has
been a professional only short time.
He has won many battles and his only

of Patsy Brown, who knocked him out

Welsh, OF Bayonne; Dennis McFad

Dobbs didn't win from Danahey.
That started the riot, and manager,
brother, fighter all same tripping
down to this office to set the matter
right Jackie Dobbs, of course, was
the most concerned. He felt badly
over the matter. He said he had
beaten Danahey beyond question, and
declared that there We're numerous

were sore on him and who would
stoop very low to rob him of his hard
earned reputation. And as to reputa-
ton, Dobbs said he had boxed all the
held his own with such clever fellows
! as Lewis. Mahon and Kline. He could
punch. he said, and he was fairly
clever, he admitted, but fate seemed
to be always putting him up against
boys much larger than himself. He
said he knew he had class and he felt
