about Patsy Kline and Irish Mahon
and Banty Lewis and Mickey Donley,
but I don't see much in the papers
about Young Sully.''
You're right" said friend-or
perhaps he was a manager-who ac-
companied the modest Sully on his
mission for publicity.
Il will fight any featherweight that
breathes,' Sully continued, but no
one will give me a show"
at is too bad" l said, sorrowfully
"also a shame, that you should be
treated So"
The modest Sully agreed with me-
Then he went on to say that he
wanted to fight-wanted to fight Kline
and Mahon and Lewis and Donley-
anybody, in fact, who could make his
weight. And on top of this broad
sword of challenge Anthony Ray,
the manager of the young man who
is being abused, stated that he would

Perhaps, gentle reader, you have
heard the expression, Why is a mana
ger? Well, to be frank with you,
manager is an angel" and an "angel"
produces the money required to make
bet, or make bluff, as the case may
be. This particular manager has $50
to bet and that's why the modest
Sully allows him to pal around. But,
manager or no manager, Ray did lit
tie of the talking. He was there to
produce, if the bluff was called. Sully
was the spokesman.

If Sully forgot anything he was 60
ing to say about himself, he might
send it along in a letter He could beat
Banty Lewis sure and after that he
would beat the others. His manager,
Mr.. Ray. would back him up with the
coin of the realm. His address is 1870
Ferry street, this city. Now, boys, go
easy after that fifty. You know the
gentleman only said he would bet it..
He didn't give any written guarantee
to that effect.

Well, Sully, we give you credit, but
you would probably get a high old
whipping if you stacked up against
Lewis. Seems to be that Banty is
the mark used by budding scrappers

prints. Everybody who can do around
122 pounds and thinks he can fight
wants to meet Lewis, and whether
these self-same Would-be scrappers
the case of Sully, it is said that he
can scrap a bit, and when Banty is
through with his important fight with
Irish Mahon he will likely give the
young man hearing. Lewis's
troubles come because of his popu-
larity. He has many friends and he
attracts large crowds, and the boy
ION the other end" is always sure to
get a fair piece of money--and gen.

| Lewis. having signed articles to fight
Mahon at Bill Browns gym April %
has settled down to early hours
and hard training. Banty realizes
that in Mahon he has q very tough
customer, and he knows he will have
to be in great form on the occasion
of their bout to hold his own at all.
Mahon, surely, is better boxer than
| Lewis, and he can hit a harder blow.
The one offset that Banty has for
| these advantages is aggressiveness-
q bold, desperate aggressiyeness.
| That is his only show, it would seem.
If he stands and boxes, Mahon will
| beat him to the punch, and if he
| backs up Mahon will leather him
| around the ring. If Lewis is to show
at all it will be in a determined stand
to force matters. Otherwise his goose
| will be cooked.
