Orange, Feb. 20, 1914.
Boonton, l understand, is a pretty
good boy, and he gave Lewis, I'm
told, an artistic whipping in their last
bout But why not let Banty alone?
If he doesn't want to fight Boonton
for good reasons" that is his BUSH
ness. He is probably looking for
easier game.
If Kid Boonton and his friends are
after Banty Lewis, why, there Is
somebody right back after Kid Boon
ton. The challenge:

There have been numerous rumors
floating around Orange and vicinity
relative to a match between K d
BoontCn and Barney Mitchell.
Mitchell is at present under my
management, and nothing would suit
me better than to match my boy
with Boonton. I have learned from
good authority that Boonton has
passed several false remarks regard
ng Barney's ability as a fishter.
Now, if he really wants to fight, why
not talk business? My boy will fight
him at any weight he ment ons, be-
fore any club, over the ten-round
route or any other distance. and on
a winner-take- all basis. We have the
and 1t is up to Boonton's man
ager to cover It. He could not get
better terms than these from any,
body. Mitchell halls from the Unlimited
Stetes navy. and has fought some of
the best boys In the game,
Let it be stated that 1 also have
under my wing Billy Morrow, the
crack middleweight of Orange. who
is willing to meet any boy in the
game. In fact, he has matches pend
ing with some of the big New York
clubs at the present time. Both boys
in possession of the most essential
factor that a fighter could have-that
g. strong, healthy wsllop In ether
hand. Now let us hear from Boon
ton concerning this topic Thanking
you in nadvance, 1 remain, respect

Boonton should take on Mitchell,
for, from what can understand, 1t
Will be some time before Lewis will
care to give the Kid another battle.
Banty has had sufficient experience to

The manager of Jackie Dobbs has
so much to say In the following let
ter that we will not be able to make
much comment:
J. P. NJ:
N the interests OF my protege,
Jackie Dobbs, am writing you con-
{ ern4rg two things I would like to
set right before the fight fans of this
= ty In the first place, in your ac-
count of Jackies fight last Monday
night at Troxler's, you say that the
mill was q slow one and that Jackie
didn't show up at all. Conceding that
the bout was a poor one, 1 feel that,
In justice to Dobbs, the fans and
those friends of his who were not
at the affair, 1t might interest them
to know that it was no fault of
Jackie's that the bout wasn't a good
one. McFadden, who outweighed
Dobbs by at least six pounds, refused
absolutely to fight and continually
Rugged the Newarker, although he
was repeatedly warned by Referee
Walter Ross that If he (McFadden)
did not fight, he would be put out
Of the ring. Every one knows that
It takes two to make a fight. How
can man show at his best If his
opponent ref SEES to mix it, backing
away at long range and hugging at
close quarters? And, beauty of it all.
the referee knew this, and feel sure
il he we're called on for an opinion
he would tell you how he threatened
to put McFadden out of the ring II
he did not do better.
Now, what l object to, is that my
boy Dobbs should be the sufferer in
your article because of his opponents
short comings. Don't you think you
did him an injustice when you said
Dobbs did not do his best? AS l
have said before, Dobbs can whip
McFadden any time at any place.
Recently in a letter to the Morn
ing Star, Doc Sampson, manager Of
Ill III
could trim Dobbs and was willing to
bet any amount Dobbs could put up.
1t might interest the readers of the
Star to know when SIMPSONS bluff
was called he crawled and only after
a lot of joshing by a number of fight
followers did Sampson cover only one
fifth of the amount. Jackie trained
hard for this fight and was disap-
pointed at the outcome. Nothing
would please him more than return
bout as soon as possible, ten rounds
preferred. How about it, Sampson?
A rumor has gone the rounds that
Patsy K. o. Brown is out with a
challenge to fight Dobbs. Really in
these days of unemployment it's
no shame to take the money and Mr..
Brown can be accommodated immed-
lately and for a side bet. When I say
side bet, / mean it. I'm not four
flushing like most of the flock do.
Dobbs will meet Brown at, say 1873
pounds, anytime, any place, any num-
Der of rounds for any amount. How
about 1t, Professor Troxler? We're
ready to talk business Immediately.
Nuf sed. Yours in fightdom,
BOB TONAN.
Manager of Jackie Dobbs
"McFadden was awful and Dobbs
was almost as bad" is the way the
fight in question was explained to
me. In writing letters to this news
paper. please do not mention the
name of crap-shooters who use
crooked dice. 1t is we'll that they are
NOT In iail Let alone getting their
