are sure to show in the ring. Kurtz,
perhaps, has the larger following and
the Happy Ramblers will be out to
root for him. Lewis is a much i'm

cleverer and knows the game so
much better, it is difficult to see
where the Kid fits in. However,
Boonton is becoming very ''cocky,"
and he feels that he has nothing 10
fear from any of the lightweights.
He thinks he will best McVeigh, and
he declares he will surprise those
who saw him fight Banty Lewis not
long ago by his wonderful improve
mcnt. Boonton may have improved
and all that, but McVeigh is a real
fellow and will likely teach the Kid
how TO behave when he meets him
in the ring. For the Boonton bout,
Mickey O'Brien, trainer, will act as
McXeighs manager, for it was
O'Brien who made the arrangements
for the contest. 1t will be interest

works out.
Kid Boonton hasn't made good his
boast that he would not only like to
fight Banty Lewis again, but that he
would give him 325 to make the
match. Lewis accepted the Boonton
proposition, but Boonton hasn't been
seen since, despite the fact that
| Banty is willing to meet the Kid at
any weight. Boonton said he was a
weak boy when he met Lewis the last
time, but Banty is going to make
sure that the Kid won't have a les
to stand on if they meet again. He
said he would allow Boonton to fight
at any weight, although he himself
