! the four rounds all you could see
was McVeigh handing out light taps,
which were harmless and should not
count, and did not amount to any
thing. Any one will agree with me
that one smash of Bantys was worth
fifty taps of McVeigh.
/ think MeNeigh has respect TOT
Lewis over the ten-round route, ana
l for one will back Banty for SlVo
side wager at 126 pounds, ringside,
that Banty will beat McVeigh. l
have heard from a few friends OF
McVeigh that Jimmy can not make
1876 pounds How Is it his handlers
claimed on the night McVeigh tought
Lewis that Jimmy weighed l2s
pounds, and l think it will be an
easy matter for him to take off three
pounds. Banty is so sure be can
beat McVeigh IN ten rounds that ne
will bet his end of the purse on the
outcome. JACK MURRAY.
As a friend of Lewis, you do well
to stick up for him, but your sug-
gestion that McVelgh make 126
pounds is evidence that you are not
very anxious to bet your $780, An
other fight would be interesting.
