Newark evening star and Newark advertiser. [volume] (Newark, N.J.) 1909-1916, 1914-03-21

Just as soon as it IS determined
where Lewis and Mahon stand, Kline
will know where he comes in. If
Banty and Irish fail to come to terms.
then who will be the one to tackle
Kline? Mahon says he would like to
wait awhile before meeting Patsy and
Lewis is not rum g around looking
for a match with Kline. Both Mahon
and Lewis seem to be timid about
lighting Patsy, yet 1t would appear,
Banty would have an easier time
against Kline than they would
against one another. The day was
when Mahon and Lewis would not be
match in any way for Patsy, but
either one of them would give him
all he wants today, Kline is not
clever and he has only left hand
swing to consider. He tires badly
as a general thing after a few rounds,
and strong young men like Lewis and
Mahon, who are clever enough to
avoid that swinging left hand OF
Patsys, should he able to come on
in the last half Of the battle and more
than hold Their own.

From the following letter it would
seem that Mickey Donley is willing
to fight Banty Lewis, although il
was understood that Donley was
willing TO wait awhile before branch
ing out into such fast company:

You stated in your sport Topics
last night that "Donley thinks he car
beat Lewis, but is not sure enough
TO take a chance" j. j. N, / don't
like to contradict you, but you have
evidently been misled Donley is not
only willing but anxious to battle
with the much talked of Banty.'
AS to weight, Mickey could make Il:
pounds and would concede two ant
one-half pounds to Lewis. DonleS

Local fight fans are delighted at
the prospects OF a battle In which
Banty Lewis. Irish Mahon and Patsy
Kline will figure one way or the
other. Just now it looks as if the
first bout in which these little fell
lows will indulge will have Lewis and
Mahon as opponents. The hackers OF
these men have become quite active,
and there Is promise that out or the
discussion as to the respective merits
OF the men most interesting battle
will materialize. AS match it would
be a corker. but some of the very
wise boys around the corner seem
to think that Mahon is a little FOO
much for Lewis. However, that
doesn't always prove the rule. Lewis.
in his bout with Kid Boonton, showed
that he has class, and there is no
reason why Banty should be afraid
OF any boy who can make 122 pounds
ringside. Lewis himself should know
best as to how he would figure with
Mahon. He has fought him once.
and the boys say that Irish had
the better of the milling. Lewis will
probably give the proposed match
more than the "once over" but for
my part, / would like to see the men
in battle. It would be fight worth
seeing, and the New York Club that
gets 1t will pack the house to the
doors

New York. and he can almost name

Browns Jack Mccarthy, the match
maker. named several men that Wei
merit could fight. Among them were

finally selected for a bout for March

offered the match. However, who
Weinert's next opponent will be is up
to Messenger. Tom likes lots OF

asked me to advise him, but l told
him to make his own choice. He said
that Tom Messenger had been recon-
mended to him very highly as a man
ager, and later on he had talk with
Messenger. The men got together,
and hereafter Tom will look after the
interests of Weinert. Before taking
charge of the kid, Messenger dis
cussed the matter over the telephone
with Woodruff, and Percy told Tom
to go ahead and sign Weinert, as he
was through with the boxer. Messen-
ger had a long talk with Weinert, and
it is understood that the young man
will have to toe the mark in his train
ing. From what can learn, Weinert
is a hard worker when he has a bout
on. but when there is nothing in sight
he Is not inclined to do any training
In Messenger he will find stern
boss, but good boss. He will have
to train and he will have to fight and
he will find plenty to do, that is a
certainty.
