some boy at his weight he will make
things interesting. Will somebody
oblige?
Banty Lewis, your challenger, Jackie
Dobbs, is still waiting to hear from
you, and he still has that $50 reserved.
AS ever, SPORTIUS.
Q
Jack Coyne, at whom Kid Boonton
has been hurting challenges. steps
into the arena to state his side of the
case. Coyne, in a letter to me- says
that he has been on the sick list, but
now he is well again and is also ready
and willing to take up Boonton's detis.
This is the way Jack presents his
claims:
J. P. N:
am writing these lines to let you
know that l am ready to meet any
of the Jersey llghtweights. had an
operation on my nose, but I am now
over that. If Kid Boonton wants to
meet me Tom O'Rourke will stage us
at his next show in the National
Sporting Club. think we would draw
a big Jersey crowd, and Boonton
would fight to a high-priced house. If
Boonton wants to box at Browns
Gymnasium l will meet him there for
big side bet or winner take all. The
best weight l could do would be 1876
pounds at o'clock on the day of the
bout. Yours, JACK COY NE.
Coyne is a clever boxer and he has
/ won a number of important battles.
He is a classy fellow 'off the stage"
and has a host of admirers. He
stands well with Tom O'Rourke, who
will put him on before his club
any time there is match in
sight. AS for Boonton, the kid seems
willing to fight Coyne, but he says
Jack isn't much of a drawing card.
If that is so, 1t is unusual, for boxers
from the Oranges draw big as a gen.
eral thing. Anyway Boonton IS
matched to fight Jimmy McVeigh at
Gus Troxler's next Monday night, but
he says he will meet Coyne if Jack
| produces a side bet, which Coyne
seems willing to do.

Even the schoolboys are fighting
over sports, and one of them makes
some rash statements and even wants
to bet money. AS the old folks used

A number of people claim that
Cook. of South Side High School, can
beat opposite, of Central. Such
statement is ridiculous. The starter
at the Newark High Schools Athletic
Association games had 1t fixed up
with Cook, and sent the men away TO

can beat opposite, I am willing to

opposite can beat him at rs or 100
yards any day that Cook is ready.
