Billy used to give members of the
gang Jobs on the nights on which
boxing shows were held, but an ennis
sary from Johnston informed the boys
that there wasn't any jobs for them.
Two hours later, when they were
Thoroughly convinced that there was
''notin' doin',9 the boys disappeared
in the enveloping darkness. Later
came the profesh''-fighters, man
ayers, trainers and the time-worn
hangers-on who horn in at every
show There was greater consterna-
ton when they learned that the ''pro-
fesh'' was not to be recognized by tho
new show manager. Some paid to get
| in, while others skunk away, declar-
ing that the day would never come
when they would separate themselves
from any coin to see fight in New
| York. Even the great teaches Cross
was turned down, and teaches will
probably be long time recovering
from the shock. Turn teaches down!
My, that was absolutely preposter-
ousl Dressed like a Piccadilly dasher,
teaches, jauntily swinging cane,
stepped over to Charley Harvey, who
was making himself known through
thick pane of glass to the man in
side the ticket window.
Get my tickets, will you, Mr.. Har-
vey?" requested teaches.
your tickets!'' retorted Harvey.
"why, there isn't even any here for
me-"
However, Mr.. Harvey, who is the
secretary of the New York State Box
ing Commission, secured his tickets
and passed through the long line OF
gas pipes leading to the bull ring,
leaving teaches to decide whether
he would be a real sport at 81 per
ticket or pike it in the gallery.
teaches finally decided to purchase a
So seat to see the show.

Getting into the Garden last night,
after tickets were secured, was not
fraught with the hardships and dis
comfiture of former times. There were
turnstiles just inside the storm-doors,
and Just outside of the storm-doors
an officer demanded a slant at the
passports of the patrons before per-
hitting them to reach the inner
breastwork of pipes. It was we'll con-
ceived and was erected especially for
the New York six-day race, last night
being the first time the pipe line"
was given a trial. This, too, was sad
news to the guerillas who make the
Garden entrance a jungle that the
bravest explorers tremble to enter
during the six-day race.

Young Cardell has two managers,
and one of these wants him to fight
Patsy Kline and the other advises him
not to. A letter from the manager
who is urging the battle follows:
New York, Nov. 2, 1914.
How is it that Patsy Kline continues
| TO sidestep Young Cardell? Every
time Cardeli challenges Patsy he
comes up with some new excuse or
makes certain unreasonable demands.
Now that Cardell has again chal-
lenged Kline for about the 500th time
and the Olympic Club has agreed to
stage the bout, Patsy makes these de-
mands:
"a That Cardell weigh 122 pounds
ringside.
suit.
That certainly is going some, 122
pounds ringside! All right, Cardell
will make 122 pounds if Kline will do
the same. 1t is known fact that
Kline Is 12S to 1870 pounds. He fights
| lightweights and heavy feathers all
the time. Cardell will fight him at 122
or catchweights and bet the $3.50 Kline
demands. Now it is up to Kline. We
have agreed to all his terms and he
must make good or take q back seat
| Yours truly,
| A. ]. DIXON,
| Manager Young Cardell.
Kline generally laughs when it is
suggested that he fight Cardell. How
ever, it is up to Patsy, who, by the
way, is not anywhere near as heavy
as you suggest.
A correspondent suggests that box
ing be Iegalized in this State and has
something else to say about the game
as follows:
Harrison, Nov. 2, 1914.
j. p. NJ:
! It is with profound interest that the
sporting public of this vicinity well
comes the revival of the boxing game,
IT, lie to- ff,A .rean 40
clean and free from the undesirable
element which frequents the shows
will be appreciated, by sport-loving
fans. The boxing game, which has
been lifted out of the class into which
1t has fallen in the past few years,
cannot exist if there are to be follow
ers who are persistent in placing the
game in a bad light. The gentlemen
who are promoting the shows in this
vicinity are all reliable and fair-mind
ed men and are DESTROYS of receiving
the encouragement and patronage of
sports who will cooperate with them
in elevating the game.
1t seems too bad that boxing cannot
be legalized and a commission APP
pointed by the State, as in the case OF
New York and other states 1t should
be taken as a sport and not a tolera-
ton. as some critics seem to view it.
But boxing will never die, despite the
efforts of the belligerents to degrade
and misrepresent the game that has
received the Endorsement of Theodore
Roosevelt and other celebrities
Thanking you in advance l remain
Yours in sport,
BOXING ADVOCATE.
