Kid Boonton and his brother-in-l law,
Charley Picciuta, visited the Evening
Star office yesterday and impaired the
news that the Kid wasn't under the
management of Joe Beneditto any
more. Besides, Boonton was anxious
to get New York manager, and l
gave him letter to Jimmy Johnston,
who is one of the live wires over in
Gotham Why the split-up between
Boonton and his manager, the Kid
didn't say. over the phone, later,
however, Beneditto declared he had
quit Boonton because the Kid wouldn't
do what he was told. Beneditto said
he had matched Boonton against
Jackie Dobbs, but that the Kid
wouldn't fight, but he also said that
in his opinion Jimmy McVeigh wasn't
anxious to meet Boonton.
LAS to Boonton and McVeigh," Ben
editto said. "one is afraid of the other,
but McVeigh really ran out of the
match"

yesterday that the University of

Boonton seems very desirous of
fighting McVeigh and he said yester-
day that he had signed to meet Jimmy
at Bill Browns on July 81, but that
McVeigh insisted on side bet This,
Boonton said, he could not do, as he
didn't have any manager at the pres
ent time. The Kid declared there
was lot of hot air. about him fight
ing McVeigh. He said he read where
he was matched to fight Jimmy on
July and again on July Is, but that
he never knew a thing about these
matches. He admitted, though, that
he had signed to fight McVeigh on the
21st, but Jimmy wouldn't box him,
unless he made a side bet and this
he found himself unable to do.
."At first, McVeigh wanted to bet
500 and my former manager, Joe Ben
editto, said he would back me. Then
McVeigh raised the wager to $3.50. but
now that l have lost my manager,
why 1 suppose the match is off,"

This side bet proposition OF Nc
Weigh is a peculiar angle to take.
In the first place, there is no satis-
factory way of deciding the winner.
1t is claimed that Mcyeigh feels that
he cannot get enough money to pay
him for his services out of a fight
with Boonton because the Kid isn't
strong enough attraction. Be that as
it may, McVeigh cannot expect his
opponents to gamble with him In a
side bet, especially when no decision
is rendered by the referee. Boonton
says he is willing to fight McVeigh
and thinks he can whip him. Some
pretty good judges who witnessed
their last bout claim that Jimmy had
about as tough job on his hands
as he was able to take care of. Just
how the match for Browns on July
81 stands is not known, but If Boon
ton hooks up with Manager Johnston
1t is likely that his mentor will spring
the Kid with someone else in New
York.

Instead of putting something over
on organized baseball, President Fultz,
of the Players Fraternity, seems
to have pulled the biggest Barry of
the year. Fultz announced on Mon
day that the fraternity had scored its
point in the Clarence Kraft case and
that the player had been awarded to
Newark The details of the decision
were very vague and Fultz didn't
appear anxious to throw any light
on the subject. He said that Kraft
would play with Newark, and he
seemed to accept the matter as a big
victory for himself and his organiza-
ton. Now, however. It is different.
Kraft hasn't been awarded to New
ark by the National Commission and
there is no assurance that he will be.
If Clarence should again join the
Tigers, it will probably be as the re-
suit of a trade. Nashville owns the
player and Nashville wants him.

Harry Kaiser is to be the next
amateur champion unless some
terrible upset occurs in the race to-
night. He is leading by four points,
with Willie Hanley his nearest con-
tender AS only the point winners
will start in the championship it isn't
likely that Kaiser will have much
trouble in winning. He is the best
amateur of the year, although Han
ley is showing great Improvement and
is coming to the front very fast
Donald McDopgall, the old champion,
is third on the list. He may finish
there, though he has a chance to be
second. McDougall is a grand little
rider, and he may come back some
day. Just at present he hasn't the
strength to pedal his bicycle, though
the willingness and the gameness are
still apparent.

General MacFarland is going to
give the fans plenty of Goullet and
Rutt and Clark and the fans will
like Mac" all the more for it. The
tandem paced race last Sunday be-
tween these stars has stirred up the
natives The victory of Goullet after
wonderful ride is being besmeared
with mud because of the claim Of
Rutt that he wasn't properly paced.
AS the same conditions are to exist
in a race to be put on next Sunday,
we will see how Rutt fares against
Goullet. Again tonight we are to
have Goullet and Rutt and Clark,
this time in a sprint match, the best
two out of three heats. On form,
Goullet looks like a certain winner,
but you never can tell in those bike
races. Rutt has worked hard for
the race, and Clark, 1t is said, has
prepared well. Goullet has been rest
ing up.
Frank Kramer will start in the pur-
suit race tonight, and there is no
telling what big Steve" win do. It
will all depend on how he feels and
how he is situated in the final, If hei
gets in the final The races in itself
is a gruelling affair and the winner
will have a lot to crow over. Rutt
and Goullet will take a great beat
ing, but if the old champion is feel
ing just right he may spring sur
prise on the boys and the fans. Kra-
one, but he may not ride the race out
beoahse of the close At for the

EW YORK, Feb. 28.-Leach Cross
~ the local scrapper who went
! y west several months ago and
who broke fifty fifty on the trip, is
back in town and already signed up
for a battle with Johnny Dundee, the
lightweight or heavy featherweight
Dundee weighs in for his numerous en-
gagements all the way from 1913 to 130,
So it is difficult task to properly
classify him according to the commonly
accepted scale Of weights.
Leach complains that he couldn't find
ANYTHING more to do in the far west, which
accounts for his return home-alsO that the
fighters on the coast are afraid OF him
Leach came back with the record Of a de-
rear oy Joe h1Fera ana p isnocEoul victory
over Bud Anderson. He asserts that the
latter achievement scared Rivers into call
ing off their return battle.
Can Get Action in East.
Well, Cross viii not find it so hard to
get plenty Of action around here. There
are q number Of fairly good hghtWeights in
Gotham who are anxious to get into the
ring with the Ghetto representative. Johnny
Dundee, for one is always willing to mix il

plays no favorites They all look alike TO
him and he can be depended on to put up
a good exhibition any time he crawls

looks almost a cinch that he VIII earn the
popular verdict.
Leach spins a yarn about trying to per
suade Willie Richie 70 box him while on
the coast. OF course, Leach, Richie couldn't
consider such a proposition while on the
sick list. Cross knew all about that when
he challenged the champion, and also prob
ably recl1oned on the fact that Richie
would not entertain a match with anyone
