amount of coin that Banty's crowd is
willing to bet on the outcome. Hats
of to Patsy He's a man, even if he

J. z. n. Hes a man for a that,

swings of Patsy's.
Now to cycling a friend of mine
recently came to Newark TO pay me

Donley and Kline paid a visit to
the Evening Star office yesterday aft
ernoon. Donley said he was willing
to fight Lewis at 1872 pounds ringside
and Kline said he would back him
for any amount IL Lewis would make
the weight. Kline said he wouldn't
box Lewis unless there was a side
bet of $3.50. Patsy himself has al
ways been a fine little fellow, but his
friend, the crap-shooter with the
ohoney dice, could never get by with
ne, and the surprise is how he gets
by with the police. A letter ad-

Irish Mahon has asked Tom Mes

Paris is wild with joy over the fight
billed for tonight between Georges
Carpenter, the French champion, and
Joe Jeanette, the colored wonder.
Jeanette is the favorite In the bet
ting, but Carpenter is considered to
have great chance. A victory for
the Frenchman would make boxing
the big thing over there, and as
Jeanette has shown signs of going
back. 1t may be that Carpenter will
carry the day. This young French
man has been beaten several times,
but he always comes UP bobbing for
another fight. Notwithstanding his
adverses, the French have great con-
fldence in him, and IL ne should de-
feat Jeanette tonight the natives
would make a babel out of Paris.

Joe Benedetto, manager of Kid
Boonton, has proved himself a game
sport in every way in his dealings
admits he made mistake In allow
ing Boonton to fight at 1877 pounds,
and shoulders the whole RESPONSE
bility for the Kids defeat. He still
believes that Boonton has good
chance with Lewis, but not at 1877
pounds. He would Ike to see the
boys meet again, but names 1872
pounds as the poundage He also
suggests matches for Boonton with
other local boys, and he seems to be
a live wire. He writes letter, in
which he states his case, and 1t is
published here with pleasure:
]. P. N:
1 wish to thank you for the kind
words and interest taken in my
protege. Kid Boonton. I must GER
tainly hand 1t to you for predicting
in your sport Topics of the Hour"
that it was impossible for Boonton
to make the required weight of 1877
pounds and still be strong. 1t was all
my fault for making the match at
that weight, and l must admit that l
am some "bonehead,'e for l should
have realized that Boonton Is grow
ing heavier daily. I do not wish to
make excuses or belittle Banty Lewis,
for he did show class in the bout
with Boonton, but, nevertheless. I
am of the opinion that Boonton is
the better boy, and nothing would
