1t was battle for the full five miles
Moretti, who with Clark was the
only other starter, said it was the
hardest and toughest race he had
ever competed in. That Kramer won

This wholesale teaming in the

it. Kramer told me he wouldn't

1t looks as if the boxing season
was going to open rather early.
Preparations are going on over in
New York for number of big bouts.
A new fight club on a large scale is
talked of, and contests between the
best men in the game are in the
wind. Billy Gibson is sure to have
/ Mike Gibbons meet some good man,
and he can get Willie Richie, the
lightweight champion, and Johnny
Kilbane, the featherweight cham
pion, to box for him. When Frank
Moran returns home Gibson will have
to unearth some big fellow to meet
him, and a bout with Moran and
Gunboat Smith as participants would
be good enough for anybody at the
present time. Maybe Georges Car
pentier will find 1t remunerative to
take a trip to New York and show
his wares, and those other boys will
soon be back ) from Australia. The
outlook for a busy boxing season is
certainly IN sight
C
Jim Savage is doing light training
in expectation of a match with some
of the blooming heavies before very
long. Savages first choice for
bout is Battling Levinsky, and know
ing that heS and Charley Weinert
would draw a big house. Jim gives
Weinert second call for a match.
However, neither Levinsky nor
Weinert seems very anxious to take
on Savage. SO Jim's first battle is
likely to be with Porlzy Flynn. The
Boston Club is willing to stage such
contest, and the contamination of the
match may be looked for any day. In
the meanwhile, Danny Savage,
brother of Jim, is on the trail of Lee
whisky and Weinert. The Broadway
Sporting Club, of Brooklyn, would
surely stage go with Savage and
Weinert or Savage and Levinsky as
opponents, SO there is every reason
why we should have one of those
matches.

Mickey Donley gives promise of
being a clever fighter some day, if all
that the boys say about him is true.
hit hard blow, and he is not being
overmatched or overworked. He is
natural fighter, but he does much
unnecessary posing. He is only a
youngster. though, and he has plenty
of time rs right his mistakes. He is
daring and he Is said to be game,
and he will be given a pretty good
test when he meets Kid Boonton at
Browns on August IS. That is the
date of the match given to me by
Young Stanzo, brother of Donley,
who also says that the boys will meet
at 129 pounds ringside. From an
other source 1t is said that the
weights have been fixed at 125 pounds
ringside. In any event it is too light
a weight for Boonton. who has de-
veloped into pretty big boy, to
make. 1t would be all right for
Donley, who can make 1875 pounds,
but it would take considerable strug-
gle On the part of Boonton to make
such light poundage.
C
Jimmy Mcveigh or Banty Lewis
can have fight with Boonton, ac-
cording to Jimmy Johnston, the Kids
new manager. Johnston declares he
will match Boonton against McVeigh
and allow Jimmy to name his own
terms. Johnston also says that Nc
Weigh is acting as IL he would rather
not fight Boonton, and would like in
stead to take on Lewis. IF McVeigh
doesn't want to fight Boonton," John
ston says, why. we will look for
someone else. Lewis would willingly
give the Kid another chance and
Jack Mccarthy, of Browns Gym,
will put on the bout. Boonton tells
me he can whip both McVeigh and
Lewis Johnston declares, 'but he
would much prefer to take on Nc
Weigh first"
o
But Lewis is also hot on the trail
of McVeigh, and as Jimmy seems to
favor a bout with Lewis or Boonton,
| the next match we hear of will likely
have McVeigh and Lewis for princi-
pals Jimmy beat Banty in their re-
cent four-round bout. but Lewis is
sure that he can reverse matters
