patiently waiting, and it looks as if
they were getting cold feet"
a few remarks in regard to Kid
Boonton's managers, Messrs. Bene-
detto and Piccuita. | made their ac-
quaintance down at the Evening Star
office and found them to be gentle
men and certainly am pleased to
know them. But one fault with them
is they have a whole lot to learn to
be fight managers, and they certainly
made "bone-head play" when they
matched Kid Boonton with Banty
Lewis. We should worry.
The reason Joe Sachs and Banty
Lewis gave in to all of Benedetto and
Piccuita's demands was TO make sure
they would not have a loophole to
get out of the match. So now we are
all waiting for ST. Patricks Day,
when we viii see Kid Boonton meet
his Waterloo.
Messrs. Benedetto and Piccuita, you
have done a whole lot of newspaper
writing about Kid Boonton, and the
only thing for you to do now is to
back all your talk up financially.
Talk is cheap. Anything we said we
will back up. You "Orange Fight
Fans started all this. and we are
gong TO finish 1t.
Hoping that Messrs. Benedetto and
Piceuita will not feel offended after
reading this letter, also wishing to
thank you, j. p n. for handing out
the right dope about Banty Lewis, we
are patiently waiting.
GEORGE EDELCREEK,
For the Happy Handlers Associa-
ton.
From what | can learn. Boonton
has made bad match. He is a young
fellow and a conner, but he lacks the
experience of Lewis. He will have a
few pounds on Banty, but | am told
he will be pretty fine at 127 ringside
Anyway, that is the talk along Cos
sip Row." and the opinion prevails
that Lewis will surely outpoint the
Kid, and he may knock him out.

An Evening Star reader has a sug-
gestion to offer in regard to the con-
troversy over whether letters should
be printed in these columns. The
suggestion:
j. p. ~:
have noticed in your sport Top
les of the Hour that "A Girls''
statement is being attacked, particu-
larly by IS o. & Co Don't you
think they overdo it sometimes? /
am not knocking, as every knock is a
boost these days. Don't you let these
controversies get the best of you, and
ought there not be limit to them?
"A Girls" statement in regard to
the asking of questions in your col
umns is all right. Now, don't take
offense, j. p. n. Your paper is q
pretty good paper, and your columns
are the best ever, but don't you tbinf
some of the questions asked you
could be found in the Public Library
and others that ought to be an
swerel on the woman's page?
You should exclude non-sport ques-
tions from your columns. ] am not
| trying to tell you how to run yur pa.
per or columns, but don't forget there
are readers and followers OF youi
opinion who do not wish to hear the
different sports slandered in your col.
umns by people who do not under
stand them. That's the general opin
ion of some of your interested readers
! j. p. NJ, what we want these days
| is real live-wire sporting news, no
| scraps over bike races, fighters, oil
the nationality of different people
| This Is a real live country Give III
square athletic sport news-news tina
will make red blood boil. Here's t.

accept the hash.

powers gained a victory, and m
stomach accepted the hash. At dir
ner, hash was again served. TIL
protest of my stomach this time wa
bitter, and all of my powers of diplC
macy seemed to be in vain. w

that my stomach would only accel
