Friend Joe-A line to let you know
! | am at present managing Phil (I<id)
Burns and Joe (Kid) Black, both of
/ New York. These boys are anxious
to meet anyone their weight in the
world. Burns has met Packey Nc
! Farland and he gave him the hardest
! battle of his career. He is matched
u meet Jack Britton at the Empire
~ c., and 1 think it will be great
fight. Black has one ambition, that
is to get another chance at Patsy
Kline, of your city, as he is dissatis-
fed with the result OF their last meet
ing. Hoping you will give this men
ton in your column and hoping to see
you In the near future, l am,
yours truly, SAMMY KELLY.
Kline will be only too willing to
take on Kid Black, so a bout between
the boys will be very easy to arrange.
