suit us better than return match,
but, naturally, after such a lesson, 1t
would not be at the same weight.
l shall take in the Happy Ramblers'
ball Saturday night and, although I
shall go for pleasure, | hope to clinch
a match. as L wish to prove to the
public that Boonton is there at in
lighting and possesses two hands,
with a wallop in each. Why, the day
he fought Banty, Boonton ran twenty
five miles In the morning, to keep
down his weight, and then he had to
keep on the go right up to within
fifteen minutes of weighing-in time.
Imagine his condition when he en-
tered the ring!
Now, as Banty and Boonton have
each won a bout, Ii Is no more than
right that the question of superiority
be settled, regardless of weight.
There will be no difficulty In finding
someone to put on the bout, as the
go would be a big attraction. II
Lewis will not take on Boonton, the
KID is willing to meet any 132-pound
boy in the game. Matchmaker Nc
Carthy, of Browns Gym, Will stage
bout for Boonton with Carl Victor,
Jim McVeigh or any other good boy.
Thanking you again, ! am, ours
truly,
JOSEPH d BENEDETTO.
For the bouquets, accept thanks in
return. AS to another Lewis Boonton
bout at f32 pounds, that would be
asking Banty to give away lot OF
weight, though he may do 1t. The
Kid, however, would surely do better
elsewhere. Hope you have big time
at the Ramblers' ball.

Friends of Irish Mahon seem to
think that he has something on
Banty Lewis. But let them tell it:
j. p. N:
The tight fans OF the "Hlll" would
like to discuss a few things about the
Irish Mahon and Banty Lewis con-
veraation. In regard to weight, we
have been told by Irish himself that
he could make 122 pounds ringside.
He also said that he would put a
forfeit up for weight. When Mahon
and Lewis met in the ring the first
time, why the fight was all Irish.
What he did to Banty in four rounds
was a shame, and if the coming
fight is ten rounds the fight fans of
the "Hill' think Irish will knock
Banty out before it Is over. The
Happy Ramblers talk about betting
$500 Why they would be lucky II
they are able to bet one-fifth of that
amount of money. We remain, re-
spectfully yours,
FIGHT FANS OF THE HILL.
Maybe Mahon can beat Lewis and
maybe he can't. 1t will take a few
rounds of fast milling to prove that
assertion. But as to the Rambiers
betting their money, you're off the
track entirely How much they will
bet 1 do not know, but whatever they
say they'll bet they'll back up. That
/ am sure of.
Jack Bayon, manager Of Young
Pavese, takes Banty Lewis to task
and declares he iran OUT of a match
with Pavese which was scheduled for
Gus Troxlers Central Institute. The
attack:
J. p. N:
Although the papers have been full
of talk about Banty Lewis, ] will
take the liberty and add little news
that | am sure the fight fans of New
ark will be glad to hear. About two
weeks ago l visited Troxler's Central
Institute and asked Mr.. TroXler IL
he had anyone on hand good enough
to meet Young Pavese, who is under
my management. Mr.. Troxler offered
me Banty Lewis and | accepted. Mr..
Troxler then said he would see Banty
and make final arrangements, which
he did, Banty accepting, and the bout
was to be held on March 80. Last
Tuesday MIR. Troxler called me up
and informed me that Banty had
called the bout off. Now, what l
want TO know is why Banty
backed out. Can 1t be that he has
looked up Pavese's record and then
got cold feet? Pavese has not fought
recently in Newark and is anxious to
show his friends and followers what
