much to be thankful for. So, young
man. with your familiar handwriting
and your ever-ready hammer. you are
not such a great fellow after all.

Reference in the following letter is
made to a communication sent in by
Joe Adams and printed in these
, columns recently:
Orange, Jan. 81.
J. p. N:
In reading your column a few nights
ago | notice that there is a certain
person up here in our midst who
thinks he knows it all: in fact, he
knows so much that he just can't help
telling us. He certainly is one smart
fellow, all right. Yes. and we note
that he is, not only smart, but
he appears to be little witty with
his smartness. Well, l suppose his
letter was read by a good many fair
(please note that fairy sports. What
l mean by fair is fair in every way.
Not fair in letter-writing and comedy
and unfair in all other things. I
would also like to state that Jim
Savage and all belonging to him are
union people, not only now but al
ways. l think, if the union people
who read your column only knew as
much as we know in regard to this
matter they would not take much
interest in his comical sayings.
| am not trying to make people
think that his sayings are untrue, for
we also read the papers around the
time he happened to read them. We
know that Sailor White was not the
worst in the. world, and we also are
e,fA oil
jim; but what he wants you
to note is: Sailor White stopped
Andy Morris in nine rounds
sometime after that; but mind you,
this here Morris fought Jim once
after that, and in order not to leave
any room for an argument I will en-
deavor to explain the result.
AS was the first fight, Jim was win
ming easily and would have, no doubt.
stopped Morris in short order, but as
the bell sounded ending the round,
Jim turned and started for his cor
ner,' Morris doing the same thing.
and, seeing Jim's back turned, and
having no chance for victory, he de-
liberately walked over and hit Jim
from behind, while Jim was about to
take his chair. OF course, he knocked
Jim cold, but although after coming
to himself Jim wanted to continue,
the referee stopped the fight and
gave Jim the victory on a foul.
I am telling this, and no doubt you
are aware of it, but if 1 had said
that Jim won the second fight with
out reminding you of the result you
would see how quick the knockers
would some to life and tell us what
they know,
We know that White stood six
rounds with Frank Moran, and he
tells us that the Sailor also held off
Gunboat Smith for ten rounds. Well,
maybe he did at that, and / am glad
to hear it; but Sailor White lasted
only seven rounds with Jim Savage,
did he not? Please note that all this
happened about a year or two, ago.
That was when the Sailor was at his
best.
In regards to Dan Morgan having
stG) that Levinsky can lick" Jim T
beg to state that it is news to IFS. 1t
is mighty funny that if this Is true
NJ Flynn was not wise to the fact
for he tried repeatedly to have Jim
and Levinsky matched, but each time
Danny refused, l suppose, for rea-
sons of his own. [ would also like
to state that any time Levinsky is
looking for trouble he can always get
it by having his manager look up
Mr. Leo P. Flynn, Jim's manager, and
he will be accommodated for any
amount he wishes to wager.
| would also like to have it under
stood that we are not knocking peo-
pie, nor are we jealous of anyone.
If there was any knocking done, you
know yourself that 1t was not Jim
that was doing it. If you don't call
knocking what you are in the habit
of saying about Jim what do you call
it, "publicity?'
Now, you say that Jim ought
to be thankful for the publicity he
has been getting. If that Is the way
you feel about it he thanks you, but
where it comes in fail to see it. In
the first place it is not the first time
jim had his name in the paper, and
what was given him by you wasn't
