The Baltimore News is all worked
up over the story that the fight wasn't
just the purest ever. Daniel Daniels,
who writes under the name of Dan
NY for the News, hasgiven the state

ark Evening Star, considerable pub
lefty. Danny" also put the matter
up to the club manager, who is very
much incensed. However, having seen
the pillows" the boys fought with is
sufficient evidence that no knockout
was desired. These pillows were
weighed yesterday and topped the
scales at exactly sixteen ounces for
the pair, and for one thing, we must
say, Patsy got fair deal as to the
weight of the gloves at least. OF
course, if the gloves had weighed ten
ounces they would have been two
ounces heavier. but what's the use of
getting away from the facts.

Kline says he was told the fight
would be held Tuesday night, that

took place on Wednesday night, the
limit was ten rounds and kline's end
was cut to $500.

amount isn't likely to tempt Kline,
unless CLANCY is satisfied to take $3.50
| for his end, for Patsy declared he
wouldn't think of fighting CLANCY
again in Baltimore unless he received
at least $1,000 for his share. The Bal
timore News, in its excitement, no
doubt, quoted Kline as denying the
story of his fight with CLANCY, which
appeared in this newspaper. Kline
| said to me that he didn't deny the
| Evening Stars story and declared
| positively that every word was true.
Patsy couldn't have denied the story
very well, for it was written just as
he retold the events. AS tip to

| perhaps it would be well to investi-

fighting gloves and why some out
slider held Kline's share of the purse
as a guarantee that Patsy wouldn't
do any double crossing and knock
out CLANCY. Just look those matters
