lowers, especially in the trolley cars,
are disgusting. The Troxler shows
are all right, but somebody ought to
put salt on the tails of some of the
fresh likes who attend them.

Another fight fan comes back at
Mr. Kean. He says:
j. P. N:
Who is trying to assail the good
name of Professor Troxler and who
claims that boxing is on the decline
in this city? The article of Mr.. Kean
that appeared in these columns yes
terday amused me very much, and
with all due respect to the boxing
! knowledge of Mr.. Kean, l am COM
| PEELED to say that either he is preju-
| diced against the above-named pro-
fessor or his boxing knowledge is very
limited.
l have been a patron of Troxler's
boxing shows, and as a whole they
have satisfied all who have witnessed
them. We all realize that all boxers
are not scientific, but the majority
who perform there endeavor to per-
form to the best of their ability. Now
and then two sluggers meet, but this
is very rare. Troxler tries to keep
his exhibition above criticism. My
enthusiasm at times gets the best
of me and / give vent to exclama-
lions, but l was told by the officer
to refrain from shouting. Troxler
realizes the necessity of having order
and quiet, and anyone who disobeys
is put out. Sincerely,
SPORTIUS.

Jack Palmer's manager gives Young
Kurtz rub or two in the following
letter:
New York. July 20, 1914.
]. P. NJ
| Well. / see that Dave Kurtz is so
anxious to box Jack Palmer that he
will practically fight for nothing.
They offer 80 per cent. for the bout
at Browns gymnasium, and of
! this Kurtz only wants 35 per cent,
and is willing to let Palmer have the
remaining Is per cent. Isn't that
very kind of him? The idea of
Kurtz making a demand like that
| after Kiebler has beaten him! 1
have been trying for some time to get
Kurtz in the ring with Palmer and
1 am willing to give him the lions
share of the purse to meet Palmer.
| am willing to take 20 per cent.
for our end and let Kurtz get away
with the 80 per cent Now Kurtz
must either agree to this or take
a back seat He knows that Palmer
has as big a following as he has,
and / know that he has a bigger
following than Kurtz, so where does
he come off to get 35 per cent. of
so per cent?
Now that Kiebler has beaten Kurtz,
where does he come off at? OF
course, it is a joke for Kiebler to
claim the welterweight title. as he
weighs 1873 pounds. No, Kiebler is
out of it, but he thinks that he is
better than Palmer. Why, Jack will
fight him for the middleweight title
or any other title Kiebler claims
Kurtz, Kiebler or any one else will
do for Palmer, but we want to cal
Kurtz's bluff right now and show
him up. The only exit out of this
match is for Kurtz to retire, and as
1 know he is far from that, then Il
is up to him to enter the ring with
Palmer. We are conoeding every.
thing to him. Yours truly.
A. J. DIXON,
Manager Jack Palmer
