This is what Boonton's manager
thinks of Lewis
J. P. N.
On account of my being out town,
did not have the opportunity to
reply to the letter of the Hill Sec
| ton Boys" l desire to take this OPP
portunity, however, to assure them
! that Boonton is not afraid of Banty
| Lewis, and that nothing would please
/ him more than to meet Lewis at
! Troxlers. or at any other boxing
/ club, for bout to extend anywhere
| from eight to ten ronds. and the
weight to be 125, ringside. and winner
| to take all. There are no condi-
lions imposed. as Boonton is so anX-
| ious to meet Lewis that We will
| agree to any terms that the "Hill
| Boys" may make.
Well, | guess. for a beginner, Boon
ton did not fight the great Banty
Lewis to a standstill, even with his
great experience. Lewis is not in
vincible Even the great Napoleon
was eventually beaten, so Lewis need
not be so socksure about himself. l
have not as vet noticed the govern
ment officials naming any of their
battleships after Lewis. nor have |
noticed any cigar manufacturers
naming any ten-cent cigars after him. |
although there is a town in Morris
county named after Boonton. Why, |
he is the guy that made that town
famous. Let the TWO meet again. and |
then he will show you boys on the |
Hill what stuff he is made of. |
we should manifest concern" : over
Lewis, or, in other words. I'VE should |
worry" Well, how does this strike |
you? BOONTON'S MANAGER. |
The following is another fans let
ter concerning the mueh-talked of |
transfer of the Tigers:
J. p. N:
There is no use bowling before one
is hurt That is an old and true !
saying, but / think that Newark fans I
would have just grievance against T
Charley Ebbets if he even consid-
cred transferring the Newark players
to Brooklyn. I quite agree with what
True Fan said last night in your
sport topics, j. p. N. / can't see
what Ebbets is thinking about to try
to deprive us of baseball if he ever
did think of such a thing. l see by
Your sporting pages that Mr.. Barrow
says the league will not stand for it.
Put down a big credit mark for Mr..
Barrow in the estimation of New
ark fans. As to Ebbets, we'll be
lenient with him until we find out
just how far he intended to go.
Here's hoping that the statements
credited to Charley is all newspaper
talk. l can't see how any sane bust
ness man would call it protecting his
interests to transfer a franchise with
which he cleaned up several thou
sand dollars to make a move that is
decidedly a doubtful proposition to
my way of seeing things. I'm willing
to bet a IS bonnet with anybody that
the Tigers will be with US this sea-
son and Wen be roofing as hard as
ever What say you, ]. P. N?
A LIVE ROOTER.
l guess you'll win your bet.
j. P. N.
I know it is not just in your line,
but | also know that your column is
widely read, so / want to register ,
few kicks. First of all, why is it
that some people allow the snow to
melt on their sidewalks from which
the snow has partly been removed.
and then let it freeze again. l can
that 1t is difficult to get ,
all of the snow off the first crack,
but | notice that when 1t melts these
people are too lazy to sweep it off,
and it freezes and makes walking
dangerous, worse than if the snow ]
was allowed to remain the first time.
My second complaint is about a
party who is doing some building on
street, near the Sixth pre-
cinct. On several nights I noticed he
had no lights on the various ma !
terials piled up on the streets. My
horse narrowly escaped a broken leg
during a recent storm. Maybe I am
a crank. but it appears to me that
here is carelessness some place.
X. i. o.
Let's hope the guilty parties will ;
see your letter and become con- :
demonstration.
J. 2. N:
In reference to the question asked
by Another Booster" in your column
last Saturday, l would state that our
name is Joseph J. Demp- ,,
sey, and his addresslis 472 South Tenth !
street city.
A few words to you. Mr.. ]. P n, in
reference to our next show, Shore
Acres" which will take place some
