fight both boys seem to be willing,
and both are anxious to go the ten
round limit Billy Gibson, manager of
the Stadium A. c.. is very sweet on
Boonton and he would no doubt put
on such a bout at one of his shows.
o
Joe Benedetto Boonton's manager,
thinks so well of the Kid that he is
selling out his garage and intends to
devote-all his energies to looking
after Boontons interests. How Bene-
detto will come out is question that
will not be settled until later on, but
to give up the rather safe automobile
business doesn't appear to be good
at all. Benedetto, however,
has more than a managerial interest
IN Boonton. He brought the Kid out,
front. The prospects are bright that
he will, SO Benedetto feels that he
will be well paid for his time and
trouble if the Kid should reach the
top. It is a big gamble, of course,
and. besides, the fighter that sue
ceeds doesn't always stick to the
manager who makes his success pos
sible. Just now Boonton is all honey
with his manager. but a few vic
tories and a swelled head changes
the entire complexion of affairs. 1t
can always be said that Benedetto
had a garage when he started out
with Boonton, yet the important part
is, what will he have when he is
with Boonton? 1t will be
to watch the career of this
young fighter and see if he is to be
among the ingrates. He
says not.
If Charley Weinert wants to take
Il chance at making "a reputation for
he should endeayor to get
on a bout with AL Reich, the latest
Reich though still looked upon as
lacking heart, showed so much
and hitting powers in his
contest with Sailor Fritz that it will
take a pretty good man to beat him.
He gave more evidence, too, of
gameness, than on any previous &C.
casion, and he was lauded to the
skies for his victory. 1t was the best
heavyweight fight seen in New
York in years, and the next time
Reich boxes he is sure to draw big
crowd. Opponents for Reich are lack
ing, and there is no reason why
Weinert should not get the bout if he
makes a play for it. lie is clever and
would give Reich hard fight and if
the bout lasted the full ten rounds
Charley might get the popular de-
cision. 1t is just the spot for Wei
merit to take a chance.
Wcinert. by the way has an inn
portant fight on. He is scheduled to
meet Jack Dillon, the Western light
weight, at the Broadway Sporting
Club, in Brooklyn. on June 80 There
has been some talk about having Wei
merit make weight for Dillon, but
Charley doesn't feel like training
down under 40 pounds. He can make
1863 pounds, he says, but as he is
heavyweight he fails to see why he
should train down for Dillon, who,
while paraded as a middleweight, is
really a heavyweight. AS far as is
known, though, the Weinert-Dillon
bout is on, and Weinert is training
for the fray 1t would be well for
him to keep Reich in mind, for if the
Dillon fight falls through he could
then be in shape to meet the sensa-
tional heavyweight. Weinert is big
enough to fight most anybody now,
and he is getting stronger every day.
Reich weighs 206 and is we'll built. but
he doesn't look much bigger than
Weinert.

Here's d fan who knows much and

j. p. N;
What do you think of McDougall's
riding Sunday? He certainly showed
old time form. | think Kramer was
unfair when he refused to pull Spears.
Does he think because he is the
American champion he doesn't have
to do his share of pulling? Why, he
made no attempt to go after liver
Lawson. What do you think of P.
Chanins wonderful sprint that beat
Willie Murray, the Pride of Harri-
SOM" REAL BIKE FAN.
McDougall, as you say, showed i'm
provement, but he isn't the McDou-
gall of old by any means. Kramer,
no doubt, figured that the sure way
to get into the final was to beat
