His first fight with Babe Angert, the
sehoolboy, at. Browns, will long be
remembered. but the second fight
wasn't so fast or so hard. Angert is
very good boy and a satisfactory
fighter. Just at present his left eye
is out of commission as a result of
a collision with Bells head in their
recent bout. When Babe has healed
up he win be out after another fight

The Broadway Sporting Club of
Brooklyn offered to give Gunboat
Smith fight with Charley Weinert,
but the Gunboat wanted a guarantee
o. $1,000 for his end. Tom Messenger,
Weinerts manager offered to take 10
per cent. for the Newark boys share,
but nothing short of $4,000 would suit
the Gunboat.

This Gunboat fellow is getting to
be o very high card in the deck. He
is demanding big purses for his ser
vices. He asked for $4,000 TO fight
Bob Moha, but he was turned down.
Smith is entitled to all he can get,
of course but he is not champion,
and isn't worth anything like the
sums he asks for his services.

Jackie Doiobs wants to fight Banty
Lewis. The challenge:
j. Z. n:
Most of the challenges of local
boxers are directed to Banty Lewis,
and the latest boxer to throw his hat
in the ring is Jackie Dobbs Jackie,
in my estimation, is a worthy con-
tender for the laurels that Banty
wears. OF late he has been fighting
out of town, in Allentown and at the
West Brighton Club, in Staten ISL
and and his victory over Young
Dyson stamps him as a very good boy
and worthy TO meet Banty.
Lewis, as everyone understands, is
in the game for the coin, a very wise
resolution, and the only way to talk
business to him is to talk money.
Dobbs has authorized me to state
that he is willing to deposit $50 with
a reliable stakeholder Immediately on
the outcome of the fight if Banty will
agree to meet him at Troxler's or
at any New York club.

The Happy Ramblers are stickers
for their members and they are going
over to Bill Browns tonight in large
numbers to see Dave Kurtz fight
Billy Lewis. The fight promises to
be hard go, with Kurtz the favorite.
The following letter from a Kurtz
admirer gives Lewis little chance in
the affair:
J. p. N:
Well, l certainly was tickled to
read in your sporting column that
Billy Lewis did get some one who
thought that he could beat Dave
kurtz. Now If that party means
business why not call up the Happy
Rambler Club, 4S45-M, and wen
cover anything he puts up. Now.
Jack Curley. why not get down to
business and call me up as soon as
possible and make arrangements to
leave it to any paper you care to
pick. or any three judges, which I
think is giving you good chance
for your money. Mr.. Curley stated
in Mondays paper that Kurtz didn't
stand a chance with Lewis, but he'll
think different after Tuesday night
fight, as Lewis will be in for an awful
beating If he stands up and fights
and doesn't cover up and try to last
the ten rounds. The Happy HANDLERS
not only talk about their fighters, as
Mr.. Curley stated, but back their
fighters to the limit, as every one
around town knows, and We're going
to make a big time of it by closing
down the club, as we have hired
three big auto trucks to carry our
members over, besides two large
touring cars which will follow us
with other Kurtz admirers. We only
hope that Lewis doesn't have any
excuse to offer after the fight be-
cause the best man is going to win,
Kurtz fights Wild Bill Flemmine
