couldn't afford to finish him. Fl.
says he is out for himself now
though, and that he is going to dea
out beatings to every fighter who
presumes to tackle him. A weel
ago johnson did well against Jos
.Jeannette, but he was outpointed
johnson, to his credit, did all the
forcing and most Of the fighting, but
Jeanette played foxy game and goi
away with 1t. On his showing with
Jeanette, Johnson ought to do pretty
well against Sam Langford, whom
he fights tonight at the Stadium A
c. in New York There is no good
reason why his hands should be tied
and, as Langford is not within coun-
try miles as good as he used to be
perhaps Battling Jim" will be able
to stick around for the ten rounds
and receive favorable mention after
ward.
O.
Jim Savage says that Charley
Weinert is afraid to meet him, and
Danny Savage, who is doing business
for his big brother, has given up the
idea of ever getting Charley into a
ring with Jim, so Danny is off on a
new trail He hopes to be able to get
bout on with Battling Levinsky in
New York, and he is sure he can
match Jim against Perky Flynn in
Boston. Savage claims he Is going to
train hard for his next fight and show
the fans what he can do. He is one
good man who has never given him
self a fair deal.
o
If Jimmy Mcveigh feels disposed to
fight Kid Boonton he can have the
match in a minute. Not only that,
but Jimmy Johnston, Boonton's man
ager, will bet Jimmy $50 that the Kid
beats him. Jack Mccarthy, the
matchmaker for Bill Browns club,
is ready to stage the contest, and if
someone isn't afraid, this bout should
be arranged inside of a few days.
@
By the way, Boonton is also ac-
cused of being "a fraid cat" Young
Stanzo, brother of Mickey Donley, de-
clares that Boonton refuses to fight
Donley. Stanzo. along with Patsy
Kline, was ct the Rockaway A. c.
last night, and Jack Mccarthy told
him he would stage Boonton-D onley
fight any time the boys would make
tho match. Stanzo says that Mickey
is just itching to fight Boonton. but
that the kid won't come to tow.
C
So here we have two fighters able to
get bouts accused of being afraid,
while a lot of good boys are hanging
around just crazy to fight anybody,
any time and anywhere. OF course,
when fighters feel that they have
regulations to guard they are very
cautious, but there seems no reason
why Boonton should not fight Donley
and McVeigh should not meet Boon
ton. In both instances the boys who
are seeking the matches are willing
to take the worst of the weights. For
instance, Donley Is not within three
pounds as heavy at Boonton, and
is about three pounds larger
than Boonton. These fights, however,
are sure to come about, and they
should prove attractive and most In
contests to watch.

INDUCING in wordy combats, Banty
Lewis is going to wait until things
quiet down before issuing any state

ponent, for it Is said that Jimmy
would much prefer to swap punches
with Banty than again face Boonton
in the ring.
C
OF all the boys around here, one of
the most promising is Donley. He is
a nifty little boxer and he hits well
with either hand. He has craft and
cleverness, but he has entirely too
much style. He poses too much in
the ring, especially when he is win
ming. Mickey has the malSings, but
he will have to cut out his looking
glass tactics If he hopes to reach the
top.
The Baltimore News is evidently
going to snub the Patsy Kline-George
CLANCY fight. So far, the News has
not made single announcement that
1 have seen of the match, and yet
the date and other arrangements
have been made. Well, whether OF
no, the fight is sure to draw big and
Danny" might just as well get in
for some of the credit. He has given
the men enough advertising already
to fill any hall in the town and there
isn't anything he might say that
would keep the fans away. Perhaps
though, the Baltimore News doesn't
know the fight has been clinched. II
is strange If this is so, for the an.
