| NOW dpOuI DODiey HEHliiS Lew 10.
We think Donley is going too fast,
He is a young boy in the game, and
he ought to wait awhile. Lewis
| weighs far more than Donley, and is
| more experienced than Mickey. The
fight fans of the Hill" think Donley
is a coming champion, but let him
climb the ladder slowly and surely.
So be careful, Donley. and take no.
tice who you pick for your fights

A spectator at the Jackie Dobbs-
Sailor Danahey bout Saturday night
disputes Dobbs's claims to the verdict
in the following letter:
J. p. ":
Just few lines in regards TO the
Dobbs-D anahey fight at West Brigh-
ton A. c. Saturday night. l. wish to
tell you that Jackie Dobbs was
| beaten nearly all the way in his ten
round fight with Sailor Danahey.
! What is the idea of fellow denying
it? Can't he be a sport and admit
that his protege was beaten? Sailor
Danshey was just playing with him
around the ring, making Dobbs miss
most of his punches. ] happened to
be a spectator at that fight and my
opinion is that Sailor Danahey beat
Jackie Dobbs with case. Hoping to
see this in your sporting column, as
| am a steady reader. | beg to re-
main, STEADY READER.
Bobby Tonan, Dobbs's manager.
said that Jackie won all the way, but
if he hasn't told the truth he will
in, no
for publicity for himself and his
fighter. Manager Tonan may not
know what is done with little boys
who do not tell the truth, but he
will soon find out if he does much fib-
bling.
Even the little fellows who play on
/ the Fairgrounds have their disputes.
Here is protest over the awarding
of the Fairgrounds basketball
title;
j. N ~:
Seeing that the Newton Street Five
has been awarded the Inter- Play
| grounds basketball championship, L
wish to say that it surely was an I'M
fair decision. on the part Of the Off
Gals The Prince street team was
/ the class of the league, having beaten
every team by overwhelming scores.
Its record of ten games won and two
lost completed it's schedule The
! league players were supposed to be
under the ages Of seventeen years OF
age, but when the Prince street boys
played on the Belleville Fairgrounds
| they met a ringer team" gotten to-
gether of boys away over the age
| limit The team, however, did not get
! cold feet, but played under great odds,
and only lost q to 16 When the
Belleville boys played on Prince street,
| however, they could not quite bring
| their full team, but went home with
81 to II defeat. This put the Belle
! Vile BOYS out of the running, and
when Newton played them they had
no fight left in them and were beaten
easily.
| In many cases the Prince street
boys had a chance of winning by
forfeit, but they never wanted to take
such games and played their full
schedule The Newton team, how
ever. was waiting for Prince street
to finish its schedule, and on many
occasions postponed its games and
came down to watch the Prince street
team play.
The Newtons played only nine
games, and has two games with sum-
mer avenue and one with Oliver street
yet to play. The Summers had q
| great team, and could easily be count
ed on winning one, or possibly TWO
| from Newton street. But what do
the officials do? They give three
games to Newton street, SO it can
niust top the Prince street team. The
Prince street team beat Newton ~ TO
and lost 25 to %. Surely the teams are
at least evenly matched. Why not let
! the two teams play one game on
neutral court or a three game series.
What is your opinion? Yours Tor
square deal, l. M. II y <>MAS'
p. S.-The Prince street team has
beaten every team by much larger
scores than the Newton team,
Captain Prince Street B. B. T.
If the championship has been
awarded that settles it. You probably
believe that you have been harshly
treated, but, as is usually the case. II
all the facts were printed, we would
very likely find the officials in the
right, as is generally the case. Be
sport and take your defeat like a lit
tie man. even if you know you have
received tne NoIst VI ~ " -
