PLANTATION is in order. A plant is
one tighter who will fight another
fighter. but who beforehand has his
orders and agrees to be beaten at a
certain stage in the contest. So far
Weinert hasn't gone into the plant"
business, and Percy Woodruff, his
manager, isn't likely to allow him
TO, either However. Weinert should
give Levinslly another chance. The
Battler, outpointed by Weinert in
their last match, Will be crazy to
make good and the chances are that
Weinert will make him look worse
than he did before. In any event,

Billy Gibson is to have fight club
of his own, 1 am told II so. he will
have first call on the services of
all the good boys in the game, for
he has been a prince to them. He
was due to retire from the manage
ment of the Garden after the show
last night, but it was said that mat.
tiers had been fixed up and that Glib
son would stay. 1t will be sad news
to the Garden management when Glib
son quits 1t may be so, but l have
been told that the Garden will not
be given a license to conduct boxing
shows after Gibson gets out, and that
the Garden management will have
nothing whatever to do with the next
six-day bike race. II is claimed that
the Garden got all the money out of
the fights and all the profits out of
the bike game last year. Hereafter,
according to reliable authority, the
Garden people will get so much for
the rent OF the building. and they
will have nothing whatever to do with
conducting the sports. They over
played their hands, it is said. and
soon they'll be on the outside entirely

Z must think that by putting in his
wonderful story that everyone fell
for it, but not so, Less HASH" l

one would call him LESS Brains"
If all or one-half of these people
who insist upon picking at IS. o. &

Co" there would be nothing to COM

The 5000 factory hand proposition
does not appeal to me. One would
think Smith was taking the census
or trying to find out how many
people work in his place of employ
nent. What has the signatures of
factory hands got to do with the
n. c. A. and the Nelodrome? l could
myself sign about 5000 different sig
natures. Please, smith" don't take
up any more of your time or there
will be one factory hand without a
position.
IS. O. & Co." are some writer's. and
the way they explain their items is
very pleasing to everyone, and l, for

tie, if it may be called such. L am
not an Italian, but l can tell you

! Well here's three cheers for rs. O.
e Co." May they continue writing

races will be here soon, and then is

rare things to say, and I, also. IS. O.
& Co.. 1 have not heard your opinion
of the Berlin race. Would be over
joyed to hear your views. Yours,
