caused the claret to flow freely. Then
realizing that he was being heater
badly, Bobby resorted to foul tactics
| He hit Donley a few smaShes below
the belt, which the referee perceived
and he warned Loughrey. But Bobby
did not heed the referees injunctions
and the bout was stopped in Donley'
favor.
We Donley followers will back VI
our statements with newspaper de-
cisions of both fights. Mr.. Tyler
claims he had the second row, and
surely his eyesight must have gone
| back on him.
A DoNLEY FOLLOWER.

not entitled to the decision, was cer-

This ardent Gradwell adherent
takes both Kid Boonton and myself
TO task
j. p. N:
l noticed in the Evening Star of
October that Kid Boonton had run
out of another match with Young
Gradwell This is the second time
that Boonton has refused TO meet
Gradwell. A short time ago Boon
ton had an opportunity to meet Grad
we'll at Troxler's, and, for the simple
reason that he was afraid of Grad
WELL he refused and took on Jackie
Dobbs instead. Once more he had a
chance to meet the lightweight cham
pion of New Jersey and he refused,
giving. as an excuse that he wanted
Gradwell to make 1873 pounds. If
Boonton wishes to meet lightweights
he will have to meet them at the
lightweight limit, which is 1876 pounds
and not 1873 pounds
In letter published in your column
a close friend of Boonton's stated that
in his last fight Gradwell weighed 40
pounds. This may be true, but it has
nothing to- do with a fight between
Gradwell and Boonton, as long as
Gradwell can make 1S5 pounds. In
the same letter the writer said that
Boonton would not meet welter-
weights. We are all well aware of
this fact, for it is a certainty that if
Boonton will not meet lightweights
he will not box welterweights. Grad
we'll is a lightweight and not a well
terweight, and he is always ready to
meet anyone, big or little. l do not
believe Gradwell has ever refused to
meet a lightweight.
Gradwell is, without doubt, the best
lightweight in New Jersey. He fights
more than any other boxer In this
section and meets better men. tits
seldom that one sees anything about
Young Gradwell in your column and
it. leads me TO believe that you are
prejudiced against him. Why not
give everyone a square deal? Do not
play favorites as you have been doing
of late.
AN ADMIRER OF YOUNG GRAD
WELL.
Taking exception to the box score
of the Newark ronsides baseball
game:
J. P. NJ:
As this is my FIST attempt at writ
ing to your column | would like TO
see the following letter in print. /
noticed several mistakes in the box
scores of the Ironside F. C.-Newarlx
game, played at South Side Oval.
about a week ago. Joe Harter
was charged with four errors when
he only had two. Kraft made an err
ror when he dropped hall thrown
by Smith and allowed his man to
get back TO first. Schacht had mis-
play which put Pircner Lee in a hole
in the seventh inning. overheard
Lee say to Levine that lie was lucky
to get out the way he did. Kraft
was credited with three hits when
he crly had two striking out twice.
Eddie Zimmerman was also credited
with three HIS when he had but
two. Kurfess, according to the box
score, made two errors, but this is
VIZ, 6, for he dldr't have a chance
TO make even one. Now, J. p. N, if
the person who made out the box
score takes exception to this, just let
him write to- you and explain why
these unnecessary mistakes were
made. A REGULAR FANNESS.
