was so far from the ring that he
could not see who was landing the
blows.
1 think your decision was correct.
In the sixth round. when McVeigh
landed hard on Gradwell, Gradwell
hung on to Jimmy's neck, with his
| two knees caved in. I don't know
what saved Gradwell from being
knocked out in this round, but sup
pose it was Jimmys good nature for
| he is good natured in everything.
Gradwell will never be able to teach
our "champer" anything, for he has
forgotten all Gradwell ever knew.
This fellow Simmons is like all the
rest of the soreheads, / surmise. They
are afraid to admit when their man is
beaten.

known as Hun Ferris around here.
but fighting under the name of
frankie Conway, New Jersey has a
pretty good representative in the
bantamweight class in the person of
the boy from Orange. He is so good,
in fact, that his friends would like
to see him fight Johnny Coulon for
the championship, and declare he Is
entitled to the match on the showing
frankie made against Kid Williams,
Conway, from what is known of the
boy, is a dandy little fighter, and he
would be just as likely to best Coulon
as would Williams, who is almost
sure to get the match. The letter
calling the attention Of Conway's
claim to a match with Champion
Coulon is set forth as follows:
Orange, N. J.. Feb. 6, 1914.
J.P. N:
After hearing so much talk about
matching Kid Williams with Johnny
Coulon, why not give frankie Conway
CHun Ferris) a chance at the title,
as he beat Williams in Philadelphia,
and also has wins over such men as
Tommy O'Toole. Kid Herman.
frankie Fleming, Gene belmont, Jim
Kendrick and Patsy Brannegan.
A Scranton sporting club offered
Young Fox, of England, $500 to fight
Conway, but he turned the offer
down. Conway meets O'Toole again
on February 10 at Scranton.
On this record we base our claim
that Hun should be given chance at
the title Hope you Will publish this
and let all the Jersey "bear-cats" see
what the Orange boy has done. Also
give us your opinion as to Frankie's
ability. Respectfully yours,
ORANGEITES.

Bob Williams is after Young Pavese
for a return match and he ought to
be accommodated, for Williams comes
out boldly and admits that Pavese
beat him in their last bout. The
challenge follows:
j. P. N:
Just few minutes of your valuable
time to tell you about my boy, Bob
Williams, the Albany scrapper. Re-
Gently Williams fought Young Pa
vese, the clever and hard-hitting
featherweight of Newark, at the
Gowanas A. c., of Brooklyn, and
Pavese won by a knockout in the Sec
ond round and we give Pavese all the
credit in the world for beating him.
The New York fight fans consider
Pavese a very good boxer and they
call him Terrible" Pavese. Williams
admits that he was beaten and is very
dDAlOuS W lncCL u NCSC Of, ohAs IL
Pavese Is willing to give Williams a
return match why he will be more
than satisfied. You know Williams
substituted for Young McAuliffe and
was not in condition. and that Is why
Williams wants to meet Pavese again.
That was the first time Williams lost
by a knockout, and he has fought
some of the best featherweights in
the game Kindly publish this piece
as large as you possibly can so that
Pavese can see it. l remain,

Manager of Bobby Williams

The following letter suggests that
st. Benedict withdraw from competi-
ton with the public schools and takes
another correspondent to task for
being prejudiced:
j. P. N:
In reply to Mr.. T. C.s letter In
Thursday Evenings Star would say
that he is very prejudiced indeed. In
the first place, he begins his letter
by introducing the Central East Or
ange game, which he intends to talk
about. Instead of talking about this
game, however, he recalls the Bene-
dict-Central game of a year ago and
gives what he calls his impartial
opinion of same. l was q spectator
at this latter game and saw no riot
Gus roofing" on the part of the ST.
Benedict boys. They cheered in a
body, occasionally encouraged, or
passed remark to one of their play
ers, but were always well within the
bounds of craftsmanship, as We're the
Centralites.
from O. Iaftar xUa ara nlu0 To
judge that Barringer did a good thing
by barring Newark Academy from
the N. H. S. A. A. From what l
know, though, Newark Academy re-
fused to be voted upon as an entrant
to this association, otherwise Mr.. r.
c. might comfort himself by saying
that they We're barred because of re-
ligious matters.
Coming back to the Central-Bene-
dict game of last year, I would like
to know why everything was done
In favor of Central? One answer is If
Benedicts had kicked there'd have
been no game and Central would have
claimed the city championship, any
way just as the winners in the N. H.
S. A. A. will claim the different
championships. even though they
don't play Benedicts and Newark
Academy. Last year Central had the
advantage OF ltS nome court ana own
selection of officials. Mr.. Maroney,
who did nearly all the official work
for East Side, Barringer and Bene-
diets three quarters of the high
schools in the city,, was not good
enough for Central, however, as Cen
trail, from paper accounts, refused
to allow him to officiate.
I agree with Mr.. T. c. when he
says that Benedict and Central ought
to sever relations, but this is my
reason: st. Benedicts and Newark
Academy, too, ought to sever rela-
lions with both Central and Bar
