Newark evening star and Newark advertiser., 1915-07-20

to be much to choose between them
Perhaps Dundee is the stronger ant
he is the one who is selected to win
in view of Rivers's inability to dis
pose of his opponents In his last few
fights. It Is figured that the bout will
last the full ten rounds and tha
Dundee, with his hippity-hop. will
just about earn the popular decision
This does not mean, of course. thai
Rivers may not put over a knockout
blow, for Joe has the punch to do the
trick.
o
Paul Treda, the Jersey boxer, is one
of the many who believe that Kio
Lewis has pretty good chance with
Charley White in their scheduled
ten-round bout at the st. Nicholas
Rink tomorrow night. Freda is train
ing at New Dorp with Lewis, and
Paul seems to think that the Kid
will Outright White. Freda writes
that Lewis is a speed marvel and
that Joe Rivers, Ralph Grunan and
Joe Azavedo are afraid to box in
friendly bout with the Kid. Breda
would like to fight himself, and he
would be willing to meet Jack Coyne
at catchweights the same night that
Jim Savage and Charley Weinert
clash at Madison Square Garden.
Now here Is chance for Jimmy
Johnston to add another strong Jer-
sey card to his program.
G
White is the favorite over Lewis,
and there is little betting on the out
come, because of the lack OF Lewis
money. The White backers are
anxious to get down their change and
pretty good price is obtainable
Ringside betting will probably be at
least 10 to 7 on White, and yet Lewis
is claimed to be faster and cleverer
than White. Charley has the hard
punch and all that, but he holds back
like "fraid COW" and allows his op-
ponent to outpoint him. Freddie
Welsh made White look like a deuce
in tho early rounds of their last fight
and when Charley did loosen up.
Welsh avoided most Of his efforts.
In bout that goes the limit. White
is not a very good betting PROPOSE
ton with a fast man, but against
anyone he can hit he is the best bet
in the world.
@
Manager Johnston is not going to
depend on White and Lewis to draw
the crowd to st. Nicholas Rink to-
morrow night. He has arranged for
an added attraction. This attraction
will be none other than the empire
campaign committee of the woman's
suffrage party, which has added to
the neW field of endeavor the boxing
clubs for their appeal for votes. The
first appearance of the woman's suf-
frage party at a boxing bout will be
at the ST. Nicholas Rink tomorrow
night, on which occasion Miss Alice
Carpenter, the noted speaker, Will de-
liver an appeal for woman's rights.
Miss Carpenter is woman of Won
derful personality and has gained
much fame as an orator. The boxing
enthusiasts are expected to listen at
tentively and to give the plucky Miss
Carpenter a roustng reception on her
entering the ring to deliver a knock
out blow to those who object to
woman's rights. Manager Johnston
Is to boxing what Oscar HAM
merstein was to the opera, and this
innovation of allowing suffragettes
into the boxing game Is his idea and
was quickly grasped by the secretary
of the Empire State campaign COM
mittee.
When the boxing bill for New Jer-
sey is being prepared 1t might be well
to look over the boxing bill now in
existence in Wisconsin. The boxing
commissioners of that State have the
right idea. They have made de-
mitted to operate In any of tho va
rious cities OF the State, and that only
three shows month will be allowed
in Milwaukee, which is the biggest
city in that State. A boxing bill for
New Jersey would be a very good
thing. One club in each city would
be plenty and one show a week would
be quite sufficient An effort will be
made to put bill through the New
Jersey Legislature, and the right kind
of a measure should meet with the
hearty approval of the citizens.
