"Ahov there, Tribune. Captain
Hype, Well. this is Skipper Johnston
OF the good ship Maddy Square. I've
been reading your boxing log. I've just
had short session with Seaman Lewis
the crashing, daShing, smashing
slashing sensation. lie walked into my
cabin lust now. and says he TO me:
"Hey, Jimmy, JIMMY! I've been
looking at those envelopes with my two
nictures on them-one the student and
the other the fighter. Hey, Jimmy,
tell me quick, what am | student
OF"
'Slugology, you fatheadl' roared.
Don't forget. SLUGOLOGY. Now
clear out of here. Remember now.
When any Of these penny-a-liners come
around 10 interview you, why you say
you are student Of SLUGOLOGf.'
well you know | sent Lewis down
10 get his picture taken as the student.
| told him how to hold his chin on his
hand. 20 look bright and intelligent,
and did you notice what he DID? Why,
he sat before the camera just like Bob
Hilliard would, with the hand holding
up the chin, head and all-and did you
SEE it? Why, he left that big tin ear
OF his exposed 10 the all-seelng eye
of the camera, while he covered up the
only good one that he has.
81 didn't notice 1t until II came back
from the printers. Can you beat that
posing as "A STUDENT with his cauli-
flower ear hitting you right in the
eye? Great head has the slashing,
dashing, crashing seensation, but I've
seen BETTER ones on an umbrella.
"Oh, before | depart. I MUST tell
you OF Andre Anderson. He's the new
Adonis. He knocked Mister Kendall
out at the Fairmont A. c. Saturday
night. You know that Kendall has
been batterlng Al Reich all over Dal
Hawkins's training camp for couple
Of weeks. and when / walked in with
MY Adonis the boys all said: A NICE
match you made for your man, Why,
don't you know that he has been past
ing Al Reich all over the county of
Westchester?
81 made no answer 10 their badinage
KNEW my Andre. Well, sir. he
went through with my expectations.
He finally did what the boys love 20
see. He K. O.'d Mister Kendall. am
now trying TO think up new name
for my handsome tiger. Say, honest,
he's better looking than Steve ketohel
was. You say that the Monticello GX-
hibition Company Of New York has Of
fered s57 900 for the Willard and Moran
Sight? Good. That makes il more
EXPLICIT.
"Why, listen. That offer comes frcm
the insane foundry up there. You
know, Hype, every time | hear of n
new offer | run it down 10 see if il
doesn't come from Matteawan or 5ome
such coop. Why. the first thing they
know they'll have poor old Sobersi les
Dorgan dizzy with offers. lie didn't
have anything on his mind Saturday
night, 80 | took him up TO the Fair
mont 10 see my Andre go. haven't
seen Ike since. lie must have run
right 70 Moran and told him 10 either
get Andre right away or not at all"
The Monticello offer. by the way. is
being considered by Jack Curley. lie
was around Saturday displaying the
telegram naming the offer, but he fold-
ed it so that the location could not be
learned. A bright-eyed correspondent
sends US word that the Monticello Fair
people have made the offer. $4,000,
Going UP.

Dear Hype: You no doubt know that
I preferred charges before the Boxing
Commission against the Manhattan 4.
G. for refusing to pay Leach balance
of s66e39 of a 8 500 guarantee for
the Harvey bout. " We don't get our
money, III have the satisfaction ot
