GLBLETS BY ROY EM1K


, Boxers go slower when they know
the route is long one.
There is no question that Gundv
, and FelsO are the best featherweights
. at Bliss unless there is a mighty good
dark pony secreted among new re-
crults. A bout between these two at
present is out Of the question as
. they are both members OF the same
troop-k troop. 18th cavalry. The fact
that these two viii not meet has
I caused quite a general desire for a
bout between Nelson and Felso. Gundy
has met Felso twice. Fans reason
that a meeting between Nelson and
telso would give a good line on the
relative merits Of Gundy and Felso
Felso's record is second to that of
no Bliss boxer in local bouts and the
manner IN which he disposed Of Jack
Arnold proves him a logical opopn-
ent for clever Tommy Nelson
Fans viii remember that at the
conclusion Of the Gundy-Nelson bout
on Labor day there was a considre-
able commotion in the ring. due TO
released vim Of 18th riders. During
the melee old Nick was jumping
about on all fours. happy as II some
one was scratching his back He
showed his delight by barking and
Jumping into the air and wagging his
stumpy tail 1t couldn't have been
bigger show to him II somebody had
donated him a dollar SOUP bone Now
hold on-don't 90 away believing we
refer TO Nick Gundy. Oh. no. We
are talking about that big yaller bull
dog which the boosters Of X troop
have adopted as the company mascot
and call odd Nick"

Fort Bliss, Texas, Sept. l.
Sport Editor OF The Herald
FL Paso. Tex.
Dear Sir:
! You have said something in your
] columns about a bout between Bat
Ting Love and myself I think you
said something about me getting a
reputation before meeting Love / was
at the Studorlum on Labor day and
{ took my reputation with me The
thing was a bit rusty, I'll admit. but
1 secured II up as best / could and
took it over in a grip together with
some other fighting toys. 1 took II
along because Love had intimated in
I a local paper that he would like 10
I look at il Labor day and If I really
Z had a reputation that he would agree
I to meet me-
took no offense at his demand. It
0 is proper enough for people in exalted
] positions 10 make others present their
regulations. But Mr.. Editor. all
l through that Love-Sontag bout kept
I looking for Loves reputation TO bob
I'D somewhere and never could see IT.
Mind you, I don't exactly say that ne
I had no reputation, for don't see
extra wei under electric lights and
/ besides some peoples regulations are
/ hard TO see when they are in action,
] although they show Up well in g
} newspaper or in vocal solos.
D Mr.. Editor. ] am forced 10 believe
] that Babbling Love left his reputation
I at home that night else IL surely
I would have shown up at some time
I during the bout asked Silent Son
/ tag about il and he says he never
I once saw the reputation or felt OF
. il when he clinched with Love. 1
Il cannot agree to box man. M Eoi-
] tor, who is cruel and lnnuman 70
\ his own reputation and leaves II al
\ home in the dark while the fans are
I waiting TO see its face at the stu
I dorfum. What would the ladies think
I az ft2 1 would lose the women vote.
n Very truly yours,
II Arthur Holmgren-
II Jack Arnold. who was defeated at
l the last Studorium boxing show by
II Tommy Felso after six rounds OF fast
II milling, is ready for another bout
n with Felso. He states that he would
II like 10 meet Tommy over a longer
| route. I would like TO meet Felso in
a ten round bout" says Jack. I do
| better in longer bouts, as a rule OF
\ course, I would want longer to train
| In the last bout with Felso tried 10
Il get into condition in a week having
II been out Of the game and out OF
Il training for many months. I believe
I could defeat Felso in a ten round
affair"
