New Orleans, La, Sept. 8, 1919.
Mr.. Charles G. Moreau, Editor,
Sea Coast Echo, Dear Sir-Kindly
publish this open letter to do justice
to your coming champion, Russell
Manieri, from Bay st. Louis. l was
at the ring side and placing money on
my friend and favorite, Martin
Burke. But must say for Manieri
that with little more training and ex-
perience in the fighting arena, he is
made of the stuff which is recognized
by all lovers of gritty fighters, that he
is a coming champion and a danger
GUS man to tackle. | am not per-
sonally acquainted with Rus. Mamie
ri, but my wife was, and while myself
| backed Burke, my wife put her pin
money on Manieri, which showed you
beyond words how your coming
champion has many friends in New
Orleans. His defeat last night means
nothing compared to the number of
admirers he has made in the sporting
world.
He meeting Burke, who is classed
as professional, and giving Burke
al dS Sculu SLeiHC 1OI nine TOuHuS
raises his reputation so high that his
future success is assured. | have
heard big sports at the clubs and 9TH
er places where they congregate say he
is coming fighter in his class and
are willing to back him at any time
| he is matched The clean fighting
and his gameness can be proven by
the report published in this mornings
Times-Picayune. l remain a great
admir- of your Bay S. Louis bov,
and would be pleasd to become per
sonally acquainted vita him. His
popularity and friends in New Or
cans and the Gulf Coast was prov
en- by the largest attendance at the
Tulane Athletic Club arena. There
were over six thousands at the fight
J and the management had to refuse
admission to the late comers, fol
there was standing. room only, and
according to law, they. were forbidden
! to sell another ticket.
Trusting you will give this letter
publicity in your popular seacoast pa.

the booming town of Bay st. Louis as

they broke he madly rushed in, at
gered by the Unexpected. attack which,
II it hadn't been they had agreed to
fight under straight rules where each
must protect himself atSalI times,
would have been unfair. They were
in a fast exchange at the bell.
Angered and with revengeful
lock on his set face, Manieri bore
dow. upon his lanky antagonist at the
start OF the eighth. They swapaed
ineffective blows, each blocking WI
and for minute or so the advantage e
was first one way or the sther, but
with Burke lighting harder and hard
ar with every rush.
THE FATEFUL WALL0P.
Finally, as Burke stepped back out
Of clinch, Manieri rushed in, his
aands held up in front of his face for
protection. Thea he shot a left, un-
covering the left OF his face. Almost
like streak, the extraordinarily long
right arm of Burke whipEeI IN, with
every ounce of Burke's loo pounds
behind it. It was straight and true,
md caught Manieri flush on the jaw,
hurting him on the ropes dazed. With
the lunge. Burke followed his man
up, and stopped his own onward
charge by bringing heavy left into
.1aneri'o stomach.
The Bay st. Louis youngster fell
forward, staggering, and as Burke
desperately tried tc stave off defeat
desperately triedto stave off defeat by
by getting III telling punch.
Burke was thwarted in his de-
signs by being over-anXious. He was
wild and all his rusbes carried him to
close quarters, where his long arms
were Ineffective. He rushed Manieri
over to Manieri's side of the ring.
Manieri weak and hardly able to
stand, toppled backward over the
ropes, Burke pitched headlong over
him.
Manieri landed fiat on his head,
receiving a crushing blow, while
I,rle plunged right over the laps Of
ringsiders.
Manieri seemed much the worse for
the fall, and though he weathered the
round, it was obvious his doom was
sealed.
Burke jumped on him feroclously
in the ninth, and in few seconds
smashed in another right cross, which
had Manieri again cropping bhndly
about, only worse than before. A
heavy left hock,s all in, and just as
Burke was about to send home a left
hook, Wambsgans stepped in be-
tween them, caught the blow, showed
Burke back and elevated Martins
lean arm in token of victory.
HAPPINESS-SORROW.
A mighty shout went up from the
Burke faction. While the Gulf Coast
RS, Just as game as Manieri had been,
yrinned sadly and took their medicine.
Of course there was talk of Man
ieri's fall having lots to do with his
defeat. Undoubtedly, he was hurt
n the topple.. But, in the writer's
opinion, he was beaten boz fesore
5hey fell out of the ring, and while
.he result might not have been as
speedy, it would have been the same
hing later if there had been no fall.

And Now a Word for Russ Manieri.

And Row d Word tor Nuss Manner.
The Times-Picayune of Wednes-
Jay, commenting on the fight, con-
Gained the following, very conpli
mentary indeed to our young Bay
st. Louis athlete:
Being popular in defeat" is
sad state of affairs for any scrap
per in these days when it is almost
a necessity to keep winning if the
low of coin is to be maintained,
yet Russell Manieri lost no follow
ing when he was stopped Monday
might in the ninth round by Martin
Burke.
Burhe's long tour with Jack Demp
sey, his many tryouts and his we'll
arranged campaign of fights brought
Burke up to place where he could
almost be considered a seasoned
lighter compared with Manierl. Ma
nieri, an unsophisticated youth bare
ly out of his teens, had been devel-
oped, you might say i'm a CORES
pondence school. His practical ex-
perience was nil, and practical ex-
perience is second cousin to every
thing.
Manieri must have been woefully
inexperienced to stop fighting en-
tirely, lower his guard, take his
eyes off Burke and converse with the
referee as he did Monday night III
the seventh round. A man who had
fought would have realized that, un-
der the ''protect-your-self-at-all-
times" rule he was putting hlmse +
open to attack, and if Manieri had
known that, he never would have
received those two damaging blows
which, many believe, furnished the
real turning point in the fight.
Burke, quick as flash, jumped IN
and smote the unthinking lad heavi-
| ly in the stomach, and then brought
a vicious left hook to the jaw, shoot
ing his right home just a moment
behind.
That was an unlucky break for
Manieri, as also was his fall on his
| head. But the first came about
| through Manieri's inexperience, and
| therefore, cannot be said his de-
feat was a ffuke. while the fall oc-
Cured after Manieri was well beat
en-.
| There never was such fcptlon
| given a fighter making his debut as
was handed Manieri, Not only did
| the Gulf coasters liz their voices IN
welcome, but hundreds of local fight
followers, who appreciate clean
cut, youthful and plucky beginner,
Joined in the uproar. They all real
lied that Manieri, in taking on
| Burke and skipping az 1.-THE easy
! plckings which usually start every
| tighter on his career, was showing
| spirit that was just a little Soo
| Isportsn,anlike for this cold-biooded
commercialized, present-day Worle
| OF pugilism.
| Then when Manieri fought, ane
showed every ealsEnark OF q real
| fighter excepting, of course, ex-
lperience}, those who had taken *

OF scrapper which always has sroot
