were red with rust, and there was

About Harry AppIGgate's
Refusal TO Fight COyna

There were many disappointments
at the LOtos Club last Friday night
when announcement vase made that
Harry Applegate. OF New Brunswick.
who was scheduled to fight Jack Coy

The sporting editor has received the
following letter relative to Apple
gates action:
June s. 1918.
Sporting Editor
Perth Amboy, N. J.
Dear Sir:
Permit the undersigned to express
the courage Of his convictions regard
ing the unsportsmanship on
the part of Harry Applegate who fall
ed to meet Jack Coyne popular box
ing instructor of Camp Morgan and a
prime mover in all athletic activities
for the Z. NJ. c.. A. and who takes a
keen interest for the men Of the camp.
sharing in the sport among them,
Jack had trained faithfully for this
star s round bout with the New
Brunswick boy which was scheduled
to be held at the Perth Amboy boxing
club last Friday night.
What is the sense of a man clafm-
ing to be a fighter and at the last mo-
ment refuse to meet his opponent in
the fistic areana, in the person OF
Jack Coyne welter-weight boxer.
mo doubt Harry likes to pick out
HIS opponents and make a great show
ing among khe sporting fraternity by
out pointing boxers of mediocre quail
ity whereas Jack Coyne has fought
the best boys IN the light and welter-
weight classes giving the sporting fans
a run for the money and who is now
in line for the welter-weight cham
pionsDip p. Jack Coyne is willing TO box
Harry Applegate for any sporting
club in the country for any number OF
rounds and willing to wager any sum
of money that Applegate desires to
put up.
This shows Coyne means business
and the Lotos Athletic Club could
stage this star puglistic bout as it
would be a hummer from the tap Of
the gong to the finish

Metuchen Is not a long course, but

No attempt has been made to operate

having to await their turn. The loca-
