HARTLEY WILL
FORCE BLOOM
Durable Dane Confident of
Another Victory Over
Brooklyn Battler.

Baltimore. March I1.--Leo Flynn,
well-known fistic manager of New
York, whose lightweight star, Pete
Hartley. meets Phil Bloom, of Brook
lyn. in the 15-round feature event of
the American Athletic Association s
bangup card Friday at Albaugh's, is
raving mad over the insinuations
made by Jack Asher, who handles
Bloom. to the effect that his charge
was not In shape in the mill which
took place few weeks back.
Here's what Flynn chirps: ASHER
and Bloom are poor losers. especially
when they mention that Phil was not
in shape. If / had any idea Hartley
would not repeat his win over Bloom
the bout on Friday would not have
been arranged; but so confident are
We of taking Blooms measure that
we have insisted that the articles be
drawn up on the 65-per-cent- tot the
winner and 35-per- tot he loser
basis. Does this show We are afraid
of losing?
THE Durable Dane Is fighting in
great style at present. A week ago
yesterday he went into Pittsburgh
and beat that tough bird Johnnie
Ray, in a ten-round bout The bell
in the eighth round saved Ray from
trip to dreamland. and every
Smoky City scribe agreed the day
following that Hartley won in a
walk. Previous to the win over
Ray. Hartley gave George, CYoung)
Ernc lambasting right here in
Baltimore. and l am sure his show
ing against Erne was enough to
convince skeptic fans that Pete is
capable of taking care of himself in
Fridays set-to."
Fans here are especially anxious
to watch Johnnie Fisse, of New Or
leans. who meets frankie Rice, of
Baltimore, in the semi windup.
Fisse is the lad who holds four
wins and draw in six engage
ments with present world bantam
weight champion, Pete Herman.

MAY PICK EDDYSTONE
FOR HEAVY BATTLE

Scranton. Pa, March 11-Accord-
ing to reports received here from
Harrisburg, the boxing bill intro
duced in the State Senate over a
month ago at the request of John
McVarish, Of this city, has been
sidetracked in a committee, as a
part of a move said to be under
way to have the willard
fight for the world championship
staged at Eddystone. Pa. The
rumors that Philadelphia promoters,
who are trying to land the big bout,
realize the contest could not be held
with a boxing commission in con-
troll OF the game in this State.
whereas il present conditions con-
tinue 1t might be possible to obtain
the consent Of the local authorities
at Eddystone to stage the bout.
John McVarish has heard nothing
more in reference to the bill. He
still believes it will be passed by
the legislature and also signed by
the governor.
