The evening world., 1919-10-13


- EoRGIE BROWN. the local
bantamweight, evidently has
been the victim Of a manage
rial trick, which Is becoming quite
common these days in boxing circles.
And IL is tricks OF this kind that put
the sport in bad repute. We know
nothing Of the facts in the case, but
me boys own statement surely Is
worth something. Read what he says
and then draw your own conclusions:
There was n report sent to the
various newspapers 10 the effect that
George Brown OF the west side was
Knocked out last Friday evening at
n club In Providence. X. I. Allow me
10 say that the report Is untrue, as
was in New York City when the bout
was supposed to have taken place.
But here arc the facts OF the matter.
On Thursday evening, Oct. 2, | was
boxing for Mr. Monteith at a club in
Atlantic City. He had me matched
with a man named Al Brown, who
outweighed me by twelve pounds. Az
ter giving him "a nice licking / was
the recipient OF the large sum OF $40
Scotty'e ether two men, namely,
Mickey Russell anl Mel Coogan. were
also paid "A sum OF money which /
don't want TO disclo unless neces-
sary. | waited from / o'clock till s
70 get hold OF Monteith 10 secure my
money so as | could buy something
10 eat. After finding my efforts un-
successful 1 went C. the hotel and
ga l.a1 La.
woke us all up In order that he could
ret the train for New York on time.
lie then told me he wanted me TO
box In Rhode Island the same night
When we arrived in the city told
him ] couldn't go through with his
plans, as | was well tired out and in
no shape TO go through with II. Well,
to make long story short Scotty
brought driver UP there under my
name and he was knocked out In two
rounds. Now 10 prove my assertion
will be willing 20 accept a match
with the opponent who stopped the
supposed George Brown, and II fail
to defeat him / will contribute my
end Of the purse to any fund that
may be named"
IT'S hard TO believe that Scotty Mon
teith would stoop to such meanness
as this.
+ Eo p. FLYNN got himself and
his fighter. Bill Brennan. n littls
advertising last week with his
twelve facts" designed to show why
Brennan should be the first man 20
tackle Dempsey. But he also stirred
up Dan Morgan. who has Battling
Levinsky on the champions trail. one
might Just as well stir up hornets
nest. Morgan comes back at the
loquacious Leo like this:
cit would be a crime to send Bill
Brennan against Dempsey. Jack hit
Brennan on the, chin and besides
knocking him out. broke his ankle
NTH the same punch. II Dempsey
met Brennan again and hit him on
the chin he might break his back, and
then all hands would be in a Jam.
Miske gave Brennan bad beating In
Tulsa n few months ago, taking a
flfteen-round decision, and right after
that Battling Levinsky met Miske and
easily defeated him AT Toledo, July 3.
with Levinsky's speed and boxing
ability he win outpoint the rough
house champion. Dempsey. in eight
rounds. No slugger can beat Demp-
sey. IL will take a boxer with brains.
That means that Leyinsky is the boy
that will throw gloves at the man
crusher in eight rounds.
'I-evinslxy Is ready TO box Brennan
any distance. i would sugses, eight
rounds In Jersey. as that is the place
where the champion viii meet the
winner. Brennan's manager wants
twenty rounds In New Orleans. That
club is 1000 miles from New York
Brennan wants Levlnsky TO chase hin
that distance. II we do Brennan will
no doubt get cold feet and run HON,
a9nin. To avoid Brennan's quitting
ana running OUT OF the match let th'
two fight II out either at the Sports
mans Club of Newark or AZ tn,
armory In Jersey City. Then th'
public OF the East can judge which o
the men should fight Dempsey"
From the foregoing II seems as II I
Dempsey match with LevlnslSy, Bren
N-nan OF some one else is in the fir,
