FeathertUeight Champ viii
Receipe Guarantee OF
$4,000 for an Eight
Rounder in Jersey City
BENNY HAS WALLOP
BY LOUIS II. JAFFE

TNEN thousand dollars is the bait
L gently dangling in the pugilistic sea
for Johnny Kilbane. And the champion
is nibbling at it--gently. Dave Driscoll,
Of Jersey City, has made this young
fortune offer to J. Patrick for an eight
round bout. Benny Valger is to be the
party of the second part. And Kilbane
has announced his willingness to accept
the match.
But, Valger is not ready to say the
word. Benny is perfectly satisfied to
meet Kilbane-all right, and for such
bout the persistent challenger of the
featherweight titleholder has agreed to
accept 20 per cent Of the gate receipts.
However, Joe Jacobs. twenty three old
manager of Valger, decided not to take
the match for January 10, on which
date Driscoll wanted to put on the bat
tie.
Has Good Reason
Jacobs's reason is plausible. Because
Benny is scheduled to meet SO tough q
customer as Matt Brock three days be
fore that date-this Friday night, to be
exact, at Baltimore-Joe believed Valgei
would be unable TO answer the tinglt
of the gong against the champion in the
best of shape. The Baltimore contest
will be a twelve round affair to q
referees decision, with Pop O'Brien
of this city, rendering the verdict.
Then on January 80. Valger is signed
to meet his former stablemate, Willie
Jackson, at Newark, N. j. Following
this mix, Manager Jacobs plans to Civ
Benny a well earned rest. after whicl
he will be ready for the Kilbane meet
ing. All of which means that Kilbane
Valger contest probably will be put OIL
some time in February.
Valger is the most active boxer il
the country today. He has been appear
ing in an average of five bouts a month
Jacobs admits that Benny's purses sine
last September aggregate 100000; still
the figures might be changed a bit whe
Uncle Sam comes around for his cut
