The epistle of Billy Smith, nanag- CT of Bud Weafer, in yesterday S Times, stirred Roy Loveridge, Steady Steadmans manager, to the ink sling ing point.
 Loveridge comes back with the re- tort that if Weafer is so confident he can defeat the Bridgeport boxer he will quickly sign up for the bout with Steady as per offer of Matchmaker George Dwyer for the Casino bouts on April A. Loveridge also says he will be willing to post $500 as a wager that Steadman will hand the Norwalk batt1er a licking.
 The letter follows:
 G. E. Firstbrook, Sport Editor the
 Times:
 ''It was very amusing to read the letter in last nights Times written by Vim. H. Smith, manager of Weafer.
 .'I agree with you when you say it looks like poor spoTtsmanship to ar que over a referees decision and it is not doing justice to Freddie Bosse either.
 From the way Smiths letter reads it looks as though Weafer is trying to evade the issue of meeting Stead man on April 4, as George Dwyer has offered Weafer a match with Stead man at the best terms Weafer ever has received for boxing on any card and if Weafer is so positive he beat Steady and was entitled to the de-

cision he would jump at the chance of meeting him again as any boxer ought to be glad to have the oppor- tunity to work on Q Bridgeport A. & A. card, as their shows are always success, so if Weafer does not sign up for the 4th, Manager Smith had better start making up an alibi.
 "Weafer wants to meet Palitz and Morley, now Pa1itz lost to Morley and 'Steady's' record book shows a draw with Morley, although every news paper gave the bout to Steadman.
 ''Now if Weafer and his Norwalk friends are so confident of defeating Stea dman all they have to do is sign up fea' the 4th of April and post any amount as a side bet up to $500 or more with any newspaper, which will be immediately covered by Steadnan's followers.
 ''Weafer will have a chance to prove that he is a legitimate weIter- weight when he meets Steady this time, as he will have to make 147 pounds as the bout will not be at catchweights like at the Columbia.
 "In closing would say that Weafer may be welterweight king of Norwalk but he is not king of Connecticut. as there is but one we1terweight king of Connecticut and New England and that gentleman is Joe smiths battler Louis Rogash of Bridgeport.
 "Sincerely yours,
 "ROY LOVERIDGE"
