CHINESE BANTAM MAKES
RING DEBUT IN GOTHAM
Eeh o9-At Madison

NEW YORK, Feb. 22.-At Madison
Square Garden tonight George Lee,
the Chinese bantam from N'Orleans, Will
make his New York debut in a battle
with Midget Smith, the new Knockout
sensation among the little fellows.
Lee is not the very first Chinaman
who has followed boxing closely
enough to take an active part In ",
but he Is unquestionsbly the best.
There was All Wing OF twenty years
ago In Frisco. All Wing wore his
queue wrapped around his head, and
as a rule he was busy rewrapping the
queue around his head with one hand
and standing off an opponent with the
other. He was n sensation while he
lasted.
Lee has been more than that in
New Orleans for the past year or
more. He can fight. He has gone the
limit with Pete Herman and several
others and was the life OF the bantam
party in the city of fond memories.
Lee doesn't wear queue. The
chances are he never would have worn
one. as he is thoroughly Americanized,
the rather natural consequence OF
having been born here.

But il was breach of social eti-
quette for three bulls to droo off the
rear platform of the Matewan local
without first notifying the chief OF
police that they were coming. They
know right smart about toting guns
up in Matewan, and they don't want
no outsiders tapping in giving them
private exhibitions on how to twirl a
trigger.

is Matewnn. II L. always the next

It doesn't seem right to talk about
the departed, but IL this serves as
warning TO expectsnt visitors to

pas will be pardonable. The only
good judgment those detectives
showed when they went TO Matewan
was not to buy roun1-trip tickets.

In no fight in which Smith has en-
gagged was his face so twisted and
mussed up as in last nights bump.
Matty certainly did bang him. He
raised a few kopjes on his frontpiece.
he made his nose blue, and smoked
both his lamps.
The only punch that Smith had in
his repertoire was a kidney rip in
the clinches. And Matty minded it as
much as a small boy does the calling
of his mother when his mother is out
of sight.
Right after the bell in the final
round Smith wrestled Matty down and
was cautioned by the referee. Smith
spologized and the men shook hands.
Then Matty stepped back. Smith
rushed. He rushed into straight

right. II was a good, stiff, hard, and
clean blow. 1t stretched Mr.. Smith
