MOUTHFUL HERE

Sports Editor Evening Jourrrar-
Dear Sir. for ono do not think
that all this newspaper talk Ia going
TO help the boxing game IN WIZ
mington so have kept quiet on the
matter up 10 this time On August
2. the Daily Battleaxe said:
The Journal printed opinions
about tho Morrow Sum bout which
generally reversed q certain decs-
sion but nothing further has been
said about IT.
That statement looks Ike an
invitation for me to come forth
with my statement The Morning
News gave the decision to Sum and
] have that clipping pasted in
book with Sums record as Il was
tho only decision rendered.
What appeared In the Journal
was only a contradiction. not de-
cision.
The sporting world loves a man
who will stick by his favorite
whether he wins or loses, but some
OF Morrow's admirers have over
stepped the mark.
When Sum entered the ring there
was hardly murmur while Morrow
received an ovation. ..4.
The same can be said about tho
Leonard-Johnson bout ..
Battling Leonard, who b KID
Sums younger brother, laced VIII
lie Johnson so bad that the doctor
was called to the dressing room to
attend TO Johnson Stil the crowd
went wild when johnson left the
ring while Leonard hardly got
notice. I expect such when I meet
a boy At his own club.
When a man like Bader comes out
with a statement that 1 told Morrow
that he was the only boy that licked
Sum. think as Sums manager It
Is my duty 10 deny the same.
II Bader is bold enough to make
that statement there is no doubt he
would swear TO H.
Bader and a few others say they
have been following the boxing
game for rs years. Such may be "a
but they caught up to 1t only wheIi
there was a smoker In Wilmington
with a hat collection II there had
been an advance sale OF tickets they
would stln be following. Bader
claims Morrow won every round in
cluding the sixth. while Sam Bell
gives Morrow FIVE rounds as he was
using his only method OF defence
his jab.
Sam Bell had his eyes shut wher
? Sum was landing telling blows I,
r Morrow's head and stomach whicl
e had Morrow holding on in the fiftl
]. and sixth rounds.
= John b. Pietuscha says n was
good draw. but II a shade shoul
be given he believes II belongs {
Ie Morrow. Surely ]. h. can see q
n we'll as Bader or Bill
l. In answer TO Mr.. SturTiss VIII
u challenges KID Sum on behalf {
his protege Billy carney, wi
n state:
SUM has met and defeated Car
q ney seven times Carney claims
= draw with Sum on January 81
(. which the Morning News gave witt
my consent as they were rematche'
E for February IA l have clipping
2 from Chester and Wilmingtoi oi
papers that give Sum the fight b.
a big margin. 1 am going TO talk
over a big out-of-town club at th'
expiration OF the present lease ans
then / will be in a position TO settl'
some OF this paper talk with n
round bouts.
In the meantime. n Carney o
Sturgtss can arrange a bout witt
some OF those promoters they boas
Of knowing. l am ready to talk bus
mess and 1 hope it's a weeks shoE
so Sum can add seven more win
to his record.
can be reached through the Del
aware A c. II East Fourth stree
any time
Hoping this win be noticed. I re
main,
Yours In Sport.
