RED ALLEN MOVING UP.

All fight fans were glad to hear that Johnny Red Allen, the greatest left handler ever developed by the Crash oes, started in at Madison Square Garden the other night with clean cut knockout.
 It seems to us that Allen has at last come across the proper prescrip- ton or the success and recognition that has for so long been denied him meaning a capable manager, and one who will handle him right and think fast. And in Fred DeLorme, a clean and Hkeable sportsman who stands head and shoulders above the multi tude of managers, Johnny the Red has found the pilot he so sadly need- ed all along.
 If Allen cannot make good under DeLorme's clever tuIelage. he might just as well quit the game, for he can't make good under anybody, and it has been demonstrated that he could not make good while acting as his own manager.
 Any fighter with the wallop that l Allen carries ought to meet with a
 very fair share of success, and iron, | now on, provided Red sticks to his | knitting, we may expect to hear good 1 things of him whenever he takes that l Mary Ann clout of his into action.
