The contest that will always stand
out in my mind as the toughest tussle
/ have ever been in was the one with
Knockout Sweeney, of New York, in
New York. You know. Sweeney came
from the lower East Side, while I was
Harlem resident when made my
home in the big city. As Sweeney had
cleaned up, all the local boys in his
neighborhood by the knockout route,
and also quite few boxers In my own
section, a bitter feeling existed among
the fans Of both districts.
Up until that time, which was in
1915. l had been boxing about four
years. but had had comparatively few
matches. Despite the fact that Swee-
ney had il on me for experience, my
gang got after me: johnny, it's up TO
you to get Sweeney; you've got to
fight that guy and knock him dead"
Faction Fight

for my end of the bout, and | was to

Sweeney had agreed to the same terms.
The night of the fight came. The
feeling among our respective factions,
in the meantime, had become more bit
ter than ever, and when Sweeney and !
met in the same dressing room we
sprang at each other For fully ten
minutes we socked and rocked each
other all around the little room. and
our handlers were urging us on when
the matchmaker made his appearance,
pulled US apart and asked US to finish
the fuss in the ring. Give the crowd

LANCASTER SEEKS
READING QUINTET
Eastern League Franchise May
Be Transferred After Game
With Camden Tonight

TNIiE Reading basketball team, with
K Trenton, the only original members
at present connected with the Eastern
basketball League, may bid adieu to
that organization with the playing of
tonight's game in the Reading Armory
with Camden.
This was learned from the members
of the team at Trenton last evening.
where the Bears were beaten in the first
game Of the second half by the score
of 81 to 26. One Of the surprises Of
the season was sprung when ''Horse"
liaggerty made his appearance with
Reading.
The big fellow has been let loose by
the Celtics and did not get into action
until the second half. His entrance into
the game helped the upstaters. although
the play was not as close as the figures
indicate. Trenton just took things easy
and played the forty minutes.
The Reading franchise will likely go
to Lancaster. That town is interested
in basketball and up until a few weeks
ago n Sunday club was drawing good
crowds. A deal is now on for the trans
fer Of the team and is expected to be
closed some time today.

Two Safe Crowns

AT LEAST two fistic crowns look
n TO be entirely safe as we push fur
ther forward along the unknown jungle
paths of the new year. Dempsey, as
king Of the heavyweight division, and
Leonard, as mandarin Of the light
weights, are still beyond danger. Demp-
sey is farther from the reach Of hostile
gloves than Leonard is, but the sleep OF
neither Is haunted by mocking night
mares OF defeat.
A year from now should find both
occupying the same thrones, merely a
trife closer to the inevitable.
Worthy--and Others
DEMPSEY, Leonard, Britton and
- Buff are worthy champions, with
the latter pair facing enough robust
competition to round out q lively year.
Britton is trife old as ring cham
pions go, but still holding on with a
firm grip.
Buff is in the midst Of n swarm of
bees, all possessing Furnishing stings.
But the odds favor his outlook for an
other year. anyway.
The situation changes q trihe when
we come to the cases of featherweight
Kilbane and middleweight Wilson.
Kilbane was a good fellow when he
had it, referring to most things a cham
pion needs.
But his day has passed-and he now
refuses to meet any first class opponent,
holding his crown under lock and pad
lock.
You cant beat man who won't start
and Kilbane won't even make mo-
ton.
