Madden a Tough Battler.

Frank j. Mccoy OF Boston intlmates
that the recent declaration In this col
umn that BARLEY Madden was tough
fighter was based solely on the fact OF
Madden lasting ten rounds with Ton,
Gibbons. Mccoy puts In a good word
for Porky Flynn, who also lasted ten
rounds with Gibbons.
Madden's reputation as a rugged char
does not rest on his ten rounds with
Gibbons. Madden has had bruising bat
ties with nearly all the heavies. and his
work against big Fulton was sensa-
tional.
Charlie Weinert, the Newark heavy.

Douglas Stuart. an English book
maker perhaps thought he was telling
New Workers. some startling facts when
he made this statement about boxing
In England:
London has few halls suitable for
housing large boxing clubs. The Ma
tional Sporting Club is really the only
organization for a champion to fight at
In England Under existing conditions
hardly think that the National would
feel itself Justified In giving your cham
pions the purses they are accustomed to
here"
+. would seem from Mr.. Stuart's re-
marks that he has not been IN London
for some years. Otherwise he would
know that Albert Hail. where Carpenter

balls in the world and admirably adapt
cd to boxing. The interior Is circular

lave taken place, Is larger than Madi

persons. Holborn Stadium. where Car
pentier battered Beckett. will hold be
tween 1000 and 5000 persons.
A. F.. Bettinson. manager OF the Ma.
ticnal Sporting Club, realized long ago
that the National Sporting Club wal
inadequate for staging big bouts, and HI
took long term lease on Holland Park
which will hold from 5000 TO 10000
persons.
The bouts that now take place at thu
National Sporting Club are City and in
