Barrett Is Peeved
Bobby Barrett is carrying a Crouch

Jimmy Dougherty, his manager, and the
Baron adds, 80 am l." "Neither Of

Barrett knows he was hit low punch
80 do ], and no one has told me yet,
or else they haven't had the nerve. that
1t wasn't foul"
Barrett is in strict training at the
present time. informs Dougherty. and
he will be right when he goes I'D against
Joe yelling next Friday night at Shibe
Park. He'll knock yelling for a couple
of goaln sure, and then if I am able to
convince a promoter that Bobby ought
to be given another chance with the
southpaw I'll be ready to sign articles
"We won't be satisfied that Tendler
Is Barrett's master until they meet
again"
Barrett and yelling are to meet in

contest with Johnny Dundee. will box

tation as a 126-pounder, and picked
by Gotham experts as dangerous con =
tender for Johnny Kilbane's crown.
Eddie Fitzsimmons, the New York
southpaw who once knocked down
Tender, will pair of with Earl France !;
Joe O'Donnell will clash with Benny
Berris, and Ad Stone will take on

A "Scrap Of Paper
Agreement Of the match between
Jack Dempsey and Harry Wills would
seem to be ''scrap of paper" The
articles framed last week for the inter.
racial heavyweight contest apparently
are not worth the paper it was written
on.
According to the agreement signed
by Jack Kearns. for Dempsey, and
Paddy Mullins, for Wills, the contest
must be held within sixty days Of the
acceptance Of successful bid. There
doesn't seem to be any promoter around
willing to put on the match other than
Tex. Richard. aud he says he doesn't
see how 1t would be possible for him to
handle the contest much before June
80, 1923.
II the agreement signed by the prin-
cipals means anything 1t would seem
hardly possible to bring the men to-
gether within sixty days after the &C.
Of a satisfactory bid unless
BID from Richard Is ignored, or said
Rtckard bid is not accepted until
around May l of next year.
