Dengue "Gets" The Banner.

Last week the Banner all but had
two editors on the job; this week 1t
has none which is to say that at the
time this IS written TUESDAY mighty
we are both in bed from attacks OF
zdengue fever, and have been all the
week. Fortunately, our faithful limo
type operator is still up and about and
at his post of duty. And another big
help has been copy that has come in
from friends about town and time-tried
correspondents scattered throughout
the parish. For all Of which We are
duly appreciative. As we have a num-
Der Of times before remarked In the

keep on going. and that is particularly
true at this time. Thanks, friends

bits worth Of blue bIotting paper, and
It stays on, too, and acute pains that
are new to vou come and linger around
like a twin brother should. The fever
leaves the patient at night, but comes
back the next day told faithfully and
does as 1t plesises about climbing on up
lin some cases way up And In the
meantime one loses his appetite lis en-
tirely on feedand the inside of his
mouth tastes like q. family Of second

stopped him in six rounds with
body punch that Dougherty IN
sisted was foul. Next Dougherty
put Barrett in against Charley
White at the Velodrome, and
White stopped him with little
chop that landed on Barretts
neck.
A suspicion that frs: developed
in our mind when VIC saw Bobby
fight Tender, that Bobby couldn't
take it," as the boys say, was
strengthened by the White en-
counter. Marks has proved that
Bobby's chin is a bit too fragile,

little Marks victory. Bobby is

Dougherty was criticized by

barrett'S caNDer In on q Dig main
event in New York city right on
top Of a quick defeat by Tender.
Simply Lacks STRENGTH.
C0ME may argue that Barrett
- was "softened up" by Tendler
~ and White, but surely he
ought to have had stamina enough
to 60 at least three minutes
against Marks.
Tender never hit him on the
chin when he knocked him out and
neither did White, so that portion
Of his anatomy hadn't been weak
ened. No, we are forced to the
conclusion that Robert simply
lacks the physical strength that q
real fighter must possess.
We think he has courage and we
know he has great hitting power.
That lets him out. Our old friend
Jim Dougherty has been backing
a bust" and the best he has got
out of It is q lot of criticism when
he deserved whatever praise goes
with handling a prize fighter.
He's No Mere Child.
WE are not supporting the
" practice of putting young
W boys in the ring. In fact,
we are strongly against it, and
applaud the New York State ath-
letic commission for putting a
stop to it in New York rings.
But Barrett, with soma years
of experience behind him, was
by no means excessively youth
full when he met Tender end
White, and the criticism of the
good Baron of Leiperville was
misdirected.
Jack Dempsey won the heavy
weight championship Of the world
at twenty-three, and he fought
such as Gunboat Smith, John Les
ter johnson, Charley Miller, Willie
Meehan, AL Morton and dozen
other tough birds when he was
around twenty-one.
We know q couple Of young
sters we would like to see get
Bobby Barrett's opportunities.
