Carroll Ready To Fight
New Borough BatfIer,
Manager Nash Explains

Johnny Carroll, lightweight cilam-
pion of Middlesex county, who halls
from the Chrome section of Carteret,
will defend his laurels the ring for
some time to come judging from the
following def sent out by his mana
ger. William II. Nash:
"Carteret, N. j., Feb. 70, 1928
Sporting Editor News.
Dear Sir:
Contrary TO ruInors being circu-
lated that Benny Hertz of Carteret is
willing TO meet Johnny Carroll, pride
of the Chrome section, for the light
weight championship of the county,
] wish to make it plain to the fight
fans and promoters of this section
that Carroll is over anxious TO meet
Hertz but under n Renaissance will
Hertz fight Carroll. Hertz is only
looking for publicity and using this
challenge to boost his stock which at
present, / am sorry to say, is worth
less.
Recently a contract was drawn
trying to match these two men for a
benefit show to be Eeld in Carteret,
the proceeds less cost Of running to

go 70 Mike Cotter, an ex-pug nov
crippled al a result of an accident.
The handlers Of Hertz demanded a
sum equal to that asked by a star in
this section and is out OF question
unless Hertz can promise 10 draw a
crowd as large or nearly as large az
CARROTS following.
1T is known that Carroll is one
Of the best drawing cards in this part
OF the state and his willingness to
mix has the fans roofing and pulling
for him. On the other hand Hertz
hardly is known TO all the fans, ha--
ing had little experience compared
to the present champion. For this
reason he should not ask an amount
equal to that received by the veteran.
In connection with the challenges
Of the youngsters handlers Carroll Is
willing to meet Hertz under any Of
the following conditions which
should be acceptable TO the supposed
to be sporting manager;

tract is in the hands of Matchmaker
