.Auera's Manager Says There VIII
 Be No Decision

Taking a crack at decisions given in the Birmingham fight ring and hurling a defy at Johnny Mc0inty and his manager, Jack Bodine. Walk Miller, manager of Larry Avera, who meets McGinty Monday night in t0-round bout at the Athletic club, has written a letter, in which hs states that there will be no need for decisions in the coming bout that If there is cause for giving decision the margin will be so wide that 1t will take little judgment to decide the winner.
 Miller is also manager of Battling Budd. over whom McGinty won . de- cision couple of weeks ago in the B. A. c. ring. and Walk was not satisfied with the decision and is not slow in saying so.
 His letter follows:
 Sporting Editor, Age-Hera1d:
 Dear Sir:-'I note with much in- terest that Johnny McGinty. the present idol of the Birmingham fans, is boasting a great deal regarding his judge decision over Battling Budd there recently and is making predictions as to the outcome of the coming Avera match that Is to be staged there on Monday night.
 Kindly permit me to express my opinion both regarding the recent
 
 match with Avera. To begin with T want to vote Birmingham the cham pion of the world in rendering fa- vorable decisions to their local fighters; all that is necessary for one of the Birmingham boys to do Is to stay in there and they are a 100 to shot to win the decision.
 T have & faint recollection of having brought Bill Bailey over one time for match against Sailor Dicon, in this match l think Bill knocked Dixon down several times cleanly and at the bouts conclusion, the third man in the ring as well as Dixon both admitted that Bailey had clearly won. To my amusement when the judges passed in their tickets the referee went over and held up the hand of Dixon and declared him winner on points. .g
 Regarding the recent match with Budd I do not think that Budd won the fight, neither do I feel that Me Ginty won. it looked like one. of those affairs that both lost as it lacked the action that makes a good fight with a winner at the end.
 The match Monday will be jam med full of action I will assure yosI as Avera is now in the best condition of his career and cannot afford to take a chance on the outcome Of one of those funny decisions. Larry will be in there from the tap of the gong seeking away for a knockout and should he fail to accomplish this feat, he expects to leave no doubt in the minds of the fans, judges, sporting scribes and McGinty as to Who is the winner. You may say for me that McGinty will see more gloves Monday night than he has witnessed in his entire career in the squared circle.
 Thanking you for the above and looking toward to meeting you upon my visit there Monday, with kindest personal regards and best wishes, know 1 am, sincerely yours,
 "WALK MILLER"
