SLATTERY REMAINS
PROMISING RINGMAN
BY FAIR PLAY.

NEW YORK, September 1.-Two
months ago and Jimmy Slattery was
the most promising fighter before the
public, If you listened to the so-called
experts. Today the same experts are
setting him down as the biggest bust
that ever stepped into a ring.
Something between these two ex.
tremes will be better suited to Mr..
Slattery. He was promising. and he
is promising. But from the first 1t
looks as though he and his hackers
were more interested in quick money
than in building properly for a bril-
liant prize ring career.
After he was tossed into a match
against Dave Shade the writer sug-
gested that he be put through a
course of sprouts against tough local
boys in all parts of the country in
order that he might gain experience
Instead of doing anything like this
he is matched with Paul Berlenbach
and his fate last night was precisely
what every one familiar with the fight
game expected that it would be.
After the first few rounds he pluck
ed up courage and was leading very
nicely until the eleventh, when Paul
nicked him on the chin and sent him
to the floor. Then followed repeated
knockdowns, until the humane referee
stopped the fight.
The writer still maintains that Slat.
terry has all sorts of prospects. But
he has got to go on tour and fight his
way back into the estimation of the
