Pants Ruined; Disposition, Too
Hacking of Schwartz Out of Decision Over Landers Mars
Otherwise Good Card at Twin City.

base ball umpire. Until last night,
l never had seen him as a fight referee.
Pardon the criticism, Mr. Kelly, but
Ed slaps the boys around too much,
pokes in when it is unnecessary. and
certainly on two occasions caused
Schwartz to be clipped on the beard
when he held his arms coming out of
clinch. Benny had a right to be
peeved and. for minute, 1t appeared
as If the little Hebrew boy was going
to do a Bill Dickey in there on Ed.
That was bad.
Maybe, Mr.. Kelly, the old eyes are
going back on me. They are not as
good as they once were, but my sheet
Tailed the first round even, the sixth
and seventh rounds to Landers, and
five heats to the Baltimore boy.
Maybe. it is true that a prophet is
without honor in his own country,
but in the city they would have given
the battle to Schwartz.
1 tried to get the Messrs. Pete Moran
of Philadelphia and Tommy Loughlin
of Baltimore, two very keen men OF
boxing, to air their views, but they were
noncommittal. But I noted tears in the
eyes of many others, including my pal
Jack Eyerhardt of your commission, who,
like Mr. Schuckman, also of your august
body, was dabbing his eyes, and looking
for the Messrs. Brockman, Short and
Thomas, who, Mr.. Mickey Brooks tells
me, must have hoped the fence.
Mdybe am all 1ret, Mr.. Kelly, sort
OF feeling the adrance of years but,
aside from, iUoTrying about you firing
me up nith pair OF pants, am
afraid that maybe ii ycu do not cdu-
ton the officials to sharpen their
peppers, Mr.. Pete Moran and his
friend, Steue Seth, the ne,O Balti-
more promoters, uiLl 90 the route OF
the rest of the pack iCllo 1Uere under
the guidance of the Maryland State
Athletic Commission. The customers
sure get peeved these days at barney
dukes
Outside Of that atrocious decision
Mr.. Kelly, Mr.. Fats Cornell, Mr.. Patsy
Donovan, and the rest of the boys iden-
titled with the Twin City Club gave
the trade very nice evening of clout-
ing. Nick Antonelli of the Mohawk
Club. featherweight, gave fine
demonstration of how to stick out a
left hand and keeping it moving. He
ratified the jab off Joe Brunos face,
and then switched left hook to the
body. It was as good as the one-round
kayo Of Billy Essingers over Billy
Kelly, the three-round kayo by Charlie
Thompson over Jimmy Moran. and the
fcur-round opener between Billy Hooe
and Battling Issy.
Fix me up with those pants, Mr..
Kelly and charge it to the State
Roads Commission or the Governors
expense account. But get me those
pants because, between you and me,
all 1 ever got out of the great game
of clout was holes in my trousers
and q ruffled temper.
And If you want to play fair with
this kid, Schwartz, who seems to feel
that you, and the boys on the commits
sion are unfriendly to him, urge that
he and Landers to get in there in a
return mill He said last night that
he never wanted to fight again. But
you know how 1t is with kid who
thought he won q mile going away.
He was heartbroken.
Just an old pal, Mr.. Kelly, but one
1D1lo Is certain the t1Co Eds and
Charlie booted one for your COM
mission.
Don't forget those pants. You can
charge it up to Mr.. Shanberger OF
the commission, II you care to, or
maybe Benny Franklin or Fischer
1pould sort of take care of tt for the
commission.
Anyhow, Mr.. Kelly, your commission,
the boxing game and the fighters are
going to get no farther than they are
at the moment in Maryland unless you
tighten up on some of those verdicts.
