It is verv likely that Collins will 2ive up his club at Hurtson. now thaj he lias taken hold of the Minneapolis organization. Could Make Catch Weight. Mauv stories have been printed about boxers making entrh wt-ijhts, ote., and as a rule a reat deal of it is simply in the mind, of tho story tellers, but a funny one "as pulled in Milwaukee the other dav by a boxer named Vonog ''urnis, an Italian who was matched to fiirht before the two Milwaukee clubs. A we'-k prior to his weihin-j iu before ti:e South Side club, Dennis had sealed Tj't pounds, lie was matched with a voting fellow named Krause, but when it eame timo for weiiiin in, Dennis uri,rie'l all of them bv sealing just I2u T'Ounds. Jiow he came to lo.-e nine pounds in a few days is a mystery. Ho had been rnntehe I 'previou.xly to meet Johnny M-ndelson at l-'J;i pounds a week later, and under the rules of Wisconsin Wiscon-sin s boxing, Ib-nnis could not tfo ahead v. itii a ruateh against Mendehson be-'au-e of the dif 1 '-retire of over teu pounds in weight. Taking the matter verv seriously Dennis Den-nis npprourhed Ib'ferce Harry Stout and sai.l : ' ( I eo, but I m nj against it. 1 'e got to make l.'l.'J pounds for Men d'-lson and 1 don't know how to yet that heavv. " "Hut what about cat eh '.vi-ihtx said Stout. ''Well, I don't know, but mavbe I could make eatch wid-hts all ri-iit." However, Mr. Den- i! i- had no c ha nee to make eat eh weight or any widht, tor he was taken v'l iho card and will have to find out just what weight he can make before the clubs wi'l match him niti'n. 1 Dennis did just the ro ere of w hat I Johnny Thompson did w hen he w a- in j An l ralia. - J ohnu v a 1 ned near 1 v f .t I I oe n pounds ovor nii.ht, w hile 1 ennt-i ennt-i lot nltuoM that nun h. istay With (iame. t 'hy is it that boxers who ha e been successful, or nt'urwi-M', in ttit- nu, aio alwaxs unwiiiiiii; to io i; npf Tak-: Tak-: many of the be.-t men we hae eer had 1 in the rin champion- nud others -,ir. d 1 thev hae moxtly ron ainod in the ptine , until decisively do tented.

I have always considered him ! i;oud virgin coil for a first -rlass lii;ht-! lii;ht-! weight, but he is like a young saiiui i that needs transplanting. I am of the o;inion that ho should settle in some i citv where there are plenty of fiuhts ! staged, like Philadelphia or .New Nork, j and u'et the experion. e of fihtin local j favorites on their own ground. This ; would have the effivt of hardening him to stand the strain of fiL'htinj before hostile erowds. and in the end would make him more of a seasoned battler than he is today. I still think be has a mlendid ehanco to climb to the top ot tho heap with the riijht handling. He lias a wonderfully fast left hand, but ! I understand ho never made u"e of it against Leonard when they met. Frankie Callahan is one of tho toughest light-I light-I weights in the country today outside of T.eona rd. Patsy ( lino is undoubtedly the fastest and will bo a contender fur the crown. Modesty, of course, forbids me to tell you where I stand myself, but who can toll what might happen! Boxers usually stay too long in tho ring, hut I wnnt to convince myself, and the best way to do that is to have another chance. ' ' Tom Jones Active. Tom Jones, former manager of Joss Willard, heavyweight champion of the world, id petting busy now that the boxing box-ing season is on. Sir Thomas could not remain idle if he tried, and he has taken under his wing Bryan Downey, the Columbus, Co-lumbus, Ohio, welterweight, and Sailor Friedman, a hustling lightweight of Chicago. Tom expects to add another boxer to his team and will then get busy with his trio. Friedman is in tho rough ns yet, but he looks verv promising, and, under the guidance of Jones, will no doubt come to the front. He has bad only a few fights but ho has shown excellent class, and if Jones is right in his estimation of the hoy, he will no doubt be heard from before long. Downey is 0110 of the classiest welterweights welter-weights in the country today, and his recent battle with Johnnv' Griffiths, also of Ohio, in which ftowney was given the newspaper decision, proves that he is ready right now to battle for the welterweight titlo with Champion Ted Lewis. Keeeutly Downey fought at Kaeine, Wis., and his work was of the highest class. Ho is a real welterweight, welter-weight, scnling under Ho pounds. There is no reason wnv Downev should not get a championship matcn with Lewis, and it is a cinch that Manager Man-ager Jones will insist upon it ami back it up with a substantial forfeit, even if he has to go out to the coast whore Lewis is at the present time, to do it. Downey is the tvpe of fighter who looks good over the long distance, for he is rugged, with plenty of stamina. Ho is aNo an Amorieau lad, and the match with Lewis would decide, tho world's title. |
