Show Many time I have been asked what makes man a good aeoond. The only answer I can glv Is that to be sue- ,unV Providence, he'll meet Mickey Donley and on June 2 h. will nil hla postponed engagement with Johnny Harvey In New Tork. e e Having knocked out his hands due te his steady fighting during th. last two months, Mike O'Howd. the lit.

C. of Baltimore will give Pete Herman, ihe bantamweight champion. ISMe for hla and In a twenty-round twenty-round conteat to a declaion with Williams, win. loee or draw, th. chance are that the only tlm Herman will accept thia match Is when aome prominent referee thai doeen't reside In Baltimore, will turt.e the eonteet. It la meet likely that cesarul at anything f ona must hav a decided liking for hla work. It waa my privilege privi-lege to aaaoclat with Martin Murphy, Mur-phy, Billy Delaney and Patsy Hog an, thrco of th greatest great-est seconds tn ring history. And yet. apparently, I waa mora anxious to act aa a second than the boys. At any rats th were generally choosing their men while I waa willing to second sec-ond almost anyons. I liked It, and probably prob-ably went behind too fighter. In my time. There I, no doubt that th feelings of the man behind a fighter are reflected re-flected considerably In th fighter Imeeir. If the second la watching and encouraging en-couraging bis man to the very last, regardless of how the bout le going, the fellow tn the ring Is bound to get some Inspiration out of It. Many times an ounoe of sustained courag turns th tide and make, a winner out of what looked a sure loeer. e e e New Tork City will be the scene of another blatorle ting engagement on Monday night when Carl Morris and Frank Moran get together In a ten-round eetto. A Jinx appears te hover over this contest, however. It haa been arranged for no leaa than five different date, and as regularly postponed for one reaaoa or another. Thl. tlm. It eeeme likely that the huakiee will really battle. The snatch la an Important one because It le a Prt of the plan te bring Morris snd lea Wlllard Wll-lard tog.la.r some tins, during the present pres-ent year. If at orris .heuld beat Moraa aa decisively aa Wlllard did. th.a th. radical, backing Ihe Oklahoma giant Williams' ma eager wtU not consent to this. A match waa arranged btwen Frank!
