Hetcht recovered himself somewhat but was unable to make much of a -showing and. the decision was awarded to Mackey.: Manager (Riley at once isaned a sweeping challenge, agreeing to take on for any number of rounds any bantam weight in the world. This brings the matiMu to a .local standpoint and if Riley wasn’t talking for effect he can do a little business without going outside of the Lima »oll field. Kid Boop has met Mackey twice, but both contents were United to six rounds and . * _ •neither Ud had Che better , of the fighting. It will take twice six rounds and perhaps more to decide which of the two Is the better man, and Boep is ready to .soeefc his Findlay rival at any time or place providing certain conditions that he names are agreed to by Mackey’s backers..
