That is a bet. Nick is the Jersey promoter who was kind to Ermino when the big fellow was sojourning in Newark a vear or so ago.

In all this time Kline, the philanthropist. has not heard a word from Spalla which shows how ungrateful pri fighters can be. Spalla ought to step into something nice when he gets here.
