The way Relch's friends maintain their faith in him seems remarkable to the average ring follower, but to (nose Who have come into contact with him it can readily be understuod. There are two reasons why Relch has Dot been dropped by his followers. One 8 because, In many respects, he has ability altogether out of the erdinary The other s because those who know him personally cannot help being impressed by his good nature and his modest bear- ng. Yor despite the rather flambeyant utterances of his backers while they were endeavoring te force Coffey into the recent match that ended so disastrousiy, Relch fs modest—painfully so. In fact, he ix altogether too medest for his ewn Kood. 1f Reioh were more concelted he weuld It s his self-assurance that holds him Sack and prevents him from showing hia true form.
