If the tournament of bantams is pulled off, Kid Herman and Benny Ghavez are also expected to be seen in action, altho, according to reports, every one of the so- called bantams can never make 116 pounds again by any other method than cutting off a leg or two i Kearns also states that efforts are being made to bring Fred Fulton to Denver for bout with Bonds, Another bout promoters are working on is one betwen Johnny Kil bane and Johnny Dundee. if pulled off.

They was both langhing and acting per- fectly contented. Pureka gave me a nudge and a wink. “T told you I had my ideas about him,” says she. The Fresh Air girls went back |to Eastwich that afternoon.
