As it pro- @ieesed Bartfield criticised Leonard's ‘Work as referee. He told him he was the worst ever. Benny naturally re- Bented Bartfeld's remarks, and fit ly told him he didn’t know how to it at all. “I can lick you,” sald Bartfield, “even if I don't know how to fight.” “You can, eh?” replied Benny, un- mindful of his bad hand. “Get a palr bod Bloves for me and we shall see,” INKS” Be oF With that Benny ordered London! fut of the ring and declared himself Feady to finish out the other two founds with Bartfield.
