While Dan Kerrigan was member from Brooklyn,
Conklng fit to be quite polite to him, but in a
way that offended Kerrigan as Conkling always led
conversation to him to sporting TOPICS and though
probably not intending do So conveyed the impress

like to put the gloves with him. Dan said he was
not much of boxer, and besides too small man
to contend with Roscoe, but that friend of his was
fair sparrer and he would bring him to Combines
