of those men would stoop to give
him the worst OF it? He talks about
fighting in three months. when he
knows that this club has shown him
that it is impossible for them to bring in
off in that time. II he is so anxious to
fight me, why don't he come to where T
am, and he can get all the fight he
wants in "a hours' notice, or will meet
him secretly at any place ne nance or
will show him up plainly. The truth
OF the matter Is that this man
hates Americans because they do
not consider him as good as
to pcae and strut about and be looked
up to and worshiped as he ia on the

for England he will never return here.
