that | have my doubts as to whether a
fight can be held here at all. | heard
enough to convince mo that the sporting
factions are at war. Plenty of threats
were sprung that If this club or that did
not get the fight no other club would
get il, and it looked to me as if a man
might train like a niger and be fooled
at the last moment | like San Fran
cisco first rate. but I'm not stuck on the
fighting situation as 1t is at present.
There is too much knocking going on
and | don't think a man could train
where there is so much uncer-
tainty."
