out the vocation OF the person to

the truth Of what he had said.
Aiterward, Lee Won Sue, the presi-

does not he will beat Berry four
years from now, or else he will beat
Jones at their next contest. Clarke

Times makes US laugh. A few issues

Clarke to light on when he makes
his double sommersault for Jones

never get Jones place this time, or
other time, and if he is training
to run for Berry's place he will meet
