Kid Lavigne is showing pretty pla n

that he fears that his pugilistic repu-

about a finish fight.an are out with
challenge as follows: 'InaSmuch as

Everhardt in his fight with Lavigne
punished the latter harder than DAILY
did Lavigne is still the unquestioned
champion, and, if DAILY wants to take
the distinction, let him come on, our
money is ready"
This sounds all right, but it is not
explicit enough Complaining about
the weight at which he met DAILY. and
asserting that Daily cannot get to the
accepted lightweight limit, he says
come on if you want the championship.
What does Layigne wish the sporting
world to understand? Will he fight &C

mean that Daily must get down to l53
