| In reference to Devcry's proclamation Fitz

THE Chief has seen a lot Of fights in New
York, and I guess he wont stand by and
see the law violated Our battle will be
for scientific points. and no worse than
the battles between Mccoy and Sharkey and
| Corhrtt and Shnrkey Contests are held regu-
larry at The IcnoX and Broadway clubs. and II
knock outs occur it is invariably the result ct
an accident There was no lnterier"nce AT the
! Corhrtt- Sharkcy contest. nor ut the Mccoy
Sharkcy go. 50 don't think they will inter-
icre with us.
