times three"-for the Western pugilist,
Harry Green of hamlike fist.

idiom of the sporting world Harry has

His manager" a confiding young
gentleman of the name of James TIL
den is here also. Mr.. Tilden confesses
coyly that Mr. Green is one of the best
that ever happened in the fighting BUSH
ness.
W. Harry Green-"Get the w. in fust

from Spokane. He is pugilist with

out on the coast, in the common
wealth that rejoices in the name the
evergreen state" Green is known as
the Washington wonder. He and his
manager admit this fact themselves.
Green must not be confronted with
that other Harry Green Of Spokane
fame, Jew Harry the famous knight
of the green cloth, whose big game in
the city by the falls never closes.
W.-the w. makes the distinction
Harry Green is a bigger man, ply
sically, than the diamond-wearing
pounds, he says, and he looks it, He
stands six feet one inch in his stocking
feet and his fists resemble hams.
Green's business in Spokane has been
that of aiding the electricity to run
cars on the Spokane Street Railway
company's tracks.
Manager Tilden and he assert that
the sports of Spokane consider him a
marvel and are sending him East to go
after the championship.
Not that the statements of the gen.
tlemen were doubted in the least, but
for the purpose of gaining further in

dispatch to sporting authority of that
city last night:
Did you ever hear of W. Harry
Green of Spokane? Green says he is
called the Washington wonder and is
going East to get matches with the big

And back came this coarse and UNI
kind reply:
There was man from Yakima by
that name. He couldn't break a pane
of glass if he hit it twice.

few of us out in Spokane have
had our eye out for such a man as
Green, and now that we've got him. we
will make these so-called champions toe
the scratch. Green weighs about 1S2
pounds when he is in condition and his

We've got good man and we can
make easy money with him. Ali these
big fights are not on the square and
these would-be champions are N. q.
All these fights are arranged to make
money, and when they get Green into
the ring they'll have to fight or quit,

who will want a go with Green because

III you print this, it's not going to be
the first time that Green's name will be
in the paper. On the coast he is known
as the Washington wonder and he is
wonder. Just mention that Tn his

Tilden then called for a drink and
Green took a glass of settler, saying;

Green says he has honored Anaconda
with his presence for the purpose of
visiting relatives
