Both men have been training hard for
the coming bout and as is usually the
case. both are confident OF landing the
winners end of the purse.

and gymnasium work at the terminus Of

stronger than he was when he and Green
met before. Green Is anXiously await
ing the night of the fight, as ne wants 10
prove to the followers OF the ring that
the decision given against him in hts
fight with NELL was unjust. He hopes 20
prove this by decisive Victory over his
old opponent: Green has been faithfully
training At the Seal Rock House for the
past month and is brown as a berry and
as hard as nails. He does not hold NELL
too cheaply and will enter the ring in
fine fettle.
