Tom Allen was never large of
stature, and yet he was a model

made up in breadth. He was as hand
some specimen of the brawny boxer

brings Drawn. He is by no means bro
ken down. however and, barring a
slight stoop, will today attract atten-
ton to his unusual physique. OF his
personality little that is favorable can
he said. He is rough and uncouth. His
language is not choice. He Is what he
is-a prize fighter of the old school
who has the utmost contempt for what
he designates "pillows"-the gloves
used by modern boxers. Allen never
fought q battle with anything save the
raw 'uns"-bare knuckles.
