punching bag before and asked for IN
formation. but ii was some time before
he got the truth. and when Tommy said

gave Tommy a look that he won't forget
until long after the punching bag is worn
out. for his father has no tastes for any
thing of the sort, but on the contrary is
one of the pillars OF a church and detests
boxing in al its forms and ordered Tom

told him that If he was I'm need of more
