on numerous occasions that there is

Among the leading spirits of the club
and one of its most active members
is the strong boy, Alex Galbraith.
Many experienced judges have not
hesitated to say that Galbraith has
in him the material out of which
champions are made. Aside from his
great strength, he is quick and active
and does some gymnastic stunts that
it would worry a professional to fol-
low.
1t is believed that a 20-round go
between Galbraith and Jack Monroe,
the big Butte miner. would be a good
drawing card. Monroe would be the
favorite naturally. because of his re-
cent meeting with Jeffries, but if he
can win in a battle with Galbraith, as
one of the latter's admirers remark
ed ''he can break the Northern Pa
cific railroad and get a good bunch
of other peoples money on the side. -
