the center of the stage in national pugf-

They also furnish subject for much
discussion. Followers of fistic affairs
seldom have an opportunity to compare
Britishers with Americans, because
there are usually little grounds for COM
parison. but, figuring upon past events
of a similar nature, the Californian
seems to rank head and shoulders above
the man he has been booked to meet
next month in San Francisco.
The English champions who have

is doubtful that such a case has ever
