Aw. cut it OUT SAYS Swiftly.
Back under the sink with the rest Of the pipes .
says out of the side of my mouth Then does
another duck And this here gOOseb'rv blond IN
the Ahceblue jersey, is Mr.. Gorilla Oliiglev that
put Cans out Once-aI but The other gent You

His names Mike Slattery. Now, if you'll excuse us.
well get busy"
As takes my corner, / could see mother begin-
min to look worried but sister opens box of ch6co
la e creams and prepares to have the time Of her
lne Lady Evelyn springs her lOrgnette and sizes
us up like we was bunch of Buffalo Bill Indians
just OIL the reservation
I'd forgot to tip off Slatterv that there wasn't r,,
po tprandialS expected of him; so the first thing I
krew he was maxim his little ring speech lust the
sameS II he was annOuncIn' events at the Never
Die Athletic club
Now gents-and ladies'" saws he "tbis Is a
fve-round 60 for a stay, between Professor Shorty
McCabe, eX-hght-weight champeen of the world
and another gent what goes on the cards as an un-
known It's catch weights, an the winner pulls
down the whole basket of greens There amt tr-I7F
to be no hittln after the cinch and If there's arz
fouls, YOU leave 1t To me. Don't come buttin' in
It's been put up 10 me % keep time an referee this
mix-up. and | don't want no help. You bottle
holders stay IN your corners till the counts over.
Now are YOU ready Then goi"
There was squeal OF two when we sheds our
bath-rObeS and steps TO the middle and I guesses
that the ladies was settln their first view of ring
clothes. But | wasn't lo0kln' anywhere but At
Jarvis And say, he would have made hit anv-
where He had just paddIn enough to round HIM
out we'll and not SO much as to make him look lady
ned. Course, he was good many pounds over
weight for the Job he'd tackled, but he'd have
looked mighty well on poster Honest It seemed
a shame TO have to muSs him.
Jarvis want there to stand IN the Hme-lisht
though He went right 20 work as though he meant
business. I'd kind of figured on lettin him have
his own way for couple Of rounds, takin' It easv
an jOCkeyIn him into making a shown, but the
first thing | knows he lands right swing that near
Tfr- off,
stop my kiddln'.
= Beg pardon. says Jarvis; but I'm after that
fifty
. If I'd had putty jaw, you'd got it then. says
|. Here's the twin 10 that"
But my swipe didn't reach him bv an inch and
the best could do was 70 swap hat-arm jots until
Id got steadied down again. Well say, l wasn't
more n an hour tlndin out that | couldn't monkey
follow the glove, and he blocked pretty as II he
was punchin' the bag.
You didn't learn that in no college" says I.
iddlin for place 10 plant my left.
You're quite right says he, and bores in like
snow-plough.
We steamed up a little in the second: but II was
an even break at that. barrIn the fact that PLAYED
more for the wind and had Jarvis breathIn fast when
Slatterv called quits. Gorilla Qugley was onto his
Job, though. an he gives him good advice While he
vas wavln' the towel. | could hear him coachin'
Jarvis to save his breath and make me do the
ruShin'
Don't waste time that cas--.rar mug of
MS. says Gorilla. All you gotter DO IS cover up
an stay the limit"
But that want Jarvis's program lie begins
ike bridge car-rrsher maxim for seat and he
mad me back into my corner IN no tlUl- &c al We
mixed 1t then, mixed 1t good and r',~.E Jarvis
want handin out any love-taps. either. and |
iidnt have beef enough TO stop d h-- ired-an'
eighty pound swing without feeliu the .-. | was
iizzv from EN- all right; but | Jumps close an
pounds away on his ribs until he gives -~Ound.
Then | comes the Nelson crouch and -.-s a few
cross-overs in where they q do the most good.
That didn't stop HIM -hough.
Pretty soon he comes III '.r more.
Saw | never see a guy a.t could
