because he needed 10 train OFF weigh
that he tipped the beam at weight
o'clock in the afternoon. which was
McFarlands weight suggestion.
After pulley weights Tommy put on
the boxing gloves and went through sew
eral rounds with Duffy. known locally
as The Philadelphia Waiter and
Harry Lortz. 1t wasn't the clever sort
OF work. All the time Tommy walked
in,o close quarters and fought with hall
arm blows. Most of Duffy's wallops
he picked off neatly with his gloves,
and when the Phlladelphisn slipped one
through now and then he only bored in
harder. Tommy's speed was a surprise.
He had one of his fast strcaks, and
neither Duffy nor Lortz could stop his
punches or get away from them.
Johnny Oliver had big brass gong,
presented to the New Polo A. c. by NJ.
Buckley. Johnny used the gong for
the rounds. The boxing was in real
eighteen-toot ring. L want Tommy 10
be used to boxing in the ring" eN-
plained Oliver. He used 10 box on the
yoor without any ropes, but We think it
IS lot better 20 make use OF the same
size ring he is going to fight in.
The old maiarla mas ceased from
troubling, and Tommy will De in shape
TO fight next Tuesday.
