900 tons, IS cars showed at destina-
ton a weight short of 10000 pounds
per car, the total shortage of the 70
cars aggregating a little over 100 tons

If there was no incentive Is 1t not
more than a fair presumption that he

If, without incentive and without IN

that Owen cares to make. If he wants
to make it rough, I'll rough him off
his feet. If he starts the fancy, clever
stuff, I'll make him look equally sick.
I'm betting my coin that the cham

In regard to the rules Moran said:
I'm England where I did most Of my

position outside the ropes and, of
course, 1 got used to that style. Now,
although it is new to me to have the
referee within arms length, must say
that I have been treated very nicely
by the gentlemen who have judged my
fights in America. What I want Mr..
Jeffries to say, is that he will not step
between Attell and myself at any stage
of the fight, and L think I can show
him that I'll behave myself so he won't
have to. I always step back whenever
the referee cries break and never
hold on to an opponent. l don't know
whether AtteIl holds or not, but I want
Jeffries to watch closely and not ask
me to break when 1 have both arms
free and Attell is holding. I like to
fight free arm style at close quarters
and like to take a punch at a fellow
while breaking away. Now, if
Jeffries is forced to go between us
to separate US when Attell is holding.
it will spoil my chance of getting a
crack at Atten when stepping back. I
don't suppose there will be any diff
Guilty about 1t, for 1t won't take Jeffries
long to tell whether I am holding or
not, and I am sure If I do not hold he
will allow me to fight myself loose and
put in a smash if I can when obeying
the order to break"
Jeffries has assured both fighters
that he will not interfere as long as
they break when he tells them to.
