Berry and Jeff came along. One ar
gued one way and the other took the
contrary view. Jeff won the argument
by saying that Freddie could afford to
miss one game in the eighteen to be
played, as he could see ball game
six times each week for the next fort
night and only one fight. Freddie is

Charley Eyton sat at ringside Satur-
day and witnessed the ease with which
Carsey was landing on Dalton until he

man who always keeps tab on the fight
game here and there, came up for the

became one of the favored spots Tor
| fighters to train and the popularity or
the sport has resulted in the organiza-

off good cards very occasionally.
