ladyfied Course, he was a good, many
pounds overweight 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
limelight, though. He went right to
work as though he meant business. I'd
kind of figured on lettin' him have his
own way for a couple of rounds, takin
it easy, an jockeyin' him into maxim
a shown: but the first thing l knows
he lands a right swing that near lifts
me off my feet, an Swiftly sings out
to me TO stop my kiddin'.
Beg pardon" says Jarvis; but I'm
after that fifty"
IF I'd had putty jaw, you'd got it
then" says l. Here's the twin TO
that"
But my swipe didn't reach him by an
inch, and the best / could do was TO
swap half-arm jolts until I'd got
steadied down again. Well, say,
wasn't more'n an hour findin' out that
couldn't monkey much with Jarvis.
He knew how to let his weight follow
the glove. and he blocked as pretty as
if he was punchin' the bag.
You didn't learn that in no col
lege," says /. fiddlin for a place to
plant my left.
You're quite right" says he, and
boxes like a snow pillow.
We steamed up a little in the sec
Ond; but 1t was an even break at that,
barrin' the fact that I played more for
the wind, and had Jarvis breathin
fast when Slattery called quits. Go
rilla Quigley was onto his job, though,
an he gives him good advice while he
was wavin' the towel. I could hear
him cOachin' Jarvis to save his breath
and make me do the rushin'.
Don't waste no time on that cast
iron mug of his says Gorilla. "All
you gOtter do is cover up an stay the
limit"
But that want Jarvis program.
He begins like bridge car-rusher
maxim for seat. and he had me back
into my corner in no time at all. We
mixed it then, mixed 1t good and plen-

taps. either: and / didn't have beef
enough to stop a hundred-an' eighty
pound swing without feelin' the jar.

ribs until he gives ground. Then l

most good.

soon he comes in for more. Say, /
never see a guy that could look pleas

as Terry wears; it was just calm,
steady, business-like proposition, one
of the kind that goes with a Sorry to

your block off" Now. 1 can grin. too.
until 1 makes up my mind that it's
time to pull the other chaps cork.
But / was never up against any of
this polite business before. 1t wins
me, though. Right there I says to
myself. Jarvis, if you keep that up
for two rounds more. you're welcome
to win out IT was worth the money.
And Just as gets this notion in my
nut he cuts loose with a bunch of
rapid-fire jabs that mad me wonderin
where I'd be if one landed just right

We was roughin' it all over the ring
and Swiftly an the Gorilla was yeliin
things, an Slatterys was yellin back
