Port Costa Heavy Weight
Anxious to Fight

The latest heavy weight to blossom
out in search of match is Jim Hughes,
a big fellow from Port Costa, who has
recently slowed away several brush
scrappers in less than three rounds
per man.
Hughes is under the management of
Charles T. Walker of Port Costa, and
the latter, in behalf of his meal ticket
issues challenges to Al Kaufman Mar
vim Hart or any other heavy weight for
20 round battle in this city or Vi
cinity.
Walker says that his man will not

the fans a run for their money. Walker
is ready to post a forfeit to show that
he is in earnest. and says that all he
wants is fair trial for his man. He
will also make side bet that Hughes
can beat either Kaufman or Hart
