1876 pounds and has a pair of shoul-
ders modelled after those of a Grecian
bull. Jack has never been slowed away
and has yet to lose a battle. He is a
rough miner and possesses great speed,

Gene Jeffrey. Burns is at work at
Venice and both men say they will be
in good trim. Matchmaker Hancock
will frame up several good prelimina-
