that Armstrong will stay with the

The champion will take no chance
of being worn out by one-night stands

will consist of combination OF one
night stands and week stands. so that

II was said today that there was
undoubted voluntary movement of
Wilson's left arm at a point where II
is hoped 1t is controlled from the
spine below the point of injury The
circumstance has given much encour-
