IT SUGGESTION frOm a rank outsider
in the relation might be tolerated. it
would be that the embattled pugflists
take Judge Pike, the most accom-
plished referee on this continent. Judge
Pike holds the American record for
dispensing Indifferent justice between
man and woman from the Reno bench
He knows better than any man living
when to tell the domestic combattants
to break away.
What more can the referee of any
prize fight do?
Let this be my contribution to the
fight stuff. For the rest, I am more
interested in the fortunes of town in
the hands of the Philistines.
