There were no two ways about it.
Berger must have Eddie Smith of Oak

way for he remembered decision Eddie
handed over when the black man met
Hank Griffith in Oakland few years
ago. Johnson said that either Eddie
Graney or Jack Welch of San Francisco
would do, but Berger baked at both
suggestions. Also the negro naturally
refused to consider Charlie Eyton. a
citizen of Jeffries' home town. Charley
