How lie 1t that Buddy Faulkes is
matched with Charley Goldman? We
heard Paddy McGuigan

meet the winner. Your morning paper
gave the fight to Mailie; you CAV it
q draw, which seemed fair, and your
contemporary hands the decision to
Goldman. Where is there any decision
there, when you all disagree?

with Paddy McGuigan Thursday night
before the fight. You can draw your
own conclusions. Here 1t is:

Jack Dougherty gave me his check for
$50. I asked George Roehm (Faulk 8 s
