in Milwaukee, Still Over a
Month Away.

the best in many years is scheduled TO
take place out in Milwaukee September
IL, when Packey Mcfarland and Ad
Wolgast clash in a ten-round scrap. Both

who would like to see the affair staged
here. The little fighters have already be-
gun hard work for the bout.
They used to have it that rolling pea
nut from the Battery to Harlem was
soft occupation compared to handling
prima donna. Also those who have had
always averred that Sisyphus' little task
of rolling stone uphill was sinecure
compared to being the fall guy for a
prima donna person. Still none of these
very unpleasant tasks ever had anything
on the position of managing a champion
fighter.
If you think managing prima donna is
a fierce ana wholly Incompatible task,
just ask Tom Jones how ii compares with
handling champion tighter.
Should Manager Tom happen To be in
confidential mood when YOU PROFOUND
such a question he will tell YOU that
is easy compared to managing a cham
pion as taking bonbonS from a pulling in
FAINT.
Jones. who overlooks the destines and
dollar getting proclivites of Champion
Ad WolgaSt, talks freely enough about

Siamese Twins.
That stuff about Wolgast and having
a spat is all balderdash. WOlgaSt and |
are pals Honest I think the world and
all of that kid, and he surely thinks
something of me.
Didn't he give me an automobile not
long ago? Now. YOU don't suppose if

with Wolgast than sane man would
think of dropping from the top story of

and that is that l never exactly fell in
with the idea of letting Mcfarland make
Is, pounds at 3 o'clock on the afternoon
of his bout with Wolgast. But you can
say for me that | never opposed meet

Here Jones assumed a look of wisdom
that would make a treeful of souinch

WoIeast will splinter that Mcfarland
person like d modern dreadnousht could
