Says Kaufman Wasn't Right.
Eddie Dennis. the clever Frisco

Flynn needs plenty Of boxing and
rough work in tradning. AL wasn't
'peppered' for rough fight. But

Donnie will leave the Kaufman

has been matched to fight Jack White
in st. Joseph, Mo-, May e., and will
go there in 9 few days to train.
Many people work harder to land q
