The thing that was bothering Mr.. lTo-

match with Hogan was already in.
he isn't making any allowance for
what may happen when Hogan works
his one-round habit in the ring with
Brown next week.
And to tell the truth II does seem that
Danny Morgan is a little bit ncTvy.
Brown Is a likely youngster. OF course,
aid one who thriyes on hard work ana
. matches with the top-notchers. But to
ignore m unknown like Hogan, who
MAY have the goods to deliver. and
who has been delivering regularly on
the Pacific Coast-oh. well, there's only
one Dan Morgan and only n Knock
out Brown.
or course there's an angle tha cs-
capes the superficial observer. Mr..
Hogan gained his title when he was n
novice. and like many other novices
who afterward. became clever boxers.

Hogan the real reason Is that they are
now fighting men OF more class than
they did IN the quick-knockout days.

This time he will. IL he has a trace OF

Seems funny. doesn't II. 10 say that q
