CHAPTER III.
When Johnny Kilbane reported 70
Jimmy Dunn at the latter's camp he
never had worn Joking gloves. but
he had seen a few sparring matches
and imagined he would like to be-
come boxer. After one day In
camp. during which he had acted az
punching bag for Dunn, he knew he
wanted TO becoue a boxer.
The irst night In camp Kilbane
wanted TO know whether Dunn used
tobacco, and Dunn replied in the mega.
tive. The next day Dunn saw John
ny emptying his pockets Of the TO-
bacco he had carried TO camp.
! Az this time Kilbane was Is. From
the start he showed speed and ability
Dunn became attached to the little fel
low and took him To Akron. o.. for
his fight with Brock; then to New

headquarters with Jimmy Dime. the

Dunn figured that Johnny was not
ready to inset Tommy. When he
made this decision Dunn and Kilbane
were out OF funds. A purse OF $500
offered for the match would have
tempted almost anyone, under the cir.

FLAT RATES

"A Nat rate system which exacts an average
uniform charge for widely varying degrees of
service is obviously inequitable to the public.
The fat rate il also harmful to the public in
another way. Such rate. comprehending all
classes OF business users and based upon the
average of wide extremes, of necessity COM
pels small users to pay relatively higher rate
than they would pay under graded rate based
upon the cost Of the service used by them, and
is therefore highly burdensome to such users,
and presents foarffeble obstacle to the de-
velopment Of the hone system"
