White Sox boarded their steamer and
that if any articles purporting to be
written by him at later date than
that were published they were UNI
authorized.
Mr.. Johnson further stated that a

that he was absolutely opposed to tbs
deception of the public.

it. II is not so much what the lads

and a fan gets very little inspiration
from the spectacle of a champion or
a challenger punching the bag or ham

The contest will take place at Coff-
roth's Eighth street arena on the
evening of December 10 and Richie
has been made a strong favorite in the
early betting. On the score that money
talks this is prima facie evidence that

figured out the chances and have sat /!
