was very glad to hear that there
is a chance of me coming down there
to box Herrick Thanksgiving day The
date of the fight is far enough away
so that it will not interfere with any
matches 1 may get in the near future
If the bout is made certain and we
are matched for that date, 1 will not
accept any bouts that will in any way
keep me from coming down there.
But / can not do 15S pounds for
Herr1ck. The match would have to be
made at catch weights. I weigh around
166 and can not make the required
Jos pounds to be middleweight, and
be strong. When 1 beat Madden here
l weighed 167 pounds. but down there
l would be much lower as anyone in
that country can't carry as much
weight, you know. Now Herrick is
just as big as 1 am, if not larger, and
he should not kick over few
pounds Of weight
I am with Tommy Ryan the sage,
and if I come down there he'll be
with me- I haven't talked To him of
this match, but I am sure he would
like to come to Ell Paso as much as
myself Ryan is running the boxing
club here this year and is putting on
monthly bouts
I have fought seven bouts since I
was in ElPaso and was outpointed
once, had one draw, won two by a K

Fourth Round, JacS Lester Falls to
Respond to the Bell in the Fifth.

scheduled for 20 rounds.
Lester was Knocked down for the
count of seven in the second round. In
the third he landed his only blow of the
whole fight-a glancing swing to the
mouth that drew blood but did no harm.
In the fourth he was knocked down
three times and was saved from be-
ing knocked out by the bell. When the
gong rang for the fifth he was still so
groggy that he could or would not rise
from his chair and the referee gave the
fight to Langford

A little reflection will convince the reader that
the remarkable latitude given by this provision

be sent by private express or freight
Users OF the parcel post must take care that
their packages do not exceed sevcuty-two inches

all packages obviously near the limit must be
measured Suppose for instance that YOU wish
