Art Allard. formerly of Lake Linden
but at present resident of Butte. has
written To Manager Dick Callahan. de-
claring that he is unwilling to meet
Art Godfrey again In this city until
Godfrey goes and gets reputation"
Just why Allard should take this stand
Is hard to say as he has expressed
himself as being perfectly willing to
meet Godfrey again on number OF
occasions.
No further negotiations have been
made rs yet for the two matches that
Allard wrote Manager Callahan would
bring him back to Hancock. Manager
Callahan had intended to match AL
lard with Godfrey and with Billy Per-
kins but the fact that Allard seems
unwilling to meet Godfrey spoiled this
plan. AS the boxing game seems to

ton in the copper country Mt present,
Manager Callahan has decided not to
stage an exhibition here I'm the near
future as was planned.

the crime, might be the young mans
moral undOing. If he has been the vic

was more the sinner than the one sin

that his subsequent good behavior be
placed to his credit, and he be given
another chance.
