When Luther McCarty went to the
Pacific coast to take part in the elm

from McCarty that he would never

George Munroe would say We'll. be

mind and so has Billy Mccartney and
now he is willing to take on the negro
who defeated Jim Jeffries-pOOr Jim
who was out OF the running and unfit
to battle before he entered the ring
