Philadelphia, who personally
instructs the members of his Sunday
school class in the art of boxing,

Biddle's request is conditional. He
asks that such grizzled veterans as
Bob Fitzsimmons. Kid Mccoy and
philadelphia Jack" O'Brien fight ic
out among themselves to determine
the "old mems" supremacy. Each of
the notables mentioned has expressed
an earnest desire to don ring regalia
and to rub his feet in lrosin.

more recent.

twelve winning rounds with Bill
