as Freddie WILL" said Packey.
''Welsh's manager says that he
wants a side bet of $4,000 If any,
body wants to box Freddie for the
lightweight championship. Nolan and
will take that bet and we will post
the money-real money, and not the
conversational kind.
Harry Pollok has said that Welsh

same to me-"
Mcfarland is willing to go to Aus

Mr.. c. A. Skinner opened this store on this same
corner in September, 1888, more than % years ago.

steadily and surely is conclusive evidence that his
work has been appreciated. We do not know what Mr..
SINNERS plans are for the future, but wish him con-
