to desist. They desisted-
Whereupon Jim waited for station
stop and then began heaving the
youths off his train. He did it with
such ease and dispatch that he won
the admiration of Mike Donovan, the
old middlewight fighter, who was on
the train.
Mike walked to the vestibule and
engaged Jim in conversation. Mike
told jim that he thought he had the

wasn't sure.

Club and III give you tryout.' in

tricks in the fighting game and then

son who had "white hope" hopes. Jim
knocked all the hope out of that fell
low in two rounds. Then he went
home, wrote out his resignation from
the subway job and has been keeping
his huge frame within the pugilistic
spotlight most of the time since.
