self with a certificate signed by half
a dozen witnesses that he had been
paid only SO for his expenses to and

during the training season--pie being
especially taboo by trainers for ath-

"rhe story was slightly exaggerat-

with the same modesty regarding his
gastronomic prowess as he has shown
regarding his football ability. "I rare
