the people Of Las Cruces "are get

asking about the chances for bouts
around here. He is a clever light

one wonders why he need have Re
course to Misrepresentation. On one
of his printed circulars he has:
HJack Read, champion Of Australia,
Canada and South Africa" He holds
the Australian title by virtue OF a
victory over Herb Mccoy, but where
he gets the Canadian and South
African titles IS more than 1 can
guess. From his own record It ap-
pears that he has never boxed in
either country and I see nothing in
his record about meeting Joe Bay

boys who are best entitled to the
Canadian honors.
