CLEVER WORK.

Billie Farrell, local lightweight, is
attracting attention in the eastern
fistic world through his success in
these parts. He has received several
letters recently from men who want
to act as his manager in the east and
who promise him number of fast
bouts. One Of these letters is from
Tom Radcliff, who is now managing

Billie figures that a little more ex-
perience will not hurt him before
going out after the big money and
announces he will remain in Pen
dleton until he has secured this ex-
perience, When he thinks he has
developed sufficiently to go out after
the biggest guns in the lightweight
division, he will consider the propo-
siuon of taking on managers.
Farrell is working out daily in the
commercial gymnasium for his 90
round bout with Tommy Clark of
Portland at the oregon theater next
wednesday night. He starts work
ing at o'clock in the afternoon and
invites all interested to come up at
that hour. Clark will arrive in a few
