Billy Gibson has treat 70 offer.
He has matched Wild Burt Kenny to
meet Buck Grouse at his vest pocket
club in The Bronx. On Saturday night
Mr.. Grouse will meet Mr.. Kenny, and
/ the tip to Grouse right now is that he
; is going to see the greatest imitation
of a fighting loon that he ever gazed
on. Kenny is an Irish iron rlgger
and he can fight. Not the parlor KIND,
mind you, Buck, but just the real old
Pier Six brand of fsticuffs. And
Buck, Just watch him and see what ne
does when you pop him on the chin
with your incest little belts.
He isn't human, even If he is lrish.
You can have the job, Buck. Do what
you can TO chastise that Celt, but doh
be disappointed if he doesn't go down
when YOU hit him. Hitting him makes
: him very angry Buck, and if you'll ac-
cept an earful, wait until you're sure
YOU see the white of his eye before
YOU put over the Big Train.
SO long, Buck, and may all the four
I leaf clovers be with you.
