Kid Williams 10 defend his bantam

the public will be willing for the mid

All OF these will be staged in New
Orleans. and Milwaukee and New
York will have TO yield the fight palm
to the Crescent city for the remainder
OF the year very shortly.
The Tortorich-McCarey combination
is realizing that its time has come,
and Is busily engaged in angling for
terms. Welsh White, Shugrue and
probably Mandot will furnish the

almost certain that Williams and
