to his eccentricities. He was match
ed TO box q fellow named Chuck
Larson, and was tired when he ar.

for a short sleep at the hotel, and
his manager came around to arouse
him about an hour before time was
called for his appearance In the
ring. saylor refused to listen to the
plesdings Of his manager to get MP

Saylor has got over all OF these
old traits now and has his eyes set

before him for robbing the nests of the
wild ducke in the park. One of the
boys has bee nbefore the juvenile
court.
Porter explained to the boys that
they might all be taken before the
court. and that their parents could
also be held responsible for the dam
