through New England. In the North he
fought such tough fellows at kitch!e
Jasper and such clever ones as Johnny
Glover. He won all his bouts In New
England IN the lightweight class but
he Is growing fast into middleweight

be at catchwefghts, Herr being several
pounds lighter than his adversary,
The scrap between Thomas and Greek
should bring out some lively work,
Thomas has been working hard lately,
