Personal Touches Here

Twelve O'Clock and NO WORD
FROM BILL WELLMAN. EMISSARY
EXTRAORDINARY at Kansas City,
No, for the Rickard-McCracken inter-
ests. Rickard was pried away from a
quorum Of bloated bondholders at the
Waldorf last night long enough to
gasp:
"No word from good Bill. We sent
him out there heeled, mind you, and
the fact that we haven't got word from
him is proof that he is too busy laying
our plans before the Willard syndicate

He's no loon, that boy, and when the

Cracken- Richard outfit will have planted
It's brand on the Aanks OF the Willard
syndicate. We haven's lost our spark,

talked it all over during chuck to-

"Sam is just as full of speed over
the bout as he was the day We decided
to go in for it, We have received so
much encouragement from everybody
concerned that we are bound to go
ahead with our plans. or course,
lot of the local promoters do not like
the idea of an outsider coming in and
roping their fire, but the game needs
a little tone around here. and If Sam
and Tex DO not show them how to run
a fight in a regular way they will hand
over their Betseys TO your sheriff and
give themselves up as PAIR of tender
footed chumps."
