his title.
Inside of few days Mike Collins
plans to post certified check Of SO.

world, the same to go as side pet.
This is meant for Willard, and If he
doesn't accept inside Of 10 days after
the money is posted, Fulton will lay
claim to the heavyweight champion
ship OF the world and be ready to dc.
fend the honors against all corners.
Collins is also going to risk an addi'
tional $1,000. which will be posted that
willard is afraid to sign articles.
Fulton and Collins had little coT'
ment to make on the Morris fight
Hes more like billy goat than

fouled and butted me with his head.

Ilost one front tooth. Still, you should
