a battle royal over in Philly one
night, and six of the darkest boys
that ever straddled a rope were In
there fighting.

stronger than a horse. He pelted four
of his opponents on the puss and
down they went for keeps.
The NTH, who resembled the Mask
ed Marvel, inasmuch as his dome was
blacker than the rest OF him, stuck
to his guns like a wolf. He would
not be knocked out. lie wanted TO
be the last man in the ring and cop
the kale. He put up an awful argu-
ment for awhile. but suddenly got a
belt on the old pantry and sank to
the floor weary and disgusted.
De Forrest rushed over and count
ed up to five. The fallen gladiator
arose to one knee, then, reaching for
the ropes, got up and started to take
a runout powder. Jimmy grabbed
him by the arm, and giving him a
yank, yelled, "Come back here, Wash
lngton. you're not out"'
Mr.. Washington turned and, with an
appealing look. piped:
"Ah know I'm not, but I'm half
