New Brunswick scrapper and Kid
Potty of this city.
Freedman hoatcd into town the

his impromptu mixup with Potty

the idea of permitting his ring activi-

1t is like putty. then firmly press 1t
into the cracks and smooth over with
q thin steel knife. Sandpaper over
the surrounding wood and work the

Beeswax is better than putty, for
