Willard actually engaged in ring COM

Of the bout and have sworn state
ments that the man purported therein
to be little Jess" is actually the cir
Gus man.
The navy IS sure the life, II they
would only give US a little action.

in letter to W A Young, OF the Y.
NJ. c. A.. that FL Paso is well repre-

Tommy Nelson, former FL Paso

Concerning the surprise OF Sergt. Jack
Love, that he Nelson, should Issue a
challenge to meet Love, Nelson writes:
Just think OF my rcord compred to
Loves and why shouldn't 1 challenge
him2 He ought to be complimented
that I think he is improving enough
to meet me since he fought in q pre-
liminary bout on the same card when
Nick Gundy and I fought for the title

out against him while he failed to
damage me at all IN our last bout I
couldn't make III pounds again, but
I hear Nick IS heavier. too, and It
would be good match"
Old Rough and Ready Jack Taylor
always has plenty Of fistic PROPOSE
tons IN sight even II the game is
halted by the @nu-" IN fact. there Is
no halt for Jack at any time. He is
wondering now why FL Paso boxers

Jack Arnold is another experienced
ringster who has volunteered to give
a liberal portion of his time IN pro-
noting a boxing show for some war
fund With the good civilian and
army material at hand" states Arnold,
i DO not see why We can't raise sew
eral thousand dollars here for some
war fund. It is done IN other cities
no larger than FL Paso and as for
push none Of them have more than we
have here, as Is shown IN the raising
Of other funds and in Liberty loan

Marty Falk is IN a dilemma. Marty
has been assigned to duty at Fort Nc
Pherson. Ga. in the big hospital there
where hundreds OF wounded Ameri-
can soldiers are being received from
France. 1t seems that through some
misunderstanding that there was an
impression that Marty IS a cripple
His FL Paso and Camp Cody friends
will vouch that he is a mighty lively
cripple and Falk himself is worried
because he can't find opponents there
10 start a fistic argument As a con-
sequence of glove inactivity the re-
port comes that Falk is getting fat.
Wouldn't It be a sight to see Marty
come rolling along built up after the
fashion Of Willie Meehan2 Maybe
some aggressive soldier will go to
Falk's deiiverance.
From the great number Of football
stars which compose the personnel OF
the Fifth cavalry, Seventh cavalry,
SD field artillery and 18th trains

athletic council should be the best
ever played here. Lovers Of the game
