The shrinking. ultraviolet soul of
'Andsome AIRY Pollok has been mex
pressbly shocked by recent actions of
the "wire hounds and the Beau
Brummel OF managers writes in to
tell us all about it,
1t was not so long ago. if our rusty
brain-pan is still funct.oning properly,
but that we. can remember the days
when AIRY used to do some tall and
lofty sprinting HIMSELF to the telc
graph wires after his champions had
taken part in bout. But that was
some time ago, wasn't it, and man
can reform, can't he, and tread the
straight and narrow path, mayn't he,
without having his past sitting on his
chest every night and making faces
al him when he tries to sleep?
Pollok is all broken up because Of
the way in which Lew Tenders man
ager acted the other night, following
the six-round bout in Philadelphia be-
tween Tender and Irish Patsy CTTEn,
'Arry's pet lightweight. But let Beau
tell it IN his own zlppy style. We
quote, in part, from Pollok's letter:
"Clinc beat Tender. but when we
reached New York having left
Philadelphia on the midnight train
we were ;lstounded to find the papers
containing reports that Tender had
won the battle. Tenders manager
had evidently written wires 10 all
the Gotham papers BEFORE the
match took place. am enclosing
you q couple Of clippings. One is
from New York paper that sent

correctly, saying Cine won handily.
The other is Philadelphia paper

won. It's about time boxing author
ties and clubs banded together to
bar managers who resort to such
practices"
We weren't at the bout, and we don't
hnow anything about it. except what
We read in several different news
papers. but we want to tell the world
this. that for a random" picker, Pol
lok is an "ace." IF we had your pick

little fist into bushel basket full
Of Tcclas and one genuine pearl and
pull out the honest oysters only child
every time. IT'S funny thing, but
Pollok picked out the ONLY Philadel-
clared Cline the winner; all the rest
we're for Tender.
