Much Work Helps Pal.

Pal says that instead of so much
work hurting him, it is working won
ders with him, and that the more he
fights, the better condition he is In.
i know that the schedule my. man.
ager' Tommy Walsh arranged for me
to the occasion and could fight every
night II l wanted to. l always keep in
the pink and am ready to battle on a
moments notice. Instead of stopping

sny next bout, l never have to work my
head off to make the stipulated number
OF pounds. l am usually around 116,
and Monday night when | meet Richie
at the Lyric, I'll be probably at that
Speaking of Richie, I want to tell
Memphis ring fans that he is no dub,
for I've met him before and he gave
me a tough battle. He's a good, fast
boy. and while I'm going in there to
the hardest opponents / ever met, and
am not looking for any rose bed when
l tackle him Monday. Emil Thirty, his
manager, never handles any chumps,
and ever since he had charge of Packey
who were right up in the front rank. |
am going to give my friends here all
I've got Monday night, and believe
Richie. will be an opponent who will
make the bout a fast one throughout"
Pal Is different from the usual run
of fighters. He is educated and clean
cut, never resorting to the use of
desc" and dem" and dat that so
many of the fistic fraternity are noted
for, Instead, Pal uses good English,
and you wouldn't know he was a fighter
unless Somebody told you or you knew
him personally. He doesn't look the
part at all when he is in street clothes,
as he is, not marked anywhere, and
looks about as far removed from the
fight game as anybody ever was.
Possesses a Kick.
But the fact remains that he has a
kick in both hands and has defeated
the best of the bantams. He always
fights wherever he appears, with the
result that he is the best drawing card
among the little fellows in the BUSH
ness. When Pal Is booked to appear, he
is always assured OF a house, for the
fans know Pal will battle, and he has
never shown In d bout where, he has
been accused of stalling. He believes in
satisfying the patrons and knows that a
fast fight. is what they want.
The battle Monday night is expected
to bring out the largest assemblage of
fight lovers that have ever patronized
a local boxing show. for Pal Is always
a popular battler In Memphis, his home
town, and all the natives usually turn
out to see him perform In the padded
arena.

velvety moss. At first it had a very
lonely and undressed kind of feel
ing, as that was the only time since II
was a wee bit of a thing that it had
ever been out of the little fuZZy-lined
cup that had always held it, SO snug
and tight.
But everything around was so new
and strange that it did not have much
time to get homesick or lonesome. All
about were ferns with tiny dewdrops
hanging from every place where drops
could hang; little family groups of
pink and white mushrooms were scat
tered among the withered leaves, and
busy red ants were running here and
there but never too busy to stop and
rub feelers with every neighbor they
met, that being their way OF saying
Hello! how's everybody today?"
While the acorn lay very still and
wondered what strange thing would
happen next, a squirrel. one of these
long, gray wavy squirrels came down
where the acorn lay wishing with all
its heart it had stayed in its little
cradle up among the leaves that wills
pered it to sleep every night.
The squirrel turned aside to nip
off a pink mother mushroom standing
in the midst of her children, and
holding in his paws. sat up so straight
that the whole of his white vest
showed. He nibbled and nibbled until
