disposed Of all the men in his class.
Williams retired from the game for
a short time. but is now coming back
to it and he issued a challenge TO ali
boxers on the border for a match to
be held in Columbus or at any other
point In a letter TO The Herald
sporting editor, Williams outlines his
plans as follows.
Just a few lines to let you and
my many followers know that / who
have been out OF the game for more
than a year on account OF my health,
