Is Very Confident.
George Is considerably tickied at the
manner in which he is come down to

confidence by telling a large number
OF his friends that ne feels sure OF

patiently with Reuther ever since the

Whatever gossip you may hear
about either major league, you'll find
Philadelphia at the bottom of it.
There are people who can't get
Dempsey yet Some think that he was
lucky and point to his battles against
Aiske and Neehan as proof
True he did fight Neehan six times
and lose twice, but that doesn't saw
that Meehan should be declared
champ Dempsey and Meehan may
meet some day. Neehan is strong for
the chance. as he has Jacks goat.

Commission can do nothing except to
ask the proper authorities to prose-
