the young man from down New Or

he had better tell his title fare

yemher OF 1917; Herman claims that
ne never could make the weigh, OF
his class as an alibi for his failure
10 defend his title on any other oc.
t&sion. Well, every man to GiS own
opinion.
Stage Is All Set.
Everything is all set for the risk
tomorrow night. According TO time
ionored custom both fighters havc
arnounccd that they never were in
better condition. 1t is far too early
Tor them - start talking about boin;;

This would b" poor form TO say he

PARTICULAR case they should both win
the fight on account of their superb
condition. Al any rate it is good 10
