ears were all puffed- Erne, on the
other hand, didn't bear a mark or
bruise and retired from the ring al
most as fresh as when he entered.
When the twentieth round came
around both boys were out to try and
furnish a whirlwind finish. Erne at
this time appeared to be at his best,
while Dixon lacked dash. Erne got

Dear Friend Rody:
We have your letter of the 2Sth
with reference to the match and con-
tents carefully noted. We will ex-
pect you people on the morning OF the
10th and we would thank you to
notify us as to how many we may
expect in the party.
We thought at one time 1t would be
nice to be up there around the Attn
of March. but inasmuch as Brother
Harding has notified us that he will
try to get along without us for
few days at least, we will wait and
arrange the date when you fellows
get down here. 1t might be that we
will be able to make you concede de-
feat after the first FIVE games as you
did last year. If 80 we don't see any
reason for coming.
Regards to all
