pions Buff looks more like a real
champion of the Terry McGovern
type than any other little man
we've seen in years. He likes the
game. After beating Peter Her
man he walked across the ring to
shake hands and said:
SDon't feel bad, old boy. You
can have another chance any time
you want it" Z
This was meant to be, encourag-

criticism of the rough tactics in
their former bout that the public
isn't sure yet Johnny is the better

all the talk could be amputated
For two or three years, there has
been nothing but an argument be-
tween the two that would make the
disarmament congress look like 8
deaf and dumb convention "going
into 1the silence" Leonard's posi-
ton that he won't fight Tender now
because Tender took his $4,000 for
felt when the last match fell
through, is silly. On the face OF

entirely sure of whipping Tender
he'd take his revenge that way apd

be sensitive about a little thing like
a grabbed forfeit. Compared to what
