sobbing. "Thc public appears 70 be
against me, and I'm never going to box
agnin. This is the second time ] have
been accused of fouling an opponent,
having been disqualified against Johnny
Dundee IN New York less than two
weeks ago. Dundee was hit with a
body punch and so was Jacks.

It has been my sole purpose to satisfy
the fans by giving them my best efforts

this they wont find any more fault with
my punches. That's final"
