morrie Johnson 3 Roseland followers
cannot see anything TO his fight but
their man. Eddie Raynor is going to
make things interesting for Morrie and
Il would not be surprising to see some
one taking the count in this battle
Eddie Raynor can hit hard enough to
Jolt the biggest OF them. and if he can
get through the defensive tactics that
Johnson will make use Of. ID NAV he
good night for tho Roseland boy
Johnson Is fast perhaps faster than
the South Chicago scrapper but We do
not th.nk he is going to Gud Eddie
