with Georgetown at the American

continued. "and I figure the game

Who Is this mysterious friend Of
Clark Grtfith who has been making
overtures for the purchase of the

chise and plant, and my friend
couldn't see such a price. That's
all I know about the proposition"
Sounds as II Frazee is holding out
for a monstrous wad. but consid-
ering the value of the grounds In

orbitant.
