be returned the winner by populs
approval. He declares he h;
never felt better in his long caree
and with the prospect Of a boz
soon with Johnny Wilson for Ii
middleweight title, is not going
permit a slipup.
Has Hard Right.
"Stockyards Tommy" is regar
cd as one of the hardest right-ha,
hitters in the division today. H
one failing has been an uncontro
able desire to swing his right fro
the floor. This has sometimes &
him into a peck of trouble, esp
cially when pitted against sma
boxer. However. he possesses
fairly good left and is capable
using it to advantage.
