has been trying for two years to meet

to listen to him. He is willing to
wrestle handicap match and offers
to throw Thompson twice in an hour.

it's Of rather ancient vintage but it's
the only one Earl has furnished to the

Mr.. Mason is one Of the youngest

in his 3srd year. He was also the first
