says nay, nay.

This being so, the Jersey City arena

question, according to report, on the
ground of a s15 maximum price
Therefore, the rest of the answer
might be that Kearns didn't have any
idea of putting his man against Wills,
that Rickard hadn't either and that
the whole scheme was designed to
induce Firpo to step into Richards

line beneath Willard's flowing pen
