Secretary George c. Clarke greeted
him with a hearty handclasp. And
people wondered why Mr.. Clarke was
continually feeling of his fingers all
day. Mr.. Travis walked about the
city during the day and was delight
ed with the surroundings here.
People were asking if Mr.. Travis
had lost his overcoat but the cham
pion does not own one and does not
want too. He does not wear any
underwear and his suit is an ordinary
weight.
"Of course I am not out much"
declared Mr.. Travis. IF 1 was
working out all the time, I suppose
1 would dress warmer but l never
have. The coolest weather I even
experienced was in Lawrence and it
was 26 degrees below Zero"
