Alguien nos dijo, al entrar al Quin-

bernador iba a presenciar las carreras
de la tarde, para darse cuenta exacta
de la honradez con que las mismas
Sc llevaran a cabo. Pero por mas
que eXploramos con la vista por todos

clio a nuestros ojos. Luego Sc nos ase-
guro que ell Executive no habfa pen

 Dave, am the happiest man alive. Have just been promised definitely that I will get a crack at Mickey Walker, the champion, In Louisville, the night before the running of the Kentucky Derby. It sounds too good to be true. Just think, a year ago I wasn't looked upon as anything more than a ham-and- -egger. Now one of the biggest promoters in the south sends me papers to sign. and l have gone down on the dotted line agree ing to fight the champion.

Of course, I'll have to take the little end of the percentage, as challenger all ways has to do this, but just think what the chance means to me. If l could sling home haymaker, I would be a made man. Besides that the guarantee I am to get is way above night of fighting before-four times as much"
 The ever popular Jimmy seems to look on Birmingham as his second home, for he concludes his letter with, Tell the poole in Birmingham that I haven't forgotten them. It was in Birmingham that l made my real start and it was Birmingham people who filed in at the box office and started me on my career a a profess sional pug. Those Birmingham people have always been for me, and I'm going to give them the best I have Monday night Joe Nelson has never been knocked out, but he might not be able to boast as much when he meets me. Monday night I am going to come out of my corner fighting. and I'll be fighting at the end of the tenth round-that Is if the fight lasts that long.

I know I can outbox him. and if he should get In a sockdolager, it would have to be a chance blow"
