decade or so ago. that Seattle fans
have ever seen. Long and thin, with
q punch and boxing ability. made
Cove one OF the best men OF his

Canadian service.
Pierce. real sensation because he
is ring freak that can punch. is
hack home in California. He would
lot box Dode Bercot again because
The logger was much too heavy and
strong for him. In their fight Pierce
really won, Bercot's strong finish

With Johnny Trambitas or Mike De
Pinto could be arranged. as both OF
these boys are capable OF giving
