In order to escape disqualification

also to dissipate the unpleasant odors
which arose from their previous

Georges asked postponement of the
bout to allow him first to take on

Skis excuses were more ingenu-

he wrote. Skis not a chemist not
gentleman, like Carpenter, but
'beaucoup' intelligent and would like
to fight all men who kill poor, de-
fenseless animals that way.
But if l fight for the laboratories
they'll just buy more rhum for new
