here, can't you get her to lay of my BMP
Honest. she's ruinin' his technique"
Mr.. Van Duyl seemed perturbed. TT am
rather helpless. My daughter does whatever
she pleases. But couldn't you take this fellow
away somewhere? Couldn't you get matches
erin, say Asia or New Zealand"
Spider laughed. 1T mentioned a 90 only In
Boston yesterday and he turned on me like
tiger. He won't fight anywhere but in this
town-can't tear himself away from this golf
and your daughter"
The two sat in glum meditation for some
moments. Mr.. Van Duyl turned to the man
ager II am lawyer. I am wondering If we
couldn't scare him with some legal-looking
document. something that would serve us both.
Mr. er-"
'MacDougal," said Spider
Il think such a thing could be worked.
take 1t that your protege is-er-rather sim
pie"
Simple? That guy could be put out Of the
fourth grade for cloggn the works III bet
you could scare the daylights out Of him with
one of these here-these habeas corpuscle
things hey' He's scared stiff of jails"
He next afternoon, late, Spider was sitting
in the lobby of his hotel, running over q
pressed even judge. Spider smacked his lips
over its heavy language and gold seals
He looked up at the sound of a heavy chortle.
Clouter Bill was standing in front of him
and ne certainly was an apparition
"Wha-what have you done to YOURSELF"
Spider gasped Whats them things on your
legs?"
PLUS tours, see? Imported The Prince of
Wales wears EN- too"
Spiders poise returned and he tapped his
document on his knee well, fold EN- up big
boy, fold EN- up. We're travelling tonight.
You're fighting Bulgy Tombes on the 18th Of
next month"
What do you mean? I amt leavin' this
burg, not at all"
You're leavin' this millionaire skirt fiat,
see? And this Scotch ping pong too. Yeah,
laugh clown laugh! But you're goin'!"
who says amp" growled Clouter
This habeas corpuscle. that's what says 1t.
Listen. A big lawyer give me this and it says
of you don't fight as per my schedule and quit
this golf playin' can put you in the scraper
for six monthsi"
"Oh, Spider!"
I'll read it to you. Listen to this. you dumb
onion! I'll skip the Latin parts and the where
asses. First: The said William Dugan shall
faithfully perform his duties in the matter Of
boxing engagements and training as the said
cially as to schedules. Second: The said Will
liam Dugan shall not engage in any other
sport, including golf, that may impair his ex-
cellence as a boxer, this question being left to
the sole judgment Of the said James MacDou-
gal. And third"
Never mind no third. I'll QUIT"
YEAH" snapped Spider. You'll quit-this
jane and her golf. see? You're shown off to
Seattle tonight with me-"
It was the old boy of Cherry Valley with q
dull longing to tear somebody to pieces who
climbed into the ring with Buoy Tombes the
night of the 18th. From the tap Of the gong,
Bulgy was q doomed man and he knew it.
His superb defense kept him among the vertical
population for just three rounds.
Two weeks later in San Francisco the rejuve-
mated Clouter laid Groggy Gatchel like a
mile of linoleum. At Denver it was the same
old story. Clouter took on Spanish mountain
yclept Senior Alnhonso Valjez, and what he did
to the Don made Dewey's stuff at Manila Bay
look palhd. And at st. Louis it was similar.
