Personally, I feel that a mis-
take will be made II they don't
decide this question by having
one man fight at the stadium
and the other at the Polo
Grounds. At that, they are
liable to draw a half-million-d dollar
gate, because nobody knows any
thing about either Of them, which
is the ideal state for any prize
fighter.
In lining UP its possibilities.
the committee is making much
haste and little speed, because
most of those who are to be
tossed back into the elimination
arena are on the Sharkey-Sc
card at Miami and thus may
start to get eliminated before the
elimination really gets started.
