Ballyhooing That Revenge.

IN A case like this, Mr.. Fellows
would say, or be quoted as say
ing:
"The greatest city in the world has
prepared 10 miles of red carpet foot
thick for the reception of the greatest
fighter in the world, James A. NC
Iarnin, the sinister and Seraphlm-
countenanced assassin from the path
less jungles of darkest Vancouver,
brought here alive at vast risk and
expense to beat his native tom-tom
rhythms upon the jaw Of Barnet Ra-
sofsky, alias Zip. alias Barney Ross,
alleged lightweight and welterwe1ght
champion of the entire universe.
Come and see the killers revenge.
Hurry! Hurry Hurry!"
Mr.. Fellows is one for detecting the
sensational or entertaining aspects OF
a situation and advertising them with
great success.
Mr.. Foster. detects them, too,
or Is supposed to do so, but he
strips his bulletin to something
less than a bare statement Of
facts.
Jimmy is feeling fine" he has re-
ported on his current visit; also,
Jimmy has been having a good time
in Vancouver, and 1--WE may win"
The chances are that Mr.. Fosters
report is correct in every detail, but
it does not clutch nor grip the imagi-
nation. This return bout with Ross
is scheduled to be drama OF stark
vengeance, the killers last stand, a
blow to keep the world safe for Irish
Scotch Canadian prizefighters. Mr..
Foster does not say any of this, SO
you have to figure it out for your
self.
There Is no denying that Mr..
McLarnin was hurt and cha
grinned by the outcome Of his
last fight with Ross. He sat
with his chin In his hands for
some hours after 1t was over,
looking as cheerful as an
Alaskan sleddog In a Turkish
bath.
1t was not a satisfactory fight for
James in any way, because it did not
convince him that Ross was better
fighter. Ross hit him with every
thing but the family skillet, but did
no damage at all.
