So, the certain party" theory is
out. But the story still has
didn't know-i was-loaded quality,
because Chuck didn't allow his
bereavement to affect his stern
business judgment-he didn't pay
for them.
The whole bill, Chuck recalls,
was S18. And the florist, whose
business judgment also was keen,
sued for his money. Chuck al
ways likes a fight, even when he is
fighting in some one else's back
yard, and he accepted the chal-
lenge.
He lodged process servers and
got along all right until some one
thoughtlessly scheduled him for a
fight in the city.
Somewhere or other, probably
from his carnival days, Chuck had
heard of attaching the box office
receipts, and he had a growing
suspicion that on the night of the
fght-even while he was giving
and taking punishment for dear
old Chuck-the minions of the
law would be collecting the box
office profits that he had in
tended would accure to him.
The night of the fight arrived,
with more fanfare about the pos
Sible outcome of the flower suit
than the fight. Chuck took his
place in the ring. Everything
looked dandy.
Then just before the battlers
were to assemble in the center of
the ring for the referee to search
them for over-treaty-limits arma-
ment, such as brass knuckles, an
unscheduled event took place.
TINE florist, happy at what he
l. considered the certain col
lection of his bill, and grateful
for the vast amount of publicity
the Virgins suit had brought him,
had friend climb into the ring
and present Chuck with a large
bouquet of roses. The crowd
dubbed him the orchid kid"
Chuck was very happy-not to
say touched-at the gift and as
sort of gesture at appreciation,
whipped the daylights out of his
opponent.
The evening ended happily for
every one-with the possible eX-
ception of the florist, who learned
after the fight that Chuck had
collected his wages before he en-
tered the ring-and the $18 was
not collected
Chuck can't recall just now
whether he ever did pay that bill.
But he does remember once be-
fore when there seemed to be
some danger about his collection
of money owed to him.
That was when he travelled with
a carnival, fighting all corners and
taking no beatings that he didn't
know about in advance. AS a
come-on he fought a gentleman

Protest of the Building Supply
Dealers Association against the
awarding of bids for crushed stone
to penal institutions was voiced yes
terday in a letter received by the
city purchasing department, written
by H. A. Rogers, association secre-
tary.
The letter charged that the bids

cutting and contrary to the spirit
OF the NRA.'
In his letter, Mr.. Rogers reminded

submitted bids on the stone we're
living up to their respective codes
as to labor provisions and hours Of
employment, and also were tax
payers and respected citizens of the
community"

NEW YORK, March 30.-The

known in the trade as a palooka;
known affectionately to Chuck as
a stumble-bum.
To relieve the routine, Chuck
every once in while allowed the
palooka to beat him. This went or
and the palooka got chesty.

he to Chuck with an initiation of
his biceps, and I got $1,000 that
says So"
You can't beat me any time"
says Chuck to him, but I amt
got $1,000 that says anything"
Then he went about the camp
very sorrowful indeed that lack of
capital prevented him from TAX
ing advantage of a business oppor-
tunity.
NTOW it so happened that, when
~ the carnival put up in a
town whose citizens were I'M
usually cohesive and partisan, one
Of the town slickers made what
later were described as. improper
advances to the wife of a promi-
nent gypsy. She defended her
honor on a let's-you-and-him-
fight basis.
AS employees Of the carnival
rushed to the gypsy's aid, towns
people rushed to the aid of the
slicker. Things were getting into
state of hopeless stagnation
when Chuck heard about the mat
ter. When he arrived on the
scene he saw that arbitration of
the difficulty would be impudent,
so he started to fight.
Chuck was bit decisive about
his attitude in the matter, and
many towns person went home
with something he later explained
as having been inflicted when he
walked into an open door.
All of this contributed to the
unpopularity of Chuck.
Well, the gypsy and his strenu-
ously defended wife we're so CRATE
full to Chuck that they decided to
lend him $1,000 to take advantage
of that business opportunity, and
the bet was made and the fight
set for after closing hours one
night, with carnival employees and
some city people as the invited
guests.
Among the city people invited
were some who saw the fight with
only one eye, and Chuck listed
them among his warmest enemies.
n
CHUCK, of course, won in Sc
~ ries of breezes. He toyed with
his opponent, but each round he
put in telling punch or so. The
crowd grew restless, because most
of them had hoped and believed
Chuck would get beaten. Some
even had made bets.
Chuck Sensed the uneasinesS of
the crowd, ana made his plans ac-
cordingly. When he decided to
end the thing, he swung from the
floor and his opponent went down
