OH when you get ready, let's see you try 1t

Go ahead. It's six, two and even Won

Here, Mr.. Weatherman, you are no
genius. You've got built-in snow climate
going for your nasty sense of taste in the
first place, SO how come they make so
much TODD over you? If you were really
a right guy, which obviously you aren't,
you'd sneak in more rain in the summer

They wouldn't have to play so much and
therefore wouldn't lose as much.
But arguing with you is useless. Be-
fore it's over hope it SHOWS so much you

Snow also provided Charles Town with
one of its more humorous moments. Sew

boxer is authorized to partic-

ances by Edwin Ahlquist, who
is organizing the January 6
bout in Stockholm. The fedora
ton said 1t replied in a brief
telegram in these terms:
"Amonti regularly authorized
to fight next January g."
Speculation that Amonti
might not be allowed to fight
arose last week when a Judge
asked that his driving license
be suspended because Of a fatal
auto accident in 1861.
The Judge said Amonti
blamed the accident on tenn
porary blindness which he said
resulted from aggravation of a
brain ailment during a boxing
