fident of wlnninir for I have had an op I portunity to size up my man and do not 1 think he can eel 1 to me hard enough to 1 make me seek I the mat It will be n I IJ inlxiip however from start to finish and it may bo possible that he will throw In 1 an iincxjiecUd jolt which will send me to the dream place but I doubt it I y j am only uniasy now waiting for the J Kong io ring so that r can get at him The suspense just before a battle and the 1 1 necessary layup In tralnlnp Is what I i hate Vnlt until I ret in the line and then T wll i show you Mlssourians Gardner talked very little simply
