Show "CYCLONE" TELLS HIS SIDE. How's this for muckt Cyclone Thompson blew in at his home at Sycamore. Syca-more. III., the other day and told the old folks that the reason his match with Jimmie Britt fell through was because Cyclone was an honest man. Wouldn't that curl a kink in your kachouf 8a vs f'y: Britt agreed to fight Cv if the fatter put awav Lew Powell, Fred Ward and Jack Clifford in one-two-three order. Cy did it. Then Britt said he'd fight Cv if he would lay down. Cy was the fall guy. But Britt got hip, and wanted the sucker to put up 2000 for his lavdown. Cy couldn't see it that way, or else didn't have the quid, and the stuff was off. That's what Cy says. Britt hasu 't been heard from yet. |
