In which the Battler appeared to have given even more than was sent. To many It looked Ule a case of pur highway robbery.

He did not meddle In his sons plans or puglltstla ambitions, but every time Jimmy started the dad waa near at hand. i They tell a good story on Jimmy in connection with his first professional fight.
