The show stacks up ag one
of the most interesting to be

One of. the most promising of
these battlers is Johnny Pugh,

Pugh has given every. ~indication that -he will go a long
way up the fistic: ladder., Well
handled, he has shown exceptional.;ability:in. Detroit 'gymnasiums against no less~ able

makes more than twice as much
as some of our highly trained
teazners make. This is abominable and a disgrace to all of the
citizens of Flint, The only way
that we can correct this grevious
wrong is by going to the polls
Tuesday,and voting yes'on the
school amendment.
