proposition for making a 20-round
match for a side bet of 810,000.
"And I'll get two menlknow per-

said Gibson. l
Pollok demurred in the silggestlon
and was apparently not ready to talk
business.
"Then “I tell you what “I do,"

“No you won't." returned Pollolt.’
“Benny Leonard is not Charley!

And there the proposition for a 20?

tribute to the lighting qualities of thei
New York boy. |
