anticipations to the racetrack of Ti

A f'offroth might come through with
a tempting offer for a fight of long

ather point that looks good to the
boxer.

rights at Tijauana. As a matter of
act, he gave the project consideration
inly once and that was more than a
year ago. Even before the Govern

liscarded any idea of putting on some
op-notch pugilists.
