Knter another "masked roarrtl." New
Tork raved over thl ort of an Indl

Mecher put hire out of tha runnlne
t'hicaeo aom tlm aco bad a "masked

Tha masked roller skater, wrestler.
runner, swimmer, blrycl rider and
mysterious one hav been beard of In
moat every lino of sport, but It re
mained for foot Howard, tha ohkoh,
Wis promoter to brine out a masked
box.r.
When Howard wa In Portland
week aco with "-"rank lartnir b was
continually talklne about some my
t.rlou "nitliionalr tlmberman's ion'
who wa workine out with Farmer at
Jack Kmc . He waa notia other than
thia same Frank larmrr.
Howard would not disclose bl name
while here, however, slatlne that his
father objecid to him boxlne and
a-ouid disinherit him upon flmltnc out
that Ih boy had taken up tba art of
def.ndlne himself for a llvine-
lloward would sclle every oppor
tunlty to discus hi new prolrea when
he was In-town, and Bald that he could
make lit pound easily and rould lick
anything at bla weight In tha country.
I metier Kent lo Jack Klas.
Howard acd Farmer left I'ortiand
for T aco ma on week aco today, and
lha followlne I a letter received from
Howard mailed In Tacoma Saturday,
February :
"Tacoma. Wash- February . 11.

So. within a short time, we can ex
pec to hear of a boxlne "masked mar

Farmer, and tb "masked" lfeatruck

Just bow Sam plana on keeping
mask on Frank Farmer, who In the
I'ortiand "thllllonalro timber man's son,
is a I'Uiiir. Klne says that he has
some kind of a rublier affair with
band stretched tiehtly alt over the
head.
Hy the look of the photoeraph for
warded to Portland one wouid Imagine
that they had a bitrd time puttlne the
burnt cork over l armer'a bald dome.
Howard aealn showed how foxy he
waa bv mailing- the card to Klne. for
In Jack he could not have found
better presa aeent. Jack really cave
Sam the Idea, for the Oahkoah pro

Then, acaln. Sammy I liable to hav

drew on a Klove.
If Farmer et a match It will un
doubtedly be with Itobert, and the Sa
Francle--an may spread that rubber
mask all oxer hi fnc before four
round are over.
Howard letter lo Kine Is really
very decelvlne. especially when th In-
