Jones has contacted Joe Waterman of Portland's flourishing fistic fiestas and says Waterman is willing to work with the new deal in Salem. But he's having enough trouble trying to fill his own cards with good bouts, so at present can't promise us a thing,' says Jones. "However, Twentieth Century club or not, we'll work with any stable which can supply us good boys. Just as soon as we're as sured such battlers we're ready to operate. Might be tomorrow, or next week or two months from now, but Just as soon as we can line up respectful cards for. Sa lem fans well open up. And defi nite moves have been made to restore the fight game in Salem,' says Jones. To which we postscript a "nice going" and "we don't blame you.' Nice going for efforts to revive the game here, and we don't blame you for avoiding suicide before you even start. To bring in the wilted cauliflower artists right off the bat would be all the same as luring Fido in with a bone and then giving him a bath instead he'd have to be awfully sure he was going to get that bone before It would work again.
