= FIGHT FEVER 9 o DreBerGerG- He said, “Quiet as a morgue. I'll go nuts. How can I run a farm? I ain’t even sure what a cow looks like.” FOUND a man to run the farm and worked out a salary and per- centage basis with him. The days went by and Danny surprised himself. There was plenty to do. He got up early in the mornings and worked outdoors all day. There were always chores and it was fine to be out in the open air.

I was over this morning. The officer in charge knew you were staying here. He wanged to know if you’d put on an exhibition at the camp next week, They have a middle- weight there you’ll remember. Joe Bron- son. You’re going three rounds with him. Just to put on a little show for the boys.” Danny dug out some gloves from a trunk the next day.
