“I’m guaranlteed $60,000 for this

Promoter HarrisJ who also has

the fact thalt Riggs and Kramer
are “two competitors who won’t
give an inch.”
After the! United States tour

Not too long a#o, Carlisle had

Next fall this athlete was back j

The Indilan!replied, “Under a tree.”
“We’ll fiix that,” said the judge,

So the Indian went pack to Car
