Trowerri and Fairhall To Swap Cards Oh Monday WILL TOM GET THIRD WIN ? Neither Reg. Trowern nor Tommy Fairhall would care to be known as receivers.

"THEY belong ;to a profession which 1 aims to please a world with its battle-cry 'o£ "Give Often and Receive. Seldom." The more often the giving is m evidence the^ better, they are; pleased. . ' . , And. neither, let it be mentioned, is greatly interested m philanthropy. . As with .evil. others, charity begins at home with both Reg.' and Tommy, and, I having been brought -up . m a ha*d school, it-is a case of self first, last and all the time. Next Monday evening at Wellington the pair will < step out to give their exhibitions of giving; but, with two minds with but a single thought there is sure to be a slip sooner or later. It will more than likely be sooner. ' Trowern, the bane of Purdy's existence, has not shown m this country for some many months. He has been tripping all about the south end of the hemisphere, doing his best to keep the home fires burning.

Wellington has always liked Reg. His style of quickly getting to business and keeping at it put him m big. All the world loves a trier, and Reg. is one real terror. Fairhail is one of the best fighters that has ever come to this country, but when opposed to Purdy a few weeks ago, he shaped poorly. ' He was not well, and Purdy, with his weaving, bobbing and ducking, made Thomas a close relation to an Angora. But next week Tom will be a different man and he will also be facing a different type of opponent. He has, to date, twice met and defeated Reg. — at Rushcutters and Leichhardt. He says he can now make the score xtriree, but Reg. is equally confident that it will be two- one after this next engagement. Opinions must differ, but Fairhail may have given the correct one this time.
