"It alnt like this Chack Bernstein
was a foreigner. He Is a good Amer
ican like me and he came over from
Kovno In the same steerlch which I
came In It myseluf and landed at Alice
Island. But fellers like Red Perpper
Martin and Chonny Dundee, which they
is probably a lot of foreigners, could
get. work and my ftghter couldn't get
noire of the big money at all. I am
writing to the Harlem Congress foller

"Chack Bernstein is now a light
weight but maybe next week he will
be a bantamweight on account Solomon

Chack would be a bantamweight and if
the fight trust alnt busted and he
wouldn't eat ho should maybe bo a
flyweight and I could get him a match
with Chlmmy Wilde. So maybe It
would bo all for the beBt.
