The first time the father and son came in together, the former said, “There’s the man you fbught at Griffin last winter.” And now the sports editor up here is speaking of a duplica tion of the Egghead-Stribling bout. Whew! EGGHEAD’S NAME is supposed to be on the mailing list of the News and Sun, but the paper gets mixed up with those going to the exchange desk.
