Hal Moore, Griffin's fighting
policeman, is becoming widely
known—not only in this country
but also in England.
Moore received a letter from a
boy in Grimsby, England, this week.
The letter said the writer, John
Davis, had read “a great deal"
about him in the different “Amer
ican mags" including the “Ring
mag".
"You are a real he man hitter,"
the letter said, “and I wish I could
be more like you when I grow up.”
