	: After splitting with his manager Pete tried the game alone and the picking was none too rosy. He got or two matches around San Francisco where he boxed for $25 purses, and glad to get 'em, and was beaten two or three times. Then he returned to his Seattle home and now he is employed in a restaurant in that city and says he is going to devote his attention to something more lasting than the manly art.		: After splitting with his manager Pete tried the game alone and the picking was none too rosy.

	: There was a time when McVeigh thought his services were worth a lot of money. He earned more coin here in Tacoma than he ever made in his life at one time, about $300, and yet he was not satisfied--wanted more. He was the high-priced kid when the local club managers went after him to accept matches. He maintained that he was worth more. When things got a little bad for Peter he went south and accepted starvation prices and was glad to get them.		: There was a time when McVeigh thought his services were worth a lot of money.
