...Midwest. The Bowser group also includes Gus Sonnenberg, Jack Sherry, Don George, Henri De Glane (champion). Londos is champion for the most profitable of the three groups, operated by Promoter Jack Curley in Manhattan and the Midwest.

Promoter Curley, sure that Londos could beat him anyway, was inclined to doubt this. He said: "I think he [De Vito...
...ferry. So good was the result that fat Tommy Nast was promptly hired?at $4 a week. Constant difficulty in collecting even this salary caused him to leave Leslie's Weekly. The New York Illustrated News sent him to Italy to follow the triumphal advance of red-shirted Giuseppe Garibaldi up the peninsula. From this almost bloodless war he sent bales of drawings very much like those his great contemporary, Constantin Guys, was doing for the London Illustrated News. When he returned to the U.

The heroic figure of Garibaldi soon evaporated in the thin, rational air of Cambridge and left only an uneasy sense of contact with something which was impossible.
