Challenge

In Manhattan, Herbert J. ("Kid") Yates, 47 years, 165 Ibs., President of The Consolidated Film Co., No, 729 Seventh Ave., posted a bet of $50,000 that he could lick any business man of his age or over. H. A. Hallenbeck, Manhattan publisher, accepted the challenge, deposited his check for the amount. "Kid" Yates let his challenge stand. All over the U. S., other business men, staunch fisticuffers of 47 or more, irritated, began to look to their biceps, their check books.
