What's the difference? A critic has as
much right TO change his mind-or his
base-as "A newspaper or a political
party. In pugilism. az it Is constituted
today, it isn't what one critic thinks
or what dozen thin5-that establishes
a claim to pre-eminence.
A critic of my acquaintance once
held that Denver Ed Smith was the
really true champion of Australia be-
cause he knocked out Joe Goddard who
''bested" Peter jackson in Melbourne.
Another insisted that FItzsimmons did
not relieve Jack Dempsey OF the Amer
lean end of the middleweight champion
ship at New Orleans, for the reason that
lie Blanche, the marine, had already
defeated Dempsey.
AS a matter Of fact the records are in
such shape that each and every critic.

pick his own champion and fix up an
argument that will make the claim
look good. SO il will be until such time
