George Gunthner.

Poston, Nov. 30.-"Honey' Melody or

velre-weight champion. for by making
Poe Walcott stop III II rounds at the
Lincoln club, Chelsea, last night he be-
came the possessor Of the title that
Walcott has held since he defeated
I,ubc Ferns at Fort Erie in 1901.
T., has been the ambition of Melody
TO win the proud title. that many nave
tried and failed to wrest from Walc"tt.
and ne was as happy as child with
nov. 10Y when he heard Walcott say: Il
have enough" and stop boxing.
Melody was lucky to take on Walcott
at a lime when he was on the Wane.
While Walcott was in better shape than
Melody. still he is far from being the
boxer that he was when he won the
wreath in his class. While stopping the
way Walcott did is apt to class nm as
n "uuitter,' still the colOred boxer did
the only thing possible.
In the ninth round he injured his left
arm in the same place that he did in
his battle with Cans. and this meant
that he would get only worse beating
than he had already received from Mel
lody if he continued.
The coiored boxers arm was so bad
in the 10th round that his manager
wanted to throw up the sponge. but
Walcott would not stand for it. belieV-
ing he would eventually "cop" Melody
with the right.

that their work Thursday night was
not quite as fast as in the previous
bout but however, that may be it was
fast enough to make good sport.
II would be L pretty close decision
that would give either one of the adj
vantage, and while Adams seemed to
have the best of it in some rounds

others, and when at the end of the 18th
