the questions being asked: 'Do you

being discussed pro and con daily by
nearly every sporting man. Strong ad-
mirers of JEFF say the big fellow will
experience little difficulty in defeat

adherents think their favorite will sure

more conservative say that jeff has the
biggest job of his pugilistic career on

that he did when he fought Fitz,
Sharkey. and Corbett Ring history is
all against JEFF. No champion ever

ber Of years and when he returned dis

about seven years. For the last twelve
months James J. has been taking light

BOSTON, Mass, April 27-Leo
Houcks initial appearance in Boston
ring resulted in a loss through foul
in the third round Of his contest with
Frank Perron substitute for Dave
Deshler, who refused to meet Houcl1
because of the latter's weight Up
to the time when Houck struck Perron
low the Lancaster boy had things pret-
ty wen his own way. In the third he
began driving both hands TO Perron's
body. One of these blows was knocked
down by Perron and landed on the
groin. The matter was overlooked.
but a few moments later Houck sent
a glanclng left that landed full on
the same place. Perron dropped to
the mat and rolled over. The un-
fortunate ending Of the contest was
as deeply regretted by Houcl< as by
the crowd, which had gathered to see
the newcomer in action.
