DROU|llARD THINKS HE
WILL BR ING BACK BELT
Fights Billy Allen Thursday For
Flanagan Belt, Emblematic of
Canadian Championship.

With high hopes that hs will bring

emblematic OF the lightweight cham
plonship OF Canada. Patsy Drouillard.

for Toronto. Wednesday afternoon.

Billy Allen. Thursday night. under the
auspices OF the National Sporting
club.
Il think can whip Allen" said
Drouillard. Wednesday Anyway,
know that II don't, II won't be be-
cause | don't fight my hardest"
Ed. Glassco. who will be with Patsy
at the ring, thinks that his boy will
put II over the Ottawa phenom. Last
May, when Drouillard was only Is
years old. he held Allen to a draw
at TorontoS Since that time he has
spent nine weeks with Prof. Harry
Gilmore, OF Chicago. learning some or
the nicer points OF the art OF boxing
to add TO his already we'll stocked
supply OF gameness. His showing
with Chuck" Larsen, OF Chicago, at
Windsor, a few weeks ago on Pats
nineteenth birthday. was disap-
pointment. However, he Was in bad
shape physically at that time, while
he is I'm pink now
But he will have nobody TO toy
with when he runs up against Allen.
Allen claims the lightweight cham
pionship OF Canada, although he has
never bested George Leatham, the
Nova Scotia boy. who has appeared
several times In Windsor. and who
also claims. the title.
A week ago Monuay. he defeated
Tommy Kilbane, at Syracuse, which
alone gives him class, and he was
matched TO meet Mickey Sheridan at
the Cleveland Athletic club. but the
match was called OF because the
Clevelanders didn't want 20 use a man
who so shortly before had gone
through gruelling.
Allen has fought such men as Abe
Attell. earning draw In Syracuse
last winter; Knockout Brown and Kid
Julien. both OF whom he fought In
Hull, getting a draw with the former
and the decision over the latter.
Glassco expects that the Ottawa
boy will be the favorite at Toronto
as he Is considered somewhat OF a
Toronto product, while Patsy 10 re
garded as a rank outsider. In spite
Of the obstacles, however. the Wind
sor manager is confident that the
Flanagan belt will be included In his
protege's baggage on the return trip.
Besides Drouillard, Tommy Hudson
and George St Pierr, ot Detroit. will
appear In Toronto, Thursday night
St Pierre will tackle Moriarty. weigh

will take on Danny Dunn, Of Cleve.
land, at lis pounds.
Allen and his manager. Tom Huck,
OF Syracuse. have registered a COM
/ plant on the way In which the Elan
agan belt 10 to be awarded. They
call attention TO the fact that the
articles OF agreement for the bout
with Drouillard are 1872 pounds at
o'clock, whereas the recognized light
weight figure is 1873. ringside. Allen
says that Drouillard will probably
weigh 1873. ringside, after making 1872
at 3 O'Clock. Billy thinks that he will
trim the Windsorite decislvely. and
take the Flanagan belt. but says he
will never defend II any other weight
