W. 10 L an1WeI9nt champion,
tn OMNY WALSH has a fine
chance of starting another
bantam class which will be
recognized by the critics and the
public as worthy of serious .consid-
Grafton. The writer has been cham
pion of the worlds bantamweights
for several years, and certainly
holds the right to set the weight
at which he wishes to defend his
honors
The chief trouble with Walsh and
his fighter. frankie Burns. is that
they know Burns is feather
weight. but not good enough to
mingle with the good feathers. So
they are trying to butt into my
class and put over something. But
they can't get away with il, Lee
doux. Morgan and Walsh can have

the ringside. Otherwise there is no
chance for them.

He'll Box Burns and Bet Him.
If Burns really wants to meet me
again for 20 rounds at 116 ring
side, let him name the date and the
place He can have a nice side
bet if he wants it, too.
Despite'Walsh's claims, there are
plenty of 116-pound boys to fight
Kid Williams is an idol in Balti-
more and New York. Out on the
coast Eddie Campia is another
great card The bantam class can
get along without the feather
weights Let Burns and the rest
do my weight or get out of the di-
vision. They can't start a new one.

To begin with, Coulon never won
the title from anybody. How did
he get it? He beat a lot Of 105-

There was none to dispute him at

champion Next he pushed it to 116
pounds, finally to 116, and now he

A New Class a Certainty.
Just as sure as Coulon sticks to

is going to be new bantamweight

Bitten By Dog But
 Can't Get Damages

Although Henry Harris of 2s6 Will mot avenue. was awarded s20O dam ages by jury in the court of com mon pleas as a result of being bit zen by a dog. he is having consider able difficulty in recovering judg- ment. This morning George H. Wet terlein of Goddard avenue, against whom the Judgment was given, brought action in the court of conn mon pleas against Harris.
 Wetterlein says he had defense which was not presented at the trial last November. Harris claimed to have been bitten by large dog Im- mediately after the occurrence Wet terlein says he sent Dr. w. J. A. O'Hara to examine Harris and the physician found no evidence of wounds. In spite of this, however. Harris showed the jury a number of scars on his ankle, alleged to have been caused by the dogs bites.
 It is said that lawyers did not put Dr. O'Hara on the stand at the last trial because Wetterlein speaks poor English and was unable to make his counsel understand what he wanted. Wetterlein wants the court to set the jury's verdict aside and also to grant an injunction restraining Harris from foreclosing a judgment lien on the Wetterlein property.
