HEAVYWEIGHT TITLE
ALWAYS IN DOUBT
,Jeffries First Queensberry
Boxer Really Entitled to
Worlds Championship.

Borbadier Wells is really the
first legitimate heavyweight English
champion TO visit here since the stuffed
gloves and Quecnsberry rules super
seeded the London prize ring methods.
If Charley Mitchell be excepted.
Mitchell s claim to the British
championship rested mainly on his hsv-
ing won I'm open competition for
more than a welterweight at the time.
And iuS then Jem Smith was the
recognized prize ilng champion of Eng
land. aud even appeared IN tho role
~ heavy weight champion against
Peter Jackson at later date. although
Smith and Mitchell never fought 10
decide which was Britain's s glove rep
rcsentative.
As a matter Of fact, the situation
regarding heavyweight titles during
what may be called the Sullivan
Mitchell era was n decidedly mixed
and curious one. Mitchell was called
insisted that he was heavyweight
champion of the same isle. Paddy
Slavin and Peter Jackson disputed the
Australian title. and John L. Sullivan
billed himself as champion of the
world. This last was stretching things
bit. as John would not fight either
Slavin or Jackson, and his meeting
with Mitchell at Chantilly. France, un-
der London rules, was declared draw
after thirty-nine rounds had been con-
tested
Therefore. when jim Corbett
whipped Sullivan he annexed not the
worlds championship, but the Ameri-
can title. Defeating Mitchell was a

Bob FIt1simmons, eliminated Corbett
when the pair clashed at Carson City.

sort. For Bob. like Sullivan, enter

Fitz's memory and he would not be be-
