TIE papers say have been matched to
meet Coulon At Monte Carlo. Surely
ia like to nght him there but haven't
heard anything about IT,"
Ledoux wac much pleased with the
popularity that followed his bout with
Kh Williams In Philadelphia. The local
cs4tics seemed TO think Ledoux entitled
90 the honore.
WILLIAMS. after I knocked him down
IN the second round, backed away and
covered UP too much" said Ledoux. Il
DON'T think him q champion"
The Frenchman's view OF a champions
Auses II interestinG.
"A champion" he said. should never
cover UP or back away. He should
alvays fieht and take his chance. II

ne French boxer will have to enter

yam. Before that unfortunate period
esmss, however. he hopcs to come here
aHbln and return 10 France as undeni-
80 holder Of the worlds championship.
- AN MORGAN returned 10 New
I'D York yesterday afternoon and
rushed 70 the phone.
Yep said Dan. Knockout Brown Is
AoAting good again and ne 10 all over
tSe effects Of his automobile accident
aSl ready TO 20 after the best Of them.
aAA the stable IL all working fine.
eapecially Jack Britton. whom I have
aaGnsd to meet Packey Mcfarland.
though Packey hasn't signed yet. be-
l1sve, and he knows Brtton will beat
IN, but Mcfarland will have TO come
SAsough with a match this time. and
I'm there's Jim Savage. who had
AGAting . big heavyweight giant out In
0GvNland, . big guy six feet seven and
q Qnarter inches tall and Weighing 222
psunds. while Savage weighed only is2
pOunds, and although New Workers are
Ocopticai about Savage. because Of his
taxing Q few dives around here. out In
Cleveland they think he's the greatest
champion IN the world, because OF the
wy he beat the giant TO pulp. and the
hdg fellow had been licking Tony Ross
In the gymnasium every day and had
won about fifteen nights with knockouts.
ana guess Mcfarland and Britton will
Aaht the first week in February and
Brlton will weigh In and Oct Packey
wejgh anything he wants to because he
dcesn't care what Packey weighs he'll
beat him anyhow and take 20 per cent
Tor Il and Packey win get 30 per cent
A. Dan stopped right here for a
seoond to catch his breath We slipped In
"goodnight' and hung up the phone.
mat shorthand conversation Is great
stuff Bet n Dan was going to be re-
moved hence In fipe minutes he'd have
time to dictate the story OF his lie.
~ HAT elimination tournament
scheme, as run out In CaHfor-
! mia, is great. A while ago they
we're running featherwcight bouts. one
after another. until kilbane defeated
Abe Atteil and took his title.
After that they played the light
weights. and the upshot OF that was the
hnlsh Of Ad wolgast and the coming In
Of lightweight champion Willie Richie.
Now they are tossing In the heayies.
First Mccarty knocked out Flynn, and
they are advertising the Palzer- AIcCarty
affair as a worlds championship. That
may go Ia Los Angeles, but II won't
dasturb the rest of the world. There
are several other heavyweights to be
conslderod Jess Willard, the n. 6
cowpuncher who whipped McCarty de-
c:Ayely here. must be given SNOW.
ps.--s. who sat az the ringside that
-sight. chooses Mccarty 10 willard as
an opponent for obvious reasons. And
there Is Gunboat Smith. II Gunboat
can learn to fght without fouling he'll
have a chance with MeCarty, Palzer or
any OF them. So also may Carl Morris.
walpm Palzer sdestepped when Morris
was doing his best work In New York.
George Davis, who stopped Stewart aal
who makes his first New York appear
anee "Wednesday night. may be there
too.
That heavyweight elimination can be
carried ON for few months, and 1t
should furnish good sport.
