MILWAUKEE, Wis. April Is ''
lightweight battlers were out IN i''oe
this week and were busy in the cum
nation of aspirants to Willie fatcine
crown. Bud Anderson, the Vancouver
bearcat. proved his real worth os
coming back and putting kayo Brown
of New York away in fifteen rounds at
Los Angeles. after having fought him a
+rentv-round draw only few weeks ago.
Pal Brown. the Minnesota sensation. and
pa1- TemnIe q Milwaukee lad who should
1s1,re as a contender for the title. had
red-hot, ten-round argument In the cfty
of beer. and there was nothing to choose
between them, while Jack Britton got
the popular verdict over Matty BALDWIN
in a ten-round bout at New YORK
The defeat by the knockout route, OF

tough for a newcomer like Anderson to

Anderson more prominently into the lime
light as one of the boys who will PROB
ably get a crack at the 133-pound title.
He is now in line for battle on the
coast with either Joe Rivers or the VIII
ner Of the Wolgast- Murphy battle.
With Pal Brown and Temple DattiIis
over the shorter route, the fans could
not get such a good line, but neverthe-
less both boys showed up to advantage:

fIl lightweight As for Pal Brown, the
boy fought under a big handicap. having
a very bad ear and advised by the doc
tor against going on, but he did 1t to
keep faith with the club and no more.
His work was high class and stamps MIN
as one Of the lightweights who must be
considered later on. He Will rest up
until his ear is thoroughly healed and
will not battle again until July a. Pal
injury of the ear comes at bad time, as
he had been matched to fight with Jimmy
Duffy of Buffalo before Jack Melon
ough's club at Butte, Mont. but was

Burns had guaranteed him S2,00O for a
big match with one of the stars. Pal VIII

Jack Brittons defeat of Matty Baldwin
was expected, as the clever Britton had
too many guns for the Boston boy. who
seems to have gone back the past SIX
months. Britton can beat most of the
ness alone and IL they expect to stop his
march they had better seek the marathon
distance for chance at his scalp.
Joe Mandot. the southern champion. is
back on the job after quite lay-off. but
his showing against Johnny Lore Of New
York was not what might have been ex-
pected from boy so near the top as
Joe. However. the New Orleans lad was
taking no chances and fought careful

expects to go to the coast again after
twenty-round bout in the Crescent city
and try once more for the top line with

Jimmy Clabby and Eddie McGoorty
have at last been matched, and We are
to have a real middleweight contest be-
tween two of the cleverest 15S-pounders
in the country-yes, the world. The
weight is 15S at 6 o'clock, which will be
weight limit of ringside weight. They
meet in a ten-round bou. at Denver Mag
.. and the only regret is that the dis
tance is not longer. for they are both
too clever to have a decided victory in
that number of rounds They have real
class. and the winner. if there is one, can
well go after Frank Klaus for big

now that he can easily do the middle

dleweight. one who Is considered at the
top, and the fans will anxiOusly await the
verdict. McGoorty Will find the Hammond
boy one of the shiftiest lads he has yet
been against. and one who will worry him
with left the same as he has worried
others In similar manner.
1t takes some time for boxers to get
next" to themselves as regards the
3>rl 81
them never do get next" For a time
Eddie McGoorty. the Oshkosh middle
weight, whom every writer considered
had a splendid claim to the middle
weight championship. had an idea that
he could go into any kind of contest
and hold his own. whether he was
properly trained or not. as he had
every confidence in his own ability.
Eddie went along all right until he
bumped into Gus Christie at Fond du
latter gave him a battle he never
looked for. He taught Eddie half
lesson, and when the Oshkosh boy was
matched to meet Bob Moha in Milwau-
kee he asked for a postponement in
order to get more time to train. as he
realized that Moha was hard PROPOSE
ton. He had another scare from Bob,
for 1t was nip and tuck all the way.
II was then that McGoorty began to
realize that he must get down to the
hardest kind OF work to get back into
proper form, and as a result he en-
gagged Rude Unholz. the Boer light
weight, who is also an excellent
trainer, to help condition him. Eddie-s
return fight with Christie at Oshkosh
showed a different McGoorty than the
one who faced Gus the first time. Ed
die fought cleverly and gave a splendid
exhibition of boxing skill. He fought
Christie in careful manner for five
rounds. the Milwaukee boy doing all
the aggressive work and making a
great showing But after that Nc
Goorty cut loose. and from the sixth
to the tenth he never was headed,
gaining a clear verdict.
Now McGoorty is out for the title at
I5s pounds and wants to meet all the
men who can do the weight and settle the
question as to who is American cham
pion.
the claim of Frank Klaus in Paris
does not hold for a minute said Eddie,
after the Christie battle. KLAUS has
beaten Papke. but that does not make
him champion by long ways. They did
not fight at the middlewefght limit. but at
16O pounds at o'clock Klaus can have
my game over the twenty-round route
any time, and IL we are considered the
best Of the middleweights. why We will
fight for the title. either In this country or
France. 1t does not matter to me which
place. II go to France I may also ar
range to make q trip to Australia as
would like TO visit the land Of the kanga-
roo and try my luck against the best 100
Founders Of that country. I beat Smith
