accepted title holder in the bantam
weight division, McCarey has donated
a diamond championship belt, to go TO
Kid Williams for winning over Charles
LedouX, the French champion.
Some class to AIcCarey's nerve, all
right, especially as Eddie Campi has
a look in at the title Nevertheless the
conditions governing the donation OF
the new belt make for action in the
boxing world and for less fOur-flush-
ing on the part Of future champions.
The conditions governing the reten-
ticn of the belt and title compel the
holder to defend his honors not less
than once every six months in a 20
round fight.
McCarey Ends Weight SnarI.
Also McCarey has amputated another
canker from the bantamWeight situa-
ringside shall be the championship fig
ure. Almost every fighter who has
sought an engagement with COulOn has
come to grief on the weight question
McCarey'S is the figure for which COu-
Ion has nearly always held out.
McCarey'S attempt TO create a new
champion IN the little mems division
regardless of the existence of title
holder will not meet with general ap-
prOval. however. Coulon is one OF the
best liked little men in the game and
until he resigns or is beaten, many viii
decline to credit a successor.
As to the merits of bantamWeights
coming to rate them; Kid Williams,
Eddie Campi. Johnny CoulOn, Charles
LedOux- Williams has beaten Campi in
a 20 round contest; Campi has beaten
LedOuX in a 20 round battle; Ledoux
shaded Williams in six rounds at Phila-
delphia-
. Coulon is still champion.

years that ne has set himself up as a
king maker. II this field McCarey has
now reached the stage where ne can

AcCarey did this twice and he's about
TO pull II again. He began by hang
ing up a championship belt III the
bantamWeight division for Monte At

didn't stick because the public had
