BOXING NOTES

Jimmy Walsh, the Boston bantam weight, and at one time claimant of the championship, has retired after an active ring career of nearly fourteen years. Very little hase been said about this young mans retirement, but just the same. he has been one of the greatest bantams ever produced in the east, barring of course, the won derfuI George Dixon. For years Walsh has been near the top of the bantam weight class and it is seldom that hs has had anything worse than draw. At times he has gone out of his class to meet featherweights and during his long career there are only about ten decisions, against him out of 15o battles, which is certainly quite a rec ord, considering that he met all com CTS.
 Jimmy not only batt1ed against the mediocre fighter. but against such stars as Monte AtteH, Johnny Kifoane. Al. Belmont, Tommy O'Toole and a host of others. Jimmy was a. clean little fighter and deserves credit for the splendid showing he made in prac- tically all of his battles, and it is hoped that he will be just as success full in his business career which he is now entering upon as he was in the ring.

The fact that Knockout Brown Of ring fame was on the sideInes must have inspired the National basketball players to deeds of daring last night. They were snooping around looking for. fight most Of the time they were playing the Blde Ribbons at Colonial hall but they lost the decisions in both boxing and basketball. The Ribbons took the honors by 46 to 3e in one Of the most thrilling contests of the sea son. It was not until the final min utes of play that the locals had a safe lead. si all right. They were inclined to use rough tactics and several impronnptu bouts were started. Tn the second period Beckman Of the visitors threw Stow among the spectators during a scramble for the ball and there was war immediately. Stow struck his head against a chair and received a shortly after
 Sehmalke, the National center who was picking on Smith all evening. rang up six goals and four fouls and Beck man, the much praised star. got three. The Ribbons gave the best exhi bition they have shown this year. Instead of tiring at the finish they came through with a. burst Of speed that put the game beyond danger.
 George Smith had a great evening. The big fellow found time between bouts to make seven baskets, several of them long shots. Wallum was a wizard at guarding and he also man aged to get three goals. Morrison and Stow were in fine fett1e while Lang hammer guarded his man well.
 t The first half ended with the score 2e to 22s in favor Of the locals but the Nationals crept within three points o1 the Ribbons in the second half. Man ager Leavy's men had to make a final squirt before they were sure of vic tory. The lineup:
