PRIZE RING POINTS
Scrapping is Lively All Over the
Country this Summer

New York, July 1.-THE fight fans
just now are clamoring for a battle
between Kid Williams, bantam
champion and Patsey Brannigan one
of the top-notchers in that class. and
man whose past record certainly
seems to. entitle him to another
chance at the title.
Brannigan, who now is under the
management of Ed. Fritz, of New
castle, Pa, battled Williams before
the Baltimore youth was champion,
fought with Johnny Coulon, while
he held the title. and fought two
battles with Johnny Kilbane, the
featherweight champion. And in ey-
cry one of these fights Brannigan
was credited with a draw, although
in each case he was from two TO
seven pounds lighter than his OPP
ponent.
Brannigan, who has been called
".whrilwind" Brannigan because of
his rushing ring tactics, has fought
$50 times, has lost but one decision
and that on points, and has never
been floored, which is some record
and one which the fighting public
feels entities Brannigan to another
chance at the championship.
Branningan's friends always have
claimed that instead of being given
draws in his battles with Coulon and
Williams he should have been given
the dicision, as he outslugged and
outfought both men.
IF Brannigan and Williams gel
together the fans can count on see
ing bang-up fighting exhibition"
