Baltimore, Md, Dec. 29.-(Special)

In the ring Williams takes all sorts
of chances. He has more fighting
ability to the square inch than any
other boxer Of today of any degree or
class. When he jumps through the
ropes he seems to forget that he has
a title to lose. Instead Of playing
safe, his one object is to land a crush
err with the very leas. delay possible.
And the number of times he succeeds
is really remarkable when it is con-
sidered that he is a member OF the
lightest class. b.
