should De compeiied 10 give written

iefend the title in case they won II, m
stead OF taking it away and hiding 1t for
an indefinite period. Willie suggests that
# challenger wins the championship he
shall be compelled to fight in defense of
The same at least every six months. and
that failing to do so the title shall pass
TO the one who is considered as the most
eritimate challenger in order Another
suggestion is that every championship
Hght should he awarded to the promoter
making the highest bid The above sug-
