" world. is not the only title
holder who has of late been Sinking
matches with top notehers of his
class. So engrossed has the fighting
public been in their wrath over the
stalling tactics of the lightweight king
that they have paid little attention to
existing conditions in the ranks of
other divisions. This is due somewhat
to the lack of publicity that other
lighting divisions. with the exception
of the heavyweight. have received.
But nevertheless the conditions in the
batamweight division, over which
Johnny Coulon at present reigns SUI
preme are almost as putrid as those
I'm the division In which Willie Ritohie
is holding sway dictatorially. The ef-
forts of topnotch bantams to persuade
Coulon to meet them In the ring have
all been futile. and even the promises
of flattering purses have also failed to
induce him to risk his title against
the foremost aspirants for the bantam-
weight crown.
Although he has practically been In
retirement for a long while. coulon
still clings to the title. though he has
not risked 1t in championship battle
for sometime. Now and then Johnny
comes out of his seelusion and battles
some unknown. but further than this
he will not venture. In these bouts
with second raters the bantamweight
king has failed dismally to display
any of the form that has characterized
his fighting in the past, and the opin-
ion has now rapidly gained ground
that he is no longer the great little
fighter he was in preceding years.
AT present the leading claimant for
Coulon's crown is Kid Williams of Bal
timore. who recently eliminated Campi
from the race by administering the
kayo to him in 12 rounds Williams is
now claiming the bantamweght cham
pionship through the failure OF Coulon
to defend II, but technically the Bal
timore battler has not the least claim
to it, as. Coulon has yet to so down
in defeat before a bantam. Several
years ago Williams met Coulon in a
10-round bout in New York, and al
though no decision was rendered. the
popular verdict was that Williams had
a shade the best of It. Since then
Williams has been persistently after
Coulon for championship tilt, but the
