ZULU BATTLING
JIMMY WILDE FOR
WORLD TITLE
Flatbush Dreadnaught Determin
ed to Defend Stars and Stripes
That Drape Little Corner

London, Dec 1S.-With the stars
and stripes draped in his corner,
Young Zulu Kid, the little Flatbush
dreadnaught, today entered the ring
to battle Jimmy Wilde, British fly
weight champion in the first title bout
of the insect division.
Battle for Worlds Title.
Wilde has wiped out British Oppo-
sition and Zulu has practically clear
claim to the American nyweight title
SO today's 2O-round fight is for the
worlds championship.
London's leading sport celebrities
par2ded their funeral hats and pearl
grey spats to the weighing-in cere-
mony held at ten this morning in Hol-
born stadium ring, where the battle
takes place. Neither man trained with
the object of reducing as their normal
weight is within few pounds of the
mark, 1l2 pounds. Zulu's brief ses-
sion Of training was merely to put him
on edge for the scrap.
Calls on Newspaper "Boys."
The American challenger slipped in
to London last night from Brighton,
tho English coast resort. Escorted by
Velvet Joe Sarne, his modest manag-
er, and ALI Mansfield, the British ban.

tam, Zulu topped into taxi for a
round of formal calls on his neWspa-
per friends. .......
Later the party adjourned to gild-
ed hotel on the strand where they
locked their striped sweaters and the
ceremonial! water bucket in the safe
with their gold-headed canes before
hitting the hay for the night,
Little Zulu Happy Man.
Reappearing this morning little Zu
lu was happy and confident but mod
est in his predictions.
Il have never seen Wilde fight" he
said, so can only plan my side of
the scrap on what have been told of
him. | understand he is boxer and
a hitter which means that l will have
to keep in close all the way and force
him to fight, He has great reputa-
ton and some of my friends are
afraid will not be able to stand the
gaff.
Says He Will do His Best.
81 will do my best; that is all can
promise. But feel certain Wilde can
be beaten" ..... .. d.
Don Heinrich OFlaherty, the Chi
csc philologist, will lay aside his du-
ties as war correspondent to act rs
one of Zulu's advisers curing the fight.
Heinrich and Zulu were friends when
Zulu was campaigning in the middle
west and Zulu's first precaution was
to secure O'Flaherty's promise to be
in his corner ~
Wilde trained in his native Welsh
hills with routine bouts scattered
through the program.
Jimmy is abnormally tall for a fly
weight but of very slender build. IN.
lu is short and thick with forearm
like Jack DillOn's.
