BRITTON APPEARS
TO Be REAL LEADER

Since Jack Britton has laid claim
10 the welterweight title so long left
to be scrambled for. the class seems
TO have gained worthy ruler for the
drst time since il was vacated by
Jimmy Clabby. when he graduated
Into the middleweight ranks
Britton's most recent victory. in
which he gave Joe yelling OF Chicago
a beating at Buffalo, was called by
critics at the ringside, Britton's most
brilliant performance. They predict
ed for him the most successful sea-
son Of his career, and already Dan
Morgan has arranged number of
bouts for his champion.
Britton for a long time was a
stumbling block in the path Of aspir-
ing lightweights and when he an
uounced some time ago he had step
ped into the welterweight class. there
was a revival OF interest in the 1872
FOUNDERS Immediately opponents
we're dug up for him. Ted Lewis.
The British whirlwind, is the only
boxer who has defeated Britton in
that time. but Britton promises to
wipe out that stain II he is given a
chance his winter. Lewis twice won
irom Britton on points last winter.
N, Lewis. undoubtedly. is the only
boyer Of any reputation in the welter
claks who has a chance with Britton,
unless one admits that Willie Richie
means TO try a comeback. Out West
they have a young Mexican. Jack
Torres. who has proved a great fight
er, but he hasn't shown the fighting
heart and until he does there is little
prospect that he will get a chance.
With Britton riding at the head of
the welters. the winter promises TO
see some action in the class so long
left dead. and Il may be that some
of the heavy lightweights, who have
been masquerading under false colors
for long time. will come out for
bouts with Jack.

American Navy is a mans

with the sweet, fruity juice forced
through the entire plug.
