BOXING

I New York had the nearest approach
to championship heavyweight bout
during the last winter when Jess VIII.
lard appeared at Madison Square Gar
den In a ten-round encounter with
Frank Moran, who was being talked
of as the logical opponent for the big
Westerner The result was so decis-
lively in favor Of Willard that Mo-
rams hopes were absolutely shattered.
During the year two champions.
Freddie Welsh and Johnny Kilbane,
defended their titles successfully in
long bouts, Welsh demonstrating his
superiority over Charley White of Chi
.cago, and Kilbane knocking out
George CLANCY. Aside from the. bat
ties between the leaders, however,
there were many contests Of merit
among those who are climbing the
rungs of the ladder
