When a boxer battles his way to the
top in England, he is officially pro-
claimed champion and given a belt
presented by Lord Lonsdale. He must
hold himself in readiness to defend
his title and belt within any reason
able time against any worthy chal-
lenger. and he can't turn down chal-
lengers, either, telling them to go
get a reputation" The club takes
care of that. Fight. or get out" is
whispered into the champions ear.
He fights.
Britishers support the club because
they realize that its action has done
much to lift the sport in the public
estimation. Accordingly. they will
support this action taken against

certain ingratitude in passing up the

foreign land.
It is interesting to consider how
such a situation would stir up trou-

Navy and Civilians Boxing Board

years, to go farther back? And don't
