BECKETT WILL DEFEND
BRITISH RING HONORS

Joe Beckett is still heavyweight
champion of England or that means
anything), Notwithstanding his de-
feat at the hands of Georges Carpen-
tier. According to rules. regulations
and everything like that, only an
Englishman can hold championship
in Johnny Bulls tight little isle.
Carpenter. though, should be glad
of those rules, etc. AS soon as a man
wins the heavyweight title In Eng
land he becomes a member Of the
Fromage de Brei Club. Beckett God
dard, Wells, Moir and Hague. In the
parlance of the ring, what fine lot
Of buns"
Anyway. Beckett announces that he
is ready and willing to defend his
crown-ag gainst all comers. His next
bout will take place in Royal Albert
Hall. on December 26 (Boxing Day..
Joe will box Dick Smith in the first Of
three tweDty-round contests to be
staged by Redmond Barry. Memphis
Pal Moore and Charley Ledoux, the
latter the French bantamweight
champion. furnish the wind-up. John
ny Griffith, the Akron (Ohio) welter-
weight. meets Francis Charles, an
other French champion in the other
twenty-round event.
The Washington times., 1919-12-09

applies to Joe Lynch, Kid Herman, Pal
Moore and Joe Burman. frankie Ma
son is nearer the correct limit than
any other now in the ring.
Same In All Classes
II is much the same in all classes.
Johnny Kilbane has not made the
limit of the featherweight class in
years. He usually enters the ring
Weighing 126 or 127 pounds.
Benny Leonard claims he'll defend
his lightweight title at 135 pounds,
but in most of his bouts since win
ming the crown he has gone into the
ring at catchweights, and wise ones
looking at him have figured him close
to 13S pounds.
Jack Britton. the.welter champion,
and Mike O'Dowd, the iddleweight
titleholder. can and do make the
weight limits of their respective
classes, but mighty few of their rivals
do.
. The weight of Leonard's class is
laughable. The country is filled with
alleged Hghtweights who tip the
beam around 140 or 142 pounds.
Johnny Dundee and Lew Tender
seem about the only lightweight. who
can make 133 pounds ringside.
Therefore, Jimmy, Wilde will have
to follow the. examples set by Jimmy
Barry and Johnny Couion, if he would
box in this country, and give away
many pounds. Apparently, we don't
make many big little men in America
