LONDON "HIT" AGAIN
Defeat of Wilde in Milwaukee Another
Shock t. Britishers.

London. Dec S.-With surprise, in
credulity and disappointed to the point
of alarm, London heard the news of
the DOWNFALL of their other fistic
idol. Jimmy Wilde. This. was doubly
hard coming so soon after the knock
out of Joe Beckett.
Still feeling that the little flyweight
champion represents the last word in
fighting machinery. Britishers were
inclined to attribute his defeat by
Jack .Sharkey in Milwaukee Satur-
day night to be the result of a de-
cision caused by anti-British senti-
ment.
After their fights here with the
champion, in which they claimed they
were given a bum decision, Pal Moore
and Joe Lynch said, wait till we get
him in America" Londoners think
that this decision was the first blow
taken by America in defense of her
bantams-
Commenting on the fight the Tele-
gram said:
''Sharkey is not in the same class
with Wilde. It is hard to believe that
he could even hold his own. We won
der if the decision was not Influenced
by feeling against Wilde"

Regarding his proposed fight with
Dempsey. the French champion said:
Il will meet Dempsey right away in
the place that offers me the most
money. 1t will be the hardest fight
ever had. 1t will not be like the
Willard Dempsey affair or my fight
with Beckett. 1t will cover a longer
route and am sure that I will not
expose myself recklessIy and allow
him to get across an easy knockout
