JIMMY WILDE oUTPoINTED.
But He Gave Good Account of Himself
Against Jack Sharkey.

Chicago, Dec, S.--Jimmie Wilde the
British hyweight champion, although
outpointed Saturday night by Jack
Sharkey, New York bantamweight, is
regarded as a remarkable fighter by
newspaper boxing experts who saw the
Britishers first fight.
The little Welehman's superb block
ing, side stepping, accurate hitting and
gameness would be more plainly ap.
preciated under the right system of
scoring points, experts agreed, than by
the American ringside men who revel
in hard hitting and a rough and smash.
ing style.
Wilde did not box a defensive battle,
on the contrary, he did his share of
the leading and stood toe to toe and
slugged with his heavier opponent. But
be did not pack the punch that was ex.
pected Of him, although his right cross
was dangerous until the final bell.
