BRITAIN WAKES Up.

At last the British have come to
the conclusion that there is some
thing radically wrong with their
first class pugilists. After old
Mary Ann" Frank Moran. the
Pittsburgh punching bag. stopped
their fallen idol. Joe Beckett, the
Nottinghamshire gypsy. they chang
ed their minds twice.
They decided that Beckett is a
frost and they began to believe that
Georges Carpenter is not q super
man worth their offers Of 6 to 1
that he will whip Dempsey when
they meet next year. They chang
ed their minds Friday night in AL
bert hall, London, when. in the
second round of a bout scheduled
to 60 20, Beckett lay on the floor
in q trance and Beckett, ranked in
the second division of American
heavies, stood over him with a VIC
torious smile.
The fall of Beckett leaves only
one Britisher in the championship
spotlght-Jimmy Wilde. Jimmy is
regarded generally as the best mos
quito of the fyweights. but many
American ring devotees assert that
Joie>Lynch Of New York will stop
the Cackney midget il they ever
meet again. Joie's knockout OF
Jack Sharkey. who outpointed
Wilde in Milwaukee during Jim
my's recent visit to the United
States lends credence to Lynch's
boast.
The fact remains that the Brit
ish, aside from Wilde. are about
tho poorest producers Of pugs in
the high-rated nations, which
should be ranked: the United
States, France and Great Britain.
