British Fiyweight Proves Himself One of Greatest Little Fighters the Game Has Ever Produced; Forced Milling From Start To Finish

RINGSIDE. TOLEDO, March 12.- Jimmy Wilde. the England and British lyweight boxing champion, proved his right to the title tonight by decisively outpointing Frankie Mason of Fort Wayne Indiana. the American aspir- ant to the worlds title.
 Throughout the battle the pluclSy BFitisher was the aggressor. He car ried the fight in all but one round, the fifth. when Mason braced himself and put the Englishman on the defensive. Two of the rounds were even, the fourth and tenth.
 The ring. which was 21 feet square. gave the little American plenty of room to jump away from the pressing Briton.
 Mason started to bleed from the mouth early in the battle. but he wore a smile of confidence, while the little Briton. from the time he entered the ring. seemed set and determined. Time after time Mason, when urged on by his enthusiasts. attempted to break through the Britisher's guard. but the plucky little Briton lodged, feinted shifted and retaIiated with a right and left. chasing the American about the ring.
