Jimmy WILDE WINS

Worlds FIyweight Champion
Does Fine Work Against
Frank Mason.

Referee of the Wilde-Mason Bout.

TOLEDO, Ohio, March 13.-When 1t
is said that Jimmy Wilde. Britain's
last remaining ring champion, is the
mechanical genius of the prize ring
the whole story OF last nights battle
with Frankie Mason. Americas best,
is told in a few words Jimmy fin-
ished out in front with the hero from
Fort Wayne after twelve of the best
rounds that anybody has seen in a
long time. The margin was not a
wide one, for Mason put up at times n
great battle and Wilde was put to the
limit of his great genius to finish a
trihe in front
Rules OF the Toledo boxing commits

the referee and none was rendered.

Mason was too much on the defen-
sive in almost every one OF the twelve
rounds but the fifth to get anything
but a lot of credit for a great show.
ing against a man who Is generally
regarded as the worlds best.
Longer Bout Necessary.
The fight was one Of the greatest
battles ever seen between midgets in
any land, and proves that a longer
fight between them will be necessary
before a really decisive result can be
reached. To many of the spectators
it looked as IL Mason might have been
finished to a turn within four or fve
rounds more.
Mason had a little shade in the
earlier stages of the contest. but tho
powerful little steamroller from
Wales kept whaling away with such
effect in the latter stages that he
nulliied all of this, and in the

bad way through a few well-directed
shots to the short ribs. One of these
especially had Frank going back
wards, and as he sailed along the
ropes from one side OF the ring to
the other he appeared to be about to
60 down before the attack
1t was place for a game man to
make a tremendous stand, and Mason
was found not wanting under the
strain of this situation. He turned
once or twice and fought back with
viEor that he seemed not TO possess
and then took 1t again on the run.
Tried Every Little Trick.
Jimmy tried every little trick he
had in his big book to put over the
finishing touch. but Mason Topped
around in such a way that wilde
could do nothing.
From the first gong 1t was a great
battle. both men in the early stages
standing toe to toe and seeking away
at each other. But in a short time
the Wilde system OF battling showed
itself at its best He never gave an
inch unless he was showed away. and
kept forcing the affair in such a way
that, while he got a lot OF punche IS
shot into every section of his lighting
front, he had his man backing so that
the blows were of little effect.
