Buff Wins Crown.
 Then Buff went out to Milwaukee, , where there aren't any auctioneers 1 and it's only the hard punches that will take 8 title. He met Pal Moore. ! of Memphis, Chicago and other places, and. while Pal offered more : punches and of a better quality, ac- ; cording to some of the witnesses, he : couldn't find a. real hard one in his ! store. Buff came back with the | crown.
 : Not so long ago there was a new ktit1e placed in the market-one for f130 pounders, or junior Hghtweights. 1 Upon the scene came one Johnny Dundee. a, former Italian fish market was given his Scottish name in one eEhake of a hnan haddie's tail by
 Scotty" Monteith, a bonnie boxing L1nthusiast from the land of missiles. kand Johnny realized his ambition hafter 12 years by winning the new title in bout with George Chaney taualif1ed for foultng.
 Kflbane Took It Easy. Johnny KiIbane, grey-haired king i of the feathers. was least active of a4he lighter men. He engaged in an SAffair out in Cleveland several months fAgo with a boy named Danny F'nush Sand after some rounds of punch trad sfng and claims of fouling by Frush. Johnny offered his hardest right and ! retained uhe title.
 Benny Leonard, expert fist thrower i of the Hghtweights, got into some ta trouble at the outset of the year. when in a. bout with Ritchie Mitchell from out milwaukee way, he got care- 2 less or something in the second round ] and let Richie bid hig.h to the jaw with a right. He was very much ; taken back but realized that he was a business man and retained the title with a hard right in the sixth. The ! euctioneer told Richie that his bid | ding was getting weak and he'd better ,stop. Richie obeyed. Later Leonard ] engaged in 12 rounds of punching {! with a rugged Italian-Rocky Kansas by name-and won.
 Leonard has not been engaged in any other important deals, but he en- tertained Sailro Friedman of Chicago . in Philadelphia recently in this town with welter, Georgie Ward of New i Jersey.
 The middleweight king. Johnny
 Wilson, has had several bouts out /; in Cleveland he engaged BrG1an : Downey an awkward but hard puncher and after being Hoored sev- [ eral times was awarded ;ha bOu- on an alleged foul. whereuuOn loud hull i aboos were raised in the fistlc world. ! Downey claimed he hId wen I,v a ! Wilson claimed ne had |! been .fouled, and they decided 10 try again.
 The result was an uninteresiing { no-decision affair; ahe New Jersey ! boxing commission decided that ! Wilson's showing was very poor and :: they ordered his $37.OOO purse held ! up Downey went away claiming the title, but according to the laws of kbarter and trade it still was Will sons Johnny got his money only a Afew days ago, when the commission sredented, and, he is expected to meet E4arry Greb, the Pittsburgh pugflist f<vfth the piston rod punches, in Mad hson Square Garden some time in &Eebruary.
