Englishnen Stick
 to Boxing Champion,
 Euen When Defeated
By JAMES J. CoRBETr

What a vast difference there is in the attitude toward beaten fighters in Great Britain and here in the U. S. Al Over here when a champion is de- throned he is in something akin to dis grace. The fistic devotees are prone to overlook what he might have done in the past--the greatness which he then achieved They think only of the fact that he was beaten. He's a loser and they are through with him. But in England it's vastly different. Bombardier Wells, Joe Beckett and Jimmie Wilde are well known idols. Wells is regarded as joke, according to the American standards. He has been knocked out so often that no one in the United States takes him serious ly. But in England they still think that he is great warrior and still chant his praises to the heavens. STILL IDOLIZE BECKETT | Joe Beckett was acclaimed a wonder of wonders prior to the time that | Georges Carpentier took him on. The l Frenchman knocked him out in 74 sec
 
 onds. Beckett never struck real blow in the fight-served merely as hu- man punching bag. If that happened /. in this country the folks would have l "razzed" Beckett to his grave. 1 But England continued to acclaim him great.
 Some time ago Beckett went against Frank Moran. a weather beaten Amer ican gladiator, who is called in this country the worst boxer that ever stepped into ring" Moran disposed of Beckett in two rounds and made I Beckett look as bad as had Carpentier
 The other day some English sports men were discussing a Dempsey Beck ett fight. Americans were surprised over this. One of them asked:
 Moran, who isn't in Dempsey's class l at all beat Beckett in two rounds Why, then, are you talking about Beck cit fighting Dempsey? Why not jMoran?"
 THE ANSWER
 The answer of the English sportsmer was typical of the attitude in England concerning its own fighters:
 What is Moran? He is not a cham. lpion. Beckett is champion of Englant I-our champion. Beckett is the mar who should fight Dempsey. because Beckett is the champion, isn't he. Moran is nothing"
 There you have it.
 England ignores the beatings whicf Beckett has suffered and recalls mere ly that he is the champion of Englant because no other Englishman has evel beaten him. Being champion in tn, English mind means that he is still national hero. Nothing can take ava, the glamour from Beckett until al English fighter whips him. When tha 'j happens they will still regard Beckett as hero in much the same way tha they continue to idolize the mucl beaten Bombardier Wells. American sportsmen might learn little something by studying the Eng l fish methods which accord to a beate, fighter certain glory instead of toss ing him into the scrap heap, as is tn custom over here.

|HANLON TO MEET
 "SAILOR" KENNEDY AT B. A. (. MONDAY
Jack Brady Meets Tommy McGinty In Eight-Rounder
 on Same Night

A doubleheader in the boxing line has been arranged for next Monday by the Athletic club, when Eddie Han lon, veteran ringman, will meet "Sailor" Kennedy, newcomer, in 10 rounds, and Jack Brady, the "Bessemer flash" meets Tommy McGinty in an eight rounder.
 In matching Hanlon and Kennedy, Birmingham Athletic club officials be- lieve that they have bout that will more than offset the unfortunate af- fair between Freddie Boorde and Young McGovern, when the latter seemed to refuse to stand up an fight, thus making a farce out of the match. Both Hanlon and Kennedy are ready and willing to fight and the match Monday should be a good one.
 Eddie Hanlon is attempting come back in boxing. While still compara- lively young man, Hanlon is, never theless, rather old to take up an active career in boxing. Yet he believes he can come back in great style and the sympathy and good will of the fans will more than likely be with him in his efforts.
 KENNEDY A NEWCOMER
 Kennedy has fought only once or twice in Birmingham. His last bout was with Battling Lucas of Atlanta, and the fact that Kennedy knocked Lucas through the ropes Is proof of the fact that he has the punch necessary to drop man. Lucas got draw with Kennedy, but the latter demonstrated that he has great abilities as fighter He is a newcomer in boxing and his bout with Hanlon will be one of his first important ones.
 It has often been said of Hanlon that he has a glass jaw" meaning that any healthy wallop on the chin or jaw i will drop him for the count. Sailor I Kennedy will probably test the trutf ] of this assertion when he meets Eddie Monday night and will, no doubt at I tempt to land a haymaker early in tn, l fight
 /, HANLEN'S GREAT WALLOP l On the other hand it is a known fac | that Hanlon packs a punch very simila 1 to the kick of a mule. He is one 0 Dixie's hardest hitting middleweights l at least he was in his best fighting days and it is said that he has los

 Championship Fight

Nsu, York January 31.-Tex Rick \ ard will promote the Dempsey -Carpen- fer bout for the heavyweight cham pionship of the world alone. He made this announcement late today after a conference with William A. Brady, at which he is alleged to have taken over the interests of both Brady and Charles B. Cohcrane of London, Eng land. who is seriously i'll.
 The necessary legal papers will De drawn up within the next few days and. with the signing of these, Rickard will remain as sole promoter of the international contest for the premier title of pugilism. Under the new agreement, he will become responsible for the entire amount of the pro moter's guarantee or forfeit, which totals $100.000.

July 2' and the site of the contest any DOT tion of the American continent or Cuba as may be named by Rickard not later than March l.
 Rickard said that, while Brady did not show any special authorization from Cochrane to the latters with drawal from the promotion of the bout. he accepted Brady's stateme ents that he represented Cochrane's inter- ests in this country and had a legal right to turn over the Englishmans one-third share in the bout along with his own Under the old contract Rickard, Brady and Cochrane each held a one-third interest in the con- tract and each was responsible for one third of the expenses involved and were each to receive one-third of such profits as might accrue from the pro- motion of the contest.
 COCHRANE SERIOUSLY ILL
 Cochrane has been seriously i'll at his home in London for some time, ane therefore unable to take part in the recent negotiations of the internationa contest with it's gigantic purse of $500, poo to be divided $300,000 to DempseS and $200,000 to Carpenter.
 Cochrane's condition was emphasized In a cable message received yesterday by Rickard from Evelyn Cochrane wife of the English promoter, whicf read:
 sHusband still not well enough tt Attend business Doctors strictly for bid Will>you confer Brady, who rep resents my husband
 Jack Kearns, manager of Dempsey who is in this city at present, stated that he knew of the negotiations ant was perfectly satisfied to continue tn contract under the sole promotion Rickard.
 Under the contract signed by tn boxers and promoters in this city las November, it is legally possible fo two of the promoters or any one them to take over the bout withou NInterference from the boxers, provide the articles of the contract are b oerved by the remaining interests he promotion.

TEX RICHARD EVERY
 INCH A SPORTSMAN

That Tex Rickard is every inch a sportsman was proven yesterday when he took over the interests of Brady and Cochrane, English promoters, in the Dempsey Carpenter match.
 A burden of guaranteeing two fight CTS $500,000 between them, as well as putting up $100,000 forfeit, is not to be taken too lightly. That's what Tex has taken on himself by assum- ing full responsibility for the cham> pionship match between the two great scrappers.
 When Brady and Cochrane showed a desire to withdraw from the affair Tex immediately undertook to promote the affair by himself If the proposed champi ionship fight goes through sportdom will have Tex Rickard, and Tex alone, to thank for it.

DON'T BLAME B. A. C.
 FOR POOR MATCH s

The Athletic club can't be blamed
 much for the disappointing match be- tween Freddie Boorde and Young Me-
 Govern last Wednesday. It was 10 fault of the match makers or club off, Ificials that the affair turned out .as it
 did.
 F When Young McGovern so plainly
 showed that he intended to run away from Boorde and to merely shadow
 box for 10 rounds, it was up to .,he referee to stop the match and either award the decision to the one who |seemed to be trying to make fight
 out of the affair or call it draw.
 As it was, the two boxers were al-
 lowed to continue and through no fault of Boordes, to put up a lniser- able exhibition of fighting, In the two previous meetings be- tween McGovern and Boorde. the two boys had staged some mighty good fighting, and it was to be expected ] that they would do so in their, last , bout. It was an unfortunate occur ance that the affair turned out As il ldid
