CHAMPION BUFF RISKS TITLE

Johnny Buff holder of the fly
weight and bantam titles. is one of
the few boxing champions willing to
take a cha nce.
Buff won the bantam title on Sept.
90 at the Madison Square Garden
from Pete Herman. The bout went
the limit. 10 rounds, Buff being award
ed the decision.
With two championships to his Gre
dit, Buff would have been entitled to
rest on his laurels, and gather n a lot
of soft money Most cham IONS would
have handled the, situation in that
manner
Buff, however, soon proved himself
a somewhat different titleholder. In
stead of meeting cot ~ third rateIs
in no decision bouts, Buff defended
his title within six weeks after he
won IT,
Jack Sharkey was picked as logi-
cal contender, one cf the bantanis be-
lieved to have real chance. Those
who had contended that Buff was a
fluke champion. We're compelled 20 re-
tract their cruel words. Sharkey was
decisively outpOinte1.
Within a month from the Sharkey
bout, Buff is taking on another real
contender. Pal Moore. a mora formid-
able opponent than Shar,ev. He is
scheduled to meet Moore at Milwau-
kee tonight in 10-round bout.
Il is refreshing TO see champion
of the Bnfr type. There really should
be some rule in boxing. whereby q
champion would he compelled to de-
fend his title ct least once every six
months. Pcrhars every three months
might be. q 81, Grt enough time TO al
low between championship bouts.

Seaman said he had been three

east on Sandals Arctic coast, and
during his journey had received no

1918, when he first heard the United
States had entered the war. Seaman
was formerly member of the then

Soon after SeaiEan started for
Nome the small schooner on which
he was journeying was wrecked In

is lower. "A ''parka" cape being sold
