Dave Shade of California gets a
chance at the welterweight crown to-
night when he meets Champion Jack
Britton at Madison Square Garden,
New York.
Britton and Shade fought a draw
at Portland. Oregon, in July last year.
and since that time Leo p. Flynn has
taken Shade in charge and Flynn pre-
diets that he will at last realize his
life long ambition, to manage a
champion.
Here's a little information on the
two men who meet tonight in one
OF the most popular championship
bouts arranged in many years:
Jack Britton, who holds the welter-
weight title, was born at Clinton.
New York, October IA. 1885. His
given name is William J. Breslin.
His nationality Is Irish American.
Britton has been fighting Is years.
He started his pugilistic career In
1904 with a knockout.
Britton came into national promi-
nence as fighter in 1912. when he
met some of the best men in the
country in his class.
Britton has had the unique expert
ence Of losing his title to Ted Lewis
on a decision and winning II back
two years later from the same fight
cr via the knockout route.
Fistic experts regard Britton as the
marvel OF the, ring. His winning
back Of the title after losing it to
Lewis, came after he had been pro-
nounced through because OF Illness
which had apparently undermined his
health.
Britton is the Oldest champion. He
will be 81 his next birthday. At that
age most fighters are through Brit
ton is champion and going as well as
ever.
Britton has dangerous punch. but
has never been known as a knocker-
out. He is very clever and is con-
tent to win on points, rather than
sacrifice his hands in always at
tempting a knockout.
If Britton is able to hold off Dave
Shade and retain his title bout
with Benny Leonard is almost GER
tainty within the next TX months.
SHADE
Dave Shade, who will meet Jack
Britton in New York tonight for the
welterweight title, comes from
fighting family.
There are three Shades in the fis-
tic game, and all Of them are cham
pionship contenders. They hail from

willing scholars and followed instruc-
tions to the best of their ability. Af-

were started on a jauut around the
field covering the cinder track in a
dog trot." The running candidates
ranged from the "midgets" TO the
seniors The little fellows take to
the track like veterans and while not
as speedy as the older boys they
showed the value of their athletic
training by ending the afternoon
without displaying trace Of that
tired feeling and breathing normal.
The boys work well under the
coaching Of Helnderich and the result
of his work is shown in the number
Of fast track men developed in the

that instead of the goal after the
touchdown, the scoring team. be al

in crimmage formation. the scoring
team would have the option Of scor-
ing the additional point by either a
run, forward pass or a place kick.
If foul was committed by the de-
fensive team, the one point score
could be allowed. If the foul was
committed by the offensive team it
would forfeit it's chance to make the
play and the ball would be taken
to the center of the field for a new
kickoff. The coaches also urged that
the present Interpretation against

rated as a rule and that the rules
committee should consider increas-
ing the present penalty of Is yards.
They also declared in favor of

was agreed that Herman simply had
an off night.
Joe Lynch then came to the front
and took the title from Herman.
Shortly afterward Moore met the
new champion at Louisville and gave
Lynch boxing lesson. Moores su-
periority was so apparent that he
began to receive serious considera-
ton as a contender for the title.
In the meantime Johnny Buff took
the honors from Joe Lynch. Then
came no-decision bout at Milwau-
kee between Moore and Buff. For
10 rounds Moore threw a million
boxing gloves at Buff Even Buff
admitted he had been badly out
pointed.
Moore is certainly entitled to
bout with Buff for the title. Per-
haps the Milwaukee bout caused Buff
to decide on a trip abroad.
Moore holds the unusual title of

Pal Moore occupies a unique posi-
tion in pugilistic circles.
Moore is a legitimate bantam. lie
has been fighting for nine years.
During that time he has outpointed
four holders Of the bantam title,
some of them decisively yet he has
never worn the crown.
The reason, of course, lies in the
fact that Moore met the champs in
no decision bouts. In each case he
won the unanimous verdict Of the
newspaper men. Unfortunately for
Pal. the title does not go with such
decisions.
When Kid williams hell the title
Moore outpointed Williams in most
decisive manner, If you are willing
to accept the verdict OF the news
paper men who sat at the ring side.
That battle was regarded as a N ere
flash in the pan by most Of The
fistic experts.
Then the title passed to Pete Her
man. In a no decision affair. after
Herman had won the title. Moore
clearly outpointed the champion.
Once more Moore received very
little credit for the performance. It
