By JACK XEIOCH.

Ye sporting scribe and ye sporting fan may rant and rave to his heart s content in praise of veterans who are still starring in various branches of sport.
 Such wonder men as Ty Cobb, Wal ter Johnson, Frank Kramer, Stan Zbyszko and Al De Gro deserve oodles of praise. And they get it.
 But to the notion of this writer the peer of all the veterans today is none other than our brilb ant welterweight champion, William J. Breshn, better know to all of us as Jack Britton.
 For 19 years Jack Britton has been jousting in the squared circle. He has seen his 36th birthday pass along and is we'll on the road toward his 37th. Yet to look at him today one might well discount his age by five or six years and to see him in ring to'gs, working diligently for the coming de- fense of his title at aIadison Square Garden January 31 against young Dave Shade, is to marvel at the man ner of the man.
 Britton in Fine Shape.
 Jack is as clean-1inbed and finely conditioned in appearance today as many Q boxer fully ten years his ju- nior. He isn't carrying fatty tissue aroud his waistline. He is as ninble on his feet as a two-year-old colt and his speed and accuracy in propelling his gloves, the tools of his trade, are inspiring.
 When it is rememb bered that Jack
The Bridgeport times and evening farmer., 1922-01-17

Britton has been a. star in the strenu-
 ous game of give and take for nearly
 a decade it is difficult to see where
 any of the other veterans can claim anything on him in the way of stand ing off the ravages of time. Boxing demands more physical endurance
 than most sports. The best argum ent inslbstantiation of thds is the fact that in nearly all other lines of sport
 the player is through before he | reaches the age of 30. Baseball is the one notable exception, and baseball cannot be compared to boxing for the
 claims it makes on the players phy- sique.
 Had Jack Britton ben an indiffer- ent boxer, prone to satisfy himself with a few fights year, the claims
 this writer makes for him would not be worth while. But like the aggreS- sive fellow he is in the ring, Britton has fought hundreds of battles and he is one champion who will not turn down an opponent who wants action. Says Britton: "As welterweig ght champion today I am willing to de- fend my title against all corners. I told MT. Tex Rickard so just a few
 days ago and asked him to get me the
 man he considered the best welter- weight in the world outside of my
 self. He picked Dave Shade, and he
 and I will have it out in the Garden soon. I feel fine. I am in good con-
 dition and I am confident that will
 be able to defeat Shade when we meet"

 Linked with the news that Dev1in will not be engaged is the report that Jack Coffey. Hart ford manager, will be his SIC cessor. Just how Coffey can hold both jobs is a puzzle.
 It isn't likely that Jim Clarkin will stand for him holding two jobs- Coffey is a graduate Of Fordham and coached the Ma room nine in 1909.
