round contest that did not carry a
decision.
VIII Settle Dispute.
There was n dispute az TO the
/ result, tho home paper fayoring
| Walker and New York writer's lean
| ing to Britton as the winner. II
/ was splendid bout and efforts were
made to rematch them. but without
result until recently when Britton
/ consented to meet the Jersey scrap
| per in a championship match. There
! will be a decision this time and
there can be no argument over the
outcome.
II took considerable money 10 lure
Jack into this match, He realizes
| that Walker is the best OF his pros
/ pective opponents. He is clever. fast
and n hard puncher. He isn't as
crafty as Britton, who depends up
on his generalship and knowledge
of the game. which makes him one
of the best defensive fighters we
have, Britton has been stnlling
along through n lot of matches,
much as he did in Oklahoma City
when he went TO n draw, with Ray
Long. That's often done by men
who have been in the game as long
Us he has. But in the Walker en-
Ragement he will have to show at
his best.
Britton has had so many fights
that It would be hard to cnumerate
them. He has met everyone at his
weight and has been champion
twice. He has outlasted Il lot OF
men who started In the game long
after he did. The onl. handicap
Walker will have Is in weight. II
is not easy for him 20 make the
welterweight limit ana BrittOn has
Insisted on him doing so. walker
insists, however, that training down
TO the required poundage Will not
weaken his chances.
The welterweight IL not the only
champion to defend his title on this
weeks boxing program which is tho
! best that has been offered to fol-
| lowers of the sport In America this

I should happen to land n wild swing
with sufficient force to end it.
