Up In Milwaukee, where boxing
| has flourished for many years. be-
| cause II Is properly conducted under
| commission government and where
many good mlttmen have been de-
ycloped, they have young bantam

| llove Will some day become worlds
| champion, His name Is joey san
ger. lie has been in the game about
| four years and may not be quite
ready for the championship conflict,
| but ne IL going to get the chance
| this week when he meets Joe Lynch
| for 10 rounds in his home city,
Lynch. busiest of the eight reign
| ing worlds champions OF pugilism,
never lodges foe and when the
| call came from Milwaukee pro-
J motor he quickly consented to meet
| Sanger. Lynch has so fully estab-
| lished his right to be at the top Of
| his division that nc one Is willing
to even suggest that any fighter at
| tiS pounds can beat HIM
Has Whipped Then All.
Lynch whipped Pete Herman,
| Johnny Buff. Joe Burman. Pal
Moore and ali the rest OF tho top
| notcher6. He can punch pretty good
| for q little fellow and his ring gem
eraIship and boxing skin will carry
him through for "a long time yet II
he remains away from the primrose
path and pays strict attention to
business.
| Sanger IL not yet championship
| possibility. lie has been boxing long
enough to have a thorough knowl-
edge OF the game. but he hasn't the
experience or the punch to put him
on top. This will be n no-decision
affair. thus the only chance for
Lynch to lose his crown Is by a
knockout. Sanger isn't hard
puncher ana the crafty Lynch like
ly could avoid taking the count even
though Sanger had the power to put
him away II no could land.
Stepping Too Fast.
Floyd johnson, who Is being
doomed as n candidate for the
crown worn by Jack Dempsey, Is
booked with Bill Brennan In New
York this week. but an eleventh
hour postponement of the bout is
likely. according to advioes from
New York.
This may be due to the fact tina.
tho handlers of Johnson have been
told not to rush him too fast and
they believe putting him against the
veteran Brennan at this time would
he hurrying him headlong toward
tho ultimate goal. Johnson was n
pupil of Dempsey and came to the
front by leaps and bounds, Not a
great deal was said of him until he
knocked out Bob Martin, but that
, victory gave him very prominent
place In the heavyweight ranks.
Johnson is hard puncher and IL
clever. Veterans of the ring sport
who have seen the rise and fall OF
= every champion since the palmy
} days Of that great gladiator. John L.
Sullivan. freely predict that John
son will, II properly handled, be the
next champion. But In Brennan he
would meet one OF the toughest In
tho business.
Brennan Tough Zoe.
u will be recalled that Brennan
/. went IL torrid rounds with Demp-
sey last winter In New York and put
8 up such a splendid battle that for a
Z time Il looked IA though he had q
' chance 10 win. Such fighter is toe
= tough, too experienced and too hard
z a puncher for beginner like John
$ son. unless the st. Paul product Is
the greatest prospect since Dempsey
S entered the game.
