Jack Britton To Write STARTING IN THE AcE-HERALD ON MARCH 30 Memoirs Of Ring Career

My Twenty Years in the Ring" by Jack Britton, former welterweight champion, which will appear in The Age-Herald beginning March 30, tells in breezy narrative style of the long experience of one of the greatest fighters in American boxing annals. Jack Britton be- gan his career when a lad of 15 years in Chicago, III. He was 35 years of age before he relin- quished his title to Mickey Walk CT, the present holder. in Madi- son Square Garden, New York, last November. No fighter has ever held his own over such long period of years, and only one or two boxers of prominence have kept to the ring beyond the age of 30.
 Starting with his champion ship bout with Walker in 1922, Britton treks back over the .ong vista Of his career. He tells of the sensational fight with Benny Leonard, and the much disputed foul which gave him the title; of his mills with Ted Lewis, Char ley White, Mike O'Dowd and Packey Mcfarland. He gives the reader a peek behind the scenes, telling what goes on before and after a big bout, how a fighter feels when he steps into the glare of the arc lamps, tricks of

system, the Barons seemed ready to hit like a million, when, they landed on Toronto's pitcher, Taylor, for six runs in the third inning. The team tatted around, and clouted out four hits during that frame, including a terrific triple down the center field groove by Brenner, and a two-base smack to the same spot by Walsh on the peAt ball pitched. They were drives that whistled as they went, and made up for the errors contrib uted by Brenner and Walsh in the pl ecedins frame.
 Brenner's blow came with two on base, while Walsh's drove in Brenner, walk and an error contributed to the scoring in that frame.
 Kelley's three-bagger down the groove and Miller's infield hit gave the Canadians one in the fourth, while Lefty Allen let two more across in the sixth. Allen walked two, and Onslow's two-bagger scored one of 'em. The other rode in on wild pitch.
 Joe Dunn's men, with the score tied, went out in the eighth and ap- parently sewed the matter up. Hits by Brenner and Walsh, a made-to- order fielder's choice, two thefts of bases and a costly error by Capes let in the final trio of runs made by the Barons. and left the score 9 to 6, Birmingham, at the end of the eighth.

 In the ninth. the Barons slept and the Leafs awoke. A walk, a hit bats man, two clean hits and double theft. which let in a run, gave To- ronto three. and tie with the Bar ons. Trefry ended the rally with a beautiful running, enchanted stab of Gonzales drive.
 The tenth inning saw the finish of the battle. With one out, Maisel walked, and both he and Wingo were safe on a fielder's choice on an at tempted double play Lavan hit and Maisel scored. Miller hit and Wingo and Lavan scored. That ended it for the day, as the Barons were harmless in their half.
 The day was too chilly for real baseball, although the skies were cloudless and the sun was shining up until the final inning or two. The pitchers were unable to cut aloose with anything much, not even con- trol. Ineffective pitching let in many runs which otherwise would not have been scored.
 Joe Dunn's men have shown up well against their clasSier Interna- tional league foes. Thursday they secured a tie with the Canadians, and Saturday their loss could not be counted as much, due to unfavorable conditions.
