CENTRAL-TECH GAME IS
SET FOR WEDNESDAY

The Central.Tech game, which
has been postponed no less than

will clinch the baseball title, while
win for Tech will give that team
and Eastern a three-cornered. tie
with Central.

Billy laughed over the days
when he was Joe Walcott's dead
Hest rival. Smith and Walcott
fought six times and each time
it was a terrific struggle whether
it went four or twenty-five
rounds. They fought two draws,
Smith won once on a decision and
lost three times to Joe, once on
decision, once ON IOuIS anu
the last time when che broke his
arm on Walcott's head.
Smith was the one man that
Walcott always feared. 1t is said
that Billy made no bones about
biting a chunk out of Joe's head
any time the going got very
tough, and as for threats of vio-
lence, Walcott received them in
almost every clinch.
After one of the earlier fights
with Smith, which was noted for
its viciousness, NWalcott declared
that the top Of his head resembled
golf bali that had been topped
repeatedly by a duffer.
Smith was used to grueling
kattles, however, and Walcott
wasn't much tougher than others
of his time, including such ring
sters as Tommy Ryan, Owen Zeig-
Ter, Matty Matthews, Tommy
West and Kid Mccoy.
