change their shape and size in an
instant" replied wise Lady Love,

queer habits. Another is to bolt,

costing only the nutritious portion.

melting the negroes to revolt against

WORLDS WELTER CHAMP TONIGHT
WILL TAKE CHANCE ON TITLE AS
HE MEETS CALIFORNIA CONTENDER Err
BY HENRY L. FARRELL
Omitted Press Staff CORRESPONDENT

NEW YORK, Sept. 21.-For the
first time in three years that
he has been the worlds weltcr-
weight champion, Mickey Walker
will take Il chance on his title to-
night when he meets Dave Shade,
the California challenger, in the
Yankee stadium.
Ever since Walker won the title
from Jack Britton, Shade has been
right behind him telling the world
that Walker was no champion and
he would prove it if he got the
chance. However, Jack Bulgcr, the
late manager of Walker, aud Leo
Flynn, Shade S manager, had a fall
ing out and Walker said he never
would engage in any fight in which
Flynn would share part of the
purse.
When Jack Kcarns took over
Walker 3 management he went right
after the Shade bout rs it was the
only big shot in sight and the bout
tonight is the result.
Walker came down from an S to
) favorite to to today and il
is possible that even money Will
prevail when tho fighters enter the
ring. Reports Of several competent
critics, who saw the champion in
his training camp, resulted in the
same opinion that Walker has hurt
himself getting down to li7 pounds
and that he has not been working
well.
There is not much chance Of a
knockon, tonight unless Shade
elects TO make i slugging match of
IT, and in that ease either one Of
them IS apt TO 60. Shade can box
better than Walker and the cham
pi"n is in danger of being ontpoint-
cd If he wants to stand off and box
with the challenger, especially If
he is not in shape to last - rounds
at top speed.
