Of WEIGHT
WaIker-McTigue Bout Next
Tuesday Good Example of
Risky Business

NEW YORK, Jan. Sit is a
unique thing to see a worlds wei
terweight champion in match
with a worlds light heavyweight
champion, yet with a weight diff
ference between the two title hold
ers of less than the thirteen pounds
Paul BerIenbach had over Larry
Estridge in Madison Square Garden
last Friday night.
Such, however, is likely to be the
case when Mickey Walker faces
Mike McTigue in the Newark
Armory next Tuesday.
The light heavyweight limit IL
ITS pounds and the welterweight
limit 145 pounds. thirty pounds less.
McTigue, however, although being
the worlds light heavyweight cham
pion. virtually is a middleweight
He is said to have scaled 1927
pounds when he knocked out Jimmy
King in Atlanta last week. His
friends say he will weigh less than
that next Tuesday.
Walker is a big welterweight. He
is at his best between lat and $50
pounds. He is not likely to weigh
much under $50 pounds when he
meets McTigue.
Should McTigue weigh 1862 pounds
and Walker get AS low as 147
there will be only fifteen pounds
difference between the welterweight
and middleweight classes.
But be the weight difference fiji
teen pounds or twelve pounds or
ten pounds. it is a tremendous adj
vantage for one title holder to give
away to another.
Smiling Mickey certainly has his
nerve with him to spot bold
Michael as much weight as he will
be giving away
Mickey certainly can not hold
Michael in very high esteem. Per
haps this knowledge may make Nc
Tigue mad enough to put up a
real fight.

CONNOLLY WINS
MILE RACE IN
RECORD TIME
Washington Runner Sets Mark
for Buffalo Armory in
Beating Higgins

NEW YORK, Jan. S.-James J.
Connolly, former Georgetowner and
intercollegiate mile champion, today
doomed as g. formidable opponent
for Paavo Nurmi, the famous Finn
who has the track world by the
ears. Connolly dashed off a fast
mile today in practice for the big
race next Tuesday in which NurTnl
will test his speed against Joie Ray,
Willie Ritola, Walter Higgins and
other world renowned stars.
Until New Year Day Connolly
was not considered very strongly
as a possible conQuerOr or Nurn11.
But on that day he smashed the
mile record for the armory at But
falo, n. Y, a record that had stood
for eighteen years, and his stock
went up suddenly.
Connolly won the specla4 mile
race Of the 109th Infantry games In
a minutes 10 seconds, beating
Walter Higgins. former lntercoAeg1'
ate two.mile champion. Higgins
led until within lap or the tape
when Connolly sprinted magnificent
ly and passed him.
Connolly ran we'll within himself
and experts noted that he could
have bettered his time considerably.
AS it was, his performance was
one of the few indoors OF the last
five years that got under the ago
mark.
He Is expected to do around AIS
on the Madison Square Garden
track, on which the big Information
al race will be run. Connolly has
been training faithfully for weeks
to give Nurmi a battle. He came
UP from Washington ooginE with
confidence. He has predicted that
Nurmi will be beaten by Joie Ray,
but it seems now that Connolly
himself must be considered al q
formidable opponent for the Finn.
