WALKER IS WOUNDED
IN TUNING-UP BOUT



LONDON. June 27-Mickey Walker,
American middleweight champion was
nursing bad cut over the eye today,
the result of furious mixup with
George West, a robust English mid.

in the training for his fight with
Tommy MilliSan of Scotland for the
middleweight championship of the
world.
The cut is an old one reopened, and

ardize the Americans chances in
Thursday nights bout.
The practice go between Walker
and West yesterday was a real treat
for several hundred spectators, being
Of a caliber not often seen even In
high-priced bouts. West had often
voiced his confidence of being able to
beat the New Jersey middlewe!ght
and when Walker started training
several weeks ago volunteered his
services as sparring partner. Despite
the protests Of Jack Kearns and Teddy
Hayes, manager and trainer, Walker
insisted on taking West into the
camp.
One of the training stunts being

HEAvIES A NOVELTY
FOR CHICAGO FANS


CHICAGO, June 27.-Jim Maloney's
bout with Bud German Thursday will
give Chicago it's first heavyweight
match Of any consequence since box
ing was legalized in Illinois.
Although there have been four
worlds championship fights here since
last Summer and a score of other
fight cards, big boys have been miss
ing. Most Of the ring excitement here
abouts has been centered around ban
tams and feathers, with an occasional
welterWeight encounter the nearest
approach to matches Of any weight"
While New York has developed or
acquired a hustling group of heavy
weights. Chicago has not produced
since the Safe legalized boxing a
single important candidatet for Gene
Tunney's title.
Because of this dearth of avoirdu-
pois, the Mahoney- bout, sup
ported by a card made up entirely of
heavyweights, has attracted more at.
tention than might otherwise have
been the case.
