WALKERFNDS
TEXAN HARD
Willis Leads Bout In
Seven Rounds OF
Ten at Frisco

SAN FRANCISCO, Feb. 23.-tP-
The fighting reputation OF Jack
Willis, Texas cowboy slugger, was
enhanced today as the result OF his
surprising showing in q ten round
bout with middleweight Champion
Mickey Walker here yesterday.
Walker won the decision. but had
as hard q fight on his hands as he
has experienced since he won the
title.
An obscure fighter aad tremendous
short ender, Willis rushed the cham
pion from rope TO rope in the third
and sixth rounds and in the seventh
round he had Walker so bewildercd
that the champion did not hear the
bell. Ringside critics gave the Texan
a slight margin at the end OF the
seventh round.
A terrific attack was launched by
the champion IN the eighth round
and Willis was groggy at the bell
from heavy rights and lefts TO the
face and mid-sect;on. In the ninth
Willis suffered severe body punish
ment and his momentary rally in the
lest round was nipped quickly By
Walker.
The title was not az stake Is Willis
weighed 1913 pounds and Walker 16l
Ia. Some $4,000 persons saw the
bout. and gross gate receipts were
estimated at $4,000.
