just a trif1e more so. In our opin-

Every possible comparison-past

Midget Faces Genaro in
Battle for FIyWeight
Crown.
BY HENRY M'LEMORE

NEW YORK, Dec. 26-Filled with
the spirit of Christmas, frankie
Genaro and Midget Wolgast will
meet in Madison Square Garden
tonight and clear up that annoying
question, Who is the flyweight
champion?"
Right now no one knows just who
is champion, for Genaro is recog-
nized as the head man in the class
by the National Boxing Association,
while Wolgast's claims for the title
are supported by the New York
boxing commission. TIE scrap is
billed for fifteen rounds.
If youth and speed and hitting
power mean anything in the ring
Wolgast will win, for the Midget
has all Of these and is the favorite.
Genaro, on the other hand, is well
up in years for a boxer and has
lost his old time qricknesS of foot.
He has, however, lost none of his
punching ability.
Getting one clean lick at the
Midget, however, is something else
again, for the little Philadelphia
is just about the fastest thing in
the ring today. Once underway
Wolgast is hard to hit.
When the two boys completed
training Thursday they each
stepped on the scales and we're be-
low the required 112 pounds limit.
