Title Bout
Young Corbett Is Slight
Choice Over Champion
Jackie Fields.
By United Press

SAN FRANCISCO, Feb. 22.-
Five years OF fighting without a
defeat brought Young Corbett of
Fresno to the climax of his career
today when he faced a ten-round
bout with Jackie Fields for the
worlds welterweight championship.
The fight, at Seals stadium, will
start between $50 and p. m.
Pacific time).
Corbett met and decisioned Fields
in non-title fight three years ago.
The odds today were 5 to 4 or
the challenger. 1t was one of the
few times in west coast history that
a champion was on the short end
of odds.
Critics argued that Corbetts
difficult sOuthpaW style would give
Fields trouble; that a nose injured
in training would not help the
champion, and that Corbett has
shown great improvement over his
fighting ability of three years ago.
The champion exhibited more
punching power than ever before in
his final drills. He brimmed over
with confidence that his speed and
youth-he's three years younger than
27-year-old Corbett would carry
him to victory.
Fans were assured of a we'll
handled fight. mo foul and no
draw decision" ruled Lieutenant
Jack Kennedy, United States navy,

to use his own discretion in the
event of low blows.

Gorilla Takes 1t Easy and
Gives Rosy Boxing Lesson

Rosy kid Baker, the Hoosier
middleweight boxer who has felt
for some time he was entitled to
trot along with the elite Of his di-
vision, received the big chance in
the main go at Tomlinson hall Tues
day night and learned that mixing
with champions is not what it's
cracked up to be.
Rosey's best wasn't enough and
William Gorilla Jones Waltzed off
with the decision without extending
himself beyond the point of giving
demonstration of what it takes to
travel in fast company.
The Akron (OO Negro, trim and
fast, holder of the N. B. A. Arneri-
can 16O-pound crown, made no seri-
Gus effort to f1atten Baker and was
content to throw lot of gloves oc-
casionally and let it go at that.
Jones solved Bakers overland
weapons at the outset and seldom
was struck more than glancing
shot.
Both fighters were in good shape
and Baker was in distress only a
few times when Jones smothered
him with lefts and a flock of rights.
Some fans wanted to see Jones do
more leading, but this wasn't neces-
sary on account of the fact Baker
kept charging.
Weights were announced as Bak-
er 161 and Jones 161, making it non
title competition One fans COM
ment on the weight announcement
was 'Oh, YEAH"

Lewis appeared on the metro
politan scene about a year ago. At
that time jim Londos was the fair
haired Greek of wrestling. No one
could throw him. Or at least no one
did. Lewis demanded a match on
the strength of his record.
Because Londos was enticing large
crowds con two occasions he packed
the Garden the promoters ignored
the challenge. But Lewis had in
huential support and he knew the
angles
Londos allowed himself to be
driven right out of the village, caus-
ing many persons to believe that he
wanted no part Of the Stranger
which may or may not have been
the truth At any rate Lewis, having
been forced on the promoters, was
matched with Dick Shikat and won.
