The Waterbury Democrat., 1933-08-09

The betting is even money that BrculIIard will be enthroned as the new king of the 1s0-pound fighters the world over and if he accom- pllshes his aim he will be the thir- teenth standard bearer of the divi- sion since boxing became modern fzed under the Marquis of queens berry rules in the early '90's.
 Bob Fftzsimmons claimed the title by virtue of a knockout over Jack (tihe Nonpereil) Dempsey in 1891 and held 1t until 1897 when he resigned to join the heavyweight division. Tommy Ryan succeeded "Lanky Bob" to the throne in that year and stepped down in 1907, leaving the golden chair open to q dispute between Stanley Ketchel and Jack (Twin) Sullivan. Ketchel settled all doubt by knocking out Sullivan in 20 rounds.
 Subsequent champions follow: 1908, Billy Papke-Stanley Ketchel; 1s0s-10. Stanley Ketchel; 19l1-13. George Chip; 1s14-17. Al Mccoy; 1sl7.2o. Mike o'Dowd: 1s2i-2s. Johnny Wilson, 1o23-25. Harry 4EVVS l0<O-EVs AlkGA 1s2e-s2. Mickey Walker; 1882. Ben Jeby.
 4 Young Champ
 Wearing the purple robes of a boxing monarch would be nothing now for Brouiilard, who at the axe of 20, two years ago, was the youngest champion ever to win a title by defeating Young Jack Thompson for the welterweight crown. He lost the championship to Jackie Fields in Chicago on n decision as close as tho ono which marked Tony CanzonerPs passing of the 135-pound baubie to Barney Ross.
 BrouiIlard did not bother about seeking return bout for the 147- pound title as he was growing heavier rapidly and rather than sap his strength decided to reach out for the championship in the division higher up. His light with Jimmy McLarnin was his last bout as q weItcrweight. Every person who witnessed that contest in the Yankee Stadium a year ago will re- cd the worst beating McIarnin ever call 1t for years to come as 1t mark suffered in the ring. not excepting Mc1nrnin's defeat by a technical Knockout at the hands of Ray Mill Ter.
 The French Canadian southpaw followed that victory with triumphs over Horatio Villa, Sammy slaugh- ter and month ago soundly trounced Mickey Walker, former boss of the 1g0-pounders. Brouil- lard is emulating Walker by reach- ing out for the middlcweight cham- pionship as the latter at one time also held the weiterweight title.
 Jcby Not Worried
 Jeby is not worried about his southpaw rivals peculiar style as he has been practicing against 1t ever since he went into training for | the bout following his tune-up vic- | tory over Young Terry. The popu- lar East Side champion has used southpaw sparring- partners exclu- sivciy at his training quarters at Lake Swannanoa and while he has not knocked out or tried to stop his spar-matcs as has been the cnge with Brouiilard, Ben is satisfied with his fighting condition and is confident he will retain his crown by halting his Ieft-handed foe.
 Tim Mara and Al We'll are pre- pared to handle capacity crowd because tt is the first worlds ci:am- pionShip bout ever staged in ball park with the prices ranging from $1.15 for general admission to $3.50 tops for ringsidc. The ring will be erected between the pitch CTS box and home plate. and the entire upper stand will be thrown open to the general admission pat rons.
