title to Battling Nelson.
There's 90-day return clause

This will be the first inter-

HOUSTON, Tex, Dec. Q
(AP).-Joe Brown puts his
lightweight title on the line
for the eighth time tonight
against Dave Charnley, the
British Empire titlist who is
pretty sure he'll take it.
The aging Brown, who al
ready has gathered about
100000 in three years of de-
Tending the title, hopes to tie
Benny Leonard's record for
warding off challengers. Leon
ard did it eight times and re-
tired undefeated in 1925.
The fight will be televised
nationally (WMAL-7 at 10
pm. in Washington.
Hopes to Set Precedent
Charnley would like to be-
come the first BritiSher to hold
the title since Freddie Welsh
did so AZ years ago, and also
the first southpaw to become
lightweight champion.
Southpaws have been a little
painful to Brown. He almost
lost his title to a lefthander-
Kenny Lane - in this same
Sam Houston Coliseum ring
last year.
Charnley, who's built like a
heavyweight from the waist
up-he has a 16l2-inch neck,
comes here with the tag of
"the midget Marciano." 1t was
given to him in England, where
the Dartford, Kent, ex-boiler-
maker won the British Empire
championship by knocking out
Willie Towel. He became the
No. 3 contender for Browns
throne.
Brown Favored
Brown, the little Baton
Rouge, La, Negro, has had al
most three times as many fights
as the 24-year-old Charnley-
who is 10 years Browns Junior.
But Charnley has one distinc-
ton Joe can't claim-he never
has been knocked off his feet
in 40 battles.
