Walker is expected to adopt a different style of fighting in meeting the Casper mauler a second time. He admits he made a mistake the last time but believes he can even up accounts. Harvey will go in the ring to fight if past performances are any criter- fon. Fans may rest assured of wit- nesing a smashing £0. In the semi-windup, Otto Wallace, Milwaukee lightweight, and Benny Strayer of Sioux City, will take the ring for 10 rounds.

BIG NIGHT IN ll of the fighters with the ex- a substantial majority and it is noted in the little red fight dictionary that Wallace's record is well sprinkled with knockout victories. Decisions over Sailor Friedman, Pinkey Mit- chell, Lew Tendler and Bobby Waugh also grace his record. Knockouts over many other high class boxers such as Bob Normandy, Tony Denis, Freddie Hill and Kid Mex stamp him as a puncher. The greats and the near greats all box Otto and whether they win or not they know they have been in a fight. Wallace's peculiar style of attack and his body punch. ing make it hard for the average lightweight to win over him. Tho Milwaukee Dutchman is a pleasing fellow and {s blessed with a Personality that gains him many/| friends. It is for this reason that Otto always boxes three or four times} in every town that he ever lit in. He may get beat one night but they are always glad to have him back the next show. This because Otto fights and fights hard from the first bell until the last and gives the public his very best. Tom Andrews, Milwaukee's famous fistic scribe pays Wallace a glowing tribute in his columns, saying: “Otto Wallace, while not a champion, fs a fighter of the first water. No pr moter or fan in the country can ever say he stalled or laid down. No mat- ter what the result of a fight is for Otte he always gives his best and fights till the last ditch and if there were more of our boxers who followed | out this example what a great game | boxing would be.” It BATTING HONORS Only Two Points Behind According to aver- front as the best run getter with 95 tallies. Besides his four baggers, Ruth‘s 127 hits include 25 doubles and eight triples, which gave him the lead In total bases of 243. There has been little change among the other leading batters during the past week. Eddie Collins, of Chicago, is lead- ing the sacrifice hitters with 29 and the base stealers with 25.
