EW YORK, March 17.—Added to the glories of St. Patrick’s day in N _this city, a son oi Erin—by ancestry—will tonight battle for the Y. .middlewcight title at Madison Square Garden. Mike O'Dowd of St. Paul:is the lad, and his opponent, of course, is the champion, Johnny Wilson. O'Dowd, being Irish, believes that St. Patrick’s day will enable him., to-do that which no other middleweight, save the late Stanley Ketchel, ever has accomplished—win back a lost title from his con- ! queror. But the title holder has more than one claim to greatness. First of all, he is the champion; secondly, he is an Italian, who selected an THE EVENING STAR, WASHINGTON. o Doty THURSDAY, MARCH 17, 1921.

T ey say that none other than the late ident of the United States| was champion’s inspiration in se- lectipg & good Yankee name. It brought him luck. Johnny Wilson was pretty much of an unknown when he stepped into the ring in Boston and won a decision over the champion, Mike O'Dowd. Neither man hurt the ‘other very much, but there was no question that the referee decided cor- rectly on the merits of the bout, al- though O'Dowd himself and so:.e of his friends say that the decision was unfair. Called “Cheene-C! Wilson has done little fighting since he won the title. He became ill and spent months up in Boston in care of ‘a physician; at least so his manager says. Before that he fought Soldier Bartfield, the willing mixer, over in New Jersey and was lucky to hold the old war horse even. It was then that he gained for himself the title of the “Cheese-champ.” O'Dowd, sad over the loss of his title, howled week after week for a match, with no reply coming from Wilson. Then six weeks ago Wilson went out to Kenosha and put away Navy Rostan in jig time. Navy is a third rater, but rugged and able to take punishment. Western critics at once reversed their opinions about Wilson. His wallop, they said, was a wicked one and in every way he had all the looks of a real champion. O'Dowd Disappears. Wilson and his manager, Marty Killelea felt so good over that scrap that they at once set sail for O'Dowd. bidding him come forth if he wanted to win a title. But O'Dowd kept strangely silent for one who had been 80 eager for a return match against the man who had taken his title from him. Evidently all desire for & meeting with Wilson had departed from his system. . Wilson t on calling and O'Dowd continued silent. Then suddenly Tex Rickard pulled a surprising master- stroke. He hooked up the two fight- ers for the important March 17 date date which originally had been awarded to Dempsey and Willard. then to Leonard and Britton, then to Rocky Kansas and Leonard, then to Willie Jackson and Kansas. How Bout Sizes Up. Mike O'Dowd will face Wilson with ferocious intention to even matters with Boston Italian, It will be up to him to force the fighting, since Wilson is the champion and may, if he wishes, fight a defensive battle. O'Dowd would do the forcing any- way, for he is a real fighter. has never reputation as a knocker-out, however. Most of his battles have been won through his whirlwind attack. His blows are not of the sleep-producing variety, but he lands punch after . Qpunch with lightning rapidity. Wilson, many belfeve, has Mike's number. o Blind Boy to Wrestle | In A. A, U.

Fight fans anticipate a bout filled Wwith action when Ping Bodie of Philadelphia and Willie Grass of York take the ring tonight in the main match of the program to be offered by the Supply Company., 1st Mary: land Infantry. in the armory at Si ver Spring Md. These light-feather- weights are scheduled to xo fei rounds to a decision, but both are hard hitters and a knockout would not surprise. Pat O'Connor will be the third man in the squared circle. Four other bouts of six rounds each and a battle royal will be held. Eddie Blond and Harry Gaylor, two speedy lightweights, have been matched. Tippy O'Donnell and Kid Casey are to battle at 120 pounds and Joe Blackburn and Turk Smith at 135 pounds. In a stake match with the entire purse going to the winner, Young Thomas will be opposed by Sailor Boswell. These scrappers are 122 pounders.

The first bout will get under way at 8 o'clock.
