It he has the spirit of a real champion he will try to up matters with the Je vite before engaging with other boys in the di- vision. The proposed bout with Mandot in New Orleans next month will have little or no bearing on the championship situation. Mandot has been beaten a number of times and by boys who have easily fallen victims to Shugrue's prowess. Everybody Ducking Britton, Speaking of Jack Britton, the light- weight stars fight just about as shy of him as they did of Packy McFar- | land when that great boxer was cut- ting didoes in the division. Looking over RBritton's record one can hardly | hlame Manager Danny Morgan for | feeling €o bitter over the actions of | other lightweights in dodging Jack Here we have one of the few ol stars of pugilism in the lightweight i s and where do we get a chance to see him exhibit his wares? some second class club and with fellow who doesn’t class with Britton | although he may be outweighing him many pounc Tt was the same with McFarland. Packey found it so diffi- cult to get matches with his rival lightweights—and when he was a legitimate member of that division— that he had to take on revery Tom, Dick and Harry wherever opportunity oftered. McFarland was thus accused of picking easy marks, but it was a matter of necessity not of choice with Packey. None, of the lightweight stars wanted his game. For vears Pattling Nelson, now praised to the skies as the ‘“greatest’” of champions, dodged McFarland. He knew Packey, not by reputation alone, but as a member of his training camp, and no one realized better than Bat that Mc- Farland was his master. Then there was Ad Wolgast, who side-stepped every chance to box McFarland. No, T am wrong there, Ad did finally agree to bix Packey in Milwaukee, but the authorities stepped in and prevented it, if T remember cor- rectly. Although it took several years to induce Wolgnst to consent to take Packey on, he did at last agree to box his clever rival. But fortunately for Adolph, and equally unfortunately for Packey, the hout never came off, Britton would no doubt make suckers out of boys' like White flnfil Shugrue in ten round affairs. Not | that these.youngsters are not exceed- ingly promising material, but Jack appears to outclass them. Britton stopped White in eighteen rounds about a year ago. With the excep- tion of Ritchie and McFarland there is no one in the division who has ever succeeded in earning a verdict over him. Ritchie did it in fout rounds several years ago, but Britton was not at his best at the time and in a return bout it is a question if Willle could repeat. Britton also gave Leach Cross one of the worst beatings of his career a vear or two ago. Leach himself said it was the worst trimming he ever took, and he has boxed the best men in thé division in the last half dozen years. Another who fell vic- tim to Britton's superior boxing and punching is Young Milburn Saylor, who claims a knockout victory over Welsh and boasts of a long line of victims both at home and abroad. Most, if not all, of the present lightweight leaders would prove 'easy for Britton, although there seems to be small chance of Jack _getting on with any of them. Possibly when Pitchie arrives in the east something may be done for Britton as Willie has never played favorites. While un- usual cleverness and real fighting ability is generally the open sesame to matches it appears in Britton's case to be a barrier to greater things, His great skill and ring generalship would make him a legitimate favorite in a match with any lightwelght in the country—not excepting Freddy Welsh, the recognized world's cham- pion. he should Since it was announced in Port- land, Oregon paper that 1 had de- cided to take a white heavyweight with me when I leave for Australia next month, I have been bhesieged with letters and inquiries from friends and readers who want me to give them “some dope” on the latest aspirant for heavyweight honors. This indi- cates that the boxing fans of the country are still watching and waiting patiently for a white heavy who looks like the goods. From the tenor of the letters received I should say that the fans at large do not rely on Jess Wil- lard to any great extent as-: nearly every one of my correspondents have expressed the opinion that the big fellow will prove an easy victim for Johnson in Juarez next March. I haven’t the space this week to de- vote to my heavyweight discovery, but next week I will give my readers the information asked for. Mind vou, 1 am not touting this fellow as a ‘“com- ing champion,” but from what I have scen of him go far he looks good enough to devote some time and at- tention to and that's what I propose. One thing I feel confldent of is that he “weighs more above the shoulders™ than the average heavyweight of to- day. And that's something to start on. JAS. J. CORBETT.
