NEW BRITAIN DA b \ILY HERALD, WEDNESDAY, NOVEMBER 1, 1922, m JACK BRITTON MAY HAVE TO STEP LIVELY TO HOLD WELTERWEIGHT' TITLE AGAINST MICKEY WALKER TONIGHT — MICHIGAN ELEVEN IS ONLY MAJOR COLLEGE WHICH HAS NOT BEEN SCORED ON SO FAR THIS SEASON —'NEW BRITAIN TEAM MAY PLAY AT MERIDEN ON NOVEMBER 12 HIS WELTER TITLE Yeteran Stacks Up Against an Ag- gressive Youth in Mickey Walker New York, Nov. 1,~—~Local hoxing followars are promised a remarkable mpectacle tonight at Madison Square Garden — the spectacle of the ring sport's oldest active exponent defend- ing a world's champlonship title. Jack Britton, veteran of over (70 battles in a career extending over 18 years, will defend his world's welterweight title against Mickey Walker, Eliza- beth, N. J., pretender to the cham- plonship. The men are scheduled for 15 rounds. The contest will be fought at the recognized welterweight limit of 147 pounds at 2 o'clock this after- noon, A decision in Walker's favor, or a victory by a knockout or on a foul for the Elizabeth boxer, will au- tomatically change ownership of the title. Britten and Walker have clashed béfore. In a meeting last year in New Jersey the pair boxed 12 rounds without an officlal decision. The ma- Jority of newspaper decisions follow- ing this battle were in Walker's favor, a condition which encouragad Walker to camp on the trail of Britton for a title bout to a decision. In their last meéting Britton floored his rival in the first round but the contender rallied strongly théreafter and accumulated enough peints to appear entitled to ‘the unofficial decision. Britton Is Favorie Tn tonight's battle, Britton will en- iter the ring the favorite. The cham- ‘pion is older than his prospective rival it is true, but, contrary to the general ‘rule, Britton’s boxing abllity does not appear to have been affected by the dvancing years. In his remarkable string of battles since taking up the ssport, Britton has developed n won- derful store of boxing knowledge un- til he is today regarded as one of the .cleverest and most effective defensive ‘boxers in the ring, a cool ring gen- leral, possessing flashing speed of the hands and feet, unerring accuracy as & punchér, and with power enough to ‘command respect for his blows. These _qualifications are responsible tor the “conviction of Britton's admirers that ‘he will retain his championship title against Walker. ‘Walker Is Dangerous Walker is accepted as a dangerous ,contender for the title. He has the ‘natural strength of youth, good phy- _slcal development, and is a shifty “béxer with a dangerous punching .pdwer. The Elizabeth boxer has the . ohampionship incentive to spur him jon when he entérs the ring against S Britton. This is expeeted to induce The “challenger lacks nothing in confidznce, ~ despite Britton’s admitted ekill as a ‘boxér and the champion’s ring gen- Walker is confident that his “youth, strength and boxing ability will Overceme the Britton's advantages in Both boxers are report- ed in tip-top shape, down to the re- ‘quired weight and ready for the fray.

R —— e — STORY IS DENIED Says President Stoneham Manager McGraw Has Not Given - Players Permission to Join New Fraternity. New York, Nov. 1.—If Ray Cannon, the Milwaukee attorney who i form- ing the new Baseball Players' Frater- nity, said that John J. McGraw had given his players permission to join the organization he 1s guilty of a falsehood, Charles A. Stoneham, pres- ident of the Glants, asserted yester- day, Mr. McGraw is not in sympathy with organization of the players, de- clared Mr. Stoneham, and Jim Tier- ney, the club secretary, backed up the statement. The manager was not present. Reports from the west that 21 of the Glants had joined the new organ- ization with the consent of their lead- er were the cause of the emphatic statement by Mr; Stoneham. “The men may have joined, but it was not with the approval of Mec- Graw,” said ‘Mr, Stoneham. “He thinks, as T do, that the players, guarded as they are by Commissioner Land¥s, need no organization in order to get a square deal from the owners. If Mr. Cannon, the lawyer who is advising the meh, said McGraw has approved the scheme he isn't telling the truth.” The Chicago story had it that 136 of the 175 players in the National league are now enrolled in the frater- nity. Only the Pittsburgh and Chi- cago clubs are unrepresented. No ef- fort has been made to get members among the American league clubs, it was sald.
