Aug. 22.—Welterweight Champion | Jack Britton will attempt to disprove the pugilistic axiom} that a good little man can’t beat a good big one when he} s into the ring here tonight for an eight-round bout with} ike O'Dowd, holder of the world’s middleweight title. | The fighters will divide evenly two-thirds of the gate,| and Britton, if he wins, will find further financial reward in a chance at a big purse offered in London for a bout with} Johnny Basham, British welter champion. Britton expected to enter the ring at about 148 pounds. O'Dowd was said to scale the middleweight limit. NEW YORK, August 22.—(United Press).—Tonight Jack Britton, dean of all the fighters, will take on his hardest assignment when he battles Mike O'Dowd, holder of the world’s middleweight title, in an eight-round New Jersey mill. Brftton, the welterweight champion, readily agreed to the match when it was proposed to him some time ago and agreed to let O'Dowd enter the ring weighing 158 pounds, | which is the middleweight limit. Experts believe Britton is, for the first time in his long, | successful career, taking a step that may lead him into defeat. It is pointed out that he is meeting a rugged, hard- hitting fighter who weighs many pounds more than Britton hi if and who may land the knockout punch that so many —higher prices and a lowering of quality is the popular topic of the shoe stores—why not? Raw calf skins are selling locally above 80c per pound but—months ago large orders were others have tried and failed w Britton, however, insists that he! vith. placed in anticipation of these higher prices ? and today we are offering like these Tughing fighters.

JACK KEARNS STILL PEEVED AT PECORD CHICAGO, Aug. 22.—-Jack Kearns, manager ¢ k Dempsey, claims to have lost $20,000 thr: the mix-up of the timer and referee at the Toledo match, July 4, when Jess Willard was relieved of his crown, Kearns says he had made a wager of $2,000 against $20,000 in Kansas City that Dempsey would stop Jess in the first round. Jack admits that he had merely made a bluff at first, feeling in his own heart that Dempsey would be liable to win in a round or two, and that after he had been called, he had to make good, and did so. He is sore for losing the bet, which rightfully belonged to him, for there is no doubt that there was a mix-up in the time, and that Demperey should have been declared the winner in the first session.
