Billy Wri ADERS Champion Def ends Title Against Kansan in Fast. and Clever Glove Tilt Lux Takes Lead in Early Going, but Wright Comes Back and Earns Draw; Why Pick on Fans With Frank Mason? Other Sport Gossip pe BY LEO H. LASSEN Billy Wright, Coast welter king, still wears his crown to- day, but his throne got a big league rocking last night, when boxed Morrie Lux, the Kansas City miller, at the Crystal Morrie took the lead right off the reel and shaded in the first two rounds, but Wright came back and re up the going in the final sessions. it was a clever exhibition, with Lux doing the harder punching. During the first two rounds they took turns i each other, with Lux having the edge. Wright Tate the visitor miss a lot in the third round and did some countering which earned him the shade in this ses- The final round was Wright’s ‘boys hit up a fast clip. by a closed margin. Both Wright was cautious during the J} first couple of rounds, giving Lilx's hand a wide berth, but after had popped Billy flush on the with his starboard mit Billy found out he could weather the | storm, and then he took the aggres which earned him a draw Frankie Mason looked like an imi tation of Willie Meehan last night He fought in of the prelim! naries at the Dempsey-Willard fra cas.

One thing ts cer- tain and that is when Chet is in the ring there's a fight, but for some reason Seattle fans don’t give Chet @ square deal. Next Friday's card is now in the air. Dan Salt Pulls Weird One % Dan Salt, veteran promoter of many bouts, pulled a weird stunt at thé Crystal Pooi iast night. He an. pore |nounced that Neff and Shannon would box here next week and the fans hooted, Das asked for a stand ing vote of the fans on what boxers he should get for next week.

It's easier to ask the fans to leave their ballots at the box Office when tay Lad out. Here’s a Real Good Joke And now comes a letter to local baseball headquarters offering Seattle the right to purchase Joe Wilhoit from the Boston Americans. Can you beat it? Just a year ago Wilhoit was signed up for a trial with the local squad and he couldn't hit the Smith bullding with a barn door during the early weeks of the season, and he was let out to Wichita, in the West- ern league, where he busted world’s consecutive hitting record. He was sold to Boston, and now he is offered to Seattle again. Whether or not the local club will consider the offer has not been announced, but with our present outfield it doesn’t seem reasonable to believe that the local club will take any chances with the long-legged outfielder again.
