A By Vincent Treanor. Je BRITTON fs taking the chance of his pugilistic lifetime to-night. He ts risking his welterweight championship in a 15-round bout with Benny Leonard at the new Velodrome, 226th Street and Broadway. He has all to lose and nothing to gain ex- cepting a lot of money which his percentage of the receipts will bring him no matter how the bout term- inates. Britton realizes what he is up against. If he must lose his title there 49 po more sensible way of doing it than in a bout with the lightweight champion, He will profit handsomely through the latter's drawing powers, whereas against the Mickey Walkers, Malones and Pinkey Mitchells of own class he would run the same of being licked and get compara- ively nothing for it, Money is the Dowadays. & But don't run away with the tdea @hat Britton is going down to certain 3 to-night. He may win. The jope gives him a chance and in that he can continue skinning rough other fights aguinst men of is own class and still be eligible for other crack at Leonard if Benny's cord remains intact after his all im- Pome bout with Lew Tendler on the “THE DOPE ON THE MEN. It’s a boxing adage that a good big can beat a good little man, and lle there will be no great disparity the weights of Britton and Leonard night, Jack can lay claim to being 16 good big man in this instance. In ‘© previous meetings, before Briton ‘as the welter titleholder, he held about even in decisionless its. Jack, a little older, is no worse as a boxer, while it is question- je if Benny is as good as ho was en. Leonard {s and always was a better itter than Britton. Benny has out many of his opponents. ‘k never could hit. His left hand just « tantalizing musser-up and fender. His right at long range is thing. In fact, for a man who has through 8) many successful in the ring his right hand execu- m for tho head is awkward and al- amateurish, e#peclally when he swing. It will hit a * of, course, when he sets and is it go in do or die fashion for the in, but it is useless against a man 0 knows his boxing trade. ‘The Britton right, however, {s very fective as a body punch. It has the ffness of a stick when landed with ba upper palm and wrist on an oppo- t's ribs. Jack used this punch ry gracefully on Young Shade in eir recent bout at the Garden but le few attempts to raise it any her up. _ Age may have something to do with tton’s inability to hook high or oot a straight right for the head. punch calls for a ready play of je tricep muscle and a raising and isting of the body from a pivotal vement of the right leg which an- ers only the cal! of youth.
