THE EVENING WORLD, WEDNESDAY, NOVEMBER 82, 1999 MICKEY WALKER HAS EVERYTHING THAT MAKES A CHAMPION NEW WELTER CHAMPION IS A BOXER NEW WELTERWEIGHT KING [SA BOXER AND HITTER Britton’s Conqueror Shows Trace of Terry McGovern’s Fighting Style, but Is a Cieverer Mitman—Blocks Well, and His Foot- work Is First Class. By Robert Edgren. The Mickey Walker-Jack Britton fight was finished and with the deci- siom of two judges and the referee the veteran's long held welterweight champtonship title had "passed {nto possession of the youngster from New Jersey. Victor and vanquished left the ring. The crowd, buzzing with excite- ment, still surged toward the exits. Behind me at the deserted ringside an old-time sport, discussing the fight with a knot of friends, exclaimed loudly: “Well, Walker has the title, but he won't keep it long. The first guy that comes along with a little boxing will get him. The kid doesn't know why they put gloves on his hands.” Funny how some people can look at@——<$@ —_—_————____ @ fight wituout seeing it! There were . thousands in the Garden that night who talked about the match afterward as tf Britton had lost solely because of old age and disappearing vitaity. ‘They saw all the cleverness of the old champlon, and mone of the skill shown by the youngster. For my part, I'll be surprised if Mickey Walker doesn’t hold teh wel- ter title for some time to come. He has everything (hat makes a cham- pion. As for boxing, + can block two out of t ewift jabs, and who to hit Britton when every trick at man. On the way home after beating Lritton he satd to-a friend: “I did my best to stop him, but now that {t's over I'm glad I didn't suc- ceed. He put up such a game fight that he didn’t deserve to be knocked out.” Walker can't yet be classed with such great welter champions ag Joe Wolcott, Mysterious Billy Smith or Mu.ty Matthews. But you have to go back « long way to dig them up. And Walker is only a youngster of twen- ty-one. He hasn't yet come near the top of his form.

RICKARD TO MAKE THE TOP BID FOR YANKEE STADIUM ‘That spectacular, tall Texan, George t» Rickard, made his first move to rope the Dempsey and Wille bout for the heavyweight championship of the world vesterday afternoon, and what ts more, he at once became the liveliest bidder for the New Yankeo Ball Park as a battle ground, Having agreed to meet Rickant tn a conference to talk over terms, Tex in- vited the two Colonels, Huston and Ruppert, to confer tn his offices tn the tower at Madison Square Garden. Col, Huston did not attend the powwow, but ‘ol, Kuppert, President of the Yankee Club, and Ed Barrow, Business Man- ager of ham's American League stars, dro din for a talk with Rick- ard and Frank Flournoy. Little of nothing leaked out ns to Jus waa said and done, but this much Rickard succeeded in exact rise from the Yankee offictais that Tex Rickard would be always con- sidered the TOP bid man for the use of the giant plant when ft came to staging the big mixed bout there, no ished black worsted, matter what figures the other Barnums laid on the table, coat and waistcoat, ORIGINAL CELTICS TO PLAY BUFFALO IN TITLE CONTEST Inwood Girls Five Meet Trav~ » elers in Preliminary Game at Garden Saturday.
