WELTER TITLE BOUT TALK OF FANS

Britton-Lewis Scrap to Decision Cause for Speculation, By JACK VKIOCK f INTERNATIONAL NEWS SERVICE! NEW yORV. June 22 One of the .:rst important fifteen roun.l touts to a decision that New" Yorkers are locking forward to vhtn the rw boxing law becomes operative is a world's championship battl between Jack Bntton and hi3 tow-headad rival. Ti.d lwts. newly crowned welter weight champion of England. i The 'old man of the waiters." Britton. in thirty-six. you know, has ten in undisputed possession of the chamViocBhip for something over a year. lie j won the crowd at Canton. Ohm, on J March 17, 1919, by flattening Lewis for , th count in the ninth round of a ( scheduled twelve-round bout. The Canton bout marked the . Miwnt meeting between Lewi and j Britten, ho have been the world's Wdins 'welter weights for several years. Then, on July 27 of last year Lewis rot chance to regain the title id en eight-round bout at Jersey City and failed, for the champion was all t,-H clever for Ms British opponent, and after it was over consensus of op.nioa at the ringside gave TJrift-n the popalar decision. In addition to Uwls, who won the English -welter weight title a short tira ago when he scored a technical! knockout over Johnny Ba-ham. there lire at least two welter weights who rank as near topnotcher, but both of these beys have failed to shake the throne on which Britton pits m easily. One cf thepe- lads Is Johnny Griffiths, who returned from & successful tour abroad only to lose a decision to thet "aged" ttit eglle champion in a fifteen ronnd tout at Akron last Decoration day. Griffiths, ten years Bntton"s junior, vaa expected to lift the crows from Jack's curly dome, but failed absolutely. Jack Ferry, the Pittsburg welter. Is another lad who has been knocking at Bntton's front door rereietently for ppme time and ia several meetings ; with the champion he has failed to even hit the crown. Brftton Is the most marvelous boxer cf the are. "When his age is considered he taltea rank as a pugilist who represents a distinct class, for at thirty six he appears to be just &3 active and prolific with hl.s mittens as he wa at thirty, and In his recent bout with Griffith he. demonstrated that he can go the championship distance and finish strong. "With Lewis wearing the English title athwart his taffy-colored thatch and clamoring lcady for another chance to regain th world's title lost at Canton more than a year ago, the twentieth meeting1 between the two is only a little way off. for with fifteen rounds to a decision permitted here New Yorkers are already asking for the matchThat Lewis stands a g6od chance of regaining the title some day is admitted for great though he Is. Britton cannot go on forever, and the Ted Kid is thirteen years younger .than the champion. Both men celebrated birthday last October, Britton enterfng- on his1 h!rty-6lxth year and Lewis hia twentytilrd. the, M m oik tn mum mm sr AMZXICAST LAOU. IV. L.
