WALSH DELIGHTED AT PRAISE
(By Harold Lewis)
London, October 21. AFTER the success of their opening show the National Sporting Club yesterday were endeavouring to make plans for more big nights on the same lines; that is to say, to produce first- class boxing apart from any question of the size of the contestants.
Happily, the days of the ring mammoth are over, for the time being, and the effort to meet the British desire for good boxing among men of lighter weights has been justified.
Jimmy Walsh, who beat Mizler on Monday in defence of the British light-weight title, has already come to an agreement with Johnny Best, the NS.C. match-maker, and will certainly box again within a few months at Earl's Court.
