·ted, he would play for the European side in the quad- rangular tournament.
WELSHMAN'S RIGHT TO CHALLENGE
NEUSEL CONTENDER FOR WORLD TITLE
BUT MUST BEAT MAX BAER FIRST
(By HAROLD LEWIS)
London, November 20.
DISCUSSION of future matches for Walter
Neusel and Ben Foord, following the points victory of the former over Foord at Harringay on Wednesday, went on throughout yesterday. Neusel will be matched. with Max Baer, the former heavy-weight champion of the world, at Harringay next February, if Home Office per- mission is obtained for these two foreigners to meet in England.
Ben Foord has abandoned his projected visit to America. He will probably box in London within the next six weeks. No opponent has been arranged, but his natural rival is undoubtedly Jack Petersen, the former, champion, whom Foord beat at Leicester last August
Despite his poor form in that fight. Petersen has an out- standing claim to challenge for the British title. He is only 25, and his failure at Lelcester was inexplicable. He ought to be- able to recapture his former speed, punch, and, most important of all, his confidence.
It is a fight London would
pay to see. Petersen can pro-

or losing. In his first fight with Walter Neusel the Welsh-
man nearly won by the knock- out in the second round and again in the ninth.
In Running Again Petersen also has a victory overj Foord to his credit-he cutclass- ed him when they first met at the Albert Hall in March, 1994. Foord has improved, but I believe the Petersen of 1934 would beat him again.
