is a big man, and there is bigness splashed all over the articles which he from time to time sarves up about boxing. There is a kick in them. I gather thathe. like most of us in this country, has been bitten by Jimmy Wilde, who, en passant, I would remark has provided more "copy" than any other little fellow who has ever been in the ring.
Says Masterton in that peculiar wap of his, apropos of all the talk about. Wilde fighting topnotch bantama -"When George Dixon met Cal M'Carthy at Boston in their first fight, Little Chocolate" (meaning Dixon) scaled exaétly 97 lb, to M'Carthy's 115 lb The battle went seventy rounds to z? [draw. When they met thesecond time, which was at Troy, N.Y Dixon weighed 102 16 and M'Carthy 115 lb. Dixon-won by a knock-out in the 23rd wound. M'Carthy was the recognised bantam champion of the country at that time, and the weight for the class 115 ringside.
"It will thus be seen that little Dixon won the bantam cham- pionship when he weighed but 102 lb. Also, that Dixon conceded as much weight to a champion as Wilde yielded to Lynch, who was merely a second rater. In their Boston fight Dixos gave 18 lb. to M'Carthy, and held him to a draw in a fierce batile lasting 70 rounds." From which I infer that Masterton is rather sceptical about Wilde being the wonder that we claim him to be..
INCOMPARABLE WILDE.
Now, my good friend Bat, you may take it from me that we, in this country do not exaggerate the ability of Wilde one little bit As for Lynch being a second rater, I do not agree with you at all. As to Dixon, I know him well, and whilst I am prepared to admit that be was very much e pugilistic marvel-I would better describe him if I said he was & freak--I do not think that seen at his best, he was any more won- derful than Wilde. A thousand times I have been asked to say

The match was a study in contrasta, Wilde, alsd in-faded blue drawers, and having only one hand bandaged-his left looked the essence of fragility.

This sent Manfield to the floor, and the first thrill of the match had thus early arrived. It was no knock- out however.

While warlasted the Admiralty kept all salvage work in their own hands. But they have now decided to reopen it to civilian enterprise and to confine naval plant to work on the Belgian coast. As a result private organ- isations such as the Liverpool Salvage Association are restart- ing as quickly as they can. New companies are also being formed, for the scope of opportunity is world-wide, and holds promise of
