BOXING

| NEW YORK OFFER OF WORLD'S

TITLE FIGHT

Teddy Baldock, bantam-weight champion of Great Britain and Lonadale belt holder received a cabled offer during mail week from Mr. Jesse McMahon, the New York promoter formerly associated with the late Tex Rickard, inviting him to go to New York at the earliest possible date to meet Al Brown, the Panama negro, in a contest for the bantam-weight championship of the

world.

Mr. Joe Morris, Baldock's mana- ger, told "The Sporting Life" that he accepted the proposition provid- ed that suitable terms could be ar-

ranged. He did not withdraw from Kis stand that Baldock was the world's title holder as well as British champion, by virtue of his defeat of Archie Bell in London in la contest for the then vacant title; but Baldock was willing to box any claimant to the crown, if only the Dioney was right. He wanted to hold the title undisputed.

McMahon proposes to stage the match at Ebbetts Field, Brooklyn, New York, as one of the outstand ing events of the summer sport season.

We were advised that the goalkeepers would be good, and this is attributed to the fact that they become good catchers in baseball or basket ball.
