BOXING CHAMPIONS AND CHALLENGERS

FIGHTER WHO THREW AWAY HIS CHANCE

THE LIGHTWEIGHT TITLE

(By B. Bennison)

London, July 15.

EX-SEAMAN WATSON has gone to Liver-

pool, where he will fight Frankie Brown, a local youth. If present plans hold good, the winner will be matched against George Daly for the right to meet Kid Berg, the light-weight champion. I much fancy the chances of the old Newcastle sailor, in many ways the unluckiest fellow who ever pulled on a glove.

He might have become a world-beater had not Kid Choco- late taken fright: he would probably have been too much-for Al Brown if the Panama negro had kept faith with the National Sporting Club, and I am decided that he would not have lost the featherweight title to Nel Tarleton had he not burned himself out so as to make the stipulated poundage.

Tokyo, Aug. 5.

AMERICA'S great young aquatic team, in

Japan for competitions which will deter- mine world supremacy in speed swimming, will face a tuning up test at Osaka next Sunday in a meet preliminary to the decisive America- Japan contest in Tokyo the following week- end, Aug. 17, 18 and 19.

Competition for the visiting stars at Osaka will be furnish- ed by a second-string Japanese team. saving the real Japanese champions for the Tokyo meet and avoiding taking the edge off the thrills promised for the decisive competitions."

The Tokyo contest will bring together the fastest collec tion of swimmers ever assembled in one pool, not barring any- of the Olympic Games. Such American stars as Ralph Flania- gan, Jack Medica, John Macionis and Peter Fick will match speed and stamina against an array of Japanese champions fully as good as the team which captured the Olympic swimining. title in decisive fashion at Los Angeles in 1932 and toppled the Americans from the throne for the first time in the modern history of aquatic sports.
