HEAVY-WEIGHT FIGHTS
WHY SO MANY END IN FIASCO. (Rec. November 26. 5.5 p.m.) London, November 25. Tom Webster, in an article in the “Weekly Dispatch,” asks: “Why does the present-day heavyweight light usually end, in a fiasco?” He answers himself: “There is too mucn at stake nowadays for the men to do them selves justice. Defeat, while not meaning exactly oblivion, practically puts a boxer out of the running for any real big money. Men like Carpentier find the responsibility an incentive, but it is a' handicap to men of lesser mental calibre, of which the British ring is composed to-day.”—Sydney “Sun” Cable.
