GREAT CHAMPION "Jack" Britton Still Goinit Strong at Thirty-nix By Bonnie When a boxer passes the rather; * tender age of thirty .summers, thej wiseacres toss up their hands and say "He's through — " . dark Britton, champion welterweight lx>\er of the world, at thirtysix today sets up and gives the socalled boxing "fatalists" a hearty!, laugh, foe'Tfntloii at thirty-six is practically unbeatable. On New Year's Day Jack celebrated his nineteeTOrwrntiyeiwiry since enter-1-— ing the sqilured circle. Britton lost his title to Ted (Kid) Lewis,. the English welterweight and then regained it by knocking the Britisher out. "When it came to championships I never took boxing seriously," said' Britton the other day. "I was a sort . of wandering Arab. If I wanted Xv take a trip to New Orleans to see the Maiili Gfas, IM write some promoter,; get my fare and fee and enjoy the; sights till the money run out. Then! IM write to a promoter in some other part of the country, get more fare! and fees ami live happily until the' It was one of these jaunts to "New - Orleans that Britton met I'acky Mr- f Km land. Back) was good then. He , went twenty rounds with the Chicago , -tar, the pa'pers citing the affair a t Then came the controversy over the \ welterweight title. Britton having , grown out of the lightweight ranks |< was interested because Willie Ritchie, c who was also a lightweight, claimed r the title. "Then Ted Lewis beat Ritchie and c claimed the 145- pound crown. Where- 0 upon I horned in, but the Englishman s outpointed me twice after capturing thd-title. Then 1 went to Buffalo and n fought Is- wis a twelve round no-deci- v sion bout. Back to Brooklyn the pair |, of Ting gladiators went and met in another no-decision match." Then Lewis' manager, Jimmy Johns- a ton matched Britton for a twelve 0 round encounter in New Orleans and a much to the" former's surprise, Britton a walloped Lewis all around the ring v and not only captured the decision but c ' the world championship as well. s After several more no-deci.* U^cn- i; counters which took the pair al^rer u the country, Britton hooked up with n his most insistent challenger in Day- p ton, Ohio, and lost a twenty round de- f cision and consequently the crown. k It was two years later that Britton g again got his chance to clash with b 1-owis in a bout to a decision and the e veteran American put the champion to sleep at Canton, O., in nine rounds, of a scheduled twelve round engage- " Regained His Title ° "I'm the ordy champion living who w ever regained his title by knocking |j the champion opt. I fought him n " again, eight rounds hi Jersey City and w then whipped him in -Madison Square Garden in a fifteen round bout. Plen- p ty of fights we had, but I can always whip him now. I've got his number, g "I went from New Britain, y Conn., to Chicago, when 1 was ten years old. I sold papers and like all the newsboys had to fight my wayhalf the time. We were inspired by the doings of Jefferies, Fitzsimmonx C and Corbett at the time and 1 became u fairly good at the art of using my fi

uy \ £ hi # __ JUK BRITTON One day the matchmaker of. one of the boxing clubs having heard ! 1 of the ability displayed by some of the newsbays hunted us up to put several on in the preliminaries at the ' weekly show of the club. He picked mc out and asked me my name. The ' had nick-named me Britton, be cause of my home town, and I simply replied that my name was "Britton." "When he asked me my first name 1 confessed that I hail not thought Yif ; one to fit my family monicker and he selected Jack as becoming me. Britton boxed that night under the mime of Jock Britton and won. The ' winner received seven dollars and the I , three. , Name is Breslin "That was nearly nineteen years Last year I received over $20.- | for whipping Ted Lewis. Rather big hop in wages since I started, , and Britton grinned broadly. "After my hrst fight the papers , called me Britton and the name has i stuck, though my real name is Will- \ Breslin. I don't mind fighting under an assumed name, but you have | idea how confusing it is in your ; private affairs,' My sons nre called ( in school because the teachers know that 1 am Britton the boxer. I've. , got Britton and Breslin on the door so that there won't he a mix-up | few minutes." j o , KEYSTONE SATURDAY NIGHT ' Keystone A.

Quintet Unbeatable Two hundred ufld txa^ttty-flve people passed the turn stile into Temple i Hall last Saturday night to witness ' the first basketball game in the quarters of the Ocean City Athletic Association and also the first game of basketball played in Ocean City for a The event took on all the form that ■ an opening contest of this kind should City Solicitor Andrew C. Boswell introduced the Rev. .James E. Lake to' the fans. It was through the efforts I of Mr. Luke that the boys secured the privilege of the temple for their I games. Mr. Lake, still a young "man • in all but years, threw out the ball and i started the play. The linc-up for Ocean City was: Breckley and Collisson, forwards; Wiesenthai, center; Henderson and Morey. guards. Roy Johnson was referee. Perfect team play on the part of , Ocean City quickly overcame any ad.1 vantage that Egg Harbor -may have gotten. It was Egg Harbor's first de- j ] feat in many games. • I . The uniform of the Ocean City Fivej is a maroon and white sweater, gamet F jersey, brown trousers, crimson and ' gold stockings and white shoes. A feature of the game commented | by many was the "No Smoking" j signs and the positive way in which _ smoking was prohibited.
