Unless my memory and all statistics
available are at fault, Mickey Walker’s
feat in winning the middleweight title
from Tiger Flowers is without a parallel
in ring history.

Some of the experts went so far as
to say he was about through ax a head-
liner.
However, I am a trifle ahead of my
story.
la 1925 Walker settled kla differences
with the New York boxing commission
and expressed a desire to meet the late
Harry Grub for the middleweight title.
It was hard for him to make the welter
limit and he was positive he could de-
feat Grob.
It was my good fortune to witness the
meeting between Greb and Walker In
New York. It was one of the greatest
fights I ever saw. Greb was in top
form that evening and although Walker
fought a remarkable battle, he was de-
eisively beaten.
The welterweight champion saw Greb
throw a million gloves at him that even-
ing and 1 majority of them landed. 1
have always thought that Greb took
much out of Walker that evening and
started him on the toboggan.

Trio of Upsets.
It’s been just one thing after another
la the world of sport during th* year of
1926, fast coming to a close.
During the football season, a week-
end upset that didn't furnish at least
three startling upsets was the decided
exception.
Hardly had footbal made its exit from
the sports stage than the fight game
took up the eerie* of upsets where the
grid athletes left off. .
During the flrot week of December,
on successive nights, a trio of ring sur-
prises were added to the long list of
unusual happenings that have featured
the year.
Wallace Surprises.
Billy Wallace of Cleveland, formerly
of the Pacific Coast, provided the open-
Ing thrill. He knocked out “Kid" Kap-
lan, former weatherweight champion. In
the fifth round.
No one, except those familiar with
Wallace's punching power, gave him so
much as a chance. During the first four

1922 from Jack Britton.
Shortly afterward he got into a lot
of trouble with the New York boxing
commission because of hl. refusal to
meet Dave Shade and was barred in that
state.
Being under the ban in New York kept
Walker from getting many big matches
and a. a result he wasn’t called on to
defend his title very often.

years he loot to Pete Latzo at Scranton

the shifty Flowers in a heavier class.
A return match between these two
probably will be an outdoor affair for
next summer la New York. Walker’s
manager, Jack Kearns, is too smart to
let Walker start for anything but big
dough.
Try to Beat This One.
However, to my way of thinking, the
biggest upset of the three was turned la
by a comparative unknown, in the eoat
at least—Eddie Roberta of Tacoma and
other pointe west.
All that Roberta did was knock out
Joe Dundee, who ranked mighty close to
Champion Pete Latzo before his San
Francisco engagement that resulted so
disastrously. •
The strange part of it is that Dundee
and his manager went to the coast as a
sort of a vacation, not to fight. Dundee
had been working so often in the East
it was figured a change of scenery would
help.
He took on Roberta for about one-
fifth of what he would have received
in the East, and waa knocked out with
out larding eo much aa a real punch.
