■* NE WYOBK, Dec. 19 —(UP).
—Beau Jack, the new light-
weight champion, symbolizes
this modern era of fast-breaking,
concentrated warfare. He is a
•human blitz, if you ever saw
one. He goes all-out in the sav-
age, unceasing fury’ of attack
until the opposition is leveled.
His march to victory against
sharp-shooting Tippy Uarkin in
jammed Madison Square Gard-
en last night was a great trium-
ph of force—skillfully directed
force agtynst the old-fash-
ioned conceptions of pugilism.
He received SI5,000 for the
fight.
Beau Jack, w lut was bout
Sidney Walker about 22
years ago at Augusta, Ga.,
actually is Joel, Dempsey s
hoy — the mythical lad
about whom the old Mantis-
sa Mauler lias been talking
these many years.
