McDonald will soon return with a
squad of British boxers, and he means
to use his best efforts To Induce
Beckett to make the trip. If Joe
does come over here, he can count
on at least one big house, for the lo
cal fans will be curious to see what
kind of a fighter it was that Carpen
tler knocked out so quickly. After
one appearance, Mr. Beckett may
not be such a good drawing- card, al
though Bombardier Wells was very
popular here despite the fact that the
floor generally, came up and slapped
him in the face before the bout was
over.

If Jimmy Wilde the flyweight
champion of the world, is willing to
box Jack Sharkey at 116 pounds
ringside at 3 p. m. and he will post
a forfeit of $5,000 as a guarantee
that he will give Sharkey a return
bout in case he should win over him,
then these little battlers will meet
again, probably on January 26. Wilde
has signed up for the bout and
Sharkey will also sign, providing
that If the Welsh wonder agrees to
the above terms. Sharkey is afraid
that if Wilde should outpoint him,
that he will take the first .steamer
back to England without giving him
a return battle as he is giving him.
