- (Anprfated Ptm Letted Win.)
NEW YORK. Sept. 22. Mickey
Walker of Elizabeth. N. J., and bis
two battering fiats, still rule the
welterweight division of pugilistic
world.
By a furious rally In tbe final
round of a gruelling 15-round strug
gle with his leading challenger.
Dare Shade of San Francisco, the
champion demonstrated to the sat
isfaction of two out of three offi
cials last night that he is still en
titled to wield the sceptor In the
147-pound class.
George T. Kelly of Tonkers, N.
T., one of the judges, thought
Shade won. Richard Nugent of
Buffalo, the other Judge, voted for
Walker. Then Referee Patsy Ha
ley decided the issue by returning
verdict for the champion.
With but a few exceptions, most
dt the newspaper critics conceded
Walker a clean cut victory: he
finished tbe stronger after having
forced the fighting over almost the
entire route In addition to dealing
out the heavier blows.
Shade, .on of the most elusive
marks In the ring, for the most
part cast aside the dodging, weav
ing defense by which he had often
baffled opponents in other fights.
He traded punches, toe to toe, with
the champion. Ie was a game at
which WWker was highly profi
cient and the change In tactira
spelled defeat for the crafty Cali
fornlan. YANKEE STADIUM. New York,
Sept. 22. Mickey Walker of Eliza
beth, N. J., retained his world's
welterweight title when he scored
a judges' verdict over Dave Shade
of California In a furious 15-round
title match at the American league
baseball park last night
A thrilling rajly in the final
round won the verdict for the
champion, who bad been absorbing
plenty of punishment from his
challenger In the early rounds.
Walker had been wearing down
his challenger with a concentrated
body attack and reaped his harvest
In the final round, when he ham
mered Shade about the ring with a
charge which retained for him the
world's 147-pound crown.
The flgbt by rounds follows:
Round One,
The champion took the aggres
sive after a clinch and scored heav
ily In the in-flghtlng against his
crouching challenger. The cham
pion was pounding. on Shade's bo
dy. Shade staggered Walker with
three straight left Jabs to the
face. Shade almost floored Walk
er with a right to the head. An
other right sent Walker to the
ropes. Shade's crouching position
and his dodging tactics puzzled the
champion. They were sparring at
the bell.
Round Two.
Shade's left sent Walker back
wards. They locked arms, but
both got one free and they pound
ed away In a fierce fashion. Shad"
almost upset Walker with an over
hand right. Clinch followed clinch
as 8hade crouched to protect him
self from Walker's charges. Shade
scored a beautiful Hsht npporcut
which turned Walker half around.
The crowd was In an uproar as
the bell ended a furious rush.
Round Three.
Walker booked his left to
Shade's Jaw. Another left caught
Shade's Jaw and a clinch followed.
Shade staggered Walker with a
driving left to the face. Walker
almost flsored Shade with a right
to the Jaw. Both landed weakly
to the head. Walker scored with
his. left and Shade clinched. Five
times Shade landed to Walker's
face with a hard right. The ref
eree had to pry them from a clinch
as the bell ended the round.
Round Four.
Walker continued In punch away
at Shade's body, as the challenger
drove Into a clinch at every charge.
Doth missed frequently. Walker
stung Shade with a right croi to
the Jaw and followed It with a
beautiful lefL There was plenty of
in fighting. Walker . staggered
Shode with his left, but took a
right uppercut on the return Just
as the bell ended the round.
Round Five.
Walker crashed over i wlcrd
left to the bead which almost
floored Shade. Shade came back

His Bureau.
(Aasnrlatrd Pre Uued Win.)
WASHINGTON, Sept. 22. The
weight of opinion of those charged
with administering of the navy
waa thrown today Into the scales
against any sweeping change In the
organization of the nation's air de
fense. Testifvln tfnra thm nnulitunt'.
air board. Secretary Wilbur, Rear-)
Admiral Edward W. Eberie. chief
of naval operations, and other high
ranking naval officers, vigorously
opposed the re-organltation plan
advanced by Colonel William Mit
chell. Mr. Wilbur declared against a
department of national defense,
proposed by Mitchell and favored
by Major-General Mason M. Pat-,
rick, the army air chief. He like
wise opposed an Independent air
corps, analogous to the marine
corps.
Admiral Eberie squarely lined
up with the views of his superior,
which are In accord with the posi
tion of the war department.
Without mentioning names, Rear
Admiral William A. Moffett, the
naval air chief, told the board he
welcomed the opportunity to testi
fy as many erroneous and mis
leading statements about air serv
ice recently had been given the
country. He opposed a separate
air force, declaring the naval air
service went to sea "on the hack of
the fleet and insisted that although
the building plan approved by the
service had not been carried out
because of inadequate funds, "it Is
considered that our navy has pro
gressed further In aviation devel
opment than any nation in the
world."
For one thing, he said, the Amer
ican navy has 30 airplane catapults
capable of operating a device
which no other nation has yet de
veloped. WASHINGTON. Sept. 22. The
maintenance of the navy air ser
vice organization in substantially
its present form was advocated
today by Secretary Wilbur before
the presldent'a air board.
Called as the first witness of
the day by the board, wheh yes
terday Inquired Into the policy of
the war department and the army
air service. Mr. Wilbur emphatic
ally opposed creation of a depart
ment of national defense. Such
a step, he declnred. would 1m a
"well nigh Irreparable mistake."
"Air forces," he asserted, "form
an essential part of the fabric of
the navy Itself and Its adminis
tration and organization, like
other administrative problems. In
ternal to the navy, will. If un
molested by outside forces, be
solved with the same efficiency
and with the enme happy results
as haa been obtained In similar
prohlema. In the past.
The secretary likewise expres
sed opposition to establishment of
the naval air service as a aeparate
corps, analagotis to the marine
rnrps and declared against a sin
gle air service, maintained for
national defense, but not under
the army or navy.
The navy, be said, requires Its
own air force as "a vital element
of a naval battle," adding that an
Independent air service would
"remove from the naval comman
der that unity of command In
time of battle, and that uniform
ity of tralnfhg In time of neare.
which every war has proved to be !
essential to victory."
The secretary assured the
board that "all the Information
in the possession of the navy de
partment or any of Its officers
desired by you Is at your dls- j
pose I."
"We wish," be said, "to pre-i
sent the matters Involved In the !
fullest and fairest manner pos- J
slble by those best qualified to I
give the Information." j
Arwrelve Tact In. Pearolhed.
The secretary launched Into a I
broad discussion of the tactical j
relations of the air service to i
other military arrangements.
"The miwion of the army and
navy n peace or war," he aald,
"Is to support and defend the na
tional policies. The air service.
