Walker Is Backed
To Retain Title
NEWARK, N. J., Nov. 24. Odds
of 2 to 1 are being offered that
Mickey Walker Tetains his world's
welterweight thle in his 12 round
bout with Sailor Friedman cf Phil
adelphia here Wednesday night.
Although the sailor's science and
rugged ring craft are being touted,
Friedman would, have to put tho
champion away, or be indisputably
foaled before he could win, for
decision bouts are sot permitted
here.
A knockout by Walker would
spoil the chances of a return bout
over the 15 round route to a deci
sion. Both boxers have completed
training and are taking matters
easy. .They weigh in Wednesday.
