Jones, the Akron dusky battler, who la middleweight champion of the national boxing commission and 38 states, by virtue of hia recent win over Sammy Slaughter, Fort Wayne battler, la probably the ring's most potent po-tent right-hand puncher. Jeby, New York Hebrew lad, and choice of Gotham's Goth-am's boxing commission as middleweight middle-weight champion of tha world, is as tough as they make them. Jones Is a veteran of quit a few years of ring war. Underneath that slicked-down hair Is a think tank that's functioning 100 per cent In the ring. Little Willie has always been content to coast along and await an opportunity to throw that dynamite right And when it lands, night falls. The New York favored son hasn't been in fistic company ao long. But he was in long enough to blast Frsnk Battaglia all over the ring in winning the title recently. Jeby has announced his color preference, pref-erence, and it aeems that ha doesn't care for dark hues. But perhaps that's Just a gesture. It'a a good bet that, If enough money Is tossed Into th ring, Jeby would b willing to climb in there and fight grinning Willie with axes, knives or harpoons. Anyhow, It's high tlm something wss don about this division of the middleweieht title between reoresen-tatives reoresen-tatives of the two boxing association If these two boys meet it will be very definitely decided on way or the other just who owns tha crown.
