Corri to Referee Willard Johnson Bout in Britain
British referee Eugene Corri will be the third man in the ring for the Willard Johnson fight. American referees are notable by their absence as promoters look abroad for a suitable official. Johnson aided Corri's selection, and the bout time remains over a month away. Also, Bart Sullivan's Purple relay team eyes the indoor record for 1660 yards at the B A A games next Saturday, with Holy Cross star Joe Higgins thanking Duffey for the praise and A. A. Martin Delaney predicting Joe Loomis could contend for the all round title after further events.

Uncertain Rules Blur Freddie Welsh Title Risks
The argument canvasses whether Welsh can lose the lightweight title in any no decision bout by knockout or foul. If knocked out or penalized for a foul, he would lose the title, but if the bout ends in a decision by papers, the title remains safe. The discussion also notes McCarthy at Tufts and references Jack Morton versus Alf Downer in Britain.
