On September 20 he will journey to Superior, Wis., Britton Receives Offer to Fight British Cliamp New York, Aug. 20. Jack Brit ton, world's welterweight champion, who meets Mike O'Dowd, middle weight champion, in Newark Friday night, yesterdny received an offer to battle Johnny Bnsham, the English welterweight champion. The British have seen O'Dowd in nction, and if Britton defeats the middleweight champion there is a chance of an international welter weight match.

Rains broke In on Champion Herman long enough to inform us that Soldier Bartfleld would arrive at Reddy Wigmore's camp in the "Neck" the first of next week. Bartfleld always believes in arriving early. He would have been here now only he wants to remain in New York until after the Britton-O'Dowd affnir. Benny Leonard, is no easy assign ment for nny person, and this includes the big welterweights. Jack Britton laced Bartfleld at Shlbc Park last sum mer nnd ou that occasion there was no rope around the soldier's hands. He denies that they were tied. This also .makes it quite apparent that any person about to enter the ring with Benny Leonnrd must go in there prepared. Bartficld respects Leonard's punching nbility and is taking no chances. He will be present early. SCRAPS ABO UT SCRAPPERS CHICAGO here today. Two games for one war tax. Cincinnati here on Saturday. Two more games and another chance to trim the government.
