LONDOX, July 17. Anglo-American rivalry was intense today as British and Yankee fight fans awaited the etart of the Pal Moore-Jimmy Wild twenty-round bout at 9:30 o'clock tonight. Wilde, the world's flyweight chaupion, was the favorite today, but the odds over the Memphis boy showed a decrease compared with the betting three weeks ngo. Looking fit from his training Moore weighed in at 2 o'clock this afternoon just under 116 pounds. Wilde was much lighter.

The drop In the odds was caused by reports that Wilde had lost hhs old-time form and slackened his pace. If Wilde wins, it la figured he must score by the knockout route. If the scrap got the full distance. Moore's chances are iconsidered excellent, as he 33 faster than, Wilde, though not fo deadly with his punches.

It required lots of real hot weather to bring L'rban's salary whip around, but the old wing was never in better shape that it is today. Mldirawa Fra. The former Yankee was fat as a porpoise wiien the club returned from the east. The cool weather encountered auring the trip kept him from getting into share, and when he failed to linish two or three games. ome critics intimated that he was nearing the end of his big league career.

A fitting reply to those insinuations can be found in a review of Shocker's record since the club returned home. He has won four out of five games during this rerlod. Four singles were ail the Y'anks could collect off Shocker's delivery. Only two of these were driven past the tnneld. Two of the Yankee Mows came in the ninth when I'rban eased up with a five-run lead.

Smith might have scored also in this round if he had waited for Hank Severeid to bat. Instead, he tried to tally Oerber's short fly to center and was easily flagged at the triangle on lio-die's throw. Sisler started the fireworks again in the sixth.

Americans are forced to consider the bouts between the little Knglishrnan and Joe, Lynch and Pal Moore. The British flyweights, bantams and featherweights whom Wilde, has bowled over in jig time were mediocre in the extreme.

The records show that Wilde got the decision on points over Joe Lynch in four rounds, and was declared tne winner over Lynch in a twenty-round bout. It is conceded that Wilde earned the verdict in the four-rouid contest, but many English critics dis-sented as to the ruling in the twenty-round bout. That Bout With L)nrb. Aside from the question of the correctness of the verdict, one point stands out in bold relief. Wilde, who has been co needing, weight to liritish boxers and knocking them out in short order, failed to.

make any impression on Lynch in so far as stopping the American was concerned. On the Lynch is declared to have severely shaken up Wilde at several stages of the battle. Lynch is a heavier hitter tiian Moore, but in the matter of boxing skill, there is small difference between the two American bantams. If either has an advantage in the matter of boxing science, it is Moore, who about a year ago received the referee's decision after a twelve-round bout with Lynch at Providence. Moore also has to his credit a fifteen-round decision over Dick Loadman.

a heavy puncher, and a ten-round decision over Jack Sharkev, an aggressive bantam. Moore boxed the combative bantam, Frankie Hums, practically to a draw in ten rounds and has demonstrated that he can hold nearly all the leading American bantams Bafe, although being unabl. through light hitting, to win decisively. Peculiarities, of Referees. It Is apparent that Moore wins the bout from Wilde, it will be on points tit the end of twentv rounds.

If the bout lasts the limit, Moore looks all over like a winner, but it would be hazardous to wager on the American owing to the peculiarities of Knglish referees. The chnce of Wilde's scoring a knockout is very slender, because Moore is a rugged chap, quick on his a "t15 tha puzzles all of his opponents. The only other Americans that Wilde has met and knock out were Johnny p.osner and Young Zulu K'id. neither of whom was ever in the same class with Moore and Lvnch. The bout with Moore should prove a true test of Wilde punching powers.

The men will meet at 116 pounds ringside, which Moore easily can make. He has scaled as low as 114 pounds. Wilde's liritish admirers claim that four rounds was not enough for him to show to advantage over Moore on the night of the inter-Allied tournament. Pew disagreed with the referees opinion that night, but liritish s-portsmen clamored foria return battle over a longer route and tonight's battle is the outcome of that desire.
