"Shade will be the next champion of the world, said Flynn recently.

Billy is fully as fast as his brother Dave and a much harder puncher." The semi-final match between Pat Mills, the Irish marvel, and Teddy Meyers is also causing much interest.

Mills, a terrific puncher and a real, shifty boxer, is rated as the best lightweight that has invaded America since the days of Freddy Welsh, and according to Flynn. will show Meyers a points about boxing.
