Of that list, the first half-dozen named probably are the class of the best, although some of the others may show something soon that will topple them over. Just how kind of the big "hit" is might be inferred on the basis that Johnson, who for the first time in his life was knocked out and off the champion hip pedestal by Kid Williams, is doing an apparently real "comeback." He has been cleaning up lately.
That figures Williams as a bear, but Kid Herman has topped the champs crown. Johnny Pratt won from Williams on a foul. Pa. Moore beat Williams in a limited contest, and Frankie Burns has shown well against most of the field. Burns can hardly be considered a possibility for first honors.
Coulon, one of the grandest champions of all time, looks like a sun sink behind the horizon. It looks like if the honors he bet between Herman Moore, Williams and Britt Moore is laid up with a lot of trouble.
