BOXING ANOTHER BELT CLAIMANT.
Another claimant to the Flanagan belt has turned up in Billy Weller of Montreal. Weller claims to have won the title from the late Mike Ward of Serula, and although he has fought many battles since he says that he has never been beaten. Flanagan has informed him that his claims will not be recognised and that if he wants the belt the only way to get it is to challenge the winner of the Billy Allen-Patsy Droutilard bout here tomorrow night at the Lyric Theatre. Each member of the National Sporting Club will be his own referee as usual. Members are asked to mark their cards plainly as ownership of the Canadian lightweight chamopinship depends on their decision and that of the sporting writers chosen for the purpose.
