Comments: Walsh to join Brooklyn Tommy in Post-Prime career stage in 1915; the rest are at Prime. Walsh defended once but only a draw means his rating is lower than that of Attell, who scored a bounceback win over Kilbane. Kilbane dropped a spot despite his draw with Walsh and dropped the NABF title to Attell. Dundee, the USBA champ, was 3-0 for the year. Leo Johnson recovered from his loss to Dundee with wins over Criqui and Lee Johnson, he was held to a draw by O'Keefe for a 3-1-1 year. Julian's only bright spot was a TKO over Hayes, he lost to Attell and lost his WBA title challenge but retained the EBU belt. Brannigan took a SD over Moran but was outclassed in his two title tries by Dundee and Kilbane. Criqui suffered the loss to Leo Johnson, but moved up with wins over Joe Russell, Reddy and Grover Hayers, plus he battled Brannigan to a draw. Brooklyn Tommy reversed his downslide of five losses in a row with UD 10 wins over Hill and Mars. Owen Moran drew with BW champ Coulon but lost the split duke to Brannigan. O'Keefe moved into the Top 10 wiht a UD win over Snailham coupled with a SD over Steve Sullivan.

Other Notables: Young Corbett, #10 the prior year, retired in 1914. Grover "Battler" Hayes dropped out of the top group, falling three spots to #11, suffering losses to Julian and Criqui although he did register a UD 10 over KO Chaney. Chaney is now 16-7 (11) after the loss but he had wins over Kline and Lee Johnson. Debuting at #13 is Kiwi Frankie Ellis, who sports a 14-2 (4) mark after going 4-1 for the year, with a TKO of Dixon, a UD win over Cobb, a SD verdict over Russell despite a MD loss to Kline. KO Mars is a bit behind him at #16 with a 14-2 (5) record, after a 4-2 year with a TKO over Reddy but losses to both Sullivans (Brooklyn Tommy and Steve).

Prospects: Two newcomers made successful debuts in the FW division in 1914 -- Willie Ames, who is 5-0 (2) versus all TCs, and Ansell Bell who won his first outing to go 1-0 (1).

Retirements: Two FWs hung up their gloves in 1914. Their records:

Johnny Crowe (USA) 1902-14 28-19 (17) No Titles Highest Rank: 12
Young Corbett (USA) 1897-1914 42-22-4 (23) WBA Champ 1900-01

Looking Ahead: Walsh's reign as WBA champ is likely to be a short one as he is now on the downside career-wise. Expect Attell to regain the title, but Kilbane and Dunee are logical rivals for the crown, too. Expect Criqui to step up and take a crack at Kid Julian's EBU belt. Ellis may need a few more bouts before challenging Moran for the long-dormant CBU title. Three newcomers -- Danny Edwards, Francisco Flores and Vincent (Pepper) Martin -- will be added to the FW ranks where the number of prospects is still pretty thin compared to most of the other divisions right now.
