			The "southwest corner" decision of the ''Globe'' in favor of Britton was ridiculed by other sporting writers. Sporting editor Walter St. Denis of that newspaper wrote: "From the southwest corner of the ring at Madison Square Garden it looked as if Jack Britton outpointed Packey McFarland in their ten-round bout.
