Cleveland, July 2S-The middle weight title of the world is in dispute today According to the Cleveland Boxing Commission and sports writers who were at the r+ngside, the title belongs to Bryan Downey of Cleve- land, he having acquired it by a knockout over Johnny Wilson of Bos- ton, in the seventh round of a sched- uled twelve round decision contest last night
 But Jimmy Gardner of Lowell Mass, former welterweight boxer, who refereed the match, declares Will son retains the championship be- cause Downey fouIed Wilson
 Wilson was knocked down three times in the final round. Fhe round was just one minute and six seconds old when Downey sent Wilson down with a right to the jaw and a left to the chin. Wilson wau on one knee when Gardner slowly counted nine- Whether he counted ten is disputed.

Pittsfeld Open Crucial Series Today
PleasureBeach Postage Meet

The Pleasure Beach Park company has accepted the chance to run the state championships there on August 20. The officials of the company promise a fast quarter mile track by that date. At present the only re- Semblance of a track on the lsland is the famous old motor course ana it is impossible to run on this. It is estimated that it will take eIght months to build the new track at Seaside Park and it looks as though the Pleasure Beach people will have to do some tall stepping to get course suitable in the next 25 days.
 One feature of the meet is that all contestants will start from scratch and the poor handicapping that has been shown in recent meets will not afford a source of quarrel. One thing that the Connecticut Association of the A. A. U. needs, according to the views of many, is a new handicapper It appears as though the man doing the handicapping gives insufficient consideration to his work. One mat ter regarded as poor judgment in the recent meet was a lad that won the 100 yard dash at Naugatuck and Brls- to1 with handicaps was given five yards over a runner who had nol competed in that event before
 Entry blanks will be sent out next week. Cups will be awarded to win ners of first place and medals to secs ond and third.

Can it be that Marty, having head that Platts, aside from knocking out the French and English champions, knocked out Boyo Mccormick in four rounds and is afraid Platts is too tough?
 Gan you imagine the late Stanley KetcheI1 or even Al Mccoy ducking a foreign champion? Wilson has a better record than any middleWeight champion in history in having evad- ed defending his title longer than any of the fighters of the past, and it is about time that he met a. worthy opponent
