New York, Feb. 24-New York
City is facing a ''most desperate
fuel situation" with the coolest
weather of the winter at hand,
the fuel administration announced
today.
Barges carrying more than
100000 tons of anthracite are
frozen in the Hudson and ice
Jams have completely cut off
these supplies.
Dealers bins are practically
empty and what little coal there
is left is being saved for emer-
gency prescriptions" of the adj
ministration, it was said.
The best the city can expect is
about one-half of the minimum
amount of fuel counted on t.
carry through the critical period
of the winter. the administration
officials asserted.
Manhattan Island is practically
ice bound. Plenty of substitutes
for anthracite are lying on the
jersey docks but the clogged river
prevents moving them.
The mercury was dropping rap
idly, and zero temperature is ex-
pected to be reached today.

Believe That Our Champs
Are Nothing But
National

New York, Feb, 24.-Britishers,
like Americans, seem to get lit
tie pains of Indigestion occasion
ally and they start shooting Digs
promiscousIy through the air.
One of these promiscous shots
happened to be aimed recently at
the United States, where it seems
that false pretenders to several
fistic titles reside.
Sporting Life" London pub
LEGATION, believes that our worlds
champions are nothing but nation
al champions, because only fifteen
round bouts are permitted in this
country.
Perhaps the British idea is cor
rect, but from the observation of
recent international glove combats
between Americans and Euro
pans, not more than five rounds
would be necessary to get a de-
cisive result.
There is good deal of rea-
sons for agreeing that as the
United States laws governing
boxing limits contests to fifteen
rounds, worlds championships
could not be decided rightfully in
America, because in every other
country twenty rounds is the re-
cognized distance" Sporting
Life" says.
america has long assumed I'M
warranted dictatorship in boxing
and ended up by claiming the
whole of the worlds champion
ships, except the fyweight, held
by Jimmy Wilde, and the cruiser,
held until recently by Carpenter.
Now that Sikh, to whom this title
descended, has been declared sus-
pended, one need not be surprised
if America claims this also by
reversion, Carpenter having been
endowed by it after beating Bat
Ting Levinsky.
Logically and legally, a So
called championship contest in the
states can only be for an Ameri-
can title, even though we, on this
side. have accepted Dempsey, Car
pentier, Mickey Walker and Benny
Leonard as worlds champions.
Dempsey, Carpenter and Leonard
left no room for argument when
they came into their titles, be-
cause each stopped his opponent
we'll within the limit. There is
little doubt also that Walker,
who won his title on a decision,
would have stopped Britton within
twenty rounds. On the other hand
there have been cases where the
fifteen-round limit saved a cham
pionship."
In the list of Americans re-
cognized as worlds champion
ships, the British authorities omit
Johnny Wilson, Johnny Kilbane
and Joe Lynch.
Thank gosh. we can agree with
them on one contention.
AS to the other claims, it is
merely matter of opinion. Anne
RIGA thinks fifteen rounds is suf-
ficient and elsewhere they seem
to be of the opinion that twenty
rounds are necessary.
The only way is to try it with
the challengers from the other
side meeting the socalled Ameri-
can champions.
Twenty rounds might be neces-
sary in that case for Dempsey,
Leonard and Walker to put away
four of their challengers in a row.
