THOUSANDS OF LAND
TITLES UNDEL|vERED
Government Locates 117,OOO
Stray Patents, Covering
Millions of Acres.

Thousands of titles to public lands
in Mississippi, Louisiana, Florida, Ala
bama and Missouri, covering millions
Of acres and dating back as far as
1900, have never been delivered to the
homesteaders concerned An investiga-
ton of claims and titles by the Interior
department has shown surprising
number of instances where original
patents have never been received for
lands handed down from generation to
generation.
compilation made recently of these
undelivered land patents, now being
forwarded to the Department of the
Interior, shows that approximately
1l7,00O were unearthed in the land Of
Miss. Springfield Mo-; Montgomery,
Ala, and Gainesville, Fla. OF this
total, $4,000 came from land offices at
Montgomery and Springfield.
Plans of the Interior department call
for the filing Of these patents with the
land cases upon which they were based
in the general land Office not only for
sale Keeping, Dui dlSO llidt lHcy udy
be delivered in case they are ever
called for. 1t is estimated that they
represent 17,720000 acres Of former
public lands in the states of Louisiana,
Mississippi, Missouri, Alabama and
Florida upon which the original own
ers never took up their patents.
An explanation of this large number
of undelivered patents Is based upon
the habit of homesteaders, in former
years, of regarding the final certifi-
cate issued by the land Office and trans
ferring the land covered by their en-
tries as sufficient proof of ownership,
without the land patent itself. Another
cause Is the fact that it was not the
practice in the earlier days of the
Republic to notify the entrymen when
their patents had been issued. This
has since been corrected and local land
offices now see that homesteaders are
informed when their patents come
from Washington.

 The American light heavyweight title changed possession twice. Gene Tunney, Greenwich Village favorite, took the honors from Battling Le- vinsky in January by the decision route but lost the crown in May to Harry Greb. of Pittsburgh, who gained a decision after hard-fought 15-round bout.
 The situation in the featherweight and middleweight divisions was com. plieated by decisions of the New York State Athletic Commission, which took away the license of the respective 'titleholders, Johnny Xiii bane of Cleveland. and Johnny Wil- son, of Boston. and declared their laurels open to competition so far as the Empire State was concerned.

NEW YORK, Jan. 5.-"Uneasy lies the head that wears a crown" in the domains of pugiism-proof of which is the unusual number of sensation al upsets featuring the ring record for 1922. Review of the year shows that three worlds and two Ameri- can titles changed hands. With the exception of the heavyweight ranks, where Jack Dempsey remained su. preme but inactive, all the crowns were in jeopardy at some time.
 Four of the titles changed hands in New York while the fifth, the worlds light heavyweight champion ship, passed into the possession of the Senegalese, Battling Siki, when he knocked out Georges Carpenter in Paris last September Ski also acquired the European heavyweight title by his victory. Since then, however, he has lost whatever pres tige he gained by drawing a long term suspension from French boxing authorities for improper conduct and adding fuel to the flames of con troversy with unsubstantiated charges that his bout with Carpenter was in- tended as 2 frame-up for Georges 10 win but that he double-crossad the ex-poilu by a change of heart" dur ing the bout.
 Double Disaster
 Johnny Buff, veteran Jersey City boxer, met double disaster during the year. losing the worlds bantam weight title to Joe Lynch, of New York, a former champion of the division, in July and the American flyweight crown to Rancho Villa, the Filipino sensation, in September. Buff, minus much of his former prowess through a long illness, was knocked out by Lynch in the 14th and by Villa in the 11th round He has not appeared in the ring since then.
 Another veteran went down to de- feat before stamina and youth when Jack Britton, king of the welter ranks for years and one of the craft fest ring generals of all time, lost a decision and his world title to Mickey Walker, of Elizabeth, N. J., in November. But few months before Brtton had put up one of the best fights of his career against Benny Leonard, lightweight titleholder, win
