the champion in May or June, with a
Wills or Firpo bout, providing no
other candidates jump to the fore
reserved for climax to the outdoor
season in September.
Outside of the heavyweight ranks
promising material is bristling in
most of the other divisions, particu-
larly among the light heavyweights
and middleweights, but few of the
champions appear anxious to run
undu1 risks.
Mike McTigue has been repeatedly
outpointed by rivals for his world
175-pound crown in no-decislon con-
tests, while suffering the further ig-
nominy of being ranked fourth in
his division by Tex Rickard in the
promoters 1894 best ten,' but the
Irishman clings tenaciously to his
laurels. Gene Tunney, the American
light heavyweight champion: Young
Stribling and Paul Berlenbach all ap-
pear capable of dethroning McTigue,
but they are unlikely to be given
a chance.
Among the middleweights, Cham
pion Harry Greb faces particularly
formidable foes in Tiger Flowers. At
lanta negro, and Pack Delaney of
Bridgeport, Conn. This pair clash this
week in a test which should produce
a contender for Greb's crown. Jimmy
Slattery. Buffalo youngster, also must
be reckoned with.
Mickey Walker stands out as one of
the few fighting titleholders, but is in
disfauor with the New York State
Athletic Commission for declining a
challenge from Dave Shade for well
terweight title battle.
Lightweight ranks are suffering
from the inactivity of Benny Leon
ard, who apparently has outgrown his
division a result of prolonged idle
ness. Leonard's health and prone
ness to injury also have stood in the
way OF his ring work. He may pre-
pare himself for a fling at Walkers
title, an event that fell through last
season, but it would not be surprls-
ing to see him retire from lightweight
ranks, leaving the State Athletic Com
mission to arrange an elimination IT,
tie tournament, as was done in the
featherweight class. In such a tour
nament Sid Terris, New Yorker, would
start favorite on the strength of his
brilliant record, with Jack Bernstein,
Sid Barbarian, Mandell and Luis VII
centini other outstanding contenders.
Kid Kaplan, recently crowned feath-
er king, promises to keep up active
work, with Bobby Garcia, Mike Dun
dee and Babe Herman among his most
dangerous foes. Cannonball Martin,
new bantamweight champion, has
none too firm a grasp on his laurels,
