Several heavy sluggers are on the card and when the battle gets un- der way at S:30 o'clock it is ex- pected that the old armory will rock from the effects of the hard
 blows that will be passed out.

 formanCe put on by the boys. Billy

 outs in their respective classes last week are again scheduled 10 step

LABARA RANKS AS
 OLDEST RING CHAMP
Also, in Years, Is the Youngest
 Fight King

Los Angeles. Oct. Is The youngest and yet the oldest pugi- listic champion of the world-such is Fidel Ia Barba, Los Angeles fyweight.
 La Barba has just turned 21, making him the youngest mitt singer - in number of years-to sit on world throne.
 But he has held his title for one year and two months, making him the oldest champion - in period of reign4to wear a boxing crown.
 Since La Barba lifted the bur dens of being fiyweight champion from Frankie Genaro's shoulders in August, 1925. the title in every other recognized diversion has changed hands.
 The great Jack Dempsey, cham pion of all champions, has fallen into discard, while handsome Gene Tunney, fighting marine, rules the heavyweights. Jack Delaney showed Paul Berlenbach out of the lime light and now wears the crown of the light heavyweights.
 The infallible Harry Greb. who dehed all rules of boxing and still was unbeatable. finally succumbed before Tiger Flowers, the Georgia deacon
 Mickey Walker, fighting little lrishman, who was often spoken of as a Junior" Dempsey, reached the end of his reign when he met Pete Latzo, Pennsylvania mining boy.
 Pinky Mitchell, junior welter champ, was decisiveiy beaten by Mushy Callahan, Los Angeles news boy. just two nights before the great Jack took his pummeling. Jimmy Goodrich, crowned lightweight champ by the New Yorks boxing commission, fell before the on- slaught of veteran Rocky Kansas. And Kansas reign was short, as he was unable to cope with the class showed by Sammy Mandell in their titular bout last June.
 Tod Morgan lifted the junior light weight crown from Mike Belerino's head without much difficulty last December in Los Angeles. Kid kaplan found that he could not longer make 126 pounds and abd- cated as king of the featherweights.
 Charlie "Phil' Rosenberg was "outlawed" and shorne of his cham pionship by the Illinois boxing body for failing to post his forfeit for his match with Bud Taylor. How ever. boxing men agree that the Terre Haute boy would have had little difficulty in handing Rosen- berg sound drubbing-if the opin- ion of boxing experts means any thing after the Dempsey -Tunney af- fair.
 But little Fidel La Barba still rules the babes of the squared circle and there doesn't seem 10 be any dangerous rival looming on the horizon.
 There have been rumors that La Barba may get a crack at Bud Fay lor's new bantamweight title but nothing definite has come of it yet.

BY DAN THONAS) (NEA Sports WritcrD

Los Angeles. Oct. 15.-Three worlds pugilstics champions all moulded into one humans body-a condition without Q precedent in ring circles. And yet it is entire V possible in the case of Mushy Cal lahan, new worlds junior welter- weight champion.
 The former Los Angeles neWsboy had little difficulty in lifting the crown from Pinky Mitchell in their recent bout at the Vernon arena here. In November he will meet Pete I.atzo for the welterwcight title at Madison Square Garden, New York. And his manager, Eddie Sears, is angling for a titular bout with Sammy MandeIl. Callahan can easily make 135 pounds for Mandcll if the Rockford Hash" will meet him.
 Mushy might drop the verdict to either or both of these opponents. But he is logical contender, and after what took place at Philadcl- phia on September g, I am con- vinced that anything can happen in the squared circle.
 Bob FitzsimmonS became a double titleholder in 1897 by stop ping James J. Corbctt in If rounds at Carson City, Nevada. He soon relinquished his mddlcweight crown-although he could still make the weight-because there was better field in the heavyweights.
 Others have held two titles. but never has pugilism seen triple champion. In fact it was practical ly impossible for a pug 10 hold a championship in three divisions be- fore the introduction Of the junior" classes.
 Callahan showed a lot Of class in defeating Mitchell. He was the same old Mushy who copped yer dict over Ace Hudkins here last fall. He was the aggrcssor throughout most of the battle, and twice had mitchell on the canvas, although the champion didn't takr the count.
 Mushy should be big card in the east. due to his victory over Hudkins. who is a faNoritc along the Atlantic seaboard. He and Mandell should pack any arena in

 ing on Title

Chicago, Oct. Is Up-The lulI be- fore the storm Of football provided tomorrow by four games bearing on the Big Ten championship and two inter-sectionai tits descended like a blanket on western conference camps today.
 Coaches of the eight Big Ten var sities sparring for an opening ad- vantage in the conference race in the morrow's engagements conspir- cd together in a taciturnity echoed among the undergraduates
 Spears, arriving at Michigan's gates with his Gophers, was parti- cularly sparing of words on Minne- sota's chances Of regaining the tra- dtional Little Brown Jug. and all news of Michigan has sifted this week through barred gates. The Wolverines are given a slight edge.
 Both Zuppke of Illinois and Ing wersen of Iowa came up to the H. linis homecoming with no comment other than to admit a mutual re- spect in the matter Of offenses. The game, ranking with the Minnesota Michigan clash was generally reck- oned toss-up.
 Much interest centers In the Big Ten debut of Pat Page, whose Hoos- iers tackle Northwestern at Evans ton, where the Purple has raced to two triumphs this fall. The former Butler coach left Indiana's good name in the hands of Phelan at Purdue, where Wisconsin seeks first blood In the conference battle.
 Sped eastward with enthusiastic send-offs. Chicago treked toward Philadelphia while Ohio State exc cuted a flank movement and invad- ed New York. With a somewhat bat tered squad stagg hopes to score the first Chicago victory over Pennsyl- vania in the handful Of games since 1898. The Buckeyes objective is repetition of the success which de- ciavely shut out Columbia last year, at Columbus, to 0.

Commerce High school Of Springfield will play the Red and Gold team on Saturday and on the following afternoon the Adams team, leading contenders for the championship of western MassachU- setts will be the All-New Britain opponents.

 The team has not been defeated this year and will enter the game heavy favorite. Fans in the Home City are expecting the team to re- turn a winner. The Red and Gold squad has been put through a hard workout all this week for the team wants that game.
 With Thompson back in the All New Britain lineup for the first time this year paired off with Bar nikow, the team offense which has been exceedingly weak in the first three games of the season will be greatly strengthened. Hunt, Thompson and Barnikow are three of the best backfeld men in the state. "Butsy" Strum is a strong man on forward passes and can be depended upon to do damage on center plunges and skin tackle playe.
 In the line will be Joe Rogers at center, Humphries and Jumbo" Gnasdow at the guards; Murphy and Donlon at tackles; and Holz- heimer and Conley at the ends. This team should be q hard one 10 beat. Stuedtner and Griswold will do substitute work in the backneld and Conklin will be ready to work in the line.

Chicago clear to the rafters, and they would draw goods sized crowd into Madison Square Garden.
 'I would like nothing better than a match with Mandell after I finish Latzo." Callahan told me just be- fore leaving for Chicago, where he will mbeet Spug Myers and Russie LeRoy. of course it would take me two or maybe three months after the Latzo go to get down 10 135 pounds without sapping my strength, butt I can do it.
 'Petc Latzo is going to give me a tough scrap, and"I might lose sev- cral pounds while I'm in the ring with him. My, friends here seem 10 think that Latzo will be easy for me. Naturally I expect to win, or l wouldn't have accepted the match, but it won't be any setup."

KENSlNGTON AND FALCON
 TEAMS TO PLAY ON SUNDAY
Deciding Game in Series Is Scheduled to Take Place at St. Mary's Field, Ringing Down Curtain for Season.

Definite announcement was made today by Managers Joseph Nenesli of the Falcon A. c. and Manager Patrick Buckley of the kensington A. C. that the sixth and deciding game of the battle for the inter- city championship will take place at St. Mary's field Sunday. The only hold-up in the game would be in case of poor weather conditions.
 The news that the teams would battle, in the deciding game was met with general approval by both the kensington and Falcon fans. Both were anxious to have the game played and put away all doubt as to which is the better team.
 The kenstngton team. supposed to be weak hitting array of ball tossers, came through rapidly in the tail end of the season and put the Corbin Red Sox team out of the running. The Falcons are also a. good team and at the opening of the series were expected to carry away the honors.
 Betting seems to be even on the battle. Both teams are equipped with good pitchers. In fact much of the results of the contest will de- pend on how the fingers will feel on the day of the battle. Ginger Cleary will burn them over for the Falcons while Bucholz will do the honors for Kensington.
 The Falcons won the first and fifth games while the kensington team won the third and fourth contests. The second game was a tie. to 4, after 19 innings of play. Darkness intervened. The game will start at 2:30 o'clock. Herbie Sauter will be the umpire behind the plate.
