Sept. % will be the fifth major title
tilt in Chicago since lcgalized boxing
came back Il little more than year
ago. And a persistent jinx followed
every defending champion in the
previous four.

crowns and the fourth was knocked
out but saved his championship be-
cause his opponent was not within
the title limit.

law, July 3, 1926, Champion Rocky

referee, Dave Barry.
Rosy Loses Crown
The next to lose his crown was
Charlie Phil Rosenberg, then ban
tam king. He evaded putting up his
forfeit to make the weight against
Bud Taylor, until the state athletic
commission called off the fight and
declared Taylor champion. Later the
New York commission did the same
thing to Rosenberg and Taylor was
matched with Tony Canzoner. He
whipped Canzoneri decisively in ten
rounds
The jnx fastened next on Tiger
Flowers, middleweight champion.
The Verdict Of Referee Benny Yanger
giving the crown to Mickey Walker
caused so much comment that the
state athletic commission decided to
name two judges for each fight, to
vote with the referee on decision.
Mushy Callahan, junior welter-
weight champion, was knocked out by
Sergeant Sammy Baker, but Baker
was over the 14O-pound limit so Cal
lahan's title was not affected.
Fidel La Barba, who rules the fly
weight division, is the only title hold
err who has been successful in Chi
