By the Associated Press.

HARTFORD. Conn, July %
! Award of the light-heavyweight cham
pionship to Mike McTigue by the New
| York Boxing Commission is protested
| by the National Boxing Association.
Thomas E. Donohue, State athletic
commissioner of Connecticut. said.
In making this declaration Dono-
hue said he spoke for the National AS
ISOLATION, of which he has been acting
president since the death of Allen
Behr of Cincinnati, who was elected
to office at the last annual meeting.
Commissioner Donohue said he
would proceed at once to get mail
vote on the matter in order that he
may have on paper a definite express
sion of opinion from each State hold
ing membership in the association.
II cannot see," said Donohue. where
the New York commission, represent
ing, as it does, but one State, can
ignore an association which has not
only a big membership in the United
States. but also affiliations in prac-
tically every foreign country where
professional boxing has foCthold.
THE New York commission takes
this handing out of championships
upon itself and has gotten away with
it to date.
'Now the National Boxing Associa-
ton plans to make a fight of it, and
the McTicue incident affords just the
opportunity we have been seeking to
make a vigorous protest

BY FAIR PLAY.

NEW YORK, July 29-By disposing
Of Bob Lawson in the seventh round
nf their scrap last night in Madison
Square Garden, Paul Berlenbach will
e51ow be able to set sail after Mike Nc

spnce won from the latter.
- Mike, you know. was bequeathed the
Brown because he was the fortunate
one to be signed to fight Champion
Jack Delaney. The latter said he
sEould not make the necessary weight,
Ind the title was handed to McTigue
xon a silver platter.
McTigue won the title from Bat
Cling Sikh. Berlenbach beat Mike, and
then Delaney proceeded to relieve Ber
Nenbach of the title. Now it reverts

.trigue put over a finishing blow, thinks
be can erase the stigma of a knockout
and come back to win over the Irish

- Berlenbach's win over Lawson was
Nothing to brag about. Paul tried
hard from the beginning, and if Law
son, after a good showing in the
initial round, had not forgot what he
vas in the ring for, it is doubtful il

- Paul pressed his man from the open
ing gong, and despite a Hurried at

IN the first round, he kept on plugging

Ing seven Ieft-handers to bring a man

Lhe Paul Berlenbach of today. He hit
dawson time and again on the chin

down.
= Then again, there was a rumor
going the rounds of the Garden which
does not do the game any good. Law
son is under the management of Walk
Miller. The latter also looks after
Tiger Flowers. It is a common knowl-
edge that Berlenbach will next meet
Elowers. Then why is a man from the
