pGTE LATZO
 Challa4Ser
BY r. c. NOSBURGH

Creature Service Sports Editor)
 New York, May o9 (Pl-One Of the fastest growing cauliflowers in the world vii ltry to take the light heavyweight crown from Tommy Loughran at Ebbets Field, Brooklyn, May 3o
 Pete Latzo. the challenger, has grown into the 175-pound class without even astapover in the mid dleweight division since last sum- mer when he lost his welterweight championship to Joe Dundee.
 To Loughran the scrap with the pudgy Latzo looks like little more than a good chance to worm up for title fights with Jimmy Slattery and Leo Lomski which the energetic champion and his manager have scheduled for the next few weeks.
 There is no doubt a victory for Latzo would be one of the greatest upsets in recent fistic history, but it isn't entirely outside the range Of possibility, Nothing is. in the box | ing game. As velterveight cham nlOI tHF lOlIl'l tstI dllloll !lllliN Po. made 8 name for himself as an earnest, hard working opponent in the ring, and he has gotten into better shape than some of the rail- birds think. having had two or three good tune-up fights of late.
 It IS whispered, too that the req son Latzo is doing his title hunting in the light heavyweight division is l not because of so aldermanic 8 stomach that he couldn't stop in the middleweight class. The inside of that situation is supposed to be that Latzo passed up the middle weight division because he knew | there was no chance of ever get ting a championship fight there I The ruler of the class is Mickey Walker. the same from whom Latzc won the welterweight title, and I.atzo's henchmen maintain that Walker and his manager. Jack kearns, have never gotten over that shock and never will 10 the extetnt of letting Latazo get chance to dc it again.
 As for Loughran. he Is running nc chances. despite his confidence ir his ability to take" I.atzo He played safe by keeping in good con. dition and taking on a good. rougl tune-up opponent in Joe Sekyra Dayton heavyweight, whom he me at Louisville. Ky. in Derby E.v' no decision bout. The fact tha Tommy had this rugged lad on tho verge of a knockout at one point r the fight is taken as assurance tha the champ is pretty near his peak.
 The Latzo fight incidentally mark for Loughran the beginning of period of title defending unprcce dcntcd in this day of cautious cham pions. Taking a leaf from the bool of such old Celtic warriors as Sul livan, and also Jim Corbett, Tomm, is 10 carry his title into the rin, with Lomski and Slattery next, botl Of whom he has defeated.

 Hospitality is something everyone seems to have up in this country for we have been treated royalty where ever we have visited It would seem to me that the further up this way we came the more beautiful and impress sive became the scenery.

 This, believe, will be the best tyip of my life, and have had many good ones. I am just dub" com pared to these experts am with. By the way, wonder if you folks have ever heard the definition of an expert? He is just an ordinary guy who is far away from home"
