4 this country that he is the
actual ruler of the 126-pound
class. True enough, he won the right
to proclaim himself as such by winning
a close decision over Tony Canzoneri,
but his work in the ring has been moth
ing out of the ordinary. To make mat
tiers worse, Routis will not defend his
title against worthy contender for
the honor unless he is paid plenty.
Last week Paddy Marmon staged an
elimination contest between Earl Mas
tro and Eddie Shea. with the former
stepping down the wire the victor on
decision. It is now up to Harmon to
induce Routis with good sized guar
antee or the Frenchman will find some
excuse to sidestep MAESTRO.
Eddie Mead, the rotund and genial
manager who piloted Joe Lynch to a
world championship, weighs in with an
interesting query:
What must fighter do TO get a
chance at the title?" asked Eddie. My
little Panamanian, Davey Abad, holds
decisions over Tony Canzoneri, Benny
Bass, Pete Nebo, Cowboy Eddie Ander-
son, Eddie Shea and Cannonball Eddie
Martin. II this sort of record is not
sufficient to place Abad at the head of
the list Of challengers for the 1885,
pound title. then am poor Judge of
fighting ability"
Mead is right. In Abad he has one
of the best little scrappers in the coun-
try. and If Routis refuses to fight Mas
tro, Paddy Harmon and his match

maker, Nate Lewis, could do the next
best thing to staging a titular fight by
matching MAESTRO with Abad, and ii Is
dollars to doughnuts that the fight pub
lie In general will recognize the winner
as the uncrowned feather-Weight chant
pion and force Routis into fighting the
winner.
While on the subject of Mead's fight
ers, it is interesting to record that he
has another feather-weight who comes
close to earning the title of iron man of
the ring. Johnny FAIR. a pugnacious
little italian from Cleveland, would
rather fight than eat, and has the rec
ord of stepping from one fight into a
Pullman car and stepping into the ring
the following night for another session
with the gloves.
Last week in Philadelphia Johnny

tory to be registered over the French
man in this country.

MARATHON SWIM
.DELAYEDBY COLD
Postponed for "a Hours and
Outlook Now Is That 1t
Will Be Longer.

By the Associated Press.
Canada, August %
A chilling wind from the North
has caused postponement of the
l. fourth annual Wrigley mara
thon swim for "a hours and per-
haps more.
The swim, scheduled for today, was
postponed until tomorrow when a cold
wind sent the temperature of the water
IN Lake Ontario down to 81 degrees
yesterday, four degrees below the re-
quired minimum of So degrees.
Officials of the swim were hopeful
that the weather would change for the
better, but official forecasts were not
favorable. "Northerly winds; fair and
COOL" said the Weather Bureau. 1t
will take a warm sun and southwest
erly winds to boost the temperature in
the lake to the required minimum.
Meantime 275 swimmers, nerves on
edge. wait anxiously for the long grind
to start. More than 400 sent in their
entries for the marathon, but only 276
showed up for physical examination.

of which proves again what a smart

1t Is no certainty that Schmeling

happened to be an entirely different

there is an exceedingly good

This, of course. is no certainty. 1t

stand up after a weeks hammering

gan foot bali squad. A tentative team
from last years vets and the most prom.
ising sophomores shows possibilities OF
one of the heaviest Michigan aggrega-
tons in years.
From tackle to tackle the first guess"
line averages 191, and then comes the
bombShell. The ends and four backs
put these gaunt, puny, emaciated youths
to shame with an average poundage OF
1876. Capt. Truskowski and the veteran
Draveling are fairly certain at the TANKS
at 200 and 206 pounds, respectively.
Gembis and Simrall of last years team
could be augmented by Hudson and
Morrison in the back field, with weights
of 200, 1913, 1876 and 2l0.
Certainly few teams have ever boasted
two ends and four backs of these
breath-taking proportions. Average
poundage Is often given a false color by
the presence Of a fatty weighing $50 or
200, but the heaviest man on the team
above would be Maynard Morrison at
2l0. Simrall at 1853 should be prohibited
by law from disporting himself in this
field of giants.
incidentally, the Michigan coaching
staff should hasten to acknowledge its
indebtedness to this correspondent for
disposing easily of a problem that will
keep half a dozen of 'em up nights for
the team furnished on application.

KING TUT WILL BATTLE
 LOPE TENORIO TONIGHT
Two Outstanding Contendcrs for Lightweight Championship to Meet in Chicago.

Chicago, Oct. 16 GP)-king Tut. WGo asplres to the 135-pound title, will meet Lope Tenorio, the Filipino. h"re tonight, and it appears that he must do some excellent fighting if he expects 10 continue on his way to- ward match with Sammy Mandell the lightweight titleholdcr.
 Tut q fighter who has shown amazing improvement during the past year was rated a slight favor lt7 to win hut there were plenty of persons willing to back the island boy.
 Tho blond lightweight menace from Minneapolis added 10 his laur- els recently by beating Billy Pctrolle in Detroit, but Tcnorio perhaps has as fin" q record as Tut, with victor l"s over Stanislaus loayza. Bruce Flowers and Joe Click. Tenorio also holds q decision over Tut, but that waS scored a year ago and there is little comparison between the Tut of that time and now.
 In the semi-windup on the card, Babe Hunt, the highly touted south ""sterncr. will make his Chicago debut against Al Friedman, the man from Boston who mawes any op- ponent fight. Friedman is a fine trial horse for any aspirant to the heavy weight title, and Hunt has ambition along those lines. The Babe is a punchor but Al has demonstrated he knows how 10 handle the hard hit ting boys, Tine Boston man probably won't get to the top himself but he already has plotted out the ambitions of many heayyweights and Hunt will have fight on his hands.

The South Congregational church basketball team has issued it's first call for practice, the initial work out having been set for o'clock evening, October A, at the Boys club.

SEVEN FIGHTERS
 ARE RE|NSTATED
New York Commission EVades
 Court Action by Movement

New York, Oct. 16 UP)-Tony Caragliano, young Italian light weight. has won a decision over New York's three most important pugilistic figures-"Big Jim" Far ley, William Muldoon and George E. Brewer.
 Caragliano is a preliminary box fight. Until yesterday his chief claim to fame was the fact that he was one of the stable of boxers sus- pended by the New York commits sion when Max Schmeling refused 10 fulfill an engagement to meet Phil Scott.
 The boxing commission-comp ed of Farley, Muldoon and Brewer in attempting to punish Schmel- ing suspended not only the Teuton and his managers, Billy McCarney and Joe Jacobs, but all boxers man. aged by the McCarney-Jacobs com- bine.
 Caragliano, the least important of the lot, was the only one with suf- ficient courage to take the matter to court. He engaged a lawyer who filed writ of mandamus, requiring the commissioners to show cause why Caragliano should not be rein stated. The writ was returnable in supreme court next Monday.
 Rather than risk going to court the validity of it's ruling the con- mission yesterday did a right about face and restored the licenses of Caragliano and the other six boxers affected by the suspension. The six are Frankie Genaro, former fly weight champion; Andre Routis, former featherweight champion; Jack Delaney. Sammy Nogel, Eddie kid Wagner and Oliver Wright Their managers, Joe Jacobs and Bill ly Carney, together with Schmeling however, are still banned. It was announced that these would remain banned for eternity, unless Schmel- ing changes his mind about the date with Shuffling Phil Scott.

TWO TEAMS HAVE PICKED MANAGERS
Yankees Will Name Successor to
 Hug6ins Next Tuesday

New York, Oct. 16 UP)-Two of the three major league clubs look ing for managers have selected their men.
 The New York Yankees have signed a successor to the late Mil Ter Huggins but his name will not be announced until next Tuesday, There is little doubt that it is Ar thur Fletcher, Yankees coach for the past three years.
 Dan Howley, former manager Of the St Louis Browns. has been named manager of the Cincinatti Reds.
 Only the St. Louis Cardinals are on the lookout for manager un- less Bill Carrigan decides not to lead the Boston Red Sox> next sea- son.
 Sam Breadon, president of the Cardinals, said during the world series that he would not name Bill McKechnie's successor until after the football season.
 If Carrigan does not return to the Red SoX, Muddy Ruel veteran Washington catcher, is said to be in line for the job.
 In announcing that the Yankees had selected their 1880 manager, Secretary Ed Barrow said the for nal announcement of his appoint ment would be held up pending the mans return to New York city.
 Fletcher is at present at his hime in Collinsville, H., and is expected to retur early next week.
 Fletcher twice has turned down jobs to manage other American League teams since he came to the Yankees. He refused an offer two years ago to manage Cleveland and last July turned down an offer to manage the Chicago White Sox
 Fletcher has had years of man. agerial experience in the National League. He managed the Phillies from 1922 through 1928. The club never finished higher than seventh principally because of lack of ma terial.
 He was one of te best shortstops in baseball when he was in his prime with the New York Giants from 1909 to 1920. He is 43 and has been in baseball for 22 years.

At meeting of the club owners in the American Roller Hockey league in Hartford next Friday night, a final decision on the ad- mission into the circuit of three new teams representing skating rinks in New York. Brooklyn and Newark, will be reached.
 A committee of the owners yes-' terday made a tour of inspection of the three places wherein it is proposed to play the game if the. trio of clubs is admitted and all conditions were found to be very satisfactory. At the St. Nicholas arena at Broadway and 66th street, New York, it was found that a new floor is being laid and the place will be ready for use on November 2. About 6,000 fans can be accommo- dated there. At the Broadway arena in Brooklyn, the same conditions were found to exist with the hall having a capacity of about 5000. At Newark, the Laurel Garden was found to be adaptable for play. It can handle about 2,500 fans.
 Arrangements for the use of. these arenas for roller hockey have been practically completed and there is little doubt about the clubs being admitted 10 the league. The scarcity of teams in the circuit in the past two seasons has been found to be on of the worst draw backs to the success of the game.
 Manager Frank McDonough of the New Britain team is busily en- gagged in getting in touch with the players whom he expects to use during the coming season. He has retained both Arthur (Kid) Will Hams and Barney Doherty for a nucleus around which he will build his squad and he plans to organize, the strongest possible quintet for action this year.
 The opening date of the league, now set for October 26, will prob ably be changed with the admission of the three new clubs into the cir cult. The league will probably play solidly through for 2S weeks.

Los Angeles, Oct. 16-Will Ace Hudkins be the neSt middleweight champion?
 The Nebraska Wildcat is certain that he will. Mickey Walker, pres ent titleholder, is equally sure that the Cat won't. But the question will not be decided until October 29 when Hudkins and Walker meet at Wrigley Field, Los Angeles, for the championship.
 The bout is holding the spotlight in the boxing world as one of the best 'naturals' of the year, with the tearing, savage Cat matched against the hard-hitting, crafty Walker.
 Sure I'll beat him." says the confident Hudkins, who has recent ly removed the last obstacle in his path before the Walker bout, talk ing six-round technical knockout over Kentucky Joe Anderson.
 One Decision
 Walker has memories of a dcci- sion over Hudkins in Chicago some time ago, and is certain that he can take" the Cat again.
 Los Angeles fans are boosting Hudkins in the bout. Hudkins, al ways a good drawing card, definite ly put himself in line for a title bout by decisively whipping Ken lucky Joe Anderson. He carried a vicious, slashing attack that had Joe in a bad way in four rounds, and brought an end in the sixth.
 Both Walker and Hudkins can hit and take it. Walker may hold a slight edge in betting, due to greater ring craftsmanship and greater boxing skill, but should Hudkins be timing his "one-two" with the same accuracy that he dis played against Anderson, and shouli his right and left hooks carry the same effectiveness, new champion may be crowned.
 Walker has not defended his title for some time, but has been doing considerable work, so that he should be in condition for the bout. Hud- t, in top shape for the affair. The Cat came through the Anderson bout with hardly a mark.
 Keeping the Ace Away
 Hudkins is a dangerous might CT. Anderson won only the round that he stood off Hudkins and box cd him. Walker is a good infighter and q good boxer, but will have io keep Ace at a distance.
 Walker has gone into the light heavyweight division for several bouts this year, but should have no difficulty in making the 16O-pounI limit. Hudkins fights best at about l57 pounds, well under the limit and the few pounds should give Walker no advantage.
 Under the terms of the bout Walker will get 47 1-2 per cent of the gate, Hudkins F 1-2 per cent. It IS expected to gross about s20O.- 00O

WRIGLEY PLANS
 FOR NEXT YEAR
Owner Of D0Wnhearted Cubs Seeking New Material for Team

Chicago, Oct. 16 P>-William Wrigley, Jr., owner of the down. hearted Cubs, promises some more interesting news items for the hot stove league this winter.
 Back home from Philadelphia where his Bruins absorbed thclr final world series knockout punches, Wrigley already is planning and looking forward in 1880. His big bank roll is out again and he is after one or two established pitch ing stars and a third baseman who can hit as well as field.
 Dazzy Vance, speed ball king from Brooklyn, is reported to be one hurler Wrigley is desrous Of buying while Third Bascman Whit ney of the Philadelphia Nationals also is linked in the rumors flying around Cub circles.
 Wrigley, who refused to discuss the Rogers Hornsby deal last win ter until it was sealed, admits a move is on to strengthen the Cubs for another National league pen- nant dash in 1880 and another try for a worlds title.
 wen be back next year strong CT than ever and maybe we'll have some breaks, too,' he said. The Cub team. which received a rousing homecoming reception yes- tcrday, was scattered today, while the business office began the task of making refunds for the sixth world series game that never will be played. A special window will be opened in the Boulevard Bridge tickets for the game will be reim- bursed. approximately s200,000 will be handed back to fans.
