Among the claimants, the most yocif.
nro,is will be the voluble Boy Bandit,
Mr.. Johnston. If my memory 10 not
Slipping, Mr.. Johnston actually did get
a title by claiming. Some time back
Mr., Josnston discovered that there was
a vacancy in the welterweight division,
and appointed Ted (Kid) Lewis the
welterweight champion. Lewis ana JACK
Britton had numerous bouts 1or the
title until Britton developed resent
nent toward the Englishman and
knocked him fiat, spelling a business
that was almost as profitable
as the series Of Leonard-Dundee bouts.
But I doubt that any Of these
claims will be taken with much
seriousness when 1t comes to the mat
ter of the heavyweight champion
shin. Despite the fact that he has
been declared very null and void by
the New York State Boxing Commits
sion, It is quite evident that Mr..
Max Siegfried Adolf Otto Schmel-
ing has made the best showing OF
all the heavyweights in the various
eliYninations that have shaken the
rings from New York to Miami.
Mr.. Johnston insists that Schneling
shipped himself to Germany to avoid
meeting Phil Scott, and that ne actual.
" was frightened out of the country.
Mr.. Johnston, who knows more about
ring finance than any Of the traders in
caulifiowers, knows very well that the
reason why Schmeling departed was
that his percentage Of bout with Scott
would not make 1t worth his while.
Even in England, where the hope
for a vertical heavyweight springs
eternal, they do not regard Philip
with any great seriousness. On
Philips first trip to the United
States he was placed in the prone
position adopted by all true British
heavyweights by Knute Hansen.
Subsequently Mr.. Hansen followed

Vince went 10 rounds with Fields
on the Coast, and 1t Is said that Vince
made a whale of a showing. Vince
was not considered as good as his

money was wagered on Joe's ability

~HICAGo, September 1.-THE
boxing titles vested in Sammy
I Mandell, Mickey Walker and
~ Andre Routis, today were In
jeopardy - not from seeking
fists. but Of being taken away by the
National Boxing Association.
The association, in convention here,
Yesterday put the cases OF Mandell,
world lightweight titleholder; Walker,
holder of the world middleweieht cham
pionship. and Routis, featherweight
ruler, In the hands Of the championship
committee.
It was expected that Walkers title
would be declared vacant. Eddie Kane,
Mandells manager, was to appear on
behalf of the Rockford sharpshooter:
The commission contended that none OF
the three has defneded his title against
satisfactory opponents during the laSt
six months. However, In rating Tony
Canzoneri, whom Mandell defeated IN
his last championship defense battle,
, as number two among the lightwe1ghtS
of the world, the commission indicated
Mandell would be given another chance.
II also was indicated that Routis
would retain his title for the present.
The commission recognized Bat Bat:
talino, Hartford, Conn, as q logical
contender for the featherweight title,
and Routis will meet him in 10-round
championship bout at Hartford on Sep

Irish Giant Would Sock
Ring Foes in His Socks

CHICAGO, September II R.-
Gan Tim Derry, an Irish Giant OF
st. Paul. 6 feet inches tall, ex-
change socks with an opponent in
his socks? or must he wear shoes?
This weighty problem confronted
the Illinois State Athletic Commits
sion today.
Derry never wore shoes until two
years ago, when he reached his nine
feenth birthday. Since taking up
boxing the big Irishman found 1t
dificult to move about in the ring
with shoes on. So he merely wears
a heavy pair of socks, or sometimes
battles in his bare feet.
Derry engages another Irishman,
Les Kennedy, in an eight-round pre-
liminary to the Tuffy Grif6th-
George Cook bout in the Chicago
Stadium Friday night. Kennedy,
learning that shoes are handicap
to his opponent, insists Derry wear
them. It's UP to the commission.
The rule governing ring attire re-
quires boxers wear proper athletic
apparel, but says nothing about
shoes.

i son Square Garden, Mr.. John Ring
ling said that he did not think that
the prizefight environment suited to the
circus, business cannot see that.
The prize ring today seems to be very
much Of a circus.
It has its clowns and its flying
trapeze performers. Mr.. Joseph Hum
pilies, who does the announcing for
Madison Square Garden, needs only a
uniform to make him look like Mr..
Ringling's best ringmaster. There have
been many bouts that looked as though
they were run on the system Of the
circus chariot races, where the riders
take their turns at winning.
In the menagerie department Of
the cauliflower industry they have
had all sorts Of strange animals.
There is the Nebraska Wildcat, there
was the Cadillac Bearcat. the Brown
Panther, the Wild Bull Of the
Pampas, the Rabbit Of the Pyrenees
and the Gyrating Giraffe of the
Andes. All in all, there have been
stranger animals In the ring than
Mr.. Ringing ever has collected for
his circus at one and the same time.
Then the industry has numerous box
ing commissions, judges and what not,
who do more strange and startling
things than have been exhibited in Mr..
Ringlings sideshows. Mr.. Ringing
should not be high-hatting the manly
art Of modified murder. In fact, the
Six Hundred Millionaires should be
dubious as to the propriety of permit
ting such a comparatively dull spectacle
as a circus to be associated with the
fight game in the temple that was
erected to Fistiana.

The Civic Club thought it would be

the names of the two best citizens in

voted on several pupils and finally de-
