TITLE FIGHT
SEEMS LOST
! TOGQTHAM
BY LES CONKLN


NEW YORK, Jan. GA king
may lose his crown today-but
the king isn't worrying. because
half a million dollars is waiting
for him in another kingdom.
The New York State Boxing
Commission, which placed the
heavyweight diadem on Max
Schmeling's brow last summer
as he writhed in the resin after
being fouled by Jack Sharkey,
has threatened to take back the
bauble unless the Teuton agrees
today to play a return engage
ment here with the terrible
Sharkey man next summer.
Joe Jacobs, the Germans man
aeer, says he will tell the COM
mission that he doesn't want the
challenger named until next
April. Unless he breaks down
under the hypnotic glare Of Chair
man James A. Farley, the little
man will risk having Schmeling's
title vacated in this state.
To Renew Offer
echo" then likely will 60 into
q huddle with Sidney N. StrOtZ,
president Of the Chicago Sta
dunn Corporation, who is here
today to renew his offer Of
$500, 900 for q Schmeling bout
In Chicago next summer.
Max's opponent probably would
be the winner Of the proposed
elimination bout at Miami be-
tween Willie Stribling and Primo
Camera, the ambling Alp.
Schmeling has agreed to de-
fend his title under the aus
pices of the milk fund organiza-
ton, and the organization may
consent to cooperate with the
Chicago Stadium Corporation in
staging the bout in Chicago.
II this procedure is followed,
SchmeIing win get half a mill
Hon dollars and Sharkey will be
recognized as champion Of the
world In Canarsie, N. z; Woods
Hole, Mass; Oil City, Pa, and
other outlying precincts.
Jack is willing to fight Strib-
ling again with a Schmeling
bout as the prize, but the New
York board Gon't let him,
AS the situation stood this
morning before the start Of the
momentous meeting, Sharkey and
Madison Square Garden were
holding the bag.
William F. Carey, president Of
the Garden Corporation, planned
to make . last desperate effort
to keep the title bout in New
York by asking the fiStic fathers
to sanction an elimination bout
between Sharkey and Stribling in
Miami under Garden auspices,
with the winner to meet Max
here next June as per the original
schedule.
But Chairman Farley has is
sued an iron-clad ultimatum that
Schmeling must fight Sharkey or
nobody, without further elimina
ton tits, and when a conviction
becomes firmly rooted in Farley's
mind, not even Gus Sonnenberg' s
flying tackle could bulge him.
Run-Out Powders
He has expressed his belief that
Jacobs and Schmeling have been
dining on run-out powders, even
declaring that Max could have
gotten up from the canvas and
gone on with the fight after be-
ing hit low by Sharkey last sum-
mer. It's q ,20-to-1 shot that he
will tell "Cho" and ''Mexie" today
to go and roll their hoops down
another alley.
The only other factor that may
save the title bout forsNew York
and vicinity is the possibility that
the brawl be held in a municipal
stadium to be constructed across
the river in Jersey City. This
stadium will seat 10000 people,
an item that is not to be and viii
not be overlooked.

CRACK TEAMS
TOMAKE Up
CIRCUIT
BY JOE HOLMAN

A final reorganization meeting
of the Washington Basketball
League will be called to order by
President Bill Flester tonight in
French's Sporting Goods Store,
721 Fourteenth st. N. w. at 8
o'clock.
All teams interested in enroll
raent are asked to be represented
by a delegate.
Definite lining up Of entries,
formation of a schedule and
other preliminary details are to
be disposed of during the ses-
sion.
Nine Teams
Nine formidable teams al
ready have filed application for
entrance. They are: Stewart
Brothers, Census EnumeratOrS,
Skinker Eagles, United Type
writer's, Howard A. French Com
pany, Alpha Delta Omega, Ma
val Air Station, AnacOStia
Eagles and Northern A. G.
While it was originally intended
to band together an eight team
circuit it is possible that Presi-
dent Flester may enlarge the
1881 body to 10 clubs.
Several teams other than those
mentioned have evidenced inter
est in the circuit and have init
mated that they will be repre-
sented at tonight's conclave.
The caliber of teams already
registered assures the defending
champions, Skinker Brothers, Of
some merry competition. In addi-
ton to French's 1880 runner-up,
newcomers are expected to, pro-
vide the District champions with
some real opposition.
Formidable Clubs
Census EnumeratOrs, United
TypewriterS, NOrtherns and
Naval Air Station, to mention
a few, are expected to stub
bOrnly contest the champion
ship laureIS.
This league, in many respects,
must be classed among the most
colorful ever organized locally.
Alpha Delta Omega, Of Alexan-
dria, Va, assures inter-city rivalry.
The Flying Sailors representing
Naval Air Station represent the
only flying quintet in existence,
while Stewart Brothers, French'S
and Anacostia Eagles are made
up of young performers who only
recently have graduated into un-
limited classification.
A newly organized quintet,
Census EnumeratorS, undoubtedly
must be reckoned with in the
championship settlement. Com.

That was Just about what the Prince had

stood. menacingIy, at the mouth Of his cave.
If it had not been for the fact that all Of the

selves similarly. Cutlasses, rapiers and broad
swords leaped from their scabbards.
AS the freebooters advanced, the unfamiliar
weapons held rather foolishly in their right
hands, the Prince slashed his cutlass across
them the way small boy drags lath along
a picket fence The first impact of the Princes
weapon knocked about half the swords from
their unfamiliar resting places. After that he
began dealing with his opponents individually,

and fencing either broke their blades or twisted
them from their hands

american Immigration Menace

As remarked recently and repeat with en-
~ phasis. it has been puzzle to me always
to learn upon what ground these organiza-
tions base their reasoning and yet call them
selves Americans" There is nothing Ameri-
can in it, nothing democratic. They aid these
alien preachers Of violence in their appeals 10
the courts and, If the courts uphold the order
for deportation, they descend in much ag1ta-
ton upon the Department of Labor, crying
loudly for Justice" and presenting this or that
plea for q change of the deportation order
When these pleas prove Of no avail, they
quickly resort to the humanitarian touch;
they weep copiously over the plight OF the
would-be citizen who is being thus cruelty
elected from the land he wishes to adopt
and use Specious and lachrymose arguments In
his behalf The slogan, america first" be-
comes on their tongues America last"
AS for the future, see the necessity Tor
continuing our present policy Of immigration
restriction and for increasing our powers of
assimilation of the foreign born element OF our
population This is largely a matter Of edu-
cation intend In my next report TO Con-
gress upon the activities of the Department Of
Labor to make a request for immediate 1egis-
lation raising the educational requirements for
admission to citizenship. think no more con-
structive action could be taken by Congress
than the passage of q citizenship law so
strengthened. under the influence Of which the
adult alien in this country would be afforded
increased facilities to acquire the necessary
knowledge of our institutions and otherwise to
equip himself for hfe's struggle upon higher
intellectual plane .o n6. s sl.s

Wykoffs form is superb. He digs his holes

And the panic was on
The Prince cleared quite considerable space
Immediately in front Of him by using the
wooden leg much as . xyIophone soloist en-
ploys the little dingus that he strikes on the
metal bars to bring out those lovely vibrations.
He had gained for himself brief interval OF
several seconds In which TO take swift look
at the situation with q view to developing its
strategic possibilities.
In back Of him was Senator Borrow. To
the Senator's rear was q mirrored niche The
niche was obviously the best place in which to
meet all corners, because 1t afforded protection
on three sides.
But where was Fame? A wild glance re-
vealed her just rising from STOPPING posture
at the Princes very feet. In her hand she held
a cutlass which she had taken from the belt Oh
a fallen buccaneer.
"Herel" shouted the Prince. BE careful OF
that You might hurt somebody"
She couldn't hear him, but she knew what
he meant and indicated in pantomine her
reply: It was only going to give it to father"
The Prince considered swiftly. There was
no likelihood that Senator Borrow knew how to
use a cutlass Therefore Prince Heider put the
wooden leg in Senator Borrow's extended hand
and grabbed thu cutlass himself. Senator
Borrow lifted the wooden leg over MS mead
with the apparent intention OF striking at
something. What he really hit was the mirror
In back of him.
