ship, sanctioned by the National Box

pected SetbackS for two promising
young men from the Northwest.
In the main bout opening OF the
series at the Coliseum last night, Chuck
Heffner, blond youngSter from Den

Paul puncher, in 10 rounds for one up
set, and Wild Willie Oster Of Boston
turned loose q wild right swing and
knocked TAFT Littman Of Cudahy, Wis,
stiff in the second round of their
scheduled 10-round bout, for the other.
Both Littman and Sullivan, favorites
in their respective engagements, looked
good in spots; Sullivan especially ap-
peared g much more accomplished per-
former than Heffner and had him in
serious shape in the second, third and
ninth rounds, only to take beating In
the other frames. Littman got away
well in the first round and was pro-
crossing in the second when OSter
landed. Iittman toppled face forward
and was not completely accountable
when he was assisted from the ring.
A third hereunder resulted in a
clear-cut decision victory for Pete
Susky of Scranton, Pa, over Haakon
Hansen Of Norway. Susky scored re-
peatedly with q right to the body and

Feud Over Loss of CanzOneri Bout and Money

on Singer have given him the frozen
face.
Singers story Is that he has not
yet been paid his share Of the purse
Of $21, 700.27 for the Canzoneri fight.
Caplin says the fighter received all
he had coming to him in cash and
that he has witnesses. 't he was
not paid he waited a long time to
say anything about it," says the
manager.
At any rate, there was plenty Of
fireworks Caplin, suffering from an
attack of the grip, had rolled into
McArdle's office to rest. With him
was Joe (YuSseD Levy, who trains
Caplins boxers. :,
In walked Singer, accompanied
by his brother Louis. Al demanded
settlement. Caplin replied that
he did not know what the boxer
was talking about.
Without further ado the former
champion, now rather habby after
several months of idleness, launched
an amateurish round-house right at
MS managers chin. Though sitting
down, Caplin rolled his chin out of
the way and literally took 1t in the
neck. Singer then turned his at
tention to Levy, hitting him in the
mouth and cutting his lip.
Neither of AIS wallopS carried the
steam with which he once was won't
to score q knockout, and Levy
moved to the attack, launching a
kick at Singer, who was driven
against a partition. BY this time
Caplin had extricated himself from
his chair and belted Singer in the
face. Louis Singer also was hit.
Al then picked up a convenient Gus
pidor to hurl at his manager. BY
that time the aStounded gathering
had bestirred themselves to stop
hostilities.
After q few verbal exchanges the
two Singers departed. In the
wordy war Singer accused Caplin
Of withholding his money and the
manager in return charged the box
er with quitting and costing his
friends enough money to put the
Bank Of United States on its feet
again.
Caplin later stated that another
cause of the ruckus was his refusal
to release Singer from his contract
at the price offered by the boxer.
Singer wanted to 60 with Johnny
Buckley and Jack Sharkey and
offered 412,5OO for his contract,
which still has four years to run, I"
said Caplin. II demanded $4,000
to release him"

n JEW YORK, March 25.-The
M Philadelphia Athletics
i class Of base ball in gen.
eral and the American
League in particular for two years
will start the 1881 race favored to
make it three pennants in a row
The odds in support of the AS
may not be quite as long as they
were a year ago, after their 1925
stampede. Observers have de-
tected a few creaking parts in the
world championship machine
guided by 68-year-old Connie
Mack.
The probability is that the Athletics
as q club, are getting no better. They
were at the peak when they led the
Yankees to the wire by 10 games in
1929. Last year they were pressed to
finish eight games ahead Of the sur
prising Washington Senator's.
The margin may be simmer this year
II an upset is not actually sprung by
one Of the other contenders, but there
Is no substantial evidence on which to
dislodge the AS as favorites.
The champions will go into action
two weeks hence, with their big Five
still the greatest winning combination
in base ball, assuming that Al Simmons
Is persuaded to sign his contract In
time to support the efforts Of Grove,
EarnShaw, Cochrane and Foxx. They
have an inheld combination whose
ability to continue at championship
pace Is predetermined, but the essentials
Of punch and pitching remain.

If they fulfill early prospects and con-
tinue the development manifest last

closer and more interesting than it has

The New York Yankees, under Joe
