ANYHOW the Stranger has emerged
from his shell at last and in letter
to Stan Baumgartner, wrestling writer

account of the famed fiasco. 1t follows:
Dear Stan:
I read with interest your account OF
the now notorious match between Steele

Apparently the only pro certain Of

Bantam Rankings
(Highest possible point total 6O0)
BY WILBUR WOOD.

"A YEW YORK, December "a. In
nj last years national boxing con-
| sensus Al Brown, elongated
colored boy from Panama, per-
formed the rare feat of winning every
first-place vote to finish with a perfect
score. This year Brown remained in
first place, but only So of the 60 selec-
tors ranked him as head man. Seven
picked him second and one dropped
him to the third notch. Even so, Al
finished with percentage of 1856, a
most unusual figure.
Baby AriZmendi of Mexico took Sec
ond place. His name is q new one in
the consensus. He received first
place designations and was named by
% for second honors, as well as third
by l3. Seven placed him fourth.
NIEWsBOY BROWN, Sioux City vet
~ eran, showed~up in third position.
He was followed by Speedy Dado
and Pete Sanstol to make up the first
division. Young Tommy, Spider Plad-
ner, Young Casanova. Eugene Huat
and Vidal Gregorio finished in that
order from sixth to tenth.
The roster of the bantamweights is
a perfect example of how boxing has
spread over the world. Nine OF the
honor positions went to foreign per-
formers, with Newsboy Brown the only
American to make the grade. Brown
is Panaman. Mexico had two rep
resentatives, with Arizmendi and Young
Casanova Dado and Tommy were in
there for the Philippine Islands. Ncr-
way contributed Pete Sanstol. Pladner
and Huat carried the French colors.
Gregorio kept Spain in the running.
4 S usual Al Brown managed to keep
IA busy. though he did most OF his
boxing in Europe, where he is
great favorite. He defended the title
twice. knocking out Spider Pladner in
the first round and winning a decision
over Kid Francis Of Italy. Al Browns
record for the year was marred by the
loss of decisions in two non-titular
contests, one with Speedy Dado and
one with Vittorio Tamagnini.
Arizmendi, though capable of max
ing the bantamweight limit in the first
half of the year, did most of his box
ing with featherweights. He scored
victories over Archie Bell. Newsboy
Brown, Fidel La Barba, Speedy Dado,
Young Tommy, Claude Warner and
Tommy Paul and drew with Varias
Milling. He lost one decision to News
boy Brown, who also scored over Lew
Pacion and Girls Pineda.
