TINE District Boxing Commission,

THE District Boxing Commission,
comprising Maj. Ernest w.
Brown, superintendent of police;
Maj. Lucian Vandoren and Fred
Buchholz, tentatively has given per-
mission for the staging of bouts every
Tuesday night in an outdoor George
town arena, with c. E. Fats Cor
nell as promoter. The commission
also is considering an appeal from
Promoter Joe Turner for a switch in
his boxing dates from Friday to Mon
day.
Approval of Cornell's application
was given by the commission yester-
day, pending posting of the required
bond. Cornell said he planned to
erect a stadium at Thirty-frst and K
strets, and, if possible, to stage his
first card week from today, scaling
the admission prices at so and IS
cents and 81, which would be the low
est scale to be put into effect here
Cornell says the site, which would
have concrete base of $50 feet
square, would allow for erection of
stands to accommodate 5000 or more
Turner in his formal appeal yester-
day for switch in his boxing dates
declared his present weekly date
placed him at a disadvantage, mas
much as his shows, conducted at Grif-
fifth Stadium. are open-air events and
that in case of rain they would have
to be put over to the following week,
thereby incurring extra and pro-
hibitive expense. At the present the

Is Popular Title Holder.

A PERSONABLE chap, with a
"A ready smile for every one he
meets, Barney Ross is a popular
champion. His kind comes up about
once in each decade, and the boxing
game is better off on that account.
Fighters like Ross offset the harm
created by roughnecks, who come up
from time to time and taint the good
name of the game.
Holder Of three titles-the light
weight, Junior welter and welter-
weight crowns-Ross has caused con-
siderable discussion as to whether or
not all would be at stake should he
be beaten by legitimate lightweight.
The local boxing commission, in ac-
cord with those in Illinois and Cali
fornia, ruled that but one title. ac-
cording to the weight, is in jeopardy
when Barney toes the mark. No sill
lier rule ever was promulgated. If a
lightweight is good enough to beat
Ross he has every right in the world
to claim all three titles.
Gene Tunney hit the nail on the
head when he said there was but one
champion. He referred to the heavy
weight standard bearer. Gene was
right. because it is assumed that the
biggest of them all easily can beat
a smaller man.

CAVALIE IERS COUNTING
HEAVILY ON EVERETT
Washington Boy, in Coast Meet,
Is One of Most Consistent
of Hurdling Stars.

T UNIVERSITY, Va. June 18.-Gro-
~ yer Everett. Washington boy, who
is Viginia's ace hurdler and
captain-elect of track, is on his way
to Los Angeles, where he is to COM
pete next Friday and Saturday against
the pick of the United States in the
meet sponsored by the National Col
legiate Athletic Association.
Everett is one of the most consistent
winners ever to compete for Virginia
He has won all his races in 1884, in
doors and out. And in no meet in
which point scores were counted has
any competitor topped him during the
season just ended. For his skill at
broad jumping has enabled him to in
crease the 10 points he has counted
with regularity in the two hurdle
events.
Everett's time in both the high and
low hurdles is not as good as some
others have made this year, but in
actual competition he has shown to
advantage. Phil Good of Bowdoin.
winner of the 110-meter high hurdles
in the I. G. A A A. A. meet, ran
fourth to Everett in this event during
the Penn relays.
In the California meet Everett is
entered in both hurdle races.

FALL BOUT ASKED

May Battle Carnera Again.
Garden Prefers EIimina-

BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
N YEW YORK, June 19.-Box-
\ ing'S promotorial wheels
" began to move toward
4 another heavyweight title
clash between Max Baer and
Primo Camera today.
Ancil Hoffman, pilot of the new
champion, planned to talk over the
situation with Jimmy Johnston. di-
rector of boxing at Madison Square
Garden. and Col. John r. Fitzpatrick,
president.
The Garden would prefer to hold
an elimination tournament first, the
survivor to meet Baer for the title
next June, but Hoffman and. Jack
Dempsey are seeking a match in the
Fall with Camera.
Under the terms of his contract
Baer must defend the championship
once under Garden auspices, but he
has the right to pick his opponent
and fix the date. Dempsey and Hoff-
man want to fulfill the terms of
that contract as quickly as possible
so that Baer will be free to fight un-
der Dempsey's promotion.
An elimination tournament thus
would take too long to suit them, and
Carnera seems the only possibility for
a Fall contest. Primo's right to a
return bout might well be argued on
the basis of indications that the big
italian was overtrained in his recent
joust with Baer, that he suffered
from cold, grippe and sinus trouble
and that bone in his ankle was
Clipped, presumably in the first round.

LOST BY GRADUATION
Track is Hardest Hit, With Base

A NNAPOLIS, June l8.-Most of
n the Spring sports at the Naval
Academy, which include three of
the branches in which it competes
annually with the Military Academy,
as well as rowing, rated as next to
foot ball in importance, have been
dealt heavy blow by graduations.
Rowing has lost four of its regular
oarsmen, including Stone. stroke !;
Brockett, Becker and Vic Smith, as
we'll as Krulak, its coxswain and cap
tain. oLsses from the junior varsity
boat are relatively as heavy, so that
two big crews next season.
OF all Spring sports, track losses
suffered the greatest, many of those
who took f1rsts against the Army last
month being among the graduates.
Among them are both of the Navy's
two place winners, Waybright in the
100 and 220 yards and Capt Whit
taker in both hurdles. Other grad
yates are Bob and Dewey Johnston,
the weight tossers; Nichol and Mac
kenzie, middle distance runners;
Bingham, record holding high jumper;
Metcalf, leading pole vaulter, and
Pitcher, hurdler
Lacrosse, losing such defense men
as Huff Clark, Harbold and Murray,
the foot ball captain, and Buse, is
hard hit. Seeds, regular center, also
was among the graduates. Among the
lost attack players are Capt. Condor
and Rankin, but the team will still
be strong in that department.
Base ball, though losing some good
men. is not hit as hard as the other
sports. However, the graduates in
clude Daunis, captain and first base;
Van Arsdell. regular catcher; Kossler.
second baseman, and Cassidy, left
fielder.

ID great one, any one swapping
punches with him is in danger
of getting his head blasted of his
shoulders. Baer will tell you he drives
mighty wallop to the jaw. but also
tells you not to overlook his right
to the heart. He weaves and backs
away from rival and leads him into
following. thus giving Max the OPEN
ing he needs to drive straight for the
heart. He is the first fighter in years

not spectacular, but it gets results.
Steve Hamas is in line for match

Otherwise the hard-punching Min

Art made one showing in this city
