 New York, March 25.-(UP).- The New York boxing commission, long may she waver!
 She is New York city's one en- duging landmark, the one itemm returning natives may be sure of finding the same. One may go to Egypt for a year of camel racing, to Labrador for a season of mush- ing, or to Florida for few months of-well, nearly every thing-but when one returns good old boxing commission, she'll be the same.
 One may return to find the Elm pire state devoured by termites, LaGuardia with a haircut, police < men polite, but the same old box ing commission will be sitting there.
 She will be stupid, dense and muddling as ever. She still will be getting in everybody's hair. every body's way. The august chairman still will be trumpeting a mile minute on subjects he knows about. So will the august second chairman, the august third chair man. In short, good old boxing commission still will be utsy- -nutsy doubled and redoubled in spades, and very. very vulnerable.
 When we left for Florida 10 weeks ago. the boxing commission with General John J. (Nuisance) Phelan leading the vocal assault, was ranting and raving that the only two respectable contender ' for Max Baer's heavyweight title 1 rxrnr HI a Art IlGEV and anyone who. wanted to fight Baer had to first lick Steve and Art.
 Mixup
 This little matter was taken care of. over in Hamburg rejuvinat- ed Max Schmeling almost knocked off the top of Hamas' noggin. Here, in Madison Square Garden, Jim Praddock hit Lasky with everything but the generals spats, To make matters more complicated (for the commission) Tootsie Car ' nera bobbed up to whip Imp Something g-or-the- Other.
 As a result three contenders were created. Faced with such a situation the commission, were 1t < possessed of enough gumption to put on it's own clohtes, would have sat down and chosen the best of the trio as the No. l challenger. The boxing customers did this for themselves and chose Schmeling. They threw Camera out on the grounds that he hadn't beaten anything but an overgrown, awk- ward boy from upstate. They dis carded Braddock because if he could hit Laskky million punches without knocking him dow, what chance would he have against Baer who starts getting tough where Lasky leaves off.
 Max Is "Thcre"
 This left only Schmeling. Which was correct, for Max is the only fighter in the business otday, with the possible exception of Joe Louis, who can bother Baer. Schmeling throws a terrific right hand. he can box, and he's game. The com mission. supposedly composed of fistic experts. should have been able to figure this out. But no, it places Braddock and Camera on the same footing with Schmeling . and probably will issue another form letter calling for another one of those elimination contests.
 brauuock, aH dBeu, OFeIBroWH light heavy, wouldn't last two rounds wi htBare. Camera. an overgrown oaf. might hang around little longer than that. but who'd pay to see 1t? Scbmeling. in form, would have chance ot win. The two Maxes would draw upwards of a million at the gate.
 That is, if the commission. the Z dear, old. dumb old commission. woptdR't block and re-block their 7 path until everybody got sick and tired of the whole business and decided ot go see Shirley Temple fHefaad.
