Divisions

Washington beak busters were
given a share of recognition in the
quarterly ratings of the National
Boxing Association released today
with Howard Cowboy Scott,
lightweight; Ray Ingram, feather
weight; and pair Of transplanted
battlerS from the Chris Dundee
stable now operating out of Wash
ington, Middleweight Ken Over

arata.
Scott was ranked tenth in the
lightweight division which is ruled
over by Champion Lou Ambers.
Ingram was rated into eighth
position in the featherweight divi-
sion.
Third Spot to OverIin
Ken Overlin, who has been bat
,tling out of Richmond, was given
the third spot in the list of chal-
lengers for a crack at Freddy
Steele, who has assumed the
N. B. A. role of champion, replac-
ing Marcel Thil of France. Thil,
incidentally has been dropped
from his title post by the rating
committee of the N. B. A. because
of the fact that the Frenchman
has refused to fight outside his
country. It was also rumored that
boxers from other countries were
getting the thumbs down" sign
in recent matches with Tllil.
Nick Camarata, the second Of
the Dundee clouters to be classed
in the ratings, pulls up in tenth
position among the feather
weights.
Surprise Over Gevinson
Considerable surprise was shown
by the failure of Lou Gevinson to
grab a rung in the featherweight
istings. Ingram, with a ranking,
has been clamoring for bout with
Gevinson, but so far the former
District amateur champion has
turned cold shoulder to all propo-
Sitions.
Petey Sarron, Birmingham,
Alabama, and Alexandria, Vir-
ginia's gift to the list of current
fight champions and who Is now
in the throes of prolonged stay
| in South Africa, is "topS" among
the featherweights. His number
one challenger is Henry Arm.

star. Others in this listing in
