|DROUILLARD AND
 THIL BATTLE AT. PARIS TONIGHT
Winner Will Probably Meet Steele-RiskO Winner
 a. pt- Next Summer
nr LEsLIE AYERY

 United Press Stan Correspondent
 New York, Feb. 16--(UP)--The IS round scrap between Marcel Thil of France and Lou Brouillard of Wor- cester, Mass, tonight is the first of three fights this week, aimed to sets tic the middlcweight championship dispute that has ragged since Mickey Walker abandoned the title.
 Thil, middieweight champion in the eyes of the International Boxing Union. meets Brouillard in Paris at the Palais des Sports tonight for the third time. The Frenchman, who was taught to box by American doughboys during the World War, defeated the American in F round bout in 1885 and won from him again on 6 fourth round foul last year. He has not fought since, is weary of training to make the 160- pound weight and reported ready to hany tip his gloves.
 Most important to Americans iS the 15-rotind affair at Madison Square Garden Friday night in which Freedie Steele of Tacoma, Wash. Defends his claims to the title against former Champion Ed- die CBabe) Risko. the Syracuse, N Y, sailor. Steele won the title. AS far as this country Is concerned, when he whipped Risko in q 15-' rounder at Seattle last July. The Tacoma slugger registered 1O- round, rofi-title victory over RiSko while he still wore the crown.
 The third match concerns the elimination Tourney to selectf'G top-notch challenger. Solly Krieger. the Brooklyn boy. and Fred Apostoli. west coast sensation, meet for ID rounds Wednesday night at the Hippodrome. Although both were recent losers Krieger to former champion Teddy Yarosz and Ap0s- toli to Ken Overlin--ths decisions were so close, that both are stil regarded highly.
 The two lines of thought regard- ing the middleweight tile develop cd from journeys conduLted by the National Boxing Association and the New York Boxing Conn issiorl. Ben Jeby won in New York And Gorilla Jones, clever negro puacher from Memphis, scored in thj N. E. A. Jones lost his claims h' Thil when the Frenchman won on q foul ain the 11th round of q Paris bout. Thh would never defend out of his country. If Brouillard wins tonight. the I. B. A. title will come back to the United States. Thil recently announced if he was victorious. he would come to this country for 6 shot at Steele, who boasts being ready to put his title on the line any time any where.
