Tronsporenti's Foe
Is Willing to Wait
For Title Chance

With befitting gasps of "ahs" and
"ohs," the National Boxing Associ-
alton today hastened wire of COM
mendation to Pete Reilly, manager
of Petey Scalzo The reason, it
seems, is that Reilly has informed
that body he isn't interested in the
featherweight title for his fighter.
Not yet, at least.
Scalzo, who will meet Lew Trans
parent here In a 10-round feature
bout Tuesday night at Turner's
Arena, has captured 48 of so en-
gagements, but Reilly prefers to
bring him along slowly for another
six months before cycling the cham
pionship The N. B. A. thinks that
is duckv and has told Reilly what
1t thinks.
II don't believe Scalzo is ready
to travel IS rounds in a champion
ship match" Reilly told N. B. A.
off1cials. Rather than have him
gamble on Knockout punch in a
championship bout, I'd prefer let
ting other contenders fight it out.
Well be ready by summer
Such honesty stuns the boxing
industry, but it serves to clarity the
featherweight situation, leaving Leo
Kodak, generally regarded as the
No l contender, to fight it out with
joey Archibald, considered world
champion by the New York Athletic
Commission. Scalzo recently kayoed
Archibald in two rounds.

The Kingston, N. Y, Colonials,
current sensations of the American
Basket Ball League. will have an
opportunity to nudge into a first
place tie with the Philadelphia

Heurich Brewers, their foes here
tomorrow night at 8 o'clock, have
other ideas along less ambitious
lines.
Only a game out of first place,
having won 9 of 13 games to the
Sphas' II and 4 record, the Colonials
are eager to snatch victories over
the Brewers and then spank the
Troy Haymakers at Kingston Mon
day night. Last night Kingston
easily defeated the Wilkes-Barre
Barons. 1923.
The Brewers, however, finally see
a chance to emerge from the dun
geon. Victories over the Colonials
and Brooklyn Visitations, to be
played here Monday afternoon at
2:3O o'clock, coupled with a Wilkes
Barre loss to the New York Jewels
tomorrow night, would move the
Brewers out of the cellar for the
first time this season.
Both games will be played at the
Heurich gym, Twenty sixth and D
streets NV, with a Heurich ANA
teur League preliminary scheduled
before the Kingston game listing
United Clay Products facing Little

training quarters this week with the
tears very close to his eyes-let us
say within Is or 20 inches.
Joe often has mentioned the fact
that John Henry Lewis is his friend,
his chum, and his bosom buddy. A
cruel fate DEGREES that Joe must
stalk this pal of his post-cradle days
like a tiger, on the night of January
rs, with homicide aforethought, and
attempt to knock his stuffings out.
Does this make Joseph feel bad?
'Scah. I guess so,' said the cham
pion thoughtfully, after searching
his soul for a matter of IS seconds.
Will his conscience cry with
anguish every time he taps John
Henry upon the button?
