ScaIzo Given Release
By Turner 10 Fight
Perrin for Crown
Yields to New Orleans
On Promise Of Second
Title Match Here

A startling turn in the confused
featherweight championship situa-
ton this morning paved the way for
the disentanglement Of various
championship claims as Promoter
Joe Turner announced the release
of Petey Scalzo from a contract to
box In Washington May Is to enable
him to accept a bout with Jimmy
Perrin at New Orleans next month.
Turner said he had agreed to per-
init Scalzo to accept the bout pro-
vided the winner would box here
under his aegis June in a second
championship match. The next
ranking challenger would be the
new titleholder's opponent in this
match. Pete Reilly, Scalzo's manager,
agreed to the proposal without
hesitation and Turner said he ex-
pected similar confirmation from
Perrin's co-managers early this
afternoon. -.
Turner previously had obtained
Simon Chavez Of Venezuela as an
opponent for Scalzo in Washington
May Is, but decided to abandon
plans for this match because of q
81 200 transportation fee necessary
to import Chavez In view of the
muddled titular situation he said he
believed it unwise to put that match
on. Chavez may be named as chAI-
lenger in the second championship
fight.
In the event of a close decision
at New Orleans or split verdict
Scalzo and Perrin may be rematched
in Washington. This city at any
rate will have featherweisht title
fight the first week in June, Turner
promised, adding that Scalzo's re-
lease was granted only with that
proviso. zr
Turner's move was hailed as
true gesture of sportsmanship by
Heine Miller, president Of the Ma.
tional Boxing Association.
