 Pete Scalzo is the NBA champion. Louisiana calls Jimmy Perrin the division ruler. New York, and some other states, side with Harry Jef- fra.
 There are two lightweight, two welterweight, and two middle weight champions.
 The NBA recognizes Sammy Angott as lightweight king. New York, and other states, recognizes Lew Jenkins. Texas, an NBA member, recognizes Jenkins, home state pride.
 The NBA rates Tony zale as middleweight champion. New York ranks Ken Overlin as the boss. Billy Soose is the uncrowned cham pion. He has won decisions over both of them in non-title, over the-weight matches. The over-the- weight designation is a device that allows champions to risk defeat at the hands of worthy contender without risking their crowns.

Trouble seems to follow Juneau ieht promoter Slugger Weaver.
 First, his bout scheduled between Eddie Murphy and Larry Trambitas the A. B. R'nk was postponed to tcljght from an earlier date.
 Now, Trambitas has announced o Weaver, the promoter said, that he has quit fighting--so the fight s postponed again to November 10 with Eddie Murphy declaring himself in perfect physical condi- tion and sending out a challenge to Billy McCann for another bout.
 Nothing's been heard from Mc- Cam as yet, but if Billy accepts, the regular promised card, except for the main event, will go on as scheduled, Weaver said.
 Borrowing promoter Weaver de- clares ell tickets purchased will be good for the November Is bout, if it comes off, and if plars fall through again, money will be re- funded

JannazZo.
 Maryland refuses to recognize Zivic who beat Henry Armstrong, because shortly before their fight Maryland declared Armstrong's title vacant. This action came when Stanley Scherr, Maryland Com missioner, said he had been told by Armstrong's manager, Eddie Mead, that the titleholder could not fight anywhere without the con- sent of Promoter Mike Jacobs of New York. Efforts had been made to get Armstrong to defend his crown in Baltimore against the winner of the Kid Cocoa lazy Jan nazzo fight. Maryland elected to call the victor in this match the champion.
 Only Louis, Light Heavyweight Billy Conn and Bantamweight Lou Salica are undisputed world champions.
 The NBA recognizes Little Dado as flyweight champion. New York, at present, does not recognize a champion in this class.
 The featherweight muddle came about after Armstrong gave up the title. There were three outstano- ing ontenders--Joey Archibald, Scalzo and Leo Kodak. The NBA ruled-and says all managers agreed that two should fight and the winner should meet the third for the title. Archibald defeated Kodak but an Archibald-Scalzo match was never arranged Archibald then won a bad" decision-as former President Harvey L. Miller of the NBA termed itr-over Jeffra. The NBA then ruled that they should box again. AS Miller explains it, when Archibald declined, the NBA reverted to Scalzo, originally and continually it's No. l man." Jeffra later defeated Archibald and New York and other states recognized him as champion.

 Both men are to tip the scales at l47 pounds, and the battle is to go Is rounds or less for the welterweight championship of AL aska
 This comes as good news to Mo- Cam who will have more time to condition himself for one of the most important fights since his battling began in Alaska.
 The fight will have added inter est in the fact that champion ship silver plated belt will be the possession of the winner. McCann, who holds the title for Alaska and the belt at present will put it on the block in this event, 1t was re- liably reported to the Empire to- day.
 The belt, a very neat affair, is very original. The buckle is about four inches wide and six inches long of highly polished silver. En- graved across the face of the buckle is "Welterweight Champion of Alaska" It also has a picture of a pair of boxing gloves en- graved on it. A velvet belt strap completes a very nice emblem.
